[Awclist] Bans on Chattooga - Comments needed

[Scofield, Tim]

The Wild and Scenic Upper Chattooga River borders North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and Georgia, and has been banned to kayaking, canoeing and 
rafting for over 30 years - without any basis. The US Forest Service has 
prepared a new Environmental Assessment (EA) of the issue that 
recommends maintaining the ban - once again with no basis.  AW has 
finished an initial review of the EA and  will be filing detailed 
comments on the EA prior to the August 1st deadline. *They encourage 
paddlers nationwide concerned with the management and protection of 
rivers across the country to submit comments.*
