Malfunctioning Gate

Gulls in search of easy eating circle the turbulent water below Little Goose Dam on the Snake River as water runs over the spillway during a spring runoff. STARBUCK, WA -- The navigation lock on the Little Goose Dam is currently closed to water traffic. The Snake River dam near Starbuck is malfunctioning on the downstream gate. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers technicians are investigating the problem to determine a plan for repairs. They don't have an estimated time of repair and reopening yet.
