Abstract:

In Heppner, Oregon, several alternatives for flood control were considered. A concrete gravity dam constructed using roller compaction methods was selected because of the greatly reduced costs of a spillway integrated with the structure and reduced material quantities inherent in concrete dam design. Construction and seepage control are described.
