"We did everything we could to work with EPA on this," he says. "I really feel betrayed. We showed them how the flooding affected wildlife, trees and our farmland. That's why I'm hopeful this lawsuit will give us a chance."
Flooding definitely has an effect on wildlife, according to Trey Cooke, executive director of Delta Wildlife, a Mississippi organization focused on restoration, enhancement and management of wildlife habitats in the state.
"It's unnatural for wildlife to be forced to contend with this type of flooding," he says. "Right now, turkey populations have been decimated in the Yazoo back-water area due to consecutive flood events. This is a prime example of how flooding affects more than just agriculture."
