In a joint program of Pacific Power and the California Fish and Game Department, the in vestigations will utilize variations of a water tower being erected at the dam. Jack Hanel, Mcdford, staff bi ologist for Pacific Power, re ports analysis of the Klamath Itiver water during the past year indicates the fish facility water could benefit from ae-ation dur ing certain months. The PP&L biologist re-ported studies have shown a deficiency of oxygen in the water at lower levels of the reservoir in the late summer and early fall, believed attributable to algae decomposi tion. Hand said an experimental wa ter aeration tower will be erected at the toe of the dam where water is drawn from the Iron Gate reservoir. The site will per mit the water to be diverted to the fish holding ponds or to a possible future hatchery for the area. The PP&L biologist said the California department personnel working on the aeration program includes Jim Riley, Klamath Riv er Fisheries manager; Elton Bai ley and Harold Hewlitt of the Redding regional office, and Carl Hill, manager of the Mount Shasta fish hatchery. Directing the investigation for Pacific Pow er is Dr. Roy Hamilton, head biologist of the power company's lescarcn nepariment stall In Portland. The research program will in volve flowing water down the tower structure to increase its oxygen content and improve wa t"r quality in other aspects. A series of tests are expected to he conducted before the most clfcclive aerator system is prov en.
