Background
The first season of the program was in 2003. It was used as a test to refine the client’s wants and needs so that they can design a 3-5 year program to follow. Idaho Power Company (IPCO) is hoping to get more snow in the target mountain range area, which when it melts will fill several dams NW of Boise. These dams provide hydroelectric power for IPCO. WMI’s aircraft was used to supplement several ground generators (previously purchased from WMI).
Project Area
The above map shows the location of the Boise airport (ICAO KBOI) in relation to the Target Area. The target area includes those portions of the Middle and South Forks of the Payette River at elevations above 4,500 feet (1371.6 m).
