Statement on Fish & Wildlife Service CCP Affecting Lake Lowell

Statement

Date: May 27, 2011
Location: Boise, ID
Issues: Animals and Wildlife Environment

Today Idaho First Congressional District Rep. Raúl R. Labrador issued the following statement with respect to the release of planned alternatives by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service which would affect the future use of Lake Lowell:

"I am disappointed in the proposed alternatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the future uses of Lake Lowell because they all, in one form or another, further restrict long established uses without specific scientific basis.

"Local government, particularly the Idaho Department of Fish & Game and the Canyon County Commission, have a long and admirable track record of managing the lake and protecting the wildlife that uses the lake as a refuge.

"These new proposals totally ignore this and are completely unacceptable to me. I will be consulting with my Delegation colleagues on whatever steps we can take to ensure these draft proposals go nowhere except into the dust heap of history."
