So why stay? The thing is Port Townsend is such a cool town, and it's so beautiful here. The people are so amazing and well I love it here. Plus for me it is a Spiritual Calling. However, whether we choose to stay or leave the smell and toxic air of Port Townsend or not, the Port Townsend Paper Mill is seemingly breaking the law and causing a public safety issue and environmental hazard and it's time to STOP.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I know many who have had to leave to get their children to safe air. This is a serious issue and seems to be something that Jefferson County is either unable or unwilling to tackle. Clearly the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act as well as our constitutional rights should trump the alleged "Smell of Money" YAP they use to keep poising the Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend Air, Whales, Otters, Babies, those in the local hospital, fish and wildlife, organic farms and all of us citizens who SHOULD have the legal rights to Clean Air, Clean Water and Clean Soil.</span><br />

"The following open letter was sent today to Governmental and Naval leaders on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border. As of 3/11/2012 it has been signed by 20 biologists and bioacousticians who have studied the killer whales of the Salish Sea. (When sent initially, 16 had signed).</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>Silence Sonar in the Salish Sea</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As biologists and bioacousticians who study killer whales of the Salish Sea, we ask that the U.S. Navy and Canadian Navy cease using sonar in their critical habitat. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Polluting their environment with intense underwater noise</span></b> like the “pings” from mid-frequency active sonar poses significant risks to these Federally-listed species.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #990000;">On February 6, 2012, the Canadian Naval frigate HMCS Ottawa used its sonar system in critical habitat of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales during a training exercise east of Victoria, B.C. </span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The calls of the Southern Residents’ K and L pods were heard 18 hours later in Haro Strait, and sub-groups of K and L pods were identified 36 hours after the sonar use<b><span style="color: blue;"> in Discovery Bay </span></b>– a location where Southern Residents have never been sighted in 22 years of records. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These observations are reminiscent of an incident in May, 2003, when the USS Shoup’s sonar training exercise caused similar unusual nearshore surface milling behavior of Southern Residents in Haro Strait.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New<b><span style="color: #990000;"> limits should be put on the use of mid-frequency active (MFA) sonar, particularly in the critical habitat of the Southern Residents.</span></b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Killer whales are sensitive to the frequencies emitted by MFA sonar </span></b>(2-10 kHz) and use the same frequency range to communicate with calls and whistles. Because MFA <b>sonar is intense</b> (source levels ~220-235 underwater decibels), it could permanently or temporarily deafen whales that are unexpectedly nearby and thereby impact their ability to forage, navigate, and socialize. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even temporary threshold shifts could be deleterious because the recovery of the Southern Residents hinges on their use of echolocation to find, identify, and acquire their primary prey, Pacific salmon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Current procedures for mitigating underwater<b><span style="color: blue;"> military noise</span></b> are inadequate to protect either the resident or transient ecotypes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These procedures depend on the ability to detect whales within 1000 yards (U.S.) or 4000 yards (Canada), which neither passive acoustic listening nor visual surveillance can reliably accomplish. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The<b><span style="color: blue;"> unprecedented sighting of Southern Residents in Discovery Bay suggests that they may have been present during the pre-dawn sonar exercise on February 6 while remaining undetected by the Canadian Navy’s marine mammal monitoring procedures. </span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moreover, we know from the 2003 Shoup incident and the scientific literature that MFA sonar can disrupt marine mammal behavior well beyond the current mitigation distances, particularly in the sound propagation conditions of the Salish Sea.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We therefore<span style="color: blue;"><b> urge the U.S. and Canadian Navies to restrict MFA sonar and other intense underwater sound sources in all training and testing conducted in the Salish Sea. </b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By protecting the whales’ acoustic habitat, our Navies can help further their respective country’s obligations to ensure the recovery of these endangered iconic populations while still fulfilling their important National security missions.</div>

Dear Mr. Millett,<br />
<br />
We are writing to join many other concerned local citizens regarding your decision to allow Electronic Warfare testing by the Navy on Olympic NF lands. As I'm sure is obvious to you by now, this project has come as a surprise to the residents of Clallam and Jefferson counties. Few members of the public subscribe to your SOPA (or are even aware of such a thing), few residents of these counties read the Gray's Harbor Daily World (which seems to be the only "local" newspaper you use to publish notices in), and there does not appear to have been any "other" effort to inform the general public of a project with the potential to raise substantial concerns. Not good public involvement, and not good public relations.<br />
<br />
From reading several newspaper articles over the past couple of weeks, there are many legitimate questions and concerns about the project. Much of this is probably a result of lack of solid information - but where is that information to come from but your agency? (It is your land, not the Navy's.) A few concerns:<br />
<br />
* has the Forest Service done any independent analysis, or have you just taken the Navy's analysis on<br />
face value?<br />
<br />
* what is really meant by "electromagnetic radiation"? This bald term seems to be scaring a lot of<br />
people. The public needs some clarification.<br />
<br />
* your DN/FONSI addresses several localized potential effects pretty well. A concern of many that is not even mentioned is the potential for aircraft overflights and possible increases in noise therefrom. (Oddly, the DN/FONSI doesn't say what happens to the radiation that is emitted from the sites - where does it go?)* what mitigation/safety measures will be used, and how will they make the project acceptable from your perspective?"<br />

Dear District Ranger Dean Milett and Forest Supervisor Rita Laford,<br />
I am writing you a second time because of my concerns regarding the Navy's plan to set up an electronic warfare testing site on Olympic National Forest Lands. I believe there would need to be more public information meetings on the Olympic Peninsula; Port Angeles\Sequim, and Port Townsend areas using local papers,the dates, times, and place of said meeting to answer our concerns. A representative from the Navy as well as the Forest Service could inform and answer questions..<br />
<br />
Withdrawing the DN/FONSI and addressing all comments received before going further is the wisest way to go.<br />
<br />
So many questions in my mind at this time and very little information; please continue this dialogue.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />

To Reta Laford,<br />
<br />
I understand you will most likely have the final say regarding the Navy's proposal to establish the Olympic Peninsula as an Electronic Warfare Range with a fixed emitter tower at Pacific Beach.<br />
There were three public meetings regarding this issue; at Forks, Port Angeles and last Wednesday at Pacific Beach. Although invited, no one from the US Forest Service was in attendance; not Greg Wahl or Dean Millett.<br />
<br />
This was particularly annoying since many of us in the large crowd had questions intended for the Forest Service. Instead, there were five personnel representing the Navy.<br />
<br />
Attached is my email sent to Congressman Derek Kilmer, Greg Wahl and Dean Millett on October 25, 2014 and was printed in it's entirety in the North Coast News on November 20, 2014.<br />

