ADAGE WITHDRAWS SEPA & ORCAA PERMITS

GOOD NEWS!

ADAGE has emailed a notice of withdrawal
from both the SEPA & ORCAA permitting processes.
(The Port of Shelton is still resolving the Option to Lease.)

With your help and support, we have prevailed and the ADAGE plant will not be built! The community will not be subjected to the air pollution, loss of property values, damage to the fishery of Oakland Bay, and over 4000 truck trips a year!

Concerned Citizens of Mason County (CCMC) has incurred the costs of legal representation and expert technical consultants in air engineering in order to respond to the SEPA and ORCAA processes. As you know, CCMC has sued the Port of Shelton because they executed an irrevocable Option to Lease with ADAGE. It did not allow the Port to take into consideration new information discovered in the SEPA process.

CCMC still has work to do. The issue of zoning must be addressed. If zoning is not changed, then we most certainly will be facing a similar threat to our health by yet another polluting plant being proposed for an inappropriate site. This will require coordination with both Mason County and City of Shelton regulators. Public support will be essential.

For long term growth, the lack of political leadership at the County and Port level must be addressed. CCMC will not endorse candidates. We will, however, ask the necessary questions and evaluate a candidate's position. We will share this information with the community so that we all become better informed voters.

CCMC must raise significant funds before we can address new work.

PLEASE COME JOIN THE CELEBRATION!
(Volunteers are planning a wonderful meal and evening for your enjoyment.)
