Roads as a closure tool...

Today we are one step closer to clear water! EPA must solve another murky water problem by May 2016: runoff from forest roads. Seemingly harmless dirt roads that spread out like spiderwebs across our landscapes dump tons of sediment into waterways with every rainstorm. This sediment settles into riverbeds and suffocates salmon eggs, reducing fishing opportunities. And it flows into rural and urban drinking water systems clogging filters, unnecessarily piling on extra costs to water suppliers and ratepayers. EPA has now agreed to deadlines to finally address this problem: http://www.wildearthguardians.org/site/News2…

Them darn forest roads must be why we are having the third largest Columbia fall Chinook salmon run on record, and not the first or second largest.

Yeah, ain't awful I found where the Supreme Court ruled against this a couple of years ago, and also another recently filed lawsuit. Sure can't find where the Court reversed itself though. Strange...
