Chief Joseph Dam

The Chief Joseph Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Columbia River, upriver from Bridgeport, Washington. The dam is upriver from the mouth of the Columbia at Astoria, Oregon. It is operated by the USACE Chief Joseph Dam Project Office, and the electricity is marketed by the Bonneville Power Administration.
==History==
The dam was authorized as Foster Creek Dam and Powerhouse for power generation and irrigation by the ''River and Harbor Act of 1946''. The ''River and Harbor Act of 1948'' renamed the project Chief Joseph Dam in honor of the Nez Perce chief who spent his last years in exile on the Colville Indian Reservation.

Eleven additional turbines were installed between 1973 and 1979, and the dam and lake were raised , boosting the capacity to , making Chief Joseph Dam the second largest hydroelectric power producer in the United States.〔(Chief Joseph Dam ), US Army Corps of Engineers〕
