Grand Coulee Dam
The three powerhouses at Grand Coulee Dam makes it the largest power producer in the United States. The dam creates the 150 mile (240km) long Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake or the Roosevelt Lake as it's known, crosses the border into Canada. In 1961 the Columbia River Treaty was formed but not implemented until three years later because of difficulties in creating arrangements for funding the construction of the dams on the Canadian side. This included marketing the electrical power owed to Canada, which was surplus to Canadian needs during the early treaty years. A Treaty Protocol and a Canada-British Columbia agreement were signed in January that limited and clarified many treaty provisions, defined rights and obligations between the British Columbia and Canadian governments, and allowed for the sale of the Canadian Entitlement to downstream U.S. power authorities. Instruments of ratification were exchanged, and the treaty was implemented on 16 September 1964.
