Jefferson County SHOULD NOT permit mining activities,
including conveyor belts, piers, and barges on the
conservancy shoreline of Hood Canal. The entire Hood
Canal shoreline is designated as a "Shoreline of State-Wide
Significance. "
Previous attempts to permit such an operation met with the
action being overturned by the Shorelines Hearings Board
which stated that:
"Intensive land uses or developments within the shoreline of
Hood Canal, a shoreline of state-wide significance, should be
discouraged or prohibited. It is difficult to perceive a use
more intensive and incompatible with the present shoreline
and aesthetics of Hood Canal than the construction proposed
by the Company. The pier, conveyor and barge facility will
intrude upon the magnificent grandeur that is now existent,
converting the natural characteristics and beauty of the
existing shoreline into one marred by this proposed industrial
enterprise. "
We should be even smarter and wiser today as we witness
the massive expense required to clean up the rest of puget
Sound. Hood Canal remains a pristine waterway, virtually
void of commercial shipping of any kind. It's shoreline is not
yet marred by industrialization. We should not allow private
interests, whose motives are purely financial, to destroy this
gift of nature.

Please 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.
