I do not think that "the City of Moscow WANTS developers to act this way".
Gary Presol will be giving a report to Public Works at 7 a.m. on Monday
(Dec. 18) on the status of the Erosion Control language that he has been
working on. Before the Council acts on anything, it needs to go through
the Technical Code Review committee. I believe that it will help the
Council to have this kind of technical review before we decide to make a
new law.
I also do not agree that "On the Palouse, local governments simply do not
care about erosion or the water pollution that results from erosion."
