Planning Commission
Jefferson County
Port Townsend, W A
Please give careful consideration to eliminating all permits for mining and development activities
along the Jefferson County shoreline of Hood CanaL Allowing industrial elements, such as gravel
conveyors, piers and/or barge loading, in a pristine natural environment would irreversably harm Hood
CanaL As a rule-making body, you have a significant responsibility to preserve the essential elements of
our beautiful surroundings. If the Shoreline Master Plan does not specifically prohibit industrial
activities, unprincipled special interests will find ways to circumvent its requirements.
Along the Jefferson County shorelines of Hood Canal, please specifically prohibit activities such as
gravel crushing, screening, washing, stockpiling and/or loading on ships and/or barges. Insteady, those
(and similar) industrial activities should be restricted to well-defined high intensity shoreline zones
elsewhere in Jefferson County.
Our interest in your decisions is driven by our long-term interest in the health of Hood CanaL Aslong
time residents of this area, we understand how much has already been lost. The Shoreline Master
Program has the potential to halt those losses. Don't miss this opportunity!
Sincerely,
Kristie Langlow and Robert B. Kohn
