A dam has been proposed for a stream within the watershed of Daddy’s Creek ,TN within the Obed/Emory River System, just outside the National Wild and Scenic River boundary. The importance of this issue transcends the project itself; interpretation of the Obed’s hard-fought-for ONRW (Outstanding National Resource Water, or Tier-3) designation is at stake here, as are a number of other basic issues. Your involvement is going to be very important, so we hope you will take action.
Letters and email are urgently needed before the public hearing on January 11, 2001.
