Cape Hatteras sets hearings on off-road vehicles

Cape Hatteras National Seashore has set five public hearings for consideration of the draft environmental impact statement/Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan for the seashore. "The Plan/EIS will guide the management of ORV use at America’s first national seashore for the next 10 to 15 years," a news release says. The National Park Service is also developing an ORV regulation for the seashore.

The hearing schedule includes dates in Ocracoke, Buxton, Kill Devil Hill, Raleigh and Hampton, Virginia, April 26 - 29. The meetings will follow a hearing-style format, which includes a brief presentation, with time allotted for public comments.

I support HR 718 bill introduced by Senators Richard Burr, Kay Hagan and endorced by Gov. Purdue and other officials which will have NPS reinstate original ORV beach access to our Cape Hatteras National Seashore and RECREATION AREA. Science proves not detrimental to non-endangered birds. Local cultur of villages are suffering. America has limited access to it's beaches. Make public comment by May 11, 2010. Go to www.preservebeachaccess.org to make public comment on your access.
