Video and more updates from the Pikeville hearing

For those of you who were not able to attend Tuesday's hearing in Pikeville, we've pulled together a video of some footage from inside the expo center arena of members giving comments about the Nationwide Permit 21.  Some of the audio may be difficult to hear due to the acoustics of the arena and the noise from the crowd, but it ought to give you a pretty good sense of what it was like to be there.

And for those of you who were unable to attend, you can still submit comments electronically.  We are encouraging all of our members and allies to take a moment to submit comments in support of the Army Corps' proposed rule change on valley fill permitting.  We have an action page on this issue set up where you can learn more about the issue, read talking points and submit your comment.  You have until October 26th to submit your comments.

Additionally, we have created some pages with the text of some of our members' comments and other interesting quotes from the hearing.  Follow the links below to read them:
