Enhanced Security Measures at Three Dams in Idaho |
 |
The Bureau of Reclamation will implement improved security measures at three Idaho dams. The three structures include:
- Lower Embankment of the Deer Flat Dams, an off-storage facility that impounds Lake Lowell near Nampa, Idaho.
- Anderson Ranch Dam, on the south fork of the Boise River, about 28 miles northeast of Mountain Home, Idaho.
- Palisades Dam, on the south fork of the Snake River, about 55 miles southeast of Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Reclamation's long-term goal is to implement necessary corrective actions for security and safety, with minimal inconvenience to the affected public. |
