Proposed Dam Would Flood Salt Creek Valley Farms
U S Army Engineer plan to dam Salt Creek near the Ross Vinton County line would flood hundreds of acres of prime bottom farming land in Eagle Two of Vinton County. The dam could back up water to Route 46 in Hocking County and create a large lake. Salt Creek joins the Scioto River near Richmondale, and any dam would be high, possibly forty feet, affecting familiar local farms including those of Lloyd Clary Dan Diehl the Brown brothers Cliff Ratcliff and James McWhorter.
