A local (Delaware) chapter head for Sierra Club serves on a committee with 
me.  I'll see what she knows or can find out about it.  I think you are right 
that watershed protection is a good angle, however, in Delaware the lands the 
state has recently acquired to that end are, at least in two areas, going to 
be dug up to put in reservoirs to protect against drought.  Still, walking 
past a reservoir on a hike is probably preferable to walking past...... 
condos (yikes - did I say that?).

It's probably a good idea to check with ATC as well.
