    A High Capacity Well has been proposed by an Ohio businessman on a trout stream in Crawford County called Copper Creek.

    The man that owns the land and asking for the well owns a Bottled Water Company

    He has applied for the well and told the WDNR the water will be for Emergency Use ONLY.

    The permit process was hurried through at first but some diligent locals caught the attempted end run.

    This stream could not handle water being taken from it in the hot summer. It would devastate the trout population.

    The permit has not yet been approved.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!! I am all for people making money, but certainly not at the expense of beautiful places.

    LenH:

    Dave Carlson from Northland Adventures did a piece on this subject this past week. Sounds like it is going to be an interesting deal. The owner of the proposed well did speak, which can be unusual when they are put in adversarial positions.
