We are trying to keep a large city sized housing development from being built in the watershed of lake maumelle. Lake maumelle is the water source for a large portion of central Arkansas. The pollution added to the lake from developing and later habitation will cost Arkansas 60 million for a new water treatment plant and affect the quality of our drinking water.

Also we will be protesting and voicing our opinion tomorrow at the little rock chamber of commerce where zoning for this area will be discussed.

If you have any questions PM me

Wow, I've really got to check in here more often. I guess the holidays stole my attention away. How did this issue resolve fray?

It was delayed until they had a geographical survey (which is meaningless other than to delay it) it is coming back up this month. Several of the justice of the peace's on the quorum court have been receiving death threats for not passing the zoning in the favor of deltic timber. So we are organizing to fight again shortly.

They are trying to. This all stems from a deal between deltic timber and city of little rock 10-15 years ago where the city basically gave away the land.

We have already cost deltic timber a ton of money by delaying their plans. Hopefully we can get our quorum court to vote down the city planning committee's zoning.
