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 facilities will be con-

MAP OF LAKE Above is a map of the reservoir which
will be made when the California Oregon Power company
completes its Iron Gate dam project a few miles upstream
on the Klamath river from Hornbrook, Calif. 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. The
Eagle Point plant went into j
operation in 1957. The North
Umpqua development in
cludes eight plants with the
last one. Lemolo No. 2 going
into operation in 1956.
