Lt. Gen. Robert Van Antwerp, the chief of engineers and commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, poses outside the powerhouse of the Wolf Creek Dam in Jamestown, Ky. The Wolf Creek Dam is a multi-purpose dam on the Cumberland River in the western part of Russell, County, Ky. The dam serves at once four purposes; it generates hydoelectricity; it regulates and limits flooding; it releases stored water to permit year-round navigation on the lower Cumberland River; and it creates Lake Cumberland for recreation, which has become a popular tourist attraction. Because of seepage problems in the dam's foundation, it has become one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's top dam priorites.
