<br />Basinwide Status
<br />
<br />By the close of 1959 flooo. control and river development projects of
<br />the Corps of Engineers having an estimated total Federal cost of $765,000,000
<br />had been constructed or essentially completed in the l~ssouri River Basin.
<br />Presently under construction, or scheduled for construction start shortly,
<br />are projects estimated to cost $1,330,000,000. In the planning stage are
<br />additional projects having an estimated construction cost of $246,000,000.
<br />
<br />During 1959, construction w~rk on river control projects estimated at
<br />$92)000,000 was placed under contract by the Corps in the Basin. (Tnis
<br />fi~re includes ~~rk expected to be placed under contract prior to 1 Janua~J
<br />1911!lll) The outlook for 1960 is f'or approximately $140,000,000 of additional
<br />work to be awarded for construction.
<br />
<br />Appropriations for thc civil works program of the Corps in the Missouri
<br />Basin for fiscal year 1960, which ends 1 July 1960, araount to $112,868,000.
<br />
<br />Missouri River Dams
<br />
<br />Tne construction of major multiple-purpose dams and reservoirs on the
<br />main stem of the !Jl.issouri River moved into the final stage in 1959, with
<br />the initiation of' construction on Big Bend Dam above Chamberlain, South
<br />Dakota. Essentially completed and operating in the pUbli,c service are the
<br />Fort Peck Dam in Montana, Garrison Dam in North Dakota, Fort Randall Dam in
<br />South Dakota, and Gavins Point Dam on the South Dakota-Nebraska border.
<br />Major construction activitJ' continues at Oshe Dam near Pierre, South Dakota,
<br />where the last load of earth was placed on the main embankment this fall.
<br />Remaining work in the damsi te area '1ill be concentrated largely on the pO~Ter
<br />structures and the spillway.
<br />
<br />Construction is conUnuing on the fourth and fifth pO'Ter generation
<br />units at the Garrison project, and on the second powerplant at Fort Peck.
<br />The present installed capacity of the four operating main stem power plants
<br />is 745,000 kilo~Tatts. These plants produced approximately 3,900,000,000
<br />kilo'Tatt hours of electricity in 1959, an inCrease of 8 percent over 1958.
<br />With the addition of the two final generator units at Garrison by mid-1960,
<br />the installed capacity of the main stem plants will be increased to 905,000
<br />kilowatts.
