Last Chance to Provide EIS Scoping Comments

[David MacLeod]

They stop accepting comments in regards to the proposed coal export terminal at Cherry Point after the 21st, so get them in now.

The easy way is to use their website form.

View other comments to get ideas - it's OK to say "I agree with what so and so said in comment#xxx, and I want this impact scoped."  And you can copy and paste the other comment.

I guess I was wrong about the cutoff for making comments.  They're still accepting them today until 5:00pm (1/22/13). 

Why is your comment important?

"It's time for all of us to provide backup for this, from our personal points of view.  This is important because even the most astute technical comments are just a technicality, and the most adroit legal arguments are just a legality, unless they are accompanied by a widespread expression of concern from the public (that's us!)."
