Budget Cuts Spare Two French Creek Dams in 1968 Plan
Two of three proposed French Creek flood control dams survive 1968 U S Army Corps of Engineers cuts. President Johnson requests 2 5 million for the Union City dam and 1 2 million for Woodcock Creek, with Muddy Creek dropped. The Union City project would be a seasonal dry dam, drawing protest from farmers and offering potential recreation if a permanent pool is feasible. Congressman Vigorito notes ongoing re study by the Corps. The situation remains unresolved and could lead to a start date yet to be announced.
