Call the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, which is
responsible for enforcing most water quality regulations in Kentucky.

Subject: [TN-Bird] wetlands question
TN birders,
I have spent 8 weeks this summer working in Elizabethtown, KY, and as I poke
around, including a small stream within a few feet of where I am staying, I
have not failed to notice something that would seem to be against some
environwmental law, but I am not sure.? Can someone educate me on the laws
covering riparian areas, and what can you do and not do legally, in the name
of "progress".
For example, the stream I am speaking of has had large CAT vehicles driving
through the sream, breaking off rocks that serve as the stream bed, and even
stopping the flow by dirt that has been pushed into the stream bed, thus
producing a muddy mess.? If exsiting laws have been broken, who do you go to
seek protection for the environment?
I obviously have a lot to learn, but it seems noone is speaking up to
protect this area.
