The Lochsa River Conservancy
Sign Now
We the undersigned believe that the Wild and Scenic Lochsa River Corridor and the Lewis and Clark National Scenic By-way (U.S. Highway 12) should not be used now or in the future for the transportation of extremely oversized commercial equipment and oppose Imperial Oil/ Exxon Mobils proposed travel route in Idaho.
Not only will this project set a precedent for other interested parties but, this type of activity is contradictory to what the area represents and will be detrimental to small businesses and communities that depend on the recreational aspects of the area.
The narrow width, windy character and existing commercial traffic on U.S. Highway 12 already pose significant dangers to recreationalists and motorists alike. Multiple semi-truck wrecks in the past have spilt their fuel and contents into the delicate river ecosystem protected under the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. Altering this roadway to accommodate oversize loads can and will have adverse effects on the Lochsa River ecosystem.
Projects such as the aforementioned should use routes specifically designed for oversize commercial use.

There is no way this can happen without adverse affect to the river. The trucks are just too big.

With Exons track record there is no way they should be allowed on this highway. Take the interstate!
