| Title | Early Eastside Excavation |
| Description | This view taken in the spring of 1935 shows how the early excavation on the east side was conducted with power shovels and trucks; the material being dumped in the forebay area upstream from the dam. Later conveyor systems running to this spoil bank, and one crossing the river to dump in Rattlesnake Canyon were installed. Here at the dam site the river was about 700 feet wide at low water time, and 850 feet wide at high water, rising from 40 to 60 feet at flood time. East side excavation was begun by Rowland Construction Co. until November 19, 1934 when excavation was discontinued till February 21, 1935. |
