Kaiser, Public Goods Provision: Lessons from the Tellico Dam Controversy, 43 Nat. Resources J. 979 (2003). Available at: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nrj/vol43/iss4/4 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at UNM Digital Repository.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. LOUIS P. CAIN & BROOKS A. KAISER* Public Goods Provision: Lessons from the Tellico Dam Controversy ABSTRACT Although absent from the initial Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, evidence of economic considerationsfirst appeared in the 1978 amendments. The only controversial vote concerning the ESA was the one to exempt the Tellico Dam (1978). Although the dam was a local project with little expected net benefit, this article argues that broader economic considerations mattered. Working from public choice models for congressional voting decisions, a limited dependent variable regression analysis indicates the economic variables with the most explanatory power for this environmental decision are college education, poverty, the designation of critical habitat within a district, the number of endangered species in the state, dollars the state received due to earlier ESA funding, and the percentage of the district that is federal land. Comparisons with aggregated environmental votes in the same year highlight the intensity of economic considerations in the Tellico case.

    TVA - Wheeler Tennessee Valley Authority About TVA Newsroom Careers Index Energy Environment Economic Development You are here: Home / Energy / Our Power System / Hydroelectric Share this page Wheeler Wheeler Dam in northern Alabama has 11 generating units with a net dependable capacity of 361 megawatts. The reservoir helps cover the Muscle Shoals, rock formations that had blocked navigation on the Tennessee River, which means the lake level can vary only by a matter of feet from winter to summer. Wheeler Reservoir is named for Joseph Wheeler, a general in the army of the Confederacy, leader of U.S. volunteers in the Spanish-American War and U.S. congressman. Wheeler is one of nine reservoirs that create a stairway of navigable water on the Tennessee River from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Paducah, Kentucky. Wheeler, along with Wilson and Pickwick reservoirs downstream, helps cover the Muscle Shoals. Today, Wheeler Reservoir is a major recreation and tourist center. Along with camping, boating and fishing, visitors enjoy the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge several miles upstream from the dam. The refuge features Alabama’s only significant concentration of wintering Canada geese. Barge traffic on Wheeler has made it one of the major centers along the Tennessee waterway for shoreline industrial development. Private industry has invested about $1.3 billion in the waterfront plants and terminals at Decatur, Alabama, the largest city on the reservoir. Wheeler: Facts + Figures Construction of Wheeler Dam began in 1933 and was completed in 1936. It was the second dam TVA built, finished only seven months after Norris. https://www.tva.gov/Energy/Our-Power-System/Hydroelectric/Wheeler-Reservoir[6/21/2016 7:56:56 AM] TVA - Wheeler Wheeler Dam is 72 feet high and stretches 6,342 feet across the Tennessee River.
