A group of bipartisan lawmakers from Pennsylvania have urged the Corps of Engineers to maintain and even increase levels of service to locks and dams along the Allegheny River. While lockage and usage levels may have taken a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, they said, there is no reason to reduce service hours further, or to conclude that demand won't return if they are properly staffed. The November 17 letter to Lt. Gen. Scott A. Spellmon, commanding general of the Corps of Engineers, was signed by eight members of Congress, including Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman and Reps. Guy Reschen-thaler, Glen "GT" Thompson, Chris Deluzio, Summer Lee, John Joyce and Mike Kelly. |
