Willow Creek, Oregon
|
|
Willow Creek Lake is a flood control dam designed to protect the city of Heppner, Oregon. The dam also provides valuable water storage for irrigation for the area. When a flash flood occurs, the flood waters will be caught and stored, and slowly released until the lake returns to its maintained elevation of 2063 feet. This project is of special interest to engineers and builders. The dam features roller compacted concrete construction.
