One of the most lingering disappointments I have had concerning this administration is the review of the Executive Orders issued by the Clinton White House and frankly I can not recall any or at least any significant ones being reversed or revoked. The two that bother me most are the roadless initiative, with the groundwater arsenic level a very close second. The Utah coal nation park one was a bad one also IMO.
The dropping of the allowable arsenic in drinking water is going to cost millions of dollars maybe hundreds of millions. Please show me some one who died of arsenic poisoning from drinking a glass of tap water in the last 50 years, hell I'm easy let's go 75 years.

The new roadless areas often have existing historical roads that the feds are closing and trying to close even more existing roads.
They also close existing hiking trails to hikers...
The "PC" spin is no new roads, but the reality is that they are removing existing roads.
They are denying access to public lands by the public. We can not hike, have lunch, etc. after these areas are closed.
The feds also propose rules to stop camping by families. One proposal was one person camping per mile. So a family of four had to carry in four tents and place each tent one a mile apart !
