This quote is absolutely incredible, "In an intra-agency memorandum, Donna Darm, who was NMFS acting Regional Administrator for the Northwest until October 1, said: "When we make critical habitat designations we just designate everything as critical, without an analysis of how much habitat an ESU needs . . . ." Darm added that no analysis of habitat need was performed "because we lack information."
Enraged, thanks for finding this and posting it!
NMFS has designated "everything" as critical habitat in over 150 watersheds blanketing California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The designations have enormous regulatory impacts on the use of land and water because the Endangered Species Act prohibits any federal project, permit, or federally funded action from "adversely modifying" critical habitat. Federal critical habitat is also a key trigger for many state and local land use restrictions."
Ms Darm should be sued by everyone who has suffered damages due to any decision while she was in power to make these comments!
These enviralists in government are as dangerous as the Islamic Terrorist and maybe even more so. As they make rulings like these to cripple economies, the workers and to facilitate Rural cleansing of Americans who live in work in Druid coveted areas!
Under oath, I would like see her enviral connections documented, and how long she has been connected!
Enviralists = terrorists!
Well, this is just the same way the Oregon Wildlife employee decided what level to set Klamath Lake at. His decision had no basis in science or fact but it was a great level of water for his deep hulled boat because the normal level of the lake wasn't deep enough!
This information needs to get out now!
