Move To Block Blue Ridge Dam Rejected

Washington AP Senate rejected a move to delay or block the $430 million Blue Ridge hydroelectric project on the Low River in Virginia. Senator Sam Ervin sought to amend a $1.28 billion public works bill to pause licensing until an Army Corps study is completed. Opponents argued the amendment aimed to kill the project. backers, including Appalachian Power, push for approval for economic and energy reasons. The reservoir would span 44 miles across southern Virginia and northern North Carolina, potentially displacing many residents and altering a highly scenic area. The project has lingered with the Federal Power Commission for eight years, drawing Virginia support and North Carolina opposition.
