Subject: Draft shoreline master plan
I was appalled to hear that the preliminary draft of the shoreline master plan for Jefferson County
permits mining activities, including conveyor belts, piers, and barges on the conservancy shoreline of
Hood Canal. Since the Shorelines Hearings Board has already previously overturned this type of
application in the past, why, oh why would you even consider making it again? The precedence has
already been established for the maintenance of the existing state of the Canal. It already has enough
problems to deal with and adding this into the mix is just unconscionable. I want to express my alarm
and concern over this development and urge the Jefferson County Planning Commission 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. I am a very
regular user of the Hood Canal in a variety of capacities and would be outraged to see mining activities,
in any form, become the norm on Hood Canal.
