FPC Urged To Schedule Action
On. Mountain Sheep Dam Query
By
I ff - U f
4. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special) - The
Federal Power Commission is
being urged by Pacific North
Kmfrmwk west Power
Co. to sched
ule action on
its application
for a license
to build high
Mountain
Sheep dam in
the Middle
Snake river.
But FPC offi-
Koift. snu cials say they
are so jammed up with other
hytfr oelectric controversies
they jnight not get to the
Mountain Sheep case for an
other year. . .
The company recently filed
amendments to its high Moun
tain Sheep dam application to
n?ake it conform to the rec
ommendation of the Corps of
Engineers' proposed project
for that stretch of the river.
The power company now pro
poses to build a dam about
690 feet high, with an ulti
mate generating capacity of
1.750,000 KW. at a cost of
9212 million.
"We're jammed up right
now," observed a high FPC
Official. "I don't know when
we've had so many requests
fr hearings on hydro cases."
. He, noted that the FPC will
hold a hearing next month on
the Round Butte dam propos
al of Portland General Elec
tric Co., that Idaho Power Co.
wants hearings on proposals
to amend its fish passage
scheme for its dams in Hells
Canyon stretch of the river,
that hearings have been in
progress for months over sev
eral rival projects on the
Pend Oreille river in Wash
ington state, not to mention
cases in other sections of the
country.
"So I don't know whether j age and in excess of 3,300,000
we will get to the Mountain
Sheep case in January or Feb
ruary, or not until winter of
1960-61," he added.
. The first step will be for
the FPC to give public notice
that it has received the com
pleted application. This will
afford the public, the states
and federal agencies an op
portunity to submit comments
or ask to intervene.
A possible intervener is the
Hells Canyon. Association,
which has already filed some
preliminary motions in this
case at the FPC. This is the
group which fought Idaho
Power Co. in the HeHs Can
yon case and lost in its effort
to block the Boise utility from
building low dams in this
area The Hells Canyon Asso
ciation now is more favorably
disposed toward the proposed
Nez Perce dam, just below
the confluence of the Salmon
and Snake, rivers.
Pacific Northwest Power
Co. - organized for this pur
pose by PGE, Pacific Power
and Light Co., Washington
Water Power and Montana
Power Co. - states its case
for high Mountain Sheep dam
in its application as follows:
Companion Dam
The applicant proposes to
construct, as its Middle Snake
river project, the high Moun
tain Sheep development. This
dam ... will be located on
the Middle Snake river imme
diately upstream of the con
fluence of the Salmon river.
A companion dam (which is
not included in this applica
tion for license), the Lower
Canyon development, would
be located on the Salmon riv
er immediately above its con
fluence with the Snake, de
veloping head to elevation
1575. The two dams would
provide a maximum of 5,600,
000 acre feet of usable stor-

KW of ultimate capability
"Development of substan
tially the same resources
could also be obtained with a
single dam, the Nez Perce de
velopment, located on the
Snake river immediately
downstream from the conflu
ence of the Snake and Salmon
rivers. This dam would be a
concrete gravity dam, ap
proximately 700 feet high,
normal pool elevation 1490,
with two poverhouses on
each side of the river, initial
installation of 8 units of 1,
200,000 KW rated capacity,
and ultimate installation of
17 units of 2,550,000 KW rat
ed capacity.
"Nez Perce development
would provide lesser resource
development than high Moun
tain Sheep and Lower Can
yon. Depending upon field ex
perience with experimental
fish handling devices, the re
sources of the Salmon river
might, alternately, be devel
oped by diverting portions of
Salmon river flows in excess
of necessary minimum flow
into the high Mountain Sheep
reservoir. Applicant does not
include the Lower Canyon de
velopment nor the Salmon
river diversion in its applica
tion for license for the Middle
Snake river project."
The Power company argu
ment boils down to this:
1. There is no reason why
high Mountain Sheep dam
should not be built now, so
give us a license to start con
struction. , ,
2. Nez Perce dam cannot be
built now because no method
has been found for getting
migratory fish past high
dams, and until this is found
a dam at Nez Perce site would
blockade the Salmon river
fishery.
3. If methods are devised"
for passing fish around high
dams, then in that future time
it would be feasible to build
a dam at Lower Canyon on
the Salmon river in conjunc
tion with high Mountain
Sheep. This, the company
maintains, would provide
more benefits than if the Nez
Perce dam were built. -
4. If fish passage problems
are never satisfactorily solved
for high dams, then the Sal
mon river should be main
tained as a sanctuary for fish,
unblocked by Lower Canyon
or any other dam, including
Nez Perce. But meanwhile,
high Mountain Sheep dam
would be ljuilt or underway
(the company estimates it
would take about seven years
to finish) and providing water
storage and a new source of
kilowatts for the region.
