Following is an Excerpt from Save Holland Lake Facebook Page, dated October 5th.
We recently updated this visual (after the two meetings on October 4) based on clarifications that were made.
1) Orange is limit of current Special Use Permit (SUP) - 10.53 acres
2) Red is what HLL/POWDR are asking for in expanded land area and the FS is reviewing (Waste Water lagoons included - we feel the bigger deal is the lakefront that is trying to be taken from the Public) 19.38 acres total
3) Blue shows how we think the added land will create the impression of a “private lake" by using land and floating docks.
4) We added Campsites 23,24,25. These are currently prime sites in the Bay Loop. Now they will be adjacent to employee housing, employee RV sites, massive parking lots, and maintenance buildings. This will cutoff the lakefront. So this continues to stretch the impact area for actual Public trying to enjoy the lake.
It was obvious that POWDR did not even understand the limits of the current SUP.
Please help by sharing this information and insisting USFS addresses this glaring Special Use Permit concern.
