Fourteen Dams Planned in Pipe Creek Watershed Area
William Boothe, Carroll County soil conservation technician, told about 300 farmers at the Unity Agricultural Center in Westminster that a 14 dam network in the Big Pipe and Little Pipe watershed could supply irrigation, recreation and industrial uses. The Slate Soil Conservation Service would pay all construction costs, with an estimated $150,000 per dam, and would not buy land. The Pipe Creek area covers about 122,800 of Carroll County's 289,000 acres, and action is urged before the area grows more populated.
