City of Shelton Issues Final Sepa Determination
Re: Simpson (Solomon) Biomass Cogeneration Facility

Good Afternoon.

You are receiving this e-mail because you have either expressed an interest in the Simpson (Solomon) Biomass Facility proposed on the Oakland Bay waterfront in Shelton Washington or you have submitted comments on the proposal or added your name to our notification list at the Public Informational Meeting regarding the proposal held on September 23, 2010.

The City of Shelton has issued a Final SEPA Determination regarding the proposed Simpson (Solomon) Biomass Cogeneration Facility to be located on the Simpson Lumber Mill site along the Oakland Bay waterfront in Shelton, Washington. Official public notice will appear in the Shelton Mason Journal and will be mailed to agencies with jurisdiction as well.

The determination and its attachments may be found by visiting the City of Shelton website at: http://www.ci.shelton.wa.us/. Scroll down on the front page to "In the News and In the Works" and there are a series of bullet points under the header "Simpson Lumber Shelton Biomass Cogeneration SEPA Determination - NEW March 24, 2011" which contains the SEPA documentation.

The required public hearing and hearing date for the proposal has not been set. The City of Shelton will provide separate legal notice when a date has been established.

Please contact me should you have questions or have trouble accessing the documents on the City's website.

  1. The first thing I noticed is that the Health Department document seems to be one for ADAGE. Nice.

  2. I have now printed all the lovely work the City put into its MDNS and I can hardly wait to dig into it.

    I am sure I will find that the citizens of Shelton, their health and welfare, especially the health of our children and our elderly, are addressed somewhere in these pages.

    I am confident that the city has taken into consideration our already compromised air quality, and that I will find they have recognized the cumulative effect of another biomass incinerator burning in tandem with the existing biomass incinerator.

    I just can't wait to see what gems are to be found amongst these pages, and to hear from my fellow air-breathers what they are finding.

    Happy reading, air-breathers.

    I wonder at the hubris of our city officials...don't they breathe this air? Don't they dislike sitting in traffic? Don't they eat shellfish from our waters?

    How can it have been determined that Adage would be an energy recovery plant and not S/S? How can slash have been waste five minutes ago, and a commodity now?

    The worst part for me was that citing together Olympic Panel,Simpson et al, and all their emissions, etc. doesn't matter...they are separately owned, so ORCAA doesn't have to consider the negatives/damages as cumulative?

    Perhaps my glass is just half empty today?

  4. It seems that the "MITIGATED" part of the MDNS means ONLY that Simpson would ONLY be allowed to run BOTH incinerators ONLY 3 MONTHS of the year...

    GEE, hOW can we express our appreciation to the City of Shelton for this BOOn???
