First Phase of Lower Teton Division, Teton Basin Project, Idaho, April 1971
The project involves the construction of the Teton Dam on the Teton River. This earthfill dam will be 300 feet in height above streambed, with a crest length of 3,000 feet. The 17-mile-long Teton Reservoir will have a total capacity of 300,000 acre-feet. A combined power and pumping plant will be constructed consisting of two 10,000 kilowatt units with space for installation of a third 10,000 kilowatt unit when needed. Teton Dam and Reservoir will eliminate summer and winter range utilized by big-game animals. Mitigation measures are planned to avoid the crowding of big-game animals on the remaining habitat upstream, particularly during the winter season. The construction of Teton Dam and impoundment of the water will create an important recreation area. The resources that will be involved in the construction of the project facilities will constitute an irreversible commitment. Also, alteration of the aesthetics of the canyon and possible impariment of the fish and wildlife resources are irreversible. The commitment of the water for irrigation with secondary power producing benefits would not be irreversible or irretrievable if higher uses should arise at some future time. (Author)
