Holum urges halt to private build along Seneca Dam site
Kenneth Holum assistant secretary for water and power development in the Interior Department proposes blocking further private development across about 44 000 acres near the Seneca site on the Potomac River to preserve beauty and public use potential. He says the plan is not a dam proposal but a precaution to keep options open as private acquisitions surge and costs rise. A 44 000 acre recreation area from Great Falls to Cumberland could emerge if no dam is built, potentially forming a Potomac Valley Park while the dam controversy continues.
