Flood Control Critics Claim Dam Flawed and Power-Driven
The Tulse and Little Rock chambers of commerce accuse the Pensacola dam on Grand river of flood control failures caused by rail, highway, and power priorities. They say storage was reduced from 20 feet to 0-10 feet, worsening floods that devastated Arkansas Valley and cut water to Fort Smith Camp Robinson and the oil pipeline, with broader economic and farming impacts. The piece links similar Osage Valley dam issues, criticizes federal power projects, and notes ongoing concerns about flood reservoirs near Lake of the Ozarks as a remedy.
