A
Citizens Guide to Fights Small Dams
November
8, 2000
Georgia
River Network has posted on their website a manual to aid citizen groups
who wish to use legal and political means to fight the construction of
small dams in Georgia. The manual is practical for use by citizen groups
in Tennessee as well. By
small dams, we are referring to municipal, water supply and industrial
dams that are permitted under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. This
manual walks you through the process of researching and understanding
a proposed dam, building an opposition strategy, becoming a voice in the
permitting process, and making your voice heard. It does not address strategies
appropriate for fighting agricultural, hydropower or federal dams; the
laws, permits, regulations and strategies governing these dams are different. The
manual can be found at: http://www.garivers.org/dammanual/ |
