Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the scoping process now taking place.
Statesman has used different numbers in different planning documents for the amount of
water that wil! be needed for the proposed resort. However, none of the planning
documents defines the aquifer from which the water will be taken. !t appears that no one
has defined this aquifer. There are already wells with existing water rights of 5000 gallons
per day. Before any water can be claimed by Statesman, there must be a scientific
definition of the capacity of the entire aquifer, minus existing water rights. Then we can
begin to define what water Statesman might be able to use.
To define the aquifer, various tests need to be done for the next year. Wells on Black
Point need to be tested at different times of the year for their capacity and, also, for salt
water intrusion. Detailed recommendations by Waterworks Consultants have been
submitted to you during this scoping process and are on the Brinnon Group website. I
support those testing recommendations.
Sincerely,
Sue Bond
Brinnon, Wa
