E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Station

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric station on the Saskatchewan River owned by SaskPower, located near Carrot River, Saskatchewan, Canada. The dam created the artificial Tobin Lake. The station is named after Bruce Campbell, a former president of SaskPower who was also the assistant chief engineer during the construction of the station. Until 1988, it was named Squaw Rapids Dam. The dam altered water levels in the Saskatchewan River, which made the area uninhabitable for a lot of animals. The impact on fishers and trappers was acknowledged in 1989 with a payment of 15 million dollars. The environmental impact of the dam and power station continues however.
