NFC: On the local level how do we proceeed
Mr. Rice:
Does your group know anything that could be used to fight
projects, such as
construction and operation of limerock mines and cement
kilns, that will
significantly degrade the oligotrophic karst limestone
spring fed rivers of
North Florida with atmospheric deposition of mercury
and nitrate-nitrogen
from cement kilns. Hydrologic modifactions, ie.
mining, also threaten the
flow of water through these subterranian
systems?
We have species, such as blind crayfish and certain fresh water snails,
that
live in very specialized habitats but which have never been nominated
for
endangered species status and have no protections from these
projects. The
Suwannee River and tributaries also hosts endangered
gulf sturgeon and
manatees. We need a knowledgeable and energetic
volunteer who can fight to
protect these aquatic species from rapacious
developers ......
