"I'll probably get fired for what I'm about to tell you, but these dams are a travesty"

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.

Once more into the breach debate

Once a company man, Jim Waddell now finds himself challenging the agency he spent a career serving.

In so doing, he has established himself as a threat to those defending the four lower Snake River dams and a champion of breachers, who have adopted a new strategy that questions whether the massive costs associated with operating and maintaining the dams is money well spent.