Why are the Navy and the Forest Service narrowing their focus to exclude potentially harmful -- perhaps deadly -- effects of these war games, when NEPA clearly states that the entire project and its impacts need to be included?<br />
<br />
Exactly how much radiation will be projected from each of the Growler jets in one day's training?<br />
Why is the Forest Service not demanding full transparency and full disclosure as Federal law mandates?<br />
<br />
Why is the Forest Service considering issuance of a permit that is in direct violation of the Forest Service's Mission Statement.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance for your answer to these questions.<br />

the Olympic National Forest is YOUR FOREST. You pay for them to Violate your RIGHTS."By Nicholas Johnson of the Leader<br />
<br />
<b>Let the waiting begin.</b><br />
<br />
The public's chance to comment on the U.S. Navy's bid to use roads in the Olympic National Forest to train fighter jet pilots in detecting enemy electronic signals ended on Nov. 28, and U.S. Forest Service officials say it won't be extended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some 3,048 comments have been submitted, 80 of which came in after the deadline. They can be reviewed at the Forest Service's online reading room at<a href="http://bit.ly/12sa2Pu" target="_blank"> bit.ly/12sa2Pu</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public/ReadingRoom?List-size=25&Project=42759&SearchResultsPerPage=25&List-page=1">https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public/ReadingRoom?List-size=25&Project=42759&SearchResultsPerPage=25&List-page=1</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public/ReadingRoom?List-size=25&Project=42759&SearchResultsPerPage=25&List-page=1" target="_blank">Dean Millett</a>, the Forest Service ranger responsible for deciding whether to permit the Navy's use of forest roads, said the Pacific Ranger District office in Forks is now turning its attention to reviewing comments, and he doesn't expect it to go quickly.<br />
<br />
His final decision, which he hopes to make by mid-2015, "is not going to happen real soon."<br />
"Well, we've got more than 3,000 comments, so I'm sure there are some issues in there that we're going to have to look at," Millett said, acknowledging that only those deemed substantive will be considered in his review of the Navy's environmental assessment and its finding that the proposed use of those roads would have no significant impact on the natural environment or human communities.<br />
By definition, a substantive comment raises, debates or questions the accuracy or adequacy of specific facts or policies, and attempts to offer some reasonable alternatives to information cited or methods used in the environmental assessment.<br />
<br />
"We consider all comments, but substantive ones provide reasoning," Millett said. "Just saying 'I don't like this project' and moving on is not particularly useful."<br />
<br />
CALLING IN BACKUP<br />
<br />
Millet said he is thinking of calling in the Forest Service's TEAMS Enterprise Unit, a group created in 1994 that now boasts some 150 agency employees who assist with tasks too cumbersome for any regional office's staff resources.<br />
<br />
"They're a good source if you have a one-time need for something," he said, such as performing a comprehensive content analysis on public comments. "They specialize in that kind of work, and we don't have the staffing to go through all that in a timely manner. We have other projects we have to be working on."<br />
<br />
Of those 80 comments submitted after the deadline, Millet said they would be reviewed in the event something substantive is brought up, but "at some point you have cut things off."<br />
<br />
Reviewing comments "may direct us toward doing additional analysis," he said, but he may also decide the original analysis in the Navy's environmental assessment remains sufficient.<br />
<br />
Millet will eventually issue a second decision notice on whether to issue a permit, after which those who submitted comments will have 45 days to object to Millett's supervisor, <a href="http://www.retalaford.com/" target="_blank">Reta Laford</a>, before a permit is issued. Only those who submitted a comment prior to Nov. 28 will have standing to object at that time.<br />
<br />
PUSHING ON<br />
<br />
The Forest Service's decision not to extend the public comment period comes after the Jefferson County Democratic Party called on elected officials on Nov. 18 to push for a more robust public process and production of a full environmental impact statement (EIS).<br />
<br />
<b>Karen Sullivan of Port Townsend</b>, a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee, helped pen the party's resolution. She said she's not surprised the Forest Service did not extend its public comment period, yet intends to continue her research into how the Navy's plan got to this point.<br />
<br />
"How did we get here with the public so unaware of all this, and how did the Navy allow this to happen?" she asked. "If we understand the process, it could provide some background for a legal challenge down the road. If there have been flaws in <b>the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] </b>process along the way that are objectionable, we need to know this. It's like an Easter egg hunt, trying to find these nuggets of information and then add them up."<br />
<br />
Sullivan, who submitted 11 comments and will have standing to object, is working to create a timeline of the process, but said she has run into roadblocks in getting related environmental review documents from the Navy dating back as far as 1989. It's that history, she thinks, that could lead to legal challenge.<br />
<br />
Sullivan has questioned several areas of the Navy's environmental assessment, pointing out what she considers to be deficiencies in the state Department of Fish and Wildlife's biological opinion, for example. But she knows getting up to speed can be tough for many.<br />
<br />
"We are at a stage where we still need to do a tremendous amount of public education, because all these issues have been split into separate parts and are difficult to understand," she said, pointing to the Navy's simultaneous bid to add 36 EA-18G Growler jets to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island's current fleet of 82. That proposal is in the scoping phase, which comes prior to compiling a draft environmental impact statement, and the Navy is now taking public comments through Jan. 9, 2015, after extending that deadline from Nov. 24.<br />
<br />
BACKGROUND<br />
<br />
The Navy wants permission to send utility trucks outfitted with mobile emitters of electromagnetic radiation to 15 preselected sites on the Olympic Peninsula's west end, 12 of which are on forest roads.<br />
Growler jet pilots would then fly over in groups of three, with a lead jet trying to pick up on those electronic signals coming from the emitters as training in identifying enemy communications.<br />
The $11.5 million project would be the Navy's first use of mobile emitters of electromagnetic radiation for training that pilots currently simulate with internal aircraft controls.<br />
The Navy proposes to begin this training in September 2015.<br />
<br />
Public meetings in Forks on Oct. 14, in Port Angeles on Nov. 6 and in Pacific Beach on Nov. 19 drew hundreds of people, almost all of whom opposed the project. Comments made during those meetings were not recorded, thus won't be considered by Forest Service officials.

