I strongly object to disestablishing the Ashley River Anchorage Area 2 until such
time as the present issue of sunken and abandond vessels in this and other
Anchorage Areas is appropriately dealt with. I believe the vessels currently
abandond and sunken in this Anchorage Area have already created significant
pollution and degredation of the adjacent submerged bottoms. Once cleaned up,
these areas still take many years to heal from the abuse. It has been publically
reported that neither the Federal or State Government presently has the financial
resources to adequately deal with this problem. Until such time as those
resources become available and some visable action to deal with sunken and
abandond vessels is observed, I fear the disestablishment of this Anchorage will
only encourage the creation of an alternate abandond vessel anchorage
somewhere else in our local rivers or estuaries. Presently I do not believe removing
this Anchorage best serves the interest and welfare of the general public.
