Feasibility of Columbia Basin Project Outlined
The Bureau of Reclamation reports to Secretary Wilbur that the Columbia Basin project is feasible. It envisions a 450 foot dam across the Columbia River north of Grand Coulee, creating a 22 mile Grand Coulee reservoir with power plant capacity of 2,100,000 horsepower. Total estimated investment tops 260 million dollars, with irrigation and power aims and potential for a 144 million dollar surplus after repayment.
