No. 27
(House Joint Resolution 25)

House Joint Resolution urging the U. S. Senators and Congressmen
from Maryland to use their good offices and concerted effort so
that no high dam will ever be built at Seneca.

Whereas, The Corps of Engineers recommended plan for the
development of the Potomac River basin proposes the construction
of a high dam on the main stem of the Potomac at Seneca which
would inundate an area of 58,100 acres of high value residential and
agricultural land creating adverse effects because of families dis-
placed, immediate tax losses to both Montgomery County and the
State of Maryland and the preclusion of the reconstruction and
development of the historic C&O Canal in the flooded area; and,

Whereas, The Maryland Water Resources Commission is inclined
to support a plan that would afford the greatest amount of benefits
with the least number of sacrifices with emphasis on complete sewage
and waste treatment facilities for quality water control; and,

Whereas, The Department of Forests and Parks in Maryland re-
ports that the Seneca Dam project would have a definite effect on
Seneca Creek State Park leaving much of this area as mud-flat during
the summer months; and,

Whereas, The Maryland Game and Inland Fish Commission recom-
mends that the impoundment at Seneca be eliminated from the plan
due to the high loss of wildlife on approximately 20,000 acres; and,

Whereas, The Maryland Department of Geological Survey, Johns
Hopkins University, agrees with the recommendation of the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors "that prior to the construction
stage for the Seneca project detailed analysis be made of the complex
water quality and tidal phenomena of the Potomac estuary, to deter-
mine whether the project is the best overall means of fulfilling all of
the water resources needs ....."; and,
