#Long-Range Planning
Shoreline Master Plan
Greetings,
I am writing to ask you to amend the current preliminary draft shoreline master plan to
prohibit mining activities on the shoreline of Hood Canal and any other shoreline of
state-wide significance within the county's jurisdiction. These activities may serve to
promote economic growth, but at what cost? Hood canal is one of the few unmarred inland
shorelines within the state and should be preserved for sustainable use and enjoyment by
all. Once lost, this pristine part of Jefferson county cannot be recovered.
Please consider the greater good to Jefferson county residents these shorelines represent,
At the very least, this master plan should not permit mining activities, including
conveyor belts, piers, and barges on the conservancy shoreline of Hood Canal. Do
Jefferson county residents want to subsidize gravel mining operations at the expense of
our precious natural environment? The answer is NO.
Thank you for your deliberate consideration of this important and far reaching matter.
