Old River Mitigation Bank (Prien Lake)

I would think that if the Streams really wanted do do some good, they would do it on their own land. My mother and my brother both have houses out there. I take my granddaughter fishing out there. I think they need to fill in some of the Greywood open water but they probably don't want to mess up their waterfront lots when it is developed out to the waters edge. Everyone involved on the other side has enough money to make these 50 or so homeowners look like trailer trash. (No offence to the people on this site that live in Mobile Homes.)

I sure will miss that 800" of water front.

Also, this appears to me to completely alter fish habitat. There is a shad and shrimp nursery in this area that will be devasted.

You must not know a lot about marsh eco systems. It will enhance shrimp nursery, not devastate it.

FOR THE RECORD - I am neutral on the issue. I don't care either which way. Just pointing out facts about the project.

I wonder exactly where they are drawing the line because my mom and brother own a lot of the bottoms between Fernwood and the Gettings Estate all the way to the South bank. The bay behind St Charles subdivision.

Too bad! "Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". Any project putting marsh back to what it was 50+ years ago is the only things that should be done. Period. But it should be the oil companies paying for it. not tax payers! But if it affected the homeowners property values they should be compensated as well.


edit: Sorry just realized how old this thread was.

Thanks for bumping this topic, I fish that area quite often, this would definitely hurt the area in my eyes. Looking forward to hearing any news on the topic.

The way I see it, its a good thing. Those people that were complaining about that project built there homes on an old landfill. And youre going to complain about something beneficial to the lake system? Hmmm.

That being said, I don't think this project ever got off the ground. I know someone at Stream, and we talked about it about a year or 2 ago.
