the ecosystem throughout the canyon
Everything has an ecosystem. Even deep ocean volcanic vents. We can either build nothing anywhere, or we have to pick and choose.
The Grand Canyon itself is a major tourist attraction and should be left alone but in my opinion the not-quite-as-grand canyon should be higher on the chopping block than yet another chunk of Appalachian hardwood forest. Sand fly and rattlesnake notwithstanding.

A fair number of smaller dams that needed maintenance anyway have been dismantled, a lot of people are probably of the opinion that it's good we didn't go ahead with projects like this one and the Tocks Island Dam, or that some currently-existing big dams like Glen Canyon were maybe bad ideas.
