The bill would require new wind turbines to be set back at least 1.5 times the tower's height from non-participating property lines or a half nautical mile from a dwelling.

The dam was completed in 1918 (around 10,000 people attended its dedication ceremony), then rebuilt in 1923 after damage from repeated flooding.

But state and federal dam regulations have changed, and the dam no longer meets the requirements. It has nearly two dozen gates, but only one engine to lift them.