If you want to<span style="color: blue;"><b> SUE the Port Townsend Paper Mill</b></span> for polluting your air and water, here are a few Pro Se Tips. <b>You don't need an attorney</b>. This is NOT legal advice, it is simply research material and a place to start.<br />
<br />
<b>In my opinion</b> you can sue in Federal court right away, NOT State Court. You can File in Olympia and you can also file or instead of in say New York where the mill owner, I believe is, Mineral Technologies.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>In my research and opinion, you do not need a lawyer to file a civil lawsuit. </b></div>
<br />
The forms you will need, in my opinion and experience are a Civil Cover Sheet, the Actual Complaint, a Motion to File in Forma Pauperis (as a poor person for Free), a Motion requesting electronic access and possible the form to waive summons, you may have to pay to serve the defendants.<br />
<br />
Below are some ideas and research links to give you a direction to head to SUE Mineral Technologies and the State of Washington for Poisoning you.<br />

You will Need the Following in my Opinion; This is NOT legal advice just online research from a citizen with Pro Se experience.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Civil Cover Sheet<br />
<br />
* A motion filing "In Forma Pauperis"<br />
<br />
* A motion asking the court for electronic service so you can file online like attorneys do. If they say no then you will have to mail motions.<br />
<br />
* The actual Complaint<br />

Majestic glacier-clad peaks rise above temperate rainforest-covered hills.<br />
<br />
Gorgeous rivers tumble down from the heights and the areas are home to several types of plants and animal species that exist nowhere else on earth.<br />
<br />
These protected national commons are also the areas in and near where the US Navy aims to conduct its <b>Northwest Electromagnetic Radiation Warfare training program</b>, wherein it will fly 36 of its EA-18G "Growler" supersonic jet warplanes down to 1,200 feet above the ground in some areas in order to conduct war games with 14 mobile towers.<br />
<br />
Enough electromagnetic radiation will be emitted so as to be capable of melting human eye tissue, and causing breast cancer, childhood leukemia and damage to human fetuses, let alone impacting wildlife in the area.<br />
<br />
What is at stake is not just whether the military is allowed to use protected public lands in the Pacific Northwest for its war games, but a precedent being set for them to do so across the entire country.<br />
If it gets its way, this means the Navy would be flying Growler jets, which are electronic attack aircraft that specialize in radar jamming, in 2,900 training exercises over wilderness, communities and cities across the Olympic Peninsula for 260 days per year, with exercises lasting up to 16 hours per day."<br />

