Repealing the roadless rule will severely harm our drinking water. Roads are the largest controllable source of forest sediments as proven in roadless areas and clean water.

Conservation, 66(3), 78A-79A. (DellaSala, D.
A. 2011) For example, Salem, OR had to spend roughly $100 million after sediment from logging related disturbances contaminated the watershed. Dominick A.
DellaSala's 2011 synthesis in the Journal of Soil & Water Conservation proves that 3,400 communities across 33 states rely on national forests for drinking water, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, & California's central valley, which provides food for the entire country. Roughly 124 million Americans stand to face contaminated water if the Roadless Rule isn't in place. PROTECT OUR PUBLIC LANDS, THEY ARE FOR THE PEOPLE (NOT FOR SALE FOR THE HIGHEST BIDDING COMPANY) AND MUST BE PROTECTED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Our country, like every single ecosystem, is connected. We cannot simply continue to import almost every source of food or continue to lose trading partners and opportunities of food and organics.
