The
City of Apalachicola will be holding a Special Meeting at 1:00 P.M. Tuesday,
January 26, 2016 to consider passing a resolution requesting the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) consider navigation of the
Apalachicola/Chattahoochee/Flint (ACF) River Basin in the Corps Water Control
Manual and draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
As
written the draft manual doesn’t take into consideration the needs of the
Apalachicola area as it pertains to navigation or the local oyster industry. It’s
currently weighted toward upstream users of the system only.
The
end of the public comment period for the manual is this January 30, 2016. Because
of this, as many people as possible from the Franklin County community and
beyond need to contact the USACE via email at ACF-WCM@usace.army.mil to let them
know that we want fair and equitable use of the ACF River Basin.