The Olympic National Forest Supervisor, Reta Laford is a NEPA Expert.<b><span style="color: blue;">"Unanswered Questions about how the Olympic War Zone will harm people and wildlife"</span></b><br />
<br />
"In Part 1 of this study, we described a plan by the US Navy to turn the Olympic Peninsula on the northwest corner of Washington State into an electronic warfare zone. In this section, we will review a series of unanswered questions about how this war plan might harm people and wildlife now living on the Olympic Peninsula.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>List of Unanswered Questions Requires Extending the Comment Period</b><br />
<br />
We believe that the public should submit substantial written comments asking the Forest Service to extend the comment period by 60 additional days to February 1 2014 to allow the public time to seek answers to numerous questions that have no been addressed <b>in the Navy’s Environmental Assessment. </b><br />
<br />
The public needs time to fairly evaluate the 5,000 pages of technical documentation used by the Navy in their Environmental Assessment plus more than 3,000 pages of public comment on the proposal.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: blue;">We also need time to seek out answers to many unanswered questions including:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
1. What are the <b>potential adverse long term health effects</b> on people and wildlife of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Navy’s new Growler aircraft and ground transmitters?<br />
<br />
2. What are the<b> adverse economic impacts</b> to the people of the Olympic Peninsula and to the people of Washington State that would result from turning the Olympic Mountains into an electronic warfare range?<br />
<br />
3. What is the closest elevation that a Growler aircraft would come to humans and wildlife in the <a href="http://retalaford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Olympic National Forest</a>? Is it really 1,200 feet (or less than one quarter of one mile)?<br />
<br />
4. What is the maximum noise level that might result from Growler aircraft that are only 1200 feet above the surface? Is it really more than 140 decibels?<br />
<br />
5. Would the maximum noise level of Growler aircraft cause serious harm to humans and/or wildlife in the Olympic peninsula?<br />
<br />
6. Would the combination of <b>increased electromagnetic radiation</b> and/or increased noise lead to the extinction of endangered species such as spotted owls and marbled murrelets?<br />
<br />
7.<b><span style="color: #990000;"> Is the Forest Service legally allowed to grant a Special Use Permit without holding official recorded public hearings in the communities of citizens who would be adversely affected by such a permit?</span></b><br />
<br />
8. Have other affected agencies received adequate notice about his project? For example, the Navy claims it notified the <b>Washington State DNR</b> about this project. However, officials at the Washington State DNR claims that they were not notified.<br />
<br />
They further claim that they have not granted the Navy a permit to use the 3 sites on State DNR forest land that have been indicated in the Navy EA. It is essential that agencies such as the State DNR and National Park Service be allowed time to review this proposal and provide comments on it.<br />
<br />
9. Have elected officials in Washington State received adequate notice about this project?<br />
<br />
One Congress person, <b>Derek Kilmer</b>, stated that he was notified but decided to<b><span style="color: blue;"> take no position</span></b> on this issue. However, this proposal not only affects the economic viability of the Olympic Peninsula, it affects the economic viability of the entire State of Washington.<br />
<br />
People who visit the Olympic Peninsula fly in from all over the world and land at Seatac airport near Seattle. They stay at Seattle hotels and eat at Seattle restaurants.<br />
<br />
They ride on the Washington State ferry system to the Kitsap Peninsula and then drive across the Hood Canal Bridge to the Olympic Peninsula. The total economic loss of this project could be $100 or more times more than three million tourists – or more than $300 million – a huge loss for the State of Washington.<br />
<br />
Yet there has been<b> no statement by the Governor of Washington and no statement by any member of the State legislature nor any statement by any other member of the Washington State Congressional Delegation on this project.</b><br />
<br />
The people need time to seek comment from our elected officials as to whether they support or oppose this project before granting a permit on it.<br />
<br />
10. If the Forest Service elects to ignore the harmful economic and environment effects that would occur by granting this permit, what is the process to appeal this decision? Is it true that a person or group must submit written comments opposing this project in order to have standing to appeal the decision? What is the appeal process? Who would the appeal be submitted to and when would the appeal need to be submitted by?<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Official Recorded Public Hearings are Urgently Needed</span></b></div>
<br />
In addition to requesting that the Forest Service extend the Public Comment period to February 1 2015 in order to allow the public and our elected officials time to seek answers to these important questions, we should request that the Forest Service hold official Public Hearings on the proposal not only in affected communities in the Olympic Peninsula (such as Forks, Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend), but also in affected communities across Washington State.<br />
<br />
NEPA requires that official public hearings be held in all communities that might be adversely affected by a decision of any federal agency.<br />
<br />
It is obvious that citizens in Seattle would be adversely impacted by this decision as there have been almost as many comments from Seattle citizens posted on the Forest Service Public Comment webpage as there have been comments from Olympic Peninsula citizens posted on the Public Comment webpage.<br />
<br />
In particular, a Public Hearing should be held in Seattle Washington early in January 2015 in order to allow Seattle residents and elected officials to provide input to the Forest Service before the Forest Service makes a decision on this issue.<br />
<br />
Holding a hearing in Seattle in early January would allow citizens in Seattle to provide written comments to the Forest Service by a February 1 2015 deadline.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Why is NEPA Important? </span></b></div>
<br />
NEPA refers to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Through this Act, the federal government recognized “each generation’s responsibility to act as a trustee of the environment for future generations.”<br />
<br />
The Act mandates a coordination of all Federal plans, agencies, resources, policies, actions to put the protection of the environment as a law, in order to “assure for all Americans safe, healthful, productive and esthetically and culturally pleasing surroundings”, “without degradation, risk to health or safety, or other undesirable or unintended consequences” (42 U.S. Code 4331). <br />
<br />
A military program of electronic warfare on public land qualifies as a major federal action and is thus subject to a public process under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, or NEPA. This process includes hearings in affected communities whenever there is environmental controversy.<br />
<br />
These hearings must be in accordance with NEPA guidelines, which safeguard the public’s right to be heard. In addition, NEPA requires that federal agencies provide the latest available scientific evidence to back up any statements. This evidence must be thorough, accurate, and available for public scrutiny. Under the NEPA rules, your public comments must mention how the Navy’s EA violated NEPA.<br />
<br />
This will make your comments “substantive”. Put the name of the project in heading:<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">PACIFIC NORTHWEST ELECTRONIC WARFARE RANGE. </span></b><br />
<br />
To be part of the process, it is extremely important that submit your written comments at the Forest Service website before the deadline of November 28 2014 in order for you and your concerns to “have standing” which means that you will be able to comment LATER if/when there are appeals concerning the decision.<br />
<br />
If you have already submitted comments, you can submit additional comments and include “substantive” objections. It is not required to include all the details of the argument.<br />
<br />
Just point out that the Navy’s Environmental Assessment is in violation of a specific aspect of <b>NEPA. </b><br />
<br />
Any grievances the public has about electromagnetic warfare testing and training MUST be addressed in public comments first, in order to have legal standing, which means the Forest Service and the Navy were given notice that these grievances should be addressed.<br />
<br />
If grievances are not rectified, any legal actions that follow would have more authority, because the Navy had been aware of the grievances yet chose not to address them.<br />
<br />
Without legal standing, those legal actions on behalf of the public would likely have less authority due to the implication of no notice of grievance being given in public comments. NEPA is important because federal “agencies must address concerns regarding biodiversity and ecosystems within the EIS process.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, the final EIS may be voided by a reviewing court, and the agency would be forced to refrain from its contemplated action while a new EIS is prepared.”<b><span style="color: blue;"> NEPA requires that agencies take a “hard look” at the environmental effects</span></b> of their planned activities, even after a proposal has received initial approval.<br />
<br />
Application of the “rule of reason” thus turns on the value of the new information to the still pending decision making process…<br />
<br />
If there remains “major Federal Action]” to occur, and if the new information is sufficient to show that the remaining action will “affect the quality of the human environment” in a significant manner or to a significant extent not already considered, a supplemental EIS must be prepared.”<br />
<br />
“Rule of reason” ‘ set forth by the Supreme Court in Marsh v. Oregon Natural Resources Council. The court concluded that an environmental assessment that did not fully address issues critical to the survival of the spotted owl was not a valid assessment.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The mayor of Port Townsend, David King, stated:</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>“We haven’t received a formal notice of any kind about the development of an environmental impact statement. We have no knowledge of what they are doing.”</b></span><br />
<br />
Some of the NEPA violations of the Navy electronic warfare plan include:<br />
<br />
1. The Navy violated NEPA by their failure to adequately notify the public about their project. Neither the Navy nor the Forest Service placed a single notice in any local papers serving Olympic Peninsula communities. Thus the public did not receive adequate notice.<br />
<br />
2. The Navy and the Forest Service violated NEPA by failing to hold public hearings and record public comments and allow sufficient time for comments and questions (normally regarded to be three minutes for all wishing to make comments). Instead, comments and questions were not recorded, were limited to only one minute and delaying tactics were used to deny more than half of those who attended an “informational” meeting to ask a question or make a comment. Hundreds of people were denied the right to have standing because their comments were not heard and/or not recorded. The public’s right to a full hearing is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR, and in the State of Washington Revised Code, at RCW 42.30. <br />
<br />
According to NEPA regulations, public meetings or hearings “…are required when there may be substantial environmental controversy concerning the environmental effects of the proposed action, a substantial interest in holding the meeting, or a request for a meeting by another agency with jurisdiction over the action.” (40 CFR 1506.6 (c)). Proper hearings under NEPA have not been held in affected communities, and the usual citizen’s right to register comments at public hearings has been denied. This is a denial of due process as stipulated in NEPA. Therefore the Navy and the Forest Service have violated NEPA.<br />
<br />
3.<span style="color: blue;"><b> The Navy violated NEPA by not notifying or consulting with Olympic National Park</b></span>. This project will severely impact the wilderness experience for millions of visitors to the Park every year. By law, the National Park should have been consulted when the Navy was drafting their plans.<br />
