Tocks Island - Good Bye Forever - Way of Life Destroyed
Amateur video taken by Sidney C. Marshall, showing destruction of homes in the Tocks Island project area by Crater Lake, 1977. Marshall was one of the residents who lost their homes there as a result of the land acquisitions by the Army Corps of Engineers to make way for the Tocks Island Dam, which was never built, and then taken over by the National Park Service to operate today's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The entire project, which was authorized by Congress in 1962, was subject to major controversy. Marshall was one of the projects' most ardent opponents. Allegations by Marshall are his, and reflect widespread animosity by impacted residents at the time.

This kind of creepy, crooked scam is happening again, right now, to the formerly-lovely Watergate Park next to Old Mine Road.
It was actually the army corps of engineers that did this under directions from the federal govt. sometimes, leaving people alone might be a good idea.
