Final Environmental Impact Statement for
Commercial Sand Dredging on the Kansas River

The Final Environmental Impact Statement for Commercial Sand Dredging on the Kansas River was issued today.

You can read it here: http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Portals/29/docs/regulatory/ksdredging/2017/2017-09-26_KS_River_Dredging_FEIS.pdf

A final RECORD OF DECISION will be issued by the Corps of Engineers and that will determine whether or not they continue to allow commercial sand dredging in the Kansas River.

We will be reviewing the Final EIS document and stand ready to continue to fight dredging on the Kansas River. Please take the time to review this document and stay engaged. Thank you for your support of our efforts to get these sand dredges moved to appropriately sited pit mines and out of the river bed.

TYSON FIGHT IS NOT OVER

Tyson Fight Is Not Over

As you may have heard in the news, last Monday, September 18, 2017 the Leavenworth County Commission revoked resolution 2017-52, which determined the intent to issue $500 million in industrial revenue bonds to the proposed Tyson Slaughterhouse Project. After the meeting, Tyson issued a letter to the Tonganoxie community and said it is putting plans for a plant on hold after Leavenworth County Commissioners rescinded their support Monday amid protests and frustrations from residents. Read the full letter here: https://localtvwdaf.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/open-letter-leavenworth-county3.pdf

We stand ready to see where Tyson goes now. We believe strongly that Tyson is not welcome in the state of Kansas. Please join us to stay informed, stay alert, talk to your local council members and county commissioners about how you feel about a Tyson Slaughterhouse coming to your town, and make your voices heard. We will stay engaged and work to keep Kansas water healthy.
