Tieton Dam is an earth and concrete type dam on the Tieton River in Yakima County, in the U.S. state of Washington. The dam began operation in 1925. Its reservoir, Rimrock Lake, has a total capacity of 203,600 acre-feet (0.2511 km3) with a normal operating capacity of 198,000 acre-feet (0.244 km3) to provides water for agricultural irrigation.[1] This dam is a component of the Yakima Project.[2] Tieton Dam also produces electricity for Burbank Water and Power and Glendale Water and Power, near Los Angeles. The Southern California Public Power Agency installed two 7 megawatt generators in a project started in 2010. The power is transmitted over the DC Intertie that runs from Celilo, Oregon to Sylmar, California.[3][2] Upstream from the dam, the river is impounded by Clear Creek Dam, another element of the Yakima Project. About 8 miles (13 km) downstream from the dam, the Tieton River is tapped for the Tieton Main Canal.

Der Tieton Dam ist ein aus Erde und Beton gebauter Staudamm am Tieton River im Yakima County im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Der Damm wurde 1925 in Betrieb genommen. Der von ihm aufgestaute See, der Rimrock Lake, hat einen Speicherraum von 244 Mio. Kubikmetern bei einem Gesamtstauraum von 251 Mio. Kubikmetern. Er stellt Wasser für die Bewässerung in der Landwirtschaft zur Verfügung.[1] Der Tieton Dam ist Teil des Yakima Project.[2] Flussaufwärts wird der Tieton River vom Clear Creek Dam gestaut, einem weiteren Element des Yakima Project. Etwa 8 mi (13 km) flussabwärts vom Damm wird der Fluss in den Tieton Main Canal geleitet.- [en] Tieton Dam
