		During the construction of the lock and dam 24 workers perished, said Nola Conway, a spokeswoman for the Army Corps of Engineers.

	New McNary Dam turbines could boost power, protect fish
		After nearly 50 years of constant use, the turbines at McNary Dam are being studied for total replacement during a 13-year powerhouse overhaul.
		The McNary makeover comes out of a broad-scale analysis by federal agencies on ways to improve hydropower operations at a dam that has substantially less power production capacity than similar federal projects on the lower Columbia River.
		In the 45 years since the last of McNary's 14 turbines was installed, there's been no significant investments to improve the dam's generation efficiency.

	Fish barging program begins at McNary Dam
		McNARY DAM -- Sometime before sunrise this morning, the tug Amy Brusco dumped its precious cargo below Bonneville Dam, releasing a half-million young salmon and steelhead to the Pacific Ocean.
		Nowhere in the river system is the human hand more evident than at McNary's $18-million juvenile fish transportation center, a collection of pipes, catwalks and raceways that route salmon around the powerhouse and into barges.
		Summer flows at McNary Dam may drop to 105,000 cubic feet per second -- less than half of what NMFS calls for in its river operations guide.

		The construction of McNary Dam is another example of what can be accomplished where brains, brawn and materials are properly proportioned and scientifically blended.
		The McNary Dam navigation lock, located on the Washington shore, is 86 feet wide and 670 feet long.
		But, the Corps of Engineers decided, "it is possible that sufficient surplus power from the dams can be sold within the next 50 years to make the improvement economically sound." With the end of the war, advocates urged comprehensive development of the Columbia River for power and navigation.

	96 Pelican Feeding Habits Monitored at McNary Dam, Anna King, Tri-City Herald
		To determine how many fish are being eaten at McNary, the scientists are tagging pelicans with bright markers on their wings and special radio devices glued to their bills.
		Researchers nearby use binoculars to look at the numbered tags to confirm which birds are at the dam, how often and if they've been seen elsewhere in the area.
		The birds, which are listed by the state as endangered, may like McNary Dam because it's close to their breeding colony site near the mouth of the Snake River.

	WDFW NEWS RELEASE: Spring chinook fishing to close in Columbia below McNary Dam, and two Snake River areas
		The action means the entire mainstem Columbia River downstream from McNary Dam is closed to all fishing for spring chinook and steelhead.
		The river from Bonneville Dam to the Interstate 5 bridge closed April 22 and the lower river from the I-5 bridge to the mouth closed May 1.
		To date this season, anglers have made an estimated 5,000 fishing trips in the area between Bonneville to McNary dams, catching 600 chinook and releasing 200 of those fish.

		Our McNary fish way project uses one of two fish ladders on McNary Dam.
		The fish way project uses auxiliary attraction water on the Washington side of the dam and is located in East Central Washington on the Columbia River about 180 miles east of Portland.
		The total cost of the project was 29 million dollars and brings the mortality numbers of the fish caught in the previous turbulent fish attraction system down by 85%.
