Rampart Dam “Greatest” Says Moats
The proposed Rampart Canyon
hydroelectric development on the
Yukon River was called Alaska’s
“greatest single resource” in a
speech Monday at Anchorage by
Harold L. Moats.
Moats is the Assistant Chief of
the Engineering Division of the
U. S. Army Engineer District,
Alaska. The District started on-the
site engineering investigations of
the project this winter.
“With early development and
wise management, it (Rampart)
will yield rich benefits to Alaska,
the nation and the whole free
world,” he said.
Engineering studies indicate that
the project could be developed by
a concrete gravity dam, 500 feet
high and a crest length of 4,100
feet and a base length of 1,700 feet.
The dam would develop a usable
head of water 440 feet and would
control the Yukon’s discharge at
a uniform 118,000 cubic feet per
second. The amount of water flow
ing at that rate “warrants a power
installation having a total capacity
of 4,760,000 kilowatts.
“This dam, with a concrete vol
ume somewhat less than that of
Grand Coulee (dam), would have
an installed hydroelectric capacity
of 2-!£ times that currently in op
eration at Grand Coulee.”
Moats said that the project is
estimated to cost about $l-Mj-billion
to construct but that the cost and
operation figured against the
power production is two mills a
kilowatt hour at the site, “substan
tially less than any other new
power project in the United
States.” The power transmitted to
tidewater in Alaska “might be ap
proximately three mills.
“LowCost power has always at
tracted industry, even when raw
materials have to be imported. The
Kitimat project in Canada is a
good example; all material for the
manufacture of aluminum is
brought to that source of low-cost

power. The aluminum plants along
the Columbia River are other ex
amples. Three-mill power costs at
tidewater are comparable to the
most favorable new projects any
where in the world.”
Moats said that, “our studies
show that with full authorization
and proper allocation of construc
tion funds, it is physically possible
that Rampart could start producing
a substantial amount of power for
industry by 1971-1972.”
