Millwood Dam Battle Advances After Engineer Board Opinion
The Army Engineer Board recommended a three-quarter size Millwood Dam as part of a multi dam plan on Little River near Saratoga. Downstream interests celebrate a victory while upstream advocates warn the project still faces a long congressional and federal agency fight. The plan ties Millwood to an upstream dam with water storage conditions pending. Congress could place Millwood on an early construction list this year, per Rep. Harris, though Rep. Albert cautions the project remains unsatisfactory and far from settled.
