I've been asked to have folks send this letter off to the Superintendent of the Mojave National Preserve. Please share with your friends...
To: Superintendent Mojave National Preserve 2701 Barstow Road Barstow, CA 92311
Superintendent of the Mojave National Preserve:
Please consider this letter an official response to the National Park Service's request for public comment in answer to the Environmental Assessment for a proposal to convert twelve ranching wells into wildlife guzzlers/drinkers distributed 11/22/05.
I feel very strongly that Alternative B is the correct action for the NPS to pursue. This action will have no negative impact on the environment and needs to be undertaken as soon as possible. I see no reason for further analysis regarding soil, water resources, wildlife, vegetation, endangered species, cultural landscape resources, visitor experience, public health and safety, park operations, or wilderness. Wildlife and visitor experience would have a positive impact whereas the other topics listed above would be insignificant or cause no impact to the MNP. If no action is taken, there will continue to be a negative impact on wildlife, visitor experience and preserve resources.
The management of the MNP has had eleven years to initiate wildlife and ground water studies but yet the MNP management feels that further analysis or studies is needed in some of these areas. Studies of the soil, water, wildlife, visitor impact, etc, will continue for decades as long as there is a Mojave National Preserve, so during these never ending studies do not delay the very important water restoration for the wildlife. The restoration of the few wells that the CDFG recommends as the most critical to the wildlife will not have an adverse impact on the 1.5 million acre preserve. Alternative B must be initiated immediately.
Again, I would like to emphasize that alternative B is the only course of action. Additionally I would like to emphasize that the CDFG must be the agency that will oversee the complete well restoration project.
Very truly yours
