Battle over Allegheny River dredging sparks renewed debate
The Warren area reopens the fight over dredging the upper Allegheny River as industry curtails sand and gravel sales. Emlenton Limestone Co. co-owner John Whitehill says demand outstrips supply while environmentalists from Allegheny River Protective Association accuse the move of being a power play. The state hearing board had granted a 1250 foot extension to dredge river beds, a decision criticized as risky to the fishery, with dredgers planning appeals and inland mining efforts proving unsuccessful.
