This newsletter, the fourth on the Glen Canyon Dam Power Plant Expansion, will
explain the decision needed early in 1981 on what size to recommend for the power
plant expansion or not having a project and the start of an editorial page for the
newsletter. Also covered will be a data collection program for evaluating the
fishery between the dam and Lee's Ferry.

Decision

:',,-;'";

~~

As stated in Newsletter Number 3, the first major decision for the study will occur
early in 1981 and will involve selection of a size; either 125 megawatts, 250 mega-
watts, or deciding that the project should not be built and the study should be
discontinued.

Editorial Page

Water and Power will prepare brief descriptions of the impacts and economic feasi-
bility of a 125-megawatt and a 250-megawatt power plant expansion. A description
of the alternative of not having a project will also be described for comparison
with the two alternative expansion sizes. These descriptions will be given to the
teams for review, discussion, and suggestions; and public meetings will be held to
discuss the sizes or not having a project.

In order to further promote discussion on the project, an editorial page will be
added to future newsletters. The procedure will be that if people would like to
make a statement on the project they are encouraged to send a letter with their
ideas to this office with their name and address. We will print the letters in
the following newsletter. We may have to edit some letters for length. We hope
that the newsletter editorial page will provide another forum for discussion of
issues on this important study.
