Rimrock controversy illustrates fuzziness of OGM/surface rights

Link to July 16 Warren Times Observer article

Excerpt: When the U.S. Forest Service and the state Department of Environmental Protection face a proposal that will impact the Allegheny National Forest's soil, streams or wildlife, the law is clear.

When the concern is visual impact, the lines get more fuzzy.

In the case of Rimrock, a recreation destination that Bradford District Ranger Tony Scardina has publicly "identified as an area that we consider to be one of our best recreation areas," the lines are under a lot of scrutiny.
