Joint Operation
The dam and its related hydroelectric project are located inside the boundaries of the Flathead Indian Reservation, and operated jointly by PPL Montana, LLC (the successor to the Montana Power Company) and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Today it provides both power for PPL—enough for about 147,000 homes—and over $ 9 million in annual revenue for the tribes. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have the option of purchasing and taking over the dam in 2015.

Famous quotes containing the words joint and/or operation:
“I conjure thee, and all the oaths which I
And thou have sworn to seal joint constancy,
Here I unswear, and overswear them thus,
Thou shalt not love by ways so dangerous.
Temper, O fair Love, love’s impetuous rage,
Be my true Mistress still, not my feign’d Page;
I’ll go, and, by thy kind leave, leave behind
Thee, only worthy to nurse in my mind
Thirst to come back;”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
