EPS produced a 12 minute film including this 6 min. section on the history of the dam and its name...an interesting mix of HD video, historical photos, old film and custom animations. The film was edited and original music scored by Made with Salt in NYC.
The dam was built for $145 Million in the 1950s and today produces electricity valued at over $1 Million/day. It is considered the "crown jewel" of hydro dams and is operated and maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers - Seattle District.
