    Complaint Description and Writeup

    From email:

    "A long dirt road, recently gated, has been cut in along the southeastern rim of Pond Creek Canyon in Bledsoe County, with large areas of pristine wilderness growth completely denuded along the brow line. The roadbed has been partially graveled, and crosses numerous creeks which feed into the Pond Creek drainage system. About a half dozen "luxury camping" domes, mounted atop huge decks, have been installed, with apparently many more planned, according to local workers familiar with the project. Bulldozers, steam shovels and other heavy earth moving equipment has been used extensively to accomplish this, and have been onsite working for well over a year now. This appears to be a potential environmental disaster in the making."
