Idaho Club-Lakeside Development Threatens Protected Bull Trout Habitat
SANDPOINT,
Idaho Conservation groups filed a formal notice today of their intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Army Corps of Engineers and Trestle Creek Investments for approving the Idaho Club-Lakeside luxury housing and marina development near Trestle Creek, one of the most important bull trout spawning streams in the Pacific Northwest.
The planned development calls for the construction of five single-family luxury homes, a boat ramp, two docks and 124 boat slips. It would require the excavation of an island and peninsula and would discharge thousands of tons of concrete, soil and rock into Lake Pend Oreille near the mouth of Trestle Creek.
