Good morning from in a tree that used to live in my yard but was moved to the city beach in 1985ish when they decided to widen the street

Now it's almost as big as my house... I'm kinda OK not having to take care of this beast.

Army Corps of Engineers plans to revoke Idaho Club's permit for marina development

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to revoke the Idaho Club’s permit for a private marina and housing project on Lake Pend Oreille in response to recent litigation by conservation groups.

Excerpt from this from from the Spokane Spokesmen-Review:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to revoke the Idaho Club’s permit for a private marina and housing project on Lake Pend Oreille in response to recent litigation by conservation groups.

The Idaho Club, a golf resort near Sandpoint, wants to build the project at the mouth of Trestle Creek, about 4 miles south of the golf course along Highway 200. The creek is a major spawning ground for endangered bull trout.

In a Sept. 15 letter addressed to William Haberman, managing member of Valiant Idaho LLC, which owns the Idaho Club, the Corps stated it will continue to suspend its permit for the Trestle Creek Marina Project, and proposed to revoke the permit effective Sept. 26.

On Aug. 25, the Idaho Conservation League and the Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for violating the Endangered Species Act and the Corps for violating the National Environmental Policy Act. Then on Sept. 7, the conservation groups sent a notice of intent to sue the Corps for also violating the Endangered Species Act.

The Corps first permitted the project in 2009 and most recently renewed it in 2019. The Corps suspended the permit in August 2021 after the Idaho Conservation League and Center for Biological Diversity sent an earlier notice of intent to sue over the agency’s failure to restart consultation with FWS, which is required by the Endangered Species Act.

FWS issued a biological opinion on the proposed development’s impact on bull trout on Aug. 12. The opinion found that the development would wound, capture and kill bull trout; and would have negative long-term effects to the fish and critical habitat in Trestle Creek. FWS nevertheless concluded that the project would not jeopardize the recovery of the species.

Dear Tumblr World, 

The weather outside has been just wonderful, warm and sunny days. When I can’t spend this time with all my friends, it makes me want to go for a nice hike in the splendid nature of North Idaho. I might even end it with a cool swim in Lake Pend Oreille. How are you spending your summer days? 

Cheers!
