Hi All.

Roger Loughney here. I am working on behalf of an ever growing group of concerned citizens/visitors to the Indian Creek Valley. Mt Pines is a nuisance campground that continually discharges inadequately/improperly treated sewage into Indian Creek resulting in extremely high levels of fecal coliform (poop) in the stream. It's disgusting, reprehensible and dangerous, but they don't seem to care. The discharge is on the downstream side of their property. The picture above shows the contaminated cloudy water mixing in with the clean water.

Mountain Pines was recently purchased by Diamond Properties, a New York real estate developer, so they could care less about the area and it shows.

They have also been responsible for major fish kills in the past by draining highly chlorinated pool water directly into the creek.

In spite of all of their awful behavior, they are trying to EXPAND their operations to add an additional 131 sites and all the excrement that comes along with it. You would think that it would be easy to fight this expansion, but it isn't, and our fight has incurred significant expenses. Our group is long on energy, moxie and will, but we are growing short on funds.

We need help from you to keep the fight going to protect the Indian Creek Valley!
