While what I'm gonna say has nothing to do with turbines . I can remmember when Lordship shut down and the Great Eastern was cancelled for a number of years until they brought it to Greenbelt at the old Beretta Gun Club . And I understand they were putting x amount of tons of shot in the water each year . I also remmember when they shut down the old trap fields at the Ann Arundal Gun Club for the same reason .

Now I realize the magnitude of shot skeet and trap clubs can dump in a marsh or waterway can be immense ,whats considered an acceptable level for wildlife and human alike ?

The reason I ask is this . I hunt the Blackwater NWR each year and the Chincoteague NWR the years I get drawn . And ALL of the areas in both places are open to LEAD buckshot and slugs . Now granted there might be lets say 1,000 loads of buck and slugs shot on each refuge yearly . But wouldn't that be the same thing ?

I mean it's kinda like the frickin condor in Cali or whatever it is they forbid the use of any lead !
