Still, when funds are available, this will be the plan of develop- <br /> <br />~1 <br /> <br />ment, and I think you will agree that completion of development will result <br /> <br />;, <br /> <br />in a recreational area having very great tourist appeal. <br /> <br />Next, I wish to refer to Exhibit "B" which is identical with Exhibit <br /> <br />"A" except that ribbons have been superimposed on the drawing to. show <br /> <br />routes by which power must leave the Estes Powerflant. It is immediately <br /> <br />apparent that there are 2 methods of carrying this power away from Estes <br /> <br /> <br />Power Plant: (1) by overhead transmission lines which are indicated here <br /> <br />by light ribbons, or (2) by underground cables which are indicated by dark <br /> <br />ribbons. At this point I would like to mention that the problem of over- <br /> <br />head lines versus underground cables was studied in considerable detail <br /> <br />during the development of Lake Estes area recreational plans by the National <br /> <br />Park Service and the Reclamation Bureau, and decision was informally reached <br /> <br />in favor of overhead transmission lines because of economic considerations <br /> <br />which will .be more fully discussed later in my statement. <br /> <br />Exhibit "C", which I now refer to, shows in diagrammatic style a some- <br /> <br />what larger area than was represented in Exhibit ''E'' and relates all pro- <br /> <br />posed transmission lines in the area from the east portal of the Adams <br /> <br />Tunnel to a point about a mile east of Olympus Dam. Route "A" represents <br /> <br />the overhead transmission lines now under construction by Electrical Con- <br /> <br />structors, Iny'., and C. M. Elliott and comprises a double circuit, overhead <br /> <br />transmission line supported by steel towers along the south shore of Lake <br /> <br />Estes; a double circuit, overhead transmission line supported by steel <br /> <br />towers from Estes Power Plant to a point near the surge tank at the top <br /> <br />of the Estes Power Plant Penstocks; a wood-type, H-frame overhead trans- <br /> <br />mission line from the surge tank to Marys Lake Power Plant; and another <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />,- .'-,' <br /> <br />.1 <br />J <br />
