This message is from Wade White who started the petition "U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Stop the Restriction of Access to Public Waterways ," which you signed on Change.org.

Because we do not believe the Nashville District is forwarding information on the number of complaints we are receiving we have made the decision to ask everyone to call General Bosticks Office in Washington D.C. to file their concerns about these restrictions. Please forward this number to others and call anytime today or in next few days.

202-761-0001 This is General Bosticks Office. Be polite and voice your opposition!

The attached is an email from Judge White expressing our position and why we feel it is prudent to send a call his way.

Director Stockton, USACE Director of Civil Works

I am writing regarding the plans to permanently restrict the waters below 10 dams on the Cumberland. This is being planned from the Nashville Dirstrict, Lt Col. James Delapp.

We have had conversations with District Commander DeLapp but we have not been successful in convincing him of the enormity of the problems this barricade will cause for our citizens and our tourism industry. It also causes many safety issues for those fishing on the bank.

Our offices are being inundated with phone calls in opposition to this and we believe its prudent to turn these callers to General Bosticks office as many want to voice their opinion regarding these restrictions.

Feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience as I fully expect many to start calling the Generals office very soon.

I do ask for consideration to be heard. This move will be devastating to our local economy and we do not feel we have been brought into this process. Based on the Corps regulations that I have seen it appears normal operating procedure for the Corps to implement large scale operations such as this in a manner that involves local, state and federal agencies and the public. It is our opinion this was not done by Lt. Col. Delapp. The regulations call for input from all those who have significant interest. We have not found a Federal, State or Local agency that was contacted other than the KY Fish and Wildlife that opposes this move.

We currently have in place a plan that works for Barkley Dam. This complete restriction is not the answer. I look forward to hearing from you very soon. office 270-388-7311
