The main structure and three generators were completed in 1969, with an additional three generators finished in 1981. Generating capacity is 810 megawatts, with an overload capacity of 932 MW. The spillway has eight gates and is 572 feet (176 m) long. Lower Monumental Dam is part of the Columbia River Basin system of dams. Lake Herbert G. West, which extends 28 miles (45 km) east to the base of Little Goose Dam, is formed behind the dam. Lake Sacajawea, formed from Ice Harbor Dam, runs 35 miles (56 km) southwest, downstream from the base of the dam. ;Navigation lock * Single-lift * wide * long ==See also== *List of dams in the Columbia River watershed *Lower Granite Dam *Little Goose Dam *Ice Harbor Dam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lower Monumental Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
