The US Fish and Wildlife has decided to protect a minnow (Shiner) in a dry river bed in Texas. They are proposing to create a buffer on private land along over 600 miles of the upper Brazos River System.

Please go to US Fish and Wildlife websites and post your comments, if you wish you don't have to give your name you can do so but Please POST YOUR COMMENTS!!!

The first of the websites is for the listing of the "critical habitat" which is the buffer zone of over 600 miles of the Upper Brazos River System covering 11 counties in Texas.

I can't post link but go to regulations.gov and search using:
FWS-R2-ES-2013-0008

The second page is making those minnows on the endangered species list, which by the way was dry this last year and US Fish and Wildlife rescued over 1,000 but put them in the lower Brazos in which a dam and lake would prevent them from entering the upper Brazos River System. Some how without US Fish and Wildlife help they returned. This little fish as been doing this for thousands of years and will continue.

go to regulations.gov and search
FWS-R2-ES-2013-0083

Please post your comments and stop this Federal Land Grab!!!
 
Thanks for the link. Please put in fws-es-2013-0008 in the search and comment. This is nothing more than a massive take over of property along hundred of miles of the upper Brazos river system.

Also please post your comments concerning the listing of these two little fish on the endangered list. That search number is fws-es-2013-0083 concerning the listing of this minnow to the endangered species list.
 
The upper Brazos river system (Brazos, mountain fork, salt fork, double mountain fork and white river) is over 600 miles and the US fish and wildlife has proposed in creating a buffer on private land owners property for a minnow in a dry river bed.
 
Here is the real story:

The Leon River watershed encompasses approximately 2600 square miles in Bell, Hamilton, Coryell, Comanche, and Eastland Counties. In 1998, the entire Leon River below Lake Proctor was listed as "impaired" on the State of Texas Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List for having bacteria concentrations that exceeded the state's water quality standards. In 2002, as a result of more focused water quality monitoring, that listing was limited to the portions of the Leon River north of Gustine and west of US Hwy 281.

In 2006, as a result of the TMDL Project local stakeholders expressed an interest in taking an active role in developing management strategies to reduce bacteria loadings to the Leon River by developing a Watershed Protection Plan (WPP). The Brazos River Authority (BRA) was asked to facilitate this planning effort. In late 2006 the BRA received approximately $440,000 from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (through an Environmental Protection Agency grant) to conduct the 3 year planning project. The BRA dedicated approximately $290,000 of staff and financial resources to enable to the project. The BRA enlisted the assistance of Parsons Water Infrastructure, Inc. (Parsons) to help day-to-day project activities.

I think I finally see where Mr H stands on environmental issues.

Are you guys opposed to the Endangered Species Act in its entirety, or only when it attempts to protect species which don't interest you?
 
I've got a creek. I made my own buffer along it. Ethical landowners minimize the shit that washes into the waterways from their land. It's not cool to send crap to the people downstream. Except for a certain crowd who apparently believe that crapping on the people downstream demonstrates how one is a socialism-rejecting TruePatriot.

Little fish feed big fish, and the big fish are usually good eating.

I'm opposed to the part that violates the 5th Amendment which says the government cannot expropriate private property for public use without just compensation.
