SubJect: Shoreline Master Plan needs amendment
Dear Sirs:
Jefferson County is currently updating its Shoreline Master Plan which we believe should be
amended to restrict mining activities, including conveyor belts, piers, and barges on the
Hood Canal. The entire Hood Canal shoreline is designated as a "Shoreline of State-Wide
Significance" this must be taken into consideration now, not after the fact. Our county has
enough mines to fullfil the needs of our communities. Mines bring our county little revenue
if the material is transported elsewhere.
We ask that you not only work with our legislators to amend the way our state taxes ore (at
the point of extraction rather than the point of sale ... please!) but equally as important, that
you deny mining companies the right to rape our county's natural resources unfettered.
Sincerely,
Jen and Harv Portz
