Environmental suit seeks halt to new Mellones Dam near Sonora
The Environmental Defense Fund filed suit in San Francisco to stop the 180 million Mellones Dam project on the Stanislaus River, naming the U S Army Corps of Engineers and interior and Army secretaries. It warns of flooding 15 miles of river and erasing a wilderness recreation area as Californians seek raft and kayak adventures along the Stanislaus.
