We Salute Our Town! i A i i I t a i a Klamath Project To Have 18,000 Kilowatt Output Preliminary work has start ed on the California Oregon Power company's second plant in its $70 million pow er development program of the Klamath river. The initial plant in the de velopment, the Big Bend plant, was completed in 1058, and the Iron Gate project, a few miles upstream from Hornbrook, Calif., is expect ed to be completed in 1961. The remaining plants, Cop co officials said, will be con structed when the electric de mand indicates that addition al power is needed. When completed, the development program will provide an esti mated 315,000 kilowatts from seven hydroelectric plants. Coil of Project The Iron Gale project is expected to cost about $6''2 million, and provide a rated capacity of 18.000 kilowatts from a vertical reaction tur bine rated at 25,000 horse power. Located about 7 miles downstream from the exist ing Copco No. 2 power plant, the dam will be an earth-fill type with compacted clay core, concrete cutoff wall and grout curtain at the base. Length at the crest will be about 685 feet, and the height above the stream bed will be 173 feet, Copco officials said. Elevation of the crest of the dam above sea level will be 2.338 feel. The spillway is a free overflow, side channel type with a capacity of 32,000 cubic feet per second. River Diverted While the dam itself is un der construction, the Klam ath river will be diverted through a 16-foot horseshoe shape tunnel, 935 feet long under the right abutment of the dam. Through the left abutment will be a 12-foot steel pipe, concrete encased, for a 230-foot waterway. The penstock to the power plant will be a 12-foot steel pipe about 400 feet long, ca pable of handling 1,650 cubic feet of water per second. A substation adjacent to the powerhouse will contain a three-phase transformer ca pable of stepping up the gen erator output voltage to 66 KV. A transmission line of standard wood pole construc tion will connect the substa tion with Copco's existing transmission system at the Copco No. 2 switchyard, com pany officials explained. The reservoir will be oper ated essentially as a re-regulating reservoir with a capa city of about 58,000 acre feet. The normal operating water surface elevation is 2,328 feel, with a normal low ele vation of 2,325 feet. Inundate County Road The reservoir will inundate some existing county road, and about 62 miles will be relocated by Copco. The new road will be owned and main tained by Siskiyou county upon completion of the proj ect. ; In (-(injunction with the state's department of fish and game. Copco will provide a fish ladder, holding tanks, pipe lines and egg taking fa cilities below the powerhouse.

The lake will have a surface water area of about 975 acre feet, the company said. The proposed county road to the north of structed to state specifica tions, and upon completion, will be owned and operated by the state. To preserve fish and wild life In and along the Klam ath river, Copco will release from Iron Gate 1,300 cubic feet per second between Sept. 1 and April 30, 1,000 cubic feet per second between May 1 and 31. 710 cubic feet per second between June 1 and July 31, and 1,000 cubic feet per second between Aug. 1 and 31. , Copco said it will not fluc tuate the river provided that in the event it is necessary to increase or decrease the flow to or about the prescribed flows the rate of change of flow shall not exceed 250 cu bic feet per second of water per hour, and that the change in the river stage or elevation shall not exceed three inches per hours as measured at a gauge located not more than one - half mile downstream from the project, whichever produces the least amount of fluctuation. 250 People Employed Copco estimates that the Iron Gate project will em ploy about 250 people during its construction. Construction of Iron Gate dam and powerplant is anoth er step in the company's ex pansion program, which has been under way to provide sufficient electric power to northern California and southern Oregon since the firm was organized In 1912 with the merger of the Siski you Power and Light com pany, the Klamath Falls Light and Water company and the Rogue River Electric com pany. In 1920, the company was reorganized and renamed the California Oregon Power company, and moved its head quarters from San Francisco to Medford. Between 1926 and 1947, the company whs owned and op erated by Standard Gas and Electric company, one of the nation's foremost public util ity holding companies. Own ership was acquired through purchase of Copco's outstand ing common gtck. Comply with Provisions In 1947, however, in com pliance with provisions of the Public Utility act of 1935. Standard Gas and Electric company disposed of Its in terests iii Copco to an invest ment banking group, which in turn made a public offer ing of the acquired shares of slock. The company as of Dec. 31 had 21,069 stockholders, chief ly in the three western states. The Klamath river devel opment program was started after the North Umpqua de velopment was completed in 10.16. and a plant was in stalled at Eaule Point.
