The Boise Weekly profiles retired US Army Corp Civil Engineer Jim Waddell who had a featured role in the film DamNation.
During his 35-year career with the Army Corps of Engineers as a civil engineer, Jim Waddell spent some of his time studying the four Lower Snake River dams bordering Idaho and Washington in eastern Washington. He concluded the dams are an economic sham and recommended the Corps breach the dams back in 2002.
