This forum is a good place to get info out to cavers and rally support, but can be a slow way to rouse official investigation and action from the NSS.
Just trying to help.....
Thanks for being on top of this.

Mill Creek is owned by the NSS and the CDS is its steward. <snip>will have profound effect on the NSS should it allow a developer to destroy one of its assets without a fight.
Cave passages belong to the owner/s of the surface above them. Granted, these passages are important to the cave's value to the NSS and cave divers, however they don't belong to us.
