Port Townsend Paper Corporation (PTPC) was pleased to be invited to participate in the SMP
policy committee. We would like to submit two comments on the Revised Draft SMP.
1) PTPC respectfully submits that we have found an error with the proposed designations in the
SMP. The Aerated Stabilization Basin (ASB) (labeled as "Mill Pond" on the December 2008
Draft Official Shoreline Map) and the PTPC Industrial Freshwater Overflow Area (south of the
ASB) should not be classified as a lake, wetland or Shoreline of the State.
The PTPC ASB and Industrial Freshwater Overflow Area are integral parts of the manufacturing
process and are already subject to their own appropriate regulations.
As such, PTPC requests that these two industrial facilities be removed from the Shoreline
Designation of "Above OHWM: High Intensity" and instead these facilities be classified as "NA";
and that the western boundary of the CCC Shoreline should follow the existing beach and not
wrap around the western perimeter of the PTPC Industrial Freshwater Overflow Area.
2) PTPC fears that the restrictive approach of using the conservative buffers plus setbacks in
dealing with property usage will result in a program that will be litigated or circumvented. A more
moderate approach would result in more shorelines being protected.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Respectfully,
~vV~
