| The Theodore Roosevelt Dam |
|
|
| This dam is located on the Salt River, about 76 miles northeast of Phoenix, Arizonamaybe (inside joke: did you see the movie "Star Man"?). This was one of the Bureau's first projects, stared in 1903 and completed in 1911. The original dam was 280 feet high and 723 feet long, and these pictures were taken before major renovation was completed in 1996. The specs today are 357 feet high and 1,210 feet long. See the whole story here. The power plant is good for 36 Megawatts at 2,400 cfs flow.e |
