Fla. environmentalists target Rodman reservoir dam
The Associated Press : February 22, 2012
Summary: Earthjustice filed a 60-day Notice of Intent to Sue the U.S. Forest Service today to protect imperiled manatees and shortnose sturgeon, two species which are blocked from migrating in the Ocklawaha River by a dam operated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that turns a 16-mile stretch of the river into the unnatural Rodman Impoundment.
Earthjustice lawyer David Guest said at a news conference, "The dam is harmful to the river and the species that live in it ... This has been a sore on the conscience of every Florida environmentalist."
