My father-in-law, Christopher Heiselman, was the soils engineer on both Cannonsville and Pepacton. He had mixed feelings about habitat destruction (including human habitat), but had he lived to see the benefit to the local economy, environment, and wildlife habitat of this great river when allowed to run at optimal volume, he would have felt his work was not in vain. A significant part of his work was Cannonsville,the prime purpose of which is to provide optimal flow. So let's see that the prime purpose is fulfilled. The inabilty of what used to be called the NY City Board of Water Supply to listen is legendary! Let's hope this petition turns up the volume.
