NOTE: This meeting represents an update and report of the activities under Consent Agreement
1:05-CV-61 FPS, US District Court, Northern District of West Virginia, of February 5, 2007. This agreement
involved Plaintiffs CLEAR, the Friends of Blackwater, and the WV Chapter of the Sierra Club. The original
Defendant was Allegheny Wood Products, Inc. who sold their forest land interests in the Cheat Canyon on
March 27, 2009. The Copperhead Consulting group has completed the delineation of actual and potential
habitat for the Cheat three-tooth snail in Areas 1, 2 and 3 on the north side (river-right) and recently for
Area 4 on the south side (river-left). Logging was completed by Allegheny Wood Products last year
for the north side and no logging is currently planned for the southside. A northern segment of the
Allegheny Trail passes thru the north Areas 1, 2, and 3, but is closed to the public.
Duane Nichols, CLEAR.
