It is one of a series of dams built by the Army Corps of Engineers on the Savannah River for flood control, hydro-electric power, and to ensure a minimum river flow at the Savannah River Site of the Department of Energy. Inside the powerhouse are seven turbine/generator assemblies, each capable of producing 44 Megawatts.
