Dam Would Flood 1100 Acres Near Winchester
The U S Corps of Engineers proposes an $11 million earth dam about six miles northeast of Winchester to flood 1100 acres across Frederick and Clarke counties as part of the Potomac River Basin plan. The project would require 3800 acres, affect 15 farms and 15 homes, relocate about 35 families, and threaten Holy Trinity Seminary and Burnt Factory Methodist Church. The reservoir would be 4.3 miles long and 0.6 mile wide, with waters rising upstream toward routes 7 and 50.
