You’ve arrived at the temporary home of Sportsmen for the Green. In the coming weeks, we’ll be publishing our fully interactive website, but, because this effort is so important and so timely, we wanted to hurry up and get online so you can take action to protect Flaming Gorge, the Green River, and Our Dam Water.
Colorado developer Aaron Million wants to take 81 billion gallons a year out of the Green River and Flaming Gorge, and pump it 560 miles to the Front Range of Colorado. Initial construction costs for this project will exceed $7 billion, with annual operating costs totaling over $123 million. But that’s not the worst part. The Million Pipeline is a potential economic and natural resources boondoggle that could unleash a host of destructive impacts on local communities, fish and game habitats, and taxpayers in three states. As members of Sportsmen for the Green we are working to remind those financing this pipe dream that “it’s our dam water.”
To get involved in this effort to protect our water, our fish and game, and our hunting and angling opportunities, simply fill out the form below and let us know you’d like to know more about the campaign and the effort to protect this very special piece of the West (if you’re a WordPress user, just fill in a comment–your name and e-mail address will automatically be sent to us):
