It is proposed to construct a dam, including: An 84 x 400-foot navigation lock; a 100 megawatt power facility; a spillway; and, a 12,209 acre reservoir. The purposes of the project are navigation, hydroelectric power, and recreation. Environmental impacts include conversion of a 72-mile stretch of free-flowing stream to a lake; loss of wildlife habitat; increase in waterfowl and warm-water fishery; relocations of people, utilities, roads, and cemeteries; introduction of new industrial potential; provides hydropower, navigation, and outdoor recreation; cause temporary adverse effects related to air and water quality; and will attract attention to several historical points of interest.
