So it looks like deep pockets have a far greater reach than anticipated. The CORPS is yet again requiring we answer another round of questions from USFWS and several other agencies. After concerns about prop wash in Mesquite bay were raised we agreed to go through the gulf, which would increase the costs considerably... It appears they now have concerns about us going through the gulf, something about the boat might have a negative impact?
In the few documents I've read, it again boils down to the private land owner. The agencies are concerned that we'll interrupt their ranching operation. I'm glad to know that our state and federal agencies care so much about the private land owners ranch, it's unfortunate that it's costing all of us an ecosystem, an economy, thousands of acres of VITAL wetlands, the lives of a multitude of species, and a strong case could be made for human lives.
I've seen documents that have made my jaw hit the floor and I'm amazed there hasn't been criminal charges brought against those responsible for this environmental disaster.
I'm going to contact representatives and call for a congressional hearing, those responsible should have to explain why they filled wetlands where endangered species winter, why is Matagorda Island, OUR Island, the grazing ground for a private land owner, and the multitude of other laws that have been broken.
From the sign on the island, it was important...
It had a purpose..
And it still does, a private land owners cattle need room to roam!!
