<br /> <br />CONSERVATIONI. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />SAY: <br /> <br />1. The proposed McPhee Dam is unnecessary. It would benefit only a very <br />small number of large landowners, pOliticians, and bureaucrats; No'r the <br />majority of Americans. <br /> <br />2. The dam is economically unjustifiable. The Bureau's benefit-cost ratio <br />is misleading. It is based on 1962 prices, and the ability to borrow money <br />at J~ interest! Usin~ realistic fi~ures, the costs are far greater than <br />the benefits. <br /> <br />J. Over 347 million of taxpayers' money would be wasted on its construction. <br /> <br />4. A project so marginal is hardly worth destroyinv. a unique desert river <br />canyon which meets the requirements for wild river designation. <br /> <br />5. 'rhe resource as a recreational river has not been afforded economic <br />consideration. when ereater numbers of people are running rivers. ann the <br />number of rivers available to run is rapidly decreasing. <br /> <br />6. The project should be totally re-analized. We must demand an environmental <br />impact statement before any further planning. <br /> <br />HELP PROTECT THE DOLORES under the WILD RIVER BILL <br /> <br />The 115~mile stretch of the Dolores River. between the towns of <br />Dolores and Bedrock. meets the requirements for protection under the <br />National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
