[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3765566, member: 26737"] How much they’re trying to protect the watershed vs. how much they’re using that as an excuse to maximize tax revenues is debatable, but for decades the overt excuse has been that they’re trying to protect the watershed for Norman’s main drinking water supply. (It’s split between Dirtybird and the aquifer, but, IIRC, the lake provides the majority of Norman’s water.) I wonder what the environmental studies are going to show. A lot of the exposed sandstone around the proposed route through Norman is actually part of the Garber-Wellington aquifer... [/QUOTE]
