FYI - This scientific study, which looks at water quality in the Tellico watershed (which is the basis of the Trout Unlimited Notice of Intent (NOI) to sue the USFS), is the direct result of efforts by the SFWDA Rescue Tellico Committee, Blue Ribbon Coalition, United Four Wheel Drive Associations and YOUR DONATIONS TO SFWDA.
SFWDA has been working quietly with lawyers, scientists and engineers to counter the baseless and unscientific emotional accusations made by Trout Unlimited and the Southern Environmental Law Center. We have the FACTS and the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to prove that the water quality in the Tellico River Watershed is NOT being damaged by the OHV Area, and in fact meets or exceeds state and national requirements in nearly all areas, and the areas that are not meeting requirements appear directly attributable to other factors besides the OHV Area.
