Debated Tocks Island Dam fight pits states and governors
Senate hearings on deauthorizing the dam advance amid divided support. Gravel backs ending the project while Governor Byrne leans against deauthorization, Governor Shapp favors construction. Delaware River Basin states press caution as proponents cite flood control and power, while critics warn of environmental damage and unneeded recreation potential. The death toll from the 2181 flood is misused by supporters, as deaths occurred on tributaries not protected by the dam.
