Reclamation Commissioner Gilbert G. Stamm said the hydroelectric capacity in the basin could be increased by six million kilowatts, according to a preliminary study. The increase would produce as much electricity as the Kaiparowits Power Plant and the proposed Intermountam Power Project combined. The increase would be through expansion of existing hydro powcrplants, increased capacity of plants already authorized, potential new pumped storage, and changes in operation of the large storage reservoirs along the 1,440-mil- e Colorado River. The river flows through Utah, forming Lake Powell. The upgrading would triple the present generating' capability of the river basin, and increase by twothirds the total capacity in all of the bureaus 50 power plants in the 17 Western states. The plants today1 produce enough electricity to meet the residential needs of over 15 million people.

Stamm said. He said hydro can be used as a backup to other utility systems to save limited and expensive fossil reduces America's fuels, and the water-powe- r reliance on imported fuel. Many factors must be weighed in the decision, he added. We have to consider possible impacts on the environment, on fish and wildlife, on salinity of the river, and on riverflow patterns below the dams. Also needing study are social impacts on people who live nearby, Stamm said. Four new Bureau of Reclamation studies are investigating the feasibility of increasing power generation. Any rpajor new construction would require authorization from Congress. Stamm said the major Colorado River reservoirs are expected to approach maximum capacity in the next few years, and water releases may have to be increased for flood control. One study will focus on operating the reservoirs to gain maximum power generation from these additional water releases.
