Interior will honor the memory of former Reclamation Commissioner John W. Keys III at a key feature of Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state. At Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne’s direction, the department is renaming the 312-megawatt-power and water-pumping plant at the dam the "John W. Keys, III Pump-Generating Plant." Keys died on May 30, 2008, at age 66 in the crash of a small plane he was piloting in Canyonlands National Park.
"John Keys was a dedicated and honorable Interior Department employee who, in his 34 years of public service, left the West and the Nation an enduring legacy, Kempthorne said.
