Doon dam talk focuses on reservoirs and fears
At a Doon meeting the Army Corps of Engineers said hydro power would be feasible only if locals want it. Speakers including Charles Lacey and Jerry Schlacht warned about corporate control and farm displacements while detailing estimated costs, reservoir sizes on Rock and Little Rock rivers, and potential regional benefits. Over 300 attendees heard that dam projects would need broad local consent before progress.
