Contact: Energy and Minerals Div.
Eidget Function: Natural Resources, EnvironL~ent, and k&.ergy:
    Water Resources and Power (301).
Organization Concerned: Department o2 the Army: Corps of
    F ngineers.
Authority:   (P.L. 94-o400; 90 Stat. 1211).

         The financial statements of the Federal Columbia River
Power System were examined in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. The financial statements were prepared on a
cost-accounting basis which included depreciation. Financial
results are not presented on a basis designed to show whether
power rates are adequate to repay the Federal investment in the
system. Findings/Conclusions: A break occurred in the Teton Dam
in 1976, causing extensive damage to the project and from the
resulting flood. Congress has enacted legislation to pay the
costs of claims of non-Federal entities and individuals, and the
system will not be required to pay such claims. No decision has
been made regarding the future of the Teton Dam project; until
that decision is Lade, the $13.1 million project investment
allocated to power is shown as a deferred charge, and the $40.1
million irrigation investment repayable from power revenues is
included in repayable irrigation costs. (RRS)
