ThisDayInHistory of Reclamation… Do you like the snow? Can you imagine working in a place where you needed snow shoes and a snow mobile to do your daily duties while at work? For former Deadwood Dam and Reservoir Superintendent, Bill Houck, this was his winter work equipment while working for Reclamation. Deadwood averages 4-5 feet of snow in the winter.
