Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Captain Anthony Meldahl Locks and Dam is a non-navigable river control dam with an associated lock, located at mile marker 436 on the Ohio River. It was named for Captain Anthony Meldahl, a river captain.
The dam has a top length of 1,756 feet (535 m) with a 372-foot (113 m) fixed weir and a 310-foot (94 m) open crest. At normal pool elevation the length is 95 miles (153 km) upstream encompassing an area of 21,700 acres (88 km²). The facility is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
A joint venture between Baker Concrete and Alberici Constructors built a three turbine hydroelectric plant and spillway addition to the Meldahl Locks and Dam. The facility became fully operational in 2016.
