Dam proposal sparks debate in Shenandoah Valley
Front Royal town manager Walter Duncan proposes rebuilding Riverton Dam as a hydroelectric plant to supply about one third of the town’s power. A 25 foot rise could create a 1000 acre lake, with $14 million cost and potential $500,000 annual savings, plus recreation and water supplies for nearby cities. Environmental and land losses are weighed against benefits, with local and state bodies to review plans and a $10,000 feasibility study funded.
