Bayview Chamber Sicks Craig on Developer

re: part of the letter sent to U.S. Sen. Larry Craig

The Idaho Department of Lands has fined Waterford Park Homes LLC $2500 which is the maximum allowed by statute. Negotiations are under way with the Idaho Department of Fish & Game Designed to restore the spawning bed to its original condition. However, the loss of the fry that would have emerged in June of 2007 is not compensated for in those negotiations. That loss of 8% of lake wild spawning production will be felt every four years into the future. That means the loss compounds into the future. We believe a stern enforcement action is merited, which could include a substantial fine.

We respectfully request your office conduct a review of the Corps actions and an explanation of why they are not proceeding with stringent enforcement actions.
