Eagle-eye tour shows impact of Orme Dam on Apache Mohave lands
A dozen residents from the Apache Mohave reservation rode in a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation helicopter to view the areas to be flooded by the proposed Orme Dam part of the Central Arizona Project. Officials offered 2,500 acres of nearby land plus up to 30 million dollars in compensation for 15,000 acres flooded and five thousand five hundred acres permanently submerged.
