"The Natural and Scenic Rivers System" in Louisiana was established to protect and maintain certain streams in our state as God made them. Once modifications to the original tenets are created, there's no telling how far they will go - in-stream gravel mining comes to mind. And then the stream is no longer neither natural nor scenic.
Any changes to these laws are detrimental to the health of the system and are usually self-serving. Please, PLEASE suggest our reps vote against them!
