[Vision2020] Protect Water Quality

[Larry Mclaud]

Petition to Protect Water Quality on the Nez Perce National Forest


Current water quality standards on the Nez Perce National Forest 
protect water for salmon, bull trout and other aquatic species. 
Recently the Forest Service has proposed to lower these standards to 
allow more logging. Logging is not necessary for a healthy forest or 
protecting homes from fires as the FS suggests.  In fact more logging 
of this intensively logged landscape will likely increase the fire 
danger and decrease the wildlife habitat.

Over the past 100 years logging, grazing and mining impacts have 
continually degraded the South Fork of the Clearwater River.  It is 
time to heal and restore the area not weaken the water quality 
standards that have been in place for over 15 years.

You have a chance to tell the Forest Service the water quality 
standards in place to protect wildlife on public lands are important!
