Environmental injunction halts Tellico Dam work in Tennessee
U S District Judge Robert L Taylor ordered a temporary injunction delaying construction on the Tellico Dam project on the Little Tennessee River. The ruling requires TVA to prepare a full environmental impact statement, citing the National Environmental Policy Act. The injunction covers the dam site work only, not roads or surveys, and could delay final hearings into March with a potential two week review of the environmental statement. Governor Dunn voiced opposition, noting economic alternatives to the project.
