Anderson Farms - Photos of Wetlands Destruction to mitigate development regulations (occurred in the fall of 2001)

"BEFORE" PHOTO: The Anderson Farms "Lake" which regularly appeared during periods of extended rainfail. (Photo below was taken through our windshield.)


Above view shows the north portion of the property, split by 135th/Bryant Road; driving southward on Sultan Basin Road

"AFTER" PHOTO: purposeful destruction of wetlands:

Unfortunately, we did not get a photo in time to show the deep plowing and mowing that occurred on this property before lime and other killing chemicals were applied to it. (MOWING WETLANDS: It might interest readers to know that several other property owners desirous of developing their large parcels have plowed and are regularly mowing their wetland grasses. We have photos which we will post eventually.)
