about 40 hp per mile or with 270 miles of pipeline an aggregate of about 

 11,000 horsepower or 8,200 kw. 



Proposed PrngraTi^ 



Phase I 



The initial work on this transport system would be for a small team of 



biologists and engineers to review the concept for feasibility and cost. Key 



questions regarding system, life expectancy and other matters would be 



answered. 



Phase II 



If the initial review Is positive, a prototype design and test program would 

 be developed to outline laboratory and field tests requirements needed to 

 further confirm and/or modify program. Fisheries agencies and operating 

 agencies would be involved in this and subsequent phases. 



Phase III 



Next the field and laboratory tests would be funded and carried out. The 

 prototype test loop would be installed and tested (see Figure 5). Provided 

 all indicators - biological, engineering and economic - are supportive, the 

 Program would move to Phase IV. 



Phase IV 



Future phases would be for the construction of one or more of the dame to dam 



reaches .
