<br />000706 <br /> <br /> <br />DBPARTMINT af the INTBRIOR <br />news release <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />(gI~)JWlm n <br /> <br />Mi\Y 7 1982 U <br /> <br />Darlene Harrod 343-466 <br /> <br /> <br />BUREAU OF RECLAMATION <br /> <br />For Release April 29, 1982 COLORADO WATER <br />CO~,;2'::"ilJ.!:\'I<J~' 80n[;li) <br />$3 MILLION CONTRACT AWARDED FOR GARRISON DIVERSION PUMPING PLANT <br /> <br />Interior Secretary James Watt announced today the award of a $3,285,000 <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation contract for construction of the Oakes Pumping Plant, a <br /> <br /> <br />feature of North Dakota's Garrison Diversion Unit. <br /> <br />Commissioner of Reclamation Robert N. Broadbent said the pumping plant will <br />be built by Robert L. Carr Company of Marshall, Minnesota, at a site adjacent to <br />Highway 1 about O'le 'llile south of Oakes, North Dakota. The pumping plant is part <br />of the system which will deliver water to a 5,000-acre test area where irrigation <br />return flows will be monitored to determine how streams, wetlands, and wildlife <br />might be affected. <br /> <br />Broadbent said construction of the Oakes Pumping Plant and the distribution <br />system in the Oakes test area is essential so that soil and return flow research <br />and testing required to resolve Canadian concerns can be accomplished. <br /> <br />When completed in the spring of 1985, the pumping plant will lift water 27 <br />feet from the James River and discharge it into a flume at the head of the Oakes <br />Canal. A 6,800-foot-long intake channel and the Oakes Canal will be built under <br />a future contract and will be completed at about the same time as the pumping <br />plant. <br /> <br />The pumping plant structure will be 125 feet high and 65 feet wide. A major <br />portion of the building will be below grade. It is designed to house eight vertical <br />shaft pumping units with a capacity of 320 cubic feet per second. However, only <br />four units will be installed at this time to provide the needed 85 cubic feet per <br />second capacity to irrigate the test area. Power for the pumps will come from <br />the James Valley Electric Cooperative, <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />JNT 2090-82 <br />111"11111111111111111' <br />
