Izembek Road: Exchange Offers Quantity, but not Quality PDF

The Izembek road proposal that moved forward with the passage of P.L. 111-11 (the Omnibus Public Land Management Act) would sacrifice 206 acres of high-quality federally designated Wilderness lands in exchange for about 56,000 acres of far-less-valuable non-federal lands. This exchange would sacrifice quality habitat for a greater quantity of acres. It is not a fair exchange, and should be rejected.

The "2,000-acres" Scam PDF

Energy bills that have narrowly passed the House of Representatives (H.R. 4 August 2, 2001; H.R. 6 April 11, 2003, H.R. 6, April, 21 2005) contain language designed to make oil development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sound more palatable to the public. One such scam was an amendment claiming development would be confined to a 2,000 acre area. In reality, opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling would cause environmental devastation across the entire 1.5 million-acre Coastal Plain, the biological heart of the Refuge.
