White House Signal to
Start Randall Power
A telephonic signal from the
white house in Washington, D.C.,
will start the first power surging
on the line from the nearly-com
pleted Ft. Randall dam to Mis
souri basin consumers in a dedi
cation ceremony to be held short
ly after March 15.
Brig.-Gen. W. E. Potter, Mis
souri river division engineer for
corps of engineers, said he had
advised Gov. Sigurd Anderson of
South Dakota that the first of
the eight 40,000-kilowatt units of
the Ft. Randall power plant could
be placed in operation any time
after March 15. The South Dako
ta governor has announced that
President Eisenhower has con
sented to participate in the dedi
cation ceremony from the white
house by means of a direct tele
phone line to the powerhouse.
Plans for the dedication cere
mony are being coordinated by
Governor Anderson’s office, with
the cooperation of corps person
nel. The specific date for the cei
>***!*!t?*******t*,**************>**>**,****,>***
*
; emony, which is expected to be
anounced soon, will permit an’pie
powerhouse equipment and the
j time for extensive tests of the
final tie-in with power transmis
j sion lines of the bureau of recla
I mat ion.
Because of winter weather
and the limited space available
in the powerhouse, the govern
or plans to limit invitations to
about one hundred persons.
General Potter cited the initial
! peneration of power at Ft. Ran
dall as a construction milestone
in the comprehensive Missouri
basin river development program.
He paid tribute to the harmonious
working relations existing be
tween the corps and contractors,
suppliers and labor leaders, in ov
ercoming difficulties arising from
shortages of labor, supplies and
critical materials during the Ko
rean war period.
The Ft. Randall dam, a corps
of engineers multiple - purpose
project, has been under construc
tion since 1946. It is a major unit
in the authorized comprehensive
program of river development in
the Missouri basin. Now 75 per
cent completed, this project is
planned to have an ultimate to
tal power installation of 320,000
kilowatts when all eight power
units are completed. Additional
units will come on the line at
three or four-month intervals.
The dam itself will be es
sentially completed by the close
of 1954. Work now under contract
will complete the spillway and
powerhouse, and bring the earth
fill dam up to the full 160-foot
crest elevation.
Storage of water in the reser
voir began last spring and at
present nearly 1,400,000 acre
feet of water is impounded above
the dam, creating the largest
body of water in South Dakota.
When in full operation the
reservoir will extend 150 miles
upstream, with a maximum
controlled storage of 6,300,000
acre-feet.
In addition to performing an
important flood control function
and producing a large block of
hydro-power, the project will be
operated to conserve and regulate
flows in the Missouri river in the
interests of navigation, municipal
water supply and sanitation, and
fish and wildlife conservation.
The clear-water lake is expected
to attract thousands of tourists,
vacationists and others who enjoy
fishing, boating, swimming and
ether recreational benefits of a
large body of water.
Power generated at the Ft.
Randall power plant will be
transmitted to customers over
power lines built and operated
by the bureau of reclamation.
