OSTI ID:5629201
A summary of the draft environmental impact statement on the Coffeeville Dam in Alabama describes the purpose of the construction in terms of a raised-pool design that will allow power generation to fluctuate with demand. The area will benefit from low-cost power, a reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and enhanced recreational fishing. Negative impacts will be the loss of 541 acres of hardwood forest, most of which is in a wildlife refuge, and land used for transmission lines, roads, and diking. There will also be a loss of small fish and fish eggs. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the River and Harbor Act of 1899 provide the legal mandates for the environmental assessment.
