Proposed rule changes to the Scenic Rivers Program would severely weaken protections. We need YOUR participation and comments to stop this rollback.

TODAY is the deadline to submit your comments to the Army Corps of Engineers about the Pearl River Flood Risk Management project!!

In June 2010, Corps of Engineers Col. Jeffrey Eckstein wrote a letter to the local Levee Board stating "that the Corps would not resume any further study of flood control along the Pearl River 'for the purpose of considering any impoundment alternatives or private development features.'"

Ask the Corps to honor that commitment and reject the latest prohibitively expensive and environmentally destructive dam/impoundment plan, Alternative D1.
