Vermont Board Rejects Victory Dam Plan To Protect Ecology
The Vermont Water Resources Board rejected a 5.3 million flood control dam on Moose River at Victory. It urged Congress to back the Connecticut Valley plan for a single purpose dry dam to preserve regional ecology. The panel cited 24 supporting points from a January hearing, opposing recreation-focused benefits. It noted wetlands’ ecological value and endorsed keeping the area natural, as controversy widens among agencies and residents. The state seeks options to prevent construction with Gov Davis and lawmakers pushing opposition.

Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel tightens California offshore drilling rules and creates a 55,000 acre off limits zone opposite Santa Barbara after the January oil spill. The plan requires better blowout safeguards, suspends operations in the area, and may extend beyond California if proven safe. The Union Oil platform may be decommissioned pending safety data.
