#Long-Range Planning
Please consider a ban of mining activities on shorelines of significance
Dear Jefferson Planning:
I am writing to ask you to reconsider the language of your draft shoreline ordinance,
which currently permits mining and ore transport activities to occur along shorelines of
statewide significance. These types of industrial activities are not appropriate for
shorelines that are entrusted to us for stewardship and conservation of their natural
resources and beauty. In particular, the beauty and integrity of Hood Canal could be
severely compromised by allowing these activities to occur. As someone who regularly
recreates along and enjoys this shoreline, and appreciates the value of its wildlife
habitat, I encourage you to do everything possible to preserve this beautiful area. Please
amend the ordinance language to prohibit mining activities that could threaten Hood Canal
and other shorelines of significance.
Sincerely,
Debbie Rudnick
Bainbridge Island, WA
