Where Should I 65 Cross The Wheeler Refuge
The Interstate 65 route across Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge faces opposition from Interior Department and local groups. Interior refused right of way citing harm to waterfowl, proposing two alt routes. Alabama Highway Department and Bureau of Roads favor the original path despite higher costs. Decatur Chamber backs the original route.

Udall Defends Wheeler Refuge in First Public Statement
Secretary Udall issued a letter defending Wheeler Refuge in Alabama as a key waterfowl habitat within the Tennessee Valley Authority system. He cites $1.3 million spent on development and maintenance, peak counts of 48 000 geese and 90 000 ducks, and argues against a proposed Decatur Huntsville jet airport and highway route that would disrupt the refuge. The plan aims to use Wheeler as a stepping stone for broader distribution of waterfowl, with Choctaw and Eufaula refuges noted as successors.