<br />
4. <b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy violated NEPA</span></b> by not notifying or consulting with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. According to the State DNR, they were also not notified. Here is an edited version of a letter written by DNR staff:<br />
<br />
Thanks for reaching out to me today on concerns regarding Navy electronic warfare training operations in the Olympic Peninsula on state lands managed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The US Navy has not applied to DNR to use state lands in their proposed electronic warfare exercises.<br />
<br />
They have no permission to do so from us, nor have they asked. At this point, it is not something that is under consideration unless there were such a proposal. Since we saw DNR being mentioned in this context, we wrote the attached letter to the Navy (please excuse the draft version; a signed version has been sent but I don’t have it handy).<br />
<br />
In the letter, we made it explicit that we have not agreed to participate; that we have not decided to agree to participate if an application were filed; and that any proposal would have to comply with various environmental public processes and that we would have to assess any proposal to make sure that the proposed vetting process is sufficiently broad and thorough.<br />
<br />
We also made it clear that these new exercises could not happen on existing Navy leases on state lands without further permitting. I hope this helps clear things up. <b>Matthew Randazzo,</b> Senior Advisor to the Commissioner of Public Lands Washington State Department of Natural<br />
Resources (DNR)360-902-1099<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Matthew.Randazzo@dnr.wa.govwww.dnr.wa.gov</span></b><br />
<br />
5. <b><span style="color: #990000;">The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA</span></b> by not using the most recent and “best available science” in their conclusion that there will be “No Significant Impact” from chronic radiation as a result of their project.<br />
<br />
Thousands of recent, peer-reviewed studies suggest there are very real harmful effects— both to humans and to wildlife— from man-made electromagnetic fields. In Section 2.1.1.4 of the Navy EA, the Navy claims that the noise and RF radiation from mobile emitters will not impact what the Environmental Assessment calls Biological Resources. This claim is based entirely on the premise that the mobile emitters are moving around the forest, so exposure at any one site is limited.<br />
<br />
However, the 3 mobile units will be in operation from 8 to 16 hours per day, 260 days per year, among 15 different sites on the Olympic Peninsula.<br />
<br />
According to the Navy EA, each mobile emitter site will average 11 training events per day, which also includes electronic detection and attack weapons from jets.<br />
<br />
This is an average of 468 hours of electromagnetic radiation per site per year, or 195, 24-hour days per decade.<br />
<br />
The Department of the Interior has criticized the FCC’s standards for cellphone radiation to be outmoded and no longer applicable as they do not adequately protect wildlife. See this 2014 study:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/us_doi_comments.pdf">http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/us_doi_comments.pdf</a><br />
<br />
In addition, this project is to take place in critical habitats for species threatened with extinction, the Marbled Murrelet and the Northern Spotted Owl. Studies have not been conducted to investigate how this project might diminish these species chances to avoid extinction.<br />
<br />
6. <b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA</span></b> by failing to address the impacts this electromagnetic radiation will have on birds, bees, butterflies, and bats as well as the multitude of other small animals and insects.<br />
<br />
Because the current worldwide <b>Bee Colony Collapse is such a threat to our food security</b>, the President of the United States has called for all government agencies, including the Department of Defense, to make the protection of pollinators a critical priority. Scientists have found that man-made Electromagnetic Radiation radically disrupts bees’ ability to navigate and find their way back to their hives.<br />
<br />
Not only are there acknowledged threatened bird species in the area of the training range, the coastal area of the Olympic Peninsula is highly important to migrating birds on the Pacific flyway during the spring, late summer, and fall. Migrating birds would be affected by electromagnetic waves and loud sounds of aircraft.<br />
<br />
These birds would include shorebirds of all types, including geese, ducks, etc. Without additional studies, these could seriously compromise the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty.<br />
<br />
The problem with electromagnetic pulse radiation (also called electromagnetic beam radiation) is also not adequately by the Navy: “beams of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., from EW training) may expose birds in flight to increased levels of radiation; however, the birds in flight would be moving through the area and potentially out of the area of the main beam, once again keeping them from continuous or long duration exposure (especially since non-soaring birds have relatively quick air speeds); and the beam pattern emitted is directional, which minimizes the area exposed to radiation. For these reasons, long term consequences to individual marbled murrelets and northern spotted owls or populations are not expected to result from proposed training activities.”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy supplies no studies (as are required by NEPA)</span></b> to back up this contention. The sites designated by the plan are on National Forest land. Some of which has been designated as protected areas for spotted owl and marbled murrelet. Marbled murrelets travel up to 50 miles from the forests on the coast to the sea to feed their young.<br />
<br />
Extensive flight training [up to for 12 hours a day, up to 260 days a year] in this area would disturb, perhaps eradicate, these threatened birds. Scientists declare the need for further study on the subject of the impacts of towers and emitting radiation on migratory birds. i.e. “This briefing paper addresses the need to cumulatively assess the impacts of communication towers on migratory birds both from collisions and radiation, especially neotropical migratory songbirds that are most impacted (Shire et al. 2000).<br />
<br />
The paper discusses some suggested research protocols needed to conduct a nationwide cumulative impacts analysis that would assess effects of tower collisions and radiation on avifauna and on other wildlife pollinators including bats and bees.” [Briefing Paper on the Need for Research into the Cumulative Impacts of Communication Towers on Migratory Birds and Other Wildlife in the United States Division of Migratory Bird Management (DMBM), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service – for Public Release LAST UPDATED: April 17, 2009].<br />
<br />
Because there is insufficient knowledge about the effects of electromagnetic waves on living organisms, we ask that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be provided for this proposal. Over one billion birds fly up and down the Pacific Coast each year on the Pacific Flyway. <br />
<br />
Many of these birds might also be adversely impacted by the daily war games on the Washington Coast.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://conservation.audubon.org/pacific-flyway">http://conservation.audubon.org/pacific-flyway</a><br />
<br />
7. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by not addressing the noise impact from the airplanes: The “soundscape” of Olympic National Park and the surrounding wilderness areas will be severely impacted by squadrons of noisy warplanes practicing overhead most days of the year. This noise will also greatly impact thousands of citizens’ “quality of life” who are forced to live directly underneath these practices. The Navy EA does not discuss the intensity of aircraft noise generated by this project.<br />
<br />
There is no reporting of the noise that would be created by the jets while flying in the training range or the noise created by jets flying to and from the training range. There is no analysis of the impact that noise might have on endangered species other than the following:<br />
<br />
<b>“3.2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES</b><br />
<br />
Noise from vehicle travel, generators/operation of emitters, and temporary demolition/construction (during the renovation of Building 104 and the construction of the MRES tower), may disturb wildlife…<br />
<br />
As discussed in the Affected Environment section, the ESA-listed bird species that may occur in this portion of the project area are the northern spotted owl, and the marbled murrelet. Critical habitat has been designated for both species, and the Proposed Action overlaps with this critical habitat (Figure 3.2-5 and Figure 3.2-6).<br />
<br />
The two stressors that could impact the birds are noise and electromagnetic radiation.”<br />
<br />
ESA-Listed Birds: Marbled murrelets and Northern spotted owls in the project area may be temporarily disturbed by noise associated with the Proposed Action. While owls and murrelets may be disturbed by a wide variety of human activities, the USFWS has anticipated that harassment (or “take”) would occur when the species exhibit behavior that suggests that the safety or survival of the species is at risk, or that a reproductive effort is potentially lost or compromised (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2006).<br />
<br />
These behaviors could include species flushing from the nest during incubation, brooding, or fledging, all of which could lead to egg failure or reduced juvenile survival. Abandonment of the nest during a feeding or delaying a feeding could also lead to reduced survival of the juvenile.<br />
<br />
Recent biological opinions for forest management activities in the Olympic National Forest have noted that these behaviors are likely to occur when (1) aircraft noise exceeds 92 decibels Sound Exposure Level (SEL) at a nest site, or aircraft approach within a distance of 110 yards (yd.), whichever is greater; and (2) ground-based activity occurs during the nesting season within 100 m (110 yd.) of a nest site” (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2013). [PACIFIC NORTHWEST EW RANGE EA FINAL (SEPTEMBER 2014]”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy fraudulently claimed in their EA that their Growler Jets</span></b> will have a noise level of 65 – well below the 85 decibels which can lead to permanent hearing loss and well below 92 decibels that would trigger a review.<br />
<br />
In fact, numerous measurements including those taken by the Navy’s own auditor confirm that the Growler Jets emit noise between 120 to 150 decibels. Here is a link to one of these studies confirming Growler jets with noise levels as high as 134 decibels:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://citizensofebeysreserve.com/References/Files/JGL%20Noise%20Report.pdf">http://citizensofebeysreserve.com/References/Files/JGL%20Noise%20Report.pdf</a><br />
<br />
The Navy has promised that the minimum altitude they will be flying over land is 1200 feet. That has been frequently contradicted by hikers on mountainous forest trails, who have reported seeing jets fly past beneath them. According to the Navy’s own figures, a Growler jet flying at 1000 feet produces a “Single Event Level” of 113 decibels, which is enough to damage hearing and cause medical problems in people subjected to it. In the Roosevelt-Okanogan Military Training Area the Navy is authorized to fly at 300 feet above ground level. It is not clear what would prevent them from authorizing that lower altitude in the Olympic National Forest.<br />
<br />
As a result of the Navy’s apparent underestimation of sound levels caused by jets, the effects of loud noise on threatened and endangered species in the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Biological Opinion for the Navy, which was begun in 2009 and issued in 2010, may be based on inaccurate or misleading information from the Navy. If this is indeed the case, that the Fish and Wildlife Service was given inaccurate or misleading information on which to base its evaluation of biological impacts, then the Biological Opinion should be considered invalid and formal consultation re-initiated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, using actual sound measurements from real jets.<br />
<br />
Providing deliberately misleading information to a federal agency is also considered a form of fraud or false statement under US Code, Chapter 47. There may be other applicable laws that were violated.<br />

