Primary Point of Contact: Contracting Office Address: Melanie A. Barrett U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Contract Specialist USACE District, Portland Melanie.A.Barrett@usace.army.mil PO Box 2946 Phone: (503) 808-4617 Portland, OR 97208-2946 U.S. Place of Contract Performance: Gates, OR 97346 Big Cliff Dam is at river mile 58.1 on the North Santiam River, about 45 miles southeast of Salem, Ore. It is a concrete dam with gated spillways and was completed along with Detroit Dam in 1953 at a cost of $62.7 million. Big Cliff Dam has since helped prevent more than $615 million in potential damage from floods by controlling runoff from about 438 square miles of drainage area. Because the North Santiam canyon is rocky, narrow, and steep where Big Cliff Dam was constructed, it is a concrete dam, rather than an earth and rockfill embankment structure, like other Corps dams in the Willamette Valley Project.
