What Hobbs discovered appears to have prompted an investigation from the Fish and Wildlife Service: Most of the dozen nests Holak spotted a week earlier were gone.

Two miles west of Butte, the site picked by US Ecology has been troubled by allegations that it has a high water table and wetlands nearby. State officials denied a license for the site because of concerns over potential groundwater contamination and the financial instability of developer US Ecology.

Hobbs, state director of Wildlife Services, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was armed with the authority to dispose of the nests and eggs. "This is costing the taxpayer a minimum of $35,000," Hobbs said of the weeklong construction delay. The decision to clear the bridge of nests and eggs was made after consulting the U.S.

In an interview after the votes, Kansas Commissioner James O'Connell said revoking Nebraska's membership in the compact obligates the state for a longer period of time, while withdrawal only continues the state's liability.

Holak also recognized the contract for the project requires that work stop if it will disturb nesting birds, specifically swallows.

Like other species, swallows are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Actofl918. Cliff swallows are deft, frenetic fliers that annually nest in Nebraska and winter in South America.
