\r\n

\r\nLIVE OAK. Fin. — US. Rep. Ted Yoho hiked with around 30 opponents\r\nto the Sabal Trail pipeline through Suwannee River State Park’s Big\r\nOak Trail in north Florida to look at sinkholes near the proposed\r\nroute.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe morning hike was a result of\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\na report done by Dennis Price<\/a>, a\r\nlocal practicing geologist. Price’s report directly contradicts what\r\nSabal Trail presented during its permitting process, particularly\r\nsinkhole proximity to the proposed route….\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"Page<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe story mentions that WWALS Watershed Coalition board member Chris Mericle\r\ninvited Ted Yoho.\r\n

\r\n

\r\n“These guys have done their homework. They’ve done a great job,”\r\nYoho said.\r\n“We need to get this stuff clarified before we go any further.”\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nThe story mentions some of the substance of the discrepancies.\r\nSee WWALS report<\/a>\r\nand\r\nOur Santa Fe River report<\/a> for more details,\r\nand see WWALS letter of 4 April 2016 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers<\/a> for much more detail, including links to numerous geological reports.\r\n

\r\nThe VDT article concludes:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nYoho said he would be supportive of the Army Corps of Engineers doing another study.\r\n

\r\n“We were told the pipeline was 750 feet away from the nearest (sinkhole),\r\nbut it’s clearly not,”\r\nYoho said after the hike.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nYou can help call on the Corps to open \r\na Supplementary Environmental Impact Study (SEIS).\r\nHere’s a\r\npetition<\/a>,\r\nor look up your member of Congress by ZIP code<\/a>.\r\nYou can also ask your local county and city governments and school boards to do the same.\r\n
