Petition
Armed Services Committee members to support SB
2761 and stop Eminent Domain seizures by the Army in Pinon Canyon expansion
The
Army is planning on expanding their Pinon Canyon tank/arms maneuver
site in Colorado, by upwards of five million acres, destroying habitat,
wildlife, livelihoods and the economies of rural America.
A huge part of our personal property rights, heritage, history, archeological
sites and more will be lost if we don't let our leaders know it is wrong
and unnecessary.

Instructions
for filing a Freedom of Information Act filing
Call the "Fraud, waste, and Abuse" hotline of Fort Carson to report the waste of building another firing range with more buildings when it is a duplication of services. Talking points:
1. The permanent buildings planned for the existing PCMS aren't needed, certainly
within the scope of the planned uses, including, but not limited to the H20
line, seperate hospital, and gas chamber.
2.
The projected 50 brigade maneuver days of training won't fit in the present
plans. How can they project the land can handle those numbers. Where are the
studies to back up those projections?
3.
Where are the studies that show the existing Fort Carson range will not suffice
for this training?
4.
Why would there need to be an expansion of the PCMS givien the existance of
Fort Irwin "National Training Center", which encompasses 3 million acres and
which the Army says can handle the training needs of brigade size maneuvers?

Memorandum of
Agreement between the Army and the EPA to comply witih the Clean Water Act
Presently, twelve wetlands on Fort Carson and six sites at Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site are monitored on a monthly basis. These areas include a variety of aquatic habitats, including marshes, ponds, riparian areas, small streams, and artificial water impoundment's (e.g., erosion control dams) that support obligate and facultative wetland vegetation. Generally the monitored sites are in close proximity to terrestrial habitats that are used extensively for military training activities, often involving substantial ground disturbing activities.
