<br />COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJEC',-
<br />
<br />the system, the Department's decision entails interconnections, but
<br />not wheeling.
<br />The four major power companies whose proposals have been ac-
<br />cepted are: The Pacific Power & Light Co. in Wyoming, Public
<br />Service Co. of Colorado, Public Service Co. of New Mexico, and the
<br />Utah Powe~ & Light Co. An agreement has also been reached with
<br />the California-Pacific Utilities Co., which serves southwestern Utah.
<br />The Colorado River storage project was authorized by the Congress
<br />as.a Federal undertaking by the Bureau of Reclamation to provide
<br />storage and river regulation in the Upper Basin Colorado River
<br />watershed in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. The
<br />storage project is intended to permit the upper basin States to meet
<br />downstream compact commitments and still make feasible upstream
<br />water-use projects, identified as participating projects.
<br />The project will have a total installed hydroelectric capacity of
<br />over 1,100,000 kilowatts in powerplants which will be a part of multi-
<br />purpose dams now under construction on the Colorado River and its
<br />tributaries.
<br />Synopses of agreements with the companies, a map. showing the
<br />interconnection system, together with changes which will be made
<br />from the originally proposed all-Federal system, and a list of changes
<br />in time or status of construction of individual sections of the line are
<br />attached.
<br />Following is the status of various segments of the Bureau of Re-
<br />clamation transmission system as a result of the agreements. All
<br />lines are single circuit. The following proposed transmission lines
<br />will be eliminated:
