Location-Kendrick project is located along the North Platte River princspally in Natrona and Carbon Counties, Wyo.

Operation. All of the features are operated by Bureau of Reclamation with appropriated funds.

Description —The four major construction features comprising the project are: (1) Seminoe Dam and powerplant located approximately 55 miles southwest of Casper, Wyo.; (2) Alcova Dam and powerplant located at Alcova, Wyo. (3) Casper Canal and lateral system which will carry water for irrigating lands lying in a semicircular area southwest, west, and north of Casper, Wya and (4) transmission lines and substations to distribute power generated at Seminoe Dam and Alcova powerplant to central and southern Wyoming, wester Nebraska, and northern Colorado.

The Seminoe powerplant has three 10,800-kilowatt generating units which have been in operation since August 1939.

The Alcova powerplant has an installed nameplate rating of 36,000 kilowatts, consisting of two 18,000-kilowatt units which started operation in July 1955.

Location.-The Riverton project is located in Fremont County, Wyo., on the ceded portion of the Wind River Indian Reservation. It lies near the center of the Wind River Basin, north and northwest of Riverton.

Operation.-Irrigation facilities of the first and second divisions are operated by the Midvale Irrigation District. The Midvale Irrigation District also operates and maintains the joint works, including Bull Lake and Pilot Butte Reservoir, diversion dam, and the Wyoming Canal (first and second divisions).

The United States operates the third division power facilities including the Pilot Butte powerplant, the Wyoming Canal, and the distribution and drainage system of the third division, with appropriated funds.

Description. The primary purpose of the project is to provide ultimately a full water supply for the irrigation of 64.950 acres of semiarid new lands. The project derives its water supply from Wind River and tributaries, having Bull Lake Reservoir as its principal storage and Pilot Butte Reservoir as supplemental storage. Water from the natural flow in Wind River and supplemental storage from Bull Lake is diverted at the Wind River diversion dam.

Power facilities of the Riverton project include Pilot Butte powerplant with two 800-kilowatt units, 76 miles of 34.5-kilovolt transmission line, 3 substations, and several metering stations. All transmission facilities are leased to Missouri River Basin, transmission division, with operation and maintenance costs programed thereunder.