“Sailors aboard Navy ships, submarines, and aircraft conduct ES and EA training as they search for, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future operations. “(EA 2-7)<br /></div>

However, the environmental assessment references Joint Publication 3-13.1, Electronic Warfare, 08 February 2012 as a source document. This document provides the exact same explanation as above for Electronic Support (ES). But it then goes into more detail with an explanation of electronic attack (EA). Joint Publication 3-13.1 defines Electronic Attack as follow: “EA refers to the division of EW involving the use of EM energy, DE (directed energy), or anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability…”<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif, sans-serif, 'Courier New'; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Directed energy is defined as: “An umbrella term covering technologies that relate to the production of a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles. ” (GL6) “Examples include lasers, electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), and radio frequency (RF) weapons such as high-power microwave (HPM) or those employing an EMP. (I-4) Now it’s getting serious. Additionally, Joint Publication 3-13-1 also speaks to unintended consequences of EW: “Unintended Consequences. EW planners must coordinate EW efforts … to minimize unintended consequences, collateral damage, and collateral effects. Friendly EA could potentially deny essential services to a local population that, in turn, could result in loss of life and/or political ramifications.” (III-5)</div>

Certainly the Navy’s deliberately hiding of the fact that humans could be killed during their electronic warfare games was a violation of NEPA.<br /></div>

9. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by failing to address Pollution: The Navy did not address the pollution, both chemical and electromagnetic, that would be produced from the airplanes flying 12 hours per day 260 days per year with more than one thousand flights per year. The pollution from just one of these warplanes is tremendous.<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif, sans-serif, 'Courier New'; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
10. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by failing to address Land-use: NEPA and Forest Service regulations require that any new uses of public lands be compatible with existing uses. Since the early 1900s, these pristine regions and forests have provided critical habitat and protected sanctuary for wildlife. This area, long used by millions of visitors every year for recreation, will radically be altered by the Navy’s project. The noise, the pollution, and the electromagnetic radiation would destroy any wilderness experience.<br /></div>

11. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by failing to address economic and social impacts: <b>The Navy EA violates NEPA because</b> it provided no economic analysis of the economic benefits or costs of the project other than to note that the Navy would save $5 million per year on fuel costs. However, the project could cost citizens who live on the Olympic Peninsula between $246 million to $500 million in economic losses. Visitors to the Olympic National Park are a driving force of the economies of this region. Degrading the Park, as this project threatens to do, thus could have a huge negative impact on the entire area. Over 3 million yearly visitors to the area. A National Park Service (NPS) report issued in July of this year showed that in 2013, 3,085,340 visitors to Olympic National Park spent $245,894,100 in communities near the park.<br /><br />That spending directly supported 2,993 jobs in the local area and indirectly supported thousands of additional jobs.<br /></div>

12. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by failing to analyze increased fire danger resulting from jet and drone crashes. This is particularly concerning since the new Growler jets are known to crash ten times more frequently than the older Prowler jets they are replacing.<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, serif, sans-serif, 'Courier New'; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
13. The Navy Environmental Assessment (EA) violated NEPA by not addressing future and cumulative impacts of the project. Federal Law requires that these be fully disclosed and analyzed.<br /></div>

14. The Forest Service violated NEPA by failing to conduct their own independent research. At the Port Angeles meeting, District Ranger Dean Millett acknowledged and is recorded on videotape saying that the Forest Service did not conduct any independent investigation to verify the Navy’s claims of no significant impacts.<br /><br />This violates the Forest Service’s own policies as well as NEPA. The US Forest Service has a duty to conduct its own independent scientific review of the impacts of activities that it allows. An agency cannot simply adopt the conclusions of another agency.<br /></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4em;">In Foundation for North American Wild Sheep V. US Department of Agriculture, the Ninth Circuit Court said, “the very purpose of NEPA’s requirement that an EIS be prepared for all actions that may significantly affect the environment is to obviate the need for such speculation by insuring that available data is gathered and analyzed prior to the implementation of the proposed action.” 681 F.2d at 1179. </span></div>

In Warm Springs Dam Task Force V. Gribble, the Court held that an agency cured the defect in its EIS by commissioning a study about the effects of a newly discovered fault system on that dam. 621 F.2d at 1025-26. Other courts have imposed similar requirements on agencies. See, e.g., Rankin v. Coleman, 394 F.Supp. 647, 658 (highway project enjoined for inadequate EIS on effects and alternatives; alternatives must be “affirmatively studied”), mod. 401 F.Supp. 664 (E.D.N.C.1975); Montgomery v. Ellis, 364 F.Supp. 517, 528 (N.D.Ala.1973) (“NEPA requires each agency to undertake research needed adequately to expose environmental harms and, hence, to appraise available alternatives”) (project enjoined pending preparation of an adequate EIS); Brooks v. Volpe, 350 F.Supp. 269, 279 (“NEPA requires each agency to indicate the research needed to adequately expose environmental harms”), supplemented, 350 F.Supp. 287 (W.D.Wash.1972), aff’d, 487 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir.1973); Environmental Defense Fund v. Hardin, 325 F.Supp. 1401, 1403 (D.D.C.1971) (interpreting section 102(2)(A) as making “the completion of an adequate research program a prerequisite to agency action …. The Act envisions that program formulation will be directed by research results rather than that research programs will be designed to substantiate programs already decided upon”) If the information relevant to adverse impacts is essential to a reasoned choice among alternatives and is not known, and the overall costs of obtaining it are not exorbitant, the agency shall include the information in the environmental impact statement.</div>

