PUBliC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: . The collection and burning of forest waste, known as biomass, to produce energy is especially hazardous to human health and current regulation will not protect the public. The County should impose a moratorium on biomass projects to provide time to reView the impacts of these projects . A petition of over 180 clients of Arrow Lumber was presented to support the Arrow Lumber application to add a second building at their site on Highway 20 . The biomass project should not be approved and a letter to the Leader was read regarding this project . Quilcene residents and local agencies have met and developed a letter of intent on fire flow for the commercial area and they are going to apply for PIP funding which would cover approximately Y, of the cost of the system; . Biomass projects like the one at PT Paper Company depend on 2 conditions which are bad forest management practices and bad emission controls . There is no mention of what happened on the fee waiver requested by a non-profit group last week; Information about the Arrow Lumber request should not come to the Board, it should go directly to the County Administrator because the County Code delegates that authority to the County Administrator . A clarification of information given to the Board on the Sportsmen's Club range by the Environmental Health Department. The EP A has been to the range site and made recommendations on storm water drainage which have been corrected and it has not been proven that the storm runoff contains any lead . The business at restaurants around the County is declining and the economy is going to be worse than it Was during the great depression. The Board should do everything they can to do improve the local economy . The preamble to the public comment period was eliminated and now there is good public discourse during this time, however, the original purpose of the preamble was to keep people from making land use comments that are not properly made to the Board of Commissioners.
