Mossyrock Dam

Mossyrock Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Cowlitz River near Mossyrock in Lewis County, Washington. The reservoir created by the dam is called Riffe Lake and the primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric production while flood control is secondary.〔(Mossyrock Dam ), NPDP Dam Directory〕 The dam is the tallest in Washington State and its hydroelectric power station supplies 40% of Tacoma Power's electricity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.industcards.com/hydro-usa-wa.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.naes.com/NPC/ProjectPortfolio/Mossyrock%20Turbine%20Generator%20Upgrade.pdf )
==History==
The Mossy Rock Dam was originally planned in the 1940s but opposition from local fishers and Washington State's Game Department delayed construction. During World War II, the city of Tacoma purchased its electricity from the Bonneville Power Administration and Seattle which would cost as much as $1 million a year. To generate its own electricity, Tacoma City Light, now known as Tacoma Power would build several dams including the Mossyrock Dam. Plans for the Mossyrock Dam were announced in 1948 but met stiff opposition. The Washington State Legislature enacted a fish sanctuary on the Cowlitz River that initially blocked the project. The City of Tacoma then went to court and after the case was before the U.S. Supreme Court three times, the dam was approved. Construction began in 1965 and ended in 1968. On October 13, 1968, the dam's power plant generated its first electricity.
