@
Jefferson County Planning Commission,
I am writing to urge you to amend the 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. The entire Hood Canal shoreline is
designated as a "Shoreline of State-Wide Significance" and as
such should not be threatened with permits for mining activities
including conveyor belts, piers, and barges.
Come on folks, you can do better by the current and future
residents of this county. Hood Canal needs less, not more,
development, as evidenced by countless examples of oxygen
depletion, declining marine life, unacceptable increases in
shoreline runoff and the resulting impacts to the local ecology
and economy.
Please educate yourselves on the efforts to restore this critical
habitat at Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda website
