Scott, i am appalled anyone would make light of such a serious situation with their friends.

The Crack O' nooners are heading out to look @ L. Mill, White Rock Cr. Lock up the

sorry larry, i have already agreed to set safety at the beer tent for the winner of the Mulberry Mtn ticket auction.

where do i send the ACA waivers?

Dave, i would think the 16' one might be a little long for solo, just as a 16' hard canoe is a little harder to manuever than a 14'. i loaded a 14' with enough stuff to self support on the MF and it did just fine. i haven't paddled a 16' solo, just the 14'. it might handle the same. a large dry bag,...

thanks Don & Steve

anyone else going?

ty, depending on your requirements for people/gear, the inflatable canoes are big fun. a 14' can be used solo or tandem and haul some gear. I haven't overnighted tandem with it, but solo is no problem.

Kim (and anyone else)- i am ignorant of any State or Federal rules that state how a site should be restored after work is done. The BMP article mentions that re-seeding, mulch, straw bales and gravel in creek/road crossings are used for erosion control. That is what i have seen in the NF. i don't th...

kim, sounds like the company at least tried to stabilize the slope with the mulch. flat ground is generally little problem in re-claiming while steep ground is almost impossible
what will the ADEQ do if and when they show up? not asking you only..

There are no different BMP's for O&G activity that i am aware of other than ADEQ rules on reserve pit management which doesn't apply to timber harvest. Kin, your point on timber slash being harmful to fire suppression seems obvious and has been a point of contention to me when told logging is be...

thanks Butch for posting the BMP's for NF logging activity. Is everyone happy with these criteria for resource extraction?

i was really asking about specific on-the-ground management techniques that should be used to minimize damage from resource extraction activities.

the reason i asked is because i regularly see the impacts of both o&g activites and timber extraction and find the comparisons interesting.

just read on another thread that some Wildlife Management Areas have been leased for o&g drilling. samething is happening on Nat. Forest land and may be rapidly increasing if the F. Shale is productive on these lands. Of course timber harvest has been occuring for years. Given that these activit...

iyak- how do i contact you?

bump?