14. <span style="color: blue;"><b>Missing and incomplete documents.</b></span> Though the Forest Service’s NEPA home page links to the Navy’s Environmental Assessment and its decision documents, neither it nor the Navy web pages contain links to the 2010 EIS, which was removed from public access by the Navy, or the previous EIS’s going back to 1989 that have been cited by the Navy in meetings, or the Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2010 Biological Opinion, which is not posted anywhere, or to the temporary permit that was issued by the Forest Service to the Navy three years ago, or to the Memorandum of Understanding that declared military training to be an “appropriate use” of national forest lands, or to supporting documents referenced in the Navy’s Environmental Assessment, such as Joint Publication 3-13.1, which describes the methods and intent of electronic attack weapons on the Growler jets that will be training in the Olympic National Forest. </div>

This is a violation of NEPA, which says such pertinent documents shall be made available to the public for scrutiny. (18CFR 380.9). Moreover, an explanation of the Forest Service’s own updated NEPA handbook says, “…<b>NEPA</b> procedures regulations [sic] are intended to let interested parties become more effectively engaged in the decision making process rather than merely as reviewer of proposals and final documents. Specifically, the regulations include an option for responsible officials to incrementally develop, modify, and document proposed actions and alternatives through an open and transparent process.”</div>

In addition, the Navy Proposal violates the National Forest Management Act and Forest Plan. The Forest Service’s Mission Statement is “Caring for the land and serving people.” The Forest Service’s own regulations state that military use of public lands is not permissible if the military has other “suitable and available” lands for their Proposed Action, and Forest Service management policy states that when considering issuing such a permit, “…the interests and needs of the general public shall be given priority over those of the applicant.” </div>

The Navy has not adequately demonstrated that it has not investigated the use of private or other lands, and its reasons for wanting to move the electronic warfare program from Mountain Home, Idaho to the Olympic National Forest just to save fuel is not an adequate reason to destroy the quality of life of millions of people, destroy the economy and destroy endangered species.<br /></div>

The Navy Growler Aircraft is a new aircraft built by Boeing that became fully operational in 2012. There are currently 80 Growler aircraft but the long term plan is to have 114 of these aircraft. The Boeing EA-18G Growler Aircraft are replacing the Northtup EA-6B Prowler aircraft which were much quieter than this new generation of electronic warfare aircraft.</div>

There has been a great deal of debate over the massive noise and electromagnetic radiation emitted by this new aircraft. People have claimed that the noise and radiation emitted by this new aircraft have caused them serious health effect. While the Navy claims that the new aircraft noise does not exceed 65 decibels, private tests have measured noise levels in excess of 134 decibels. Here is a link to one of these studies confirming Growler jets with noise levels as high as 134 decibels:<br /></div>

Hundreds of citizens have filed complaints about the noise level of these new Growler Aircraft. Citizens have claimed that they need to use commercial grade Ear Protectors in their homes to muffle the intense noise. One homeowner sustained $14,000 in window damage from vibrations caused by noise emitted by the new jets. It is claimed that these jets – all located on Whidbey Island – fly more than 10,000 training missions at all hours of the day and night.<br /></div>

Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe & Peaceful Environment filed a lawsuit against the Navy in July 2013 trying to get the noise level reduced. In 2005, the Navy did an Environmental Assessment in which they claimed that the new aircraft would be fewer and quieter than the older Prowler aircraft. This has turned out not to be the case as the new aircraft are much noisier than the old aircraft and are flying many more missions. To be precise, there were 7,682 training flights in 2005 and there were more than 11,200 training flights in 2013. The increase of 3,518 flights was an increase of 43%. The initial plan was also for 80 Growlers and is now for 135 Growlers an increase of 69%. This is why the general public no longer trusts what the Navy claims on their Environmental Assessments.<br /></div>

“Many residents talk of sleeping with ear plugs to protect their hearing, and some have registered noise as high as 139 decibels. According to the National Institutes of Health, permanent hearing loss starts with exposure in the 110 to 115 decibel range.<br /><br />Some of the residents formed the Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe & Peaceful Environment and in July filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Seattle arguing that the Navy should have done a complete environmental-impact statement before flying the Growlers at OLF, asking the court to stop the planes from flying at OLF and to pay their attorney fees for bringing the action. “The house shudders when they fly over,” said Robert Tank, a member of Citizens of the Ebey Reserve. He measured the noise level between 110 and 120 decibels. “You can’t do anything when they are flying. You’re locked out of using the phone, the television. You can’t have a conversation.” Seattle Times | Dec 23, 2013</div>

“Citizens from Whidbey Island and the Puget Sound region will gather at the Navy’s Outlying Field at Coupeville, Whidbey Island, Friday May 9 at 1 p.m. to protest the Navy’s resumption of Growler EA-18G electronic attack jet operations. <br /><br />As part of the protest, citizens will fly the American Flag upside-down – a signal of “dire distress” according to the US Flag Code. “We are in dire distress because our homes and communities are being saturated with hazardous levels of noise and our elected officials seem to be powerless or unwilling to act,” said Michael Monson president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve. “The fact that citizens, including many veterans, are willing to take this statement with our flag, demonstrates the seriousness of this problem.” he said.<br /></div>

“<span style="color: blue;"><b>It is outrageous and unacceptable that the military that is supposed to protect us is knowingly causing us harm and placing us in danger,”</b></span> COER Board member Cate Andrews said. Growler jets fly only a few hundred feet over roof-tops and more than 400 homes are located within the OLF’s accident potential zone. Internal Navy records recently obtained by COER revealed numerous incidences of Growler mechanical problems and falling parts during flight.<br /></div>

In the next section, we will review the history of attempts to save our spotted owls.<br /><br />We will then assess the current spotted owl population in the Olympic Mountains – showing that is on the brink of extinction even before this new plan by the Navy to destroy them completely. We will then conclude with a series of ideas on what each of us can do individually and jointly to stop this monstrous assault on the Olympic Peninsula."</div>

