After a year of study, the Forest Service has released the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) on the Pactola Reservoir - Rapid Creek Watershed Withdrawal (Link to Project Page). That proposal would protect more than twenty thousand acres of our critical and beloved watershed, including Jenny Gulch, which is threatened by F3’s proposed gold exploration. What we need to bring this 20-year protection to fruition are YOUR comments, and those of your family, friends, business associates, and everyone who loves and depends on this resource. Those comments must be submitted by Monday, October 21st (Link to Comment Page). AND, we’re having a party! On Tuesday, October 8th, join us from 5:30-8pm for the “Comment Jam” with live music from Mike Lemay, tasty hors d’oeuvres from Bashful Bison Deli, and cold beverages at Hay Camp Brewing Company, 601 Kansas City St. in Rapid City. Join us to celebrate this milestone and this important opportunity to unify our voices to say YES! YES, we want to protect 20K+ acres for 20-years, and more.
In the meantime, here is the important information on how to comment:
Thank you for your ongoing support! We hope to see you on October 8th! Respectfully, The Rapid Creek Watershed Action Team For more information email us at [email protected]
