Foster Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
Foster Dam is an embankment type rock-fill dam across the South Santiam River near Sweet Home, Oregon, United States. Designed by the Corps of Engineers, it began service on August 22, 1968. Its primary purpose is flood control but it also provides power, navigation improvement downstream and irrigation. The damming of the river created Foster Reservoir, which is a popular fishing and water sports area. The reservoir stores 28,300 acre-feet (34, 900, 000 m3). The powerhouse has two generators with a capacity totaling 20 MW. The dam regulates water flow from the main facility, Green Peter Dam.
