ATTENTION MASON COUNTY!
A recent flyer sponsored by the Mason County Department of Public Works and sent out to all Mason County residents, invites public input into storm water run off problems that are polluting our “water bodies”. According to the flyer, 66 bodies of water within Mason County do not, currently, meet state water quality standards, and another 90 exhibit some evidence of problems. The flyer goes on to beat the drum about how tourism and a shellfish industry that supports some 500 jobs depend on clean water.
Four public Open House Meetings are scheduled as follows:
1. Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM; Mason County Public Works Training Room B, 100 W. Public Works Drive, Shelton.
2. Thursday, December 2, 2010, 4:00 - 7:00 PM; Hoodsport Fire Hall, 331 North Finch Creek Rd., Hoodsport.
3. Monday, December 6, 2010, 6:00 - 9:00 PM; North Mason School District Administrative Office, 71 East Campus Drive, Belfair.
4. Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 4:00 - 6:30 PM; Little Skookum Community hall, 3480 SE Lynch Rd., Shelton.
The Open House Forum presents an excellent opportunity for the public to question the wisdom of introducing two more major sources of pollution into our waterways: The Adage and Simpson biomass fueled incinerators. In both instances, the run off from increased truck traffic and the incineration of hundreds or thousands of tons of biomass per year CANNOT BE CONTAINED!
DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOME SANITY INTO THE DISCUSSION OF HOW HARMFUL THESE FACILITIES WILL BE TO OUR COMMUNITY. BRING YOUR CONCERNS, YOUR PASSION AND YOUR FRUSTRATION. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
Were you able to attend, Tom?
