Rodman Dam

The proposal would allow the Ocklawaha to breach a dam currently limiting the river's flow of water into the St. Johns River.

As major dams are taken down in other parts of the country, Florida holds tight to its dams and reservoirs, some aging and putting nearby residents and homes at risk.

A legacy of the hasty construction of the dam and reservoir in the 1960s is that it left many trees in the reservoir's boundary.
