Orme Dam sites scrapped near confluence by federal agency
Federal officials said all sites around the Salt and Verde rivers considered for Orme Dam or related structures have been eliminated as possible locations. A lower Colorado bureau spokesman stated no further work will be done on Orme, Hooker, or Charleston Dams, and funding will not support the project. The move comes after a Carter order removing the dams from CAP plans and follows a Salt River Project push for an economic environmental study of alternatives.
