The Sartell Dam is a dam across the Mississippi River in Sartell Minnesota in the United States. The dam generates hydroelectric power for the adjoining Sartell Paper Mill. The dam is referred to as the Champion Dam in official documentation.[citation needed]Construction of the structure was begun by the Watab Pulp and Paper Company in 1907 and finished in 1911. Seven workers died during construction most from drowning as a result of washouts on the site’s cofferdam.
