One about three miles north of Bluff City would create a 200 foot high dam, flooding hundreds of acres, while another near Riddle Creek would be 100 feet high and flood areas twelve miles upriver. The project uses aerial photos to locate suitable sites and aims to finish by mid July with teams from Chattanooga.
