Fence it off and let the weeds grow. I don’t care.

BTW, I know of at least three more suits that are poised to be filed as soon as the courts are open again. Plus two additional environmental complaints for lack of siltation mitigation in the Rock Creek environmental area.

Hope you’re not holding your breath waiting to take that first ride. Because it’s not going to happen any time soon. [/quote]

Oh, did you find some amphipods?[/quote]

In fact we did. As well as spotted salamanders, and American Shad and Blueback Herring.

Four seriously threatened species that were previously thought to be absent from the area, but were discovered present when our neighborhood association hired a private environmental survey company to find evidence of endangered or threatened species.

When the courts reopen in June, the construction will be stopping here. And another EIS will have to be undertaken (next spring, because 3 of the species are seasonal or migratory) and a new plan for habitat preservation will have to be designed. That will take a couple more years.

I’ve never loved salamanders and fish more than I do right now! [/quote]

How exciting that a private environmental survey company hired by your neighborhood association was able to find four (!) threatened/endangered species, when everyone else, looking for years, was not able to find any!

Please remind me, though: when did spotted salamanders get listed as threatened or endangered?[/quote]
