Concerns over environmental abuse may block a river access plan in south central Kansas.
"The commission set aside a staff recommendation to adopt the Arkansas River Corridor Access Plan, after about a dozen riverfront property owners objected to it Wednesday."
"The commission voted to "receive and file" the plan. Ordinarily, that would be the end of discussion."
"But two commissioners, Dave Unruh and Tim Norton, said they want the plan to come back for further consideration at a workshop."
"The property owners say they're worried that more use of the river would worsen existing problems such as poaching and illegal use of all-terrain vehicles."
"The plan calls for access points to the river along a 100-mile stretch from Nickerson, in northern Reno County, to Oxford on the Sumner-Cowley county border."
