There should be no question under a purely analytical basis that this proposed single lane ramp without floats will have zero adverse impact.

Now, the 800 pound gorilla is whether the Corps will apply an apolitical analysis.

It should also be noted (again) that this project has already removed a deteriorating structure and creosote pilings that had a much bigger footprint/environmental impact than the proposed ramp. Put another way, even with the ramp the project will result in less impact to tribal treaty fishing.






Don't be too quick to look at it that way...if the tribe thinks that recreational crabbers will have easier access to crabs in that area due to the boat launch, then I guarantee you they will consider that an adverse impact.

In any event, the impacts are, at worst, de minimus, in my opinion, so hopefully the Corps stands up to the tribe and makes them prove otherwise.

Fish on...
