dam-l Decommissioning dam
{Edwards Dam. On Nov. 25, 1997, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) voted 2-1 to deny a license renewal application
for Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River, ME, and required the dam be
removed at the operator's expense. This is the first time FERC has
directed the removal of a dam when relicensing was requested. The
dam owners were given one year in which to file a plan for dam
removal. Edwards Manufacturing Co., the dam owners, indicated they
would appeal the FERC ruling, and sue for reimbursement of dam
removal costs.} [Dow Jones News]
