Damfighters Oppose Russell Dam Project in South Carolina
Ernie Hickman leads local opposition to the Richard B. Russell Dam and Reservoir at Trotters Shoals. He warns costs have ballooned from 79 million in 1965 to 190 million and could reach 250 million, while arguing the power benefits are limited and regional needs have not materialized. The project would flood 25 650 acres and supply power to a seven state area, with some South Carolina power sold out of state.
