Water at Lock 17 Could Support Nitrate Plant in Alabama
Major William L. Guthrie of the United States Engineers reports Lock 17 on the Warrior River holds 150 cubic feet per second. With storage, capacity could reach 2,390 cfs and supply power for a nitrate plant, potentially replacing Muscle Shoals. Three plants would remove the need for Muscle Shoals, a $20 million project, and boost Alabama nitrate production at the Warrior river site.
