That's not what he is trying to do. It is a corrupt real estate scam and a payoff to select timber companies, global agribusiness, developers, and banks. He is trying to use the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) non-point TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) for sediment released from seasonal streams to gain regulatory control of every inch of dirt in the state by calling sediment a water pollutant. The plan to use the Clean Water Act for land use control comes straight out of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) in Gland Switzerland. The IUCN is the equivalent of the EPA for the United Nations.

You are right on about the Water Quality Control Board and their heavy handed tactics. WQCB & Fish and game rule the roost when it it comes to logging today. There is just a hand full of independent sawmills left in Humboldt County. Ell River saw mills just sold last week to an unknown group.(a front for some corp?) Barnum Timber Holdings sold out this month and laid off all but two employees. Timber consulting firms are laying off foresters. The pulp mill can't get enough chips to operate. Power generators are running out of wood waste(hog fuel) to run the plants. PL sold all their logging equipment, dump trucks and logging trucks and are contracting out the work. Loggers have payments to make so they are bidding lower to get work and going broke in the process. Schmdbauer Lumber is importing logs from New Zeland and Wash to keek his mill running.

BTW Doug Bosco is married to the daughter of V Guynup a logger and exporter of logs in Humbold Co.
