Many realize the Panhandle has overr 7000 miles of roads, and is the most heavily roaded forest in the nation. As many groups make efforts to minimize nutrient loads from the upper Basin into Lake Cd’A and the Spokane River, it will be important to get the forest service to take serious inventory of roads needing resorative work, espcially those adding to sediment transport and erosion further polluting our Lakes and Rivers. We need the forest service to be accountable as Trustees to help the overall clean up plan, without threatening road closures to areas unrelated to specific Basin clean up! It will make a big improvement on water quality over time and this is DOABLE!
