<br />l'\) <br />..... <br />~ <br />o <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <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: <br />Kilovolts <br />Vernal-Springville, Utah (2) _ _ _ _ - ______ __ _ __ __ _ _ _ ___ ___ ___ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ 138 <br />Flaming Gorge-Hyrum-Springville, Utah_ __ _ __ __ _ _ _ ___ ___ _____ _ _ _ ___ _ 138 <br />Glen Canyon-Centerfield-Fillmore, Utah____ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ _ _ 138 <br />Paragonah-St. George Tap, Utah_ -- - - _ _ __ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ ___ __ __ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ 138 <br />Midway-Limon, Colo_ - ------- _______________________-------------- 230 <br />Construction is postponed: <br /> <br />Kilovolts <br />Curecanti-Midway, Colo_ _ _____ __ __ __ ________ __ _ _ _ _ __ ____ __ __ __ _ __ 230 <br />Shiprock-Albuquerque, N.
