Opponents Challenge APCo Dam Plan on New River
Three groups led by the Izaak Walton League Coalition to Save the New River and the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund filed a friend of the court brief in Washington. They urge that the Blue Ridge project would create two lakes on the New River affecting North Carolina and Virginia. The brief argues the need for electricity is overstated and the FPC erred by not requiring a comparative public development study.
