Defend Buffalo River

I am grateful for the articles, editorials, and letters this newspaper has published recently on the need for action to defend and preserve our precious Buffalo River.

The Department of Environmental Quality says there will be a period for public comment, but has not yet announced the date. I wish to suggest one quick and easy step we can take now. Start practicing by sending a brief letter to Caleb Osborne, Associate Director of the Office of Water Quality, Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, 5301 Northshore Drive, North Little Rock, 72118.

You might also send a short but heartfelt note to the Voices page in hopes of keeping this vital matter high on the public radar.
