Watershed Plan Proposes Upstream Dams Up to 2250 Acres Flooded
After a six year study the Army Corps of Engineers recommends building dams upstream on the Potomac Shenandoah and tributaries to guarantee future water supply for the Washington area. Four plan options flood tens of thousands of acres with 41000 acres in 12 reservoirs plus 73000 more for recreation. Opequon Creek dam would flood 1100 to 2250 acres and force Winchester to pipe treated water around the reservoir. Relocation of homes and farmland would be needed in several areas including Loudoun County and Brock's Gap.
