We are running into some resistance from the District relating to boat ramps on these CERP reservoir projects. I hate to cry wolf but I think we had better show up at this meeting in Belle Glade to impress upon the District and the Corp that we want access and boat ramps to the reservoirs and we want it included in the original plans.

I may have spoken too quickly on the need to turn out in big numbers to this meeting. There are actually 2 boat ramps with parking for 20 rigs at each planned for the EAA reservoir. That's exactly what we have been asking for.

The problem apparently is isolated to the C-44 and C-43 reservoir projects. We will continue to work with the district to get these projects built with the ramps. This will also apply to the Taylor creek reservoir and the three reservoirs being planned NW of Lake O.
