After gaining significant protections for bighorn sheep on the Payette National Forest due to Advocates for the West's prior litigation...
Megaloads decision now in the hands of the Hearing Officer
Date:
05/23/2011 
Advocates for the West filed their post hearing brief in the case to prevent Idaho's Highway 12 along the Lochsa and Clearwater Rivers into becoming Big Oil's high-and-wide corridor to the Alberta Tar Sands. The decision to change "wild and scenic" to "high-and-wide" industrial corridor is now in the hands of the Hearing Officer.
Representing locals and concerned groups, Advocates for the West presented evidence for two weeks that converting Highway 12 into an industrial high-and-wide corridor is bad for Idaho and for our way of life.
We are expecting a decision from Hearing Officer Duff McKee in early June.
Thank you to Fighting Goliath, Friends of the Clearwater, our expert witnesses, the Nez Perce Tribe, and so many more for taking time to speak out for the Idaho we all love and enjoy.
