[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 105945, member: 816"] But, the idea of turning over excess lands that aren't really excess and expecting that the state will manage them in a similar fashion is silly. So, when the state gets them, you can bet your last dollar they will be sold or gifted to individuals. Likely with little to no restrictions on use. Can you imagine farming or grazing right up to the shore of sakakawea? The stated project purposes and managing for those purpose are thrown right out the window then... less recreation, more erosion, more silting, increases in fertilizer and chemical run off, poorer water quality, etc... say what you want about the feds. But, from what I've read of that master plan so far, it looks like an extremely detailed, well thought out and well written document. Maybe it's cause it came from a time when the feds actually did decent work. I don't know. But, I am somewhat impressed by what I see. Additionally, I see this project as a completely different animal than tens of millions of BLM grazing acres spread out over many states. [/QUOTE]
