"The Number One problem is environmental issues such as erosion, not only on our property, but also adjacent lands. Siltation into the river is also a major concern. We are also receiving pressure from TDEC to eliminate the above environmental issues."

I believe I'm going to have to burn down the TDEC if it closes AFTER we get 5,000 signatures. That, or fire the governor.

I dont see what the big deal is with errosion if its in BFE. Be different if it was washing foundations out from buildings. So what if theres silt or whatever in the river. We pump sewage in it everyday so whats worse a little mud or someones bloody tampons? Before long you'll need a permit to cut your own grass :****:

If you ask me it puts money in the economy from the time a person leaves there house til the time they get there. Gas, food, hotels, etc. Ive never been there and dont know if ill ever make a trip there but fully support the petition goin around.

They use erosion as an excuse but they plan on dozing the mountain and building roads and parking lots. Guess those won't cause any erosion huh.
