Hammerschmidt to push Buffalo River preservation bill
Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt of Arkansas said he will introduce a bill to keep the Buffalo River a free flowing stream in northwest Arkansas. It would require about 100000 acres along each bank, with land purchase or exchanges to protect the river. The plan could affect four counties and local tax rolls, with possible recreation fees to offset revenue loss. He aims to finalize details after talks with the National Park Service.
