Western Area Power Administration (Western) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation require a permanent solution to the inherent hazards of large blocks of ice forming on the Yellowtail Dam on the Bighorn River. In recent years, ice blocks have formed on the dam face and are falling on to the existing configuration of the Yellowtail 115 kilovolt (kV), 230-kV tie lines, and electrical equipment at the Power Plant, causing irreparable damage.
