GRDA reminds public of no-hunting/fishing moratorium

for property along the Neosho River

Vinita � In response to recent public inquiries, the Grand River Dam Authority is reminding area hunters/anglers of the no-hunting and fishing policy for GRDA-owned property along the Neosho River, in Ottawa County.

In March 2010, the GRDA Board of Directors approved a no-hunting/fishing moratorium on property it has acquired in this area since 2005. The moratorium also prohibits all public access and further agricultural and ranching activities upon these lands. Due to safety concerns and until clear property boundaries are marked, the area is designated as a wildlife refuge. GRDA continues to study future uses.

GRDA appreciates the public’s cooperation during this moratorium.
