How do I stop a logging operation or housing development from going in the wooded area beside my house?
Environmental legislation such as wetland regulations or the Endangered Species Act was not enacted as a way to stop projects, and we should not try to use them as such. Within reason and zoning laws, all landowners should have the right to use their land for all lawful purposes. Development projects and logging operations are required to have permits or at least maintain best management practices that help assure that natural resources are protected. That said, if you have information on specific violations of wetlands regulations or federally endangered species you should contact either the regional DENR office (N.C. Division of Environmental Management) or the Raleigh Fish and Wildlife Service office respectively.
