Brantley Dam Project Backed by Senate Debate
Interior Department told a Senate hearing it cannot back the Brantley dam for New Mexico until more is known about alternatives and costs. Sen. Anderson urged quick passage of a bill with Sen. Montoya to replace the McMillan dam on the Pecos River, citing flood risks and costs estimated at 45 to 50 million dollars. Texas conditions tied to Pecos River compact and water allotment were presented, while officials warned that repairing or replacing McMillan must avoid catastrophic flood losses.
