Wildlife groups, developers close to agreement on eagles

Wildlife agencies and developers of the current airfront retail project can be held liable for compromise that would give adequate protection to the bald eagle.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating letters received during a 30-day public comment period that ended Sept. 30 and is drafting a written stance on what compromises are being made in the geotechnical and effective for the developers.
John Tatsch, an ecologist with the Corps, said that some of the compromises that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kansas Department will make and Parks proposed tentatively to develop on the lake for the developers, the Chelsea Group.
He said the developers and the city probably would agree to provide strips of land around the construction site. That includes a 30-foot corridor on the east side of the proposed development, planned for use as a parking lot.
The city also is offering to preserve a strip of vegetation by the city waste water treatment plant and to protect the agricultural north side of the river, Tatschi said.
Construction of the riverfront project has been delayed while the city and the project developers wait for permits. The new wildlife district. The permits would allow construction along the south bank of the Kansas River, which is part of a designated critical wetland with a bald eagle, an endangered species.
"We agree that the objective is to allow the eagle to be in the area and let it do what it is inclined to do when the bird is not on the ground. Longhurst, a Lawrence resident who is the local representative of the Blue Heron Group, an East Coast-based company.
However, Tatschi said that controversy still existed over a planned walkway /fireline that would be exposed to the river
Longhurst said the developers and the wildlife agencies agreed that screening the promenade with vegetation or a structure would be impractical. It would defeat the project and retained the retail project by the river.
"We are working with them (the wildlife department and the wildlife service) to try to do what we can to satisfy them," he said.
Instead, the groups are trying to agree on a way to limit access on the
promenade during times when the eagles would be feeding in the area.
Tatschi said he would draft permit recommendations by the end of this week and send his findings to his superiors for approval.
He said the Corps probably would notify the wildlife agencies of the loss in activity on a week. If these agencies disagree with the terms, they may request an extended period of negotiation and study, which could delay the permit release.
Members of local environmental groups said they wouldn't oppose the Lawrence riverfront project if developers and wildlife agencies follow through with proposed compromises to protect the eagles' habitat.
"if conservation easements are granted, and something is done about pedestrian access, the eagles might actually benefit," said Joyce Wolf, conservation chairman of the chapter of the Audubon Society.
Wolf said that if the city granted the proposed easements, the eagles would be guaranteed land that would remain undeveloped in the future.
"We're not advocating the project, but with consideration for the eagles, it can be compatible," she said.
California hens produce low cholesterol eggs
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Hens fed a secret diet have produced the first eggs overland from California at its southernmost point, required by egg farmers.
The eggs, 30 percent more expensive to the consumer than regular eggs, went on sale Tuesday in San Luis Obispo.
High cholesterol levels in the blood have been linked to heart disease deposits that might lead to artery and heart disease.
Department of Food and Agriculture, said Tuesday in Sacramento
A state permit confirms claims that the eggs have an average of 125 milligrams of cholesterol compared with an average of 728 milligrams in a standard grade AA egg. Ardie Ferrick, supervisor of egg inspection for the state
The American Heart Association recommends that an adult keep below 300 milligrams the daily dietary intake.
"If the doc says you need a low cholesterol diet, this is just the thing." said manager Paul May of Rosemary Hill's office.
