ARA and SELC submit comments for the R.L. Harris Dam relicensing on the Tallapoosa River

Published 2/21/2025  |  Alabama Rivers Alliance

On February 19, Alabama Rivers Alliance, along with Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), filed our comments on the draft environmental impact statement for the Harris Dam relicensing on the Tallapoosa River advocating for improved flows, water quality enhancements, adaptive management, and improved recreation access. We also worked with landowners and community leaders to make their voices heard by FERC. We expect a Final EIS later this year, which will form the basis for the final FERC license. Stay tuned!
