Recreation facility construction is a federal requirement included in our new license to operate C.J. Strike Power Plant. Idaho Power received its new license in August 2004. Construction will start in the first quarter of 2008 and continue through the first quarter of 2009.

We will strive to keep as much of each facility open as possible, however, some closures will be necessary to complete construction and for safety.

In relation to specific recreation site improvements, Idaho Power is also required to do the following:

• Promote public safety and increase awareness of recreational opportunities using a series of interpretive, informative and educational kiosks and panels at its developed recreational sites
• Provide safe and reasonable access to recreational areas for all visitors
• Reduce the incompatibilities between recreational use and recreational resources
• Provide future developments to help meet the increasing demand for land- and water-based recreation

Idaho Power is also working on the following within the C.J. Strike area:

• White Sturgeon Monitoring
• Rainbow Trout stocking
• Wildlife Habitat Enhancements and Noxious Weed Control
• Archaeological Site Protection and Monitoring
• Recreation Use Monitoring