<b>Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP</b> is acting as legal counsel to Minerals Technologies and Lazard is acting as its financial advisor. J.P. Morgan is also acting as a financial advisor."<br />
<br />
Which also explains why Minerals Technologies attorneys Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP are often seen in my Web Stats as well. Guess they are trying to figure out how to SHUT ME UP.<br />
<br />
This also explains why Ernst and Young is on my blogs. STOCK prices and all. We would not want <b><span style="color: #990000;">the PUBLIC to KNOW the Truth about the Port Townsend Paper Mill.</span></b> And wow, is the State of Washington INSIDER involved in insider trading or something that covers up a Toxic Plant in Washington to affect MTX, AMCOL stock prices? WOW. I sure hope not, but I kind of smell an Indictment for somebody.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>I ALLEGE it's some sort of Stock Fraud to have an INSIDER in a State Agency pulling strings so your stock GOES UP.... well in my OPINION.</b></span></div>
<br />
Guess I better File and SEC Complaint to be Prudent and Pro Active on the Issue<br />
<br />
Anyhoo....<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>To me, in my Opinion, this Web Stat is VERY Telling INDEED. </b></div>

If you can READ then you can SEE that the TOXINS coming out of the PORT TOWNSEND PAPER MILL, You should NOT be BREATHING.<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology is on my Blogs today. </b></div>
<br />
Who is it at the State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology that is protecting AMCOL, the Port Townsend Paper Mill to KNOWINGLY Poison Port Townsend Citizens?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Got a Tip? eMail me at ReverendCrystalCox@Gmail.com</span></b></div>
<br />
<b>The Hospital Commission KNOWS, the Doctors KNOW, Jefferson County Public Health KNOWS, the </b><b style="text-align: center;">State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology KNOWS, the EPA KNOWS, </b><b>the City of Port Townsend Knows, and the Port Townsend Leader seems to Flat out LIE to protect the Mill. Why?</b><br />
<br />
There seems to be a reason of JOBS. That is Bull folks, they NEED to Super Fund and get all Mill Workers health care and money NOW. <a href="http://www.porttownsendnews.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-is-port-townsend-paper-mill-allowed.html" target="_blank">AMCOL</a>, Port Townsend Paper Corporation KNOWS full well the toxins that are coming out of that mill and harming the public and their workers. This is NOT about a Pay Check, the workers SHOULD be bought out, paid retirement and health care.<br />
<br />
Look up the WR Grace Libby Montana cases.<b><span style="color: #990000;"> The Port Townsend Paper needs to SHUT DOWN NOW</span></b>, it needs to Superfund and clean up this MASSIVE Toxic Mess. These companies know they are poisoning their workers and community and it's up to you to stand up to them because your local government is paid OFF to look the other way, as far as I see it.<br />
<br />
They all know that the <b>SLUDGE from the Pond</b> is FULL OF<span style="color: #990000;"><b> Known Carcinogen</b></span>s, yet they ship it out to unsuspecting parties. Who knows where it goes, it could even end up as fill in play grounds or on Organic Farms.<br />
<br />
They know that <b>many people have to leave Port Townsend</b> because their children or themselves CANNOT get well, and the Doctors flat out tell them it is the Port Townsend Paper Mill.<br />
<br />
In a town full of<b><span style="color: blue;"> socially conscious residents</span></b>, an area of such wonderful Organic Farms, <a href="http://www.porttownsendnews.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-is-port-townsend-paper-mill-allowed.html" target="_blank">the State Of Washington/department Of Ecology</a> and <a href="http://www.porttownsendnews.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-is-port-townsend-paper-mill-allowed.html" target="_blank">Jefferson County Officials</a> allow the AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill to spew KNOWN toxins into the air EVERY SINGLE DAY. These go into the soil of Organic Farms, the lungs of children, the water ways, the soil and infiltrate every aspect of Port Townsend Life.<br />
<br />
If you take a flashlight at night you can see the massive particles in the air from the AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill. This is Poison and YOU are breathing it, eating it, Living it. And here in Port Townsend Washington they say get over it, it's <span style="color: blue;"><b>the Smell of MONEY</b></span>. Ya for AMCOL, who flat out lied on bankruptcy documents about known toxins, money for doctors and specialists as they try and cure people who end up leaving and BIG money for those taking alleged payoffs and subsidies to POISON you, your Organic Farms, your Children and affect your DAILY quality of Life.<br />
<br />
Many, including myself, have experience severe chest pain and compression, headaches, throat issues, eye issues, immune issues, organ shut down, and other health problems due to the Port Townsend Paper Mill, yes I could leave Port Townsend and I may. However, for now the Great Spirit has handing me a Sword on this issues and I stand for those who cannot leave the area and are FORCED to breath Toxic air with total disregard for their human and civil rights.<br />
<br />
Port Townsend is such a beautiful place and there are so many smart people here, yet the Good Ol' Boys and Gals club runs the show as with most towns, and this club gets subsidies and even pay offs according to the rumor mill and so there it is you get to breathe massive toxins daily and the EPA, the State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology, <a href="http://www.porttownsendnews.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-is-port-townsend-paper-mill-allowed.html" target="_blank">Jefferson County Public Health</a>, Jefferson County Commissioners, and the City of Port Townsend DOES NOTHING to fight back or stand up for your rights to Clean Air, Clean Water and Clean Soil.<br />
<br />
They seem to ignore the issues as if it's invisible. They talk about car emission and other pollutants as if they are concerned yet look the other way, KNOWINGLY, on the biggest carcinogen in the county and that is without a doubt the Port Townsend Paper Mill.<br />
<br />
The<b> Port Townsend Leader even gave Roger Hagan</b> some sort of column to, a PLATFORM to lull the community into falsehoods. The Port Townsend Leader should be charged with aiding and abetting a crime I say. The City of Port Townsend is always stroking the Port Townsend Paper Mill, some give away, a boardwalk or some other gimmick to say HEY Port Townsend Citizens, it's ok that we are poisoning YOU. We will donate this boardwalk or this whatcha ma jig and it will all be ok. Ya, we know you are in pain and discomfort, getting sick, being forced out of town. We know that your kids are sick and you experience massive discomfort, illness and pain due to TOXINS and Carcinogens we knowingly put into the Air, Soil and Water but Hey we are paying your local boards and politicians off and buying things for the town so it's all GOOD. Sit back breath deep and relax.<br />
Well that's how I see the story anyway, but that's just me.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I say SUE AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill.</b> </div>
<br />
AMCOL is an out of State Company. File a Civil suit in Federal Court in Olympia. You do not need an attorney, Go Pro Se. You don't have to go through the State nor the County because the Defendant is in another state. It is easy to file a lawsuit yourself. You can also file a DOJ complaint, civil rights complaints. Research the Clean Air and Clean Water acts.<br />
<br />
<b>SUE them ALL for knowingly harming you and your children.</b><br />

PT Paper emits 1.6 times as much CO2 as ALL other sources in Jefferson County Washington<br />
<a href="http://ptairwatchers.org/2014/10/06/pt-paper-emits-1-6-times-as-much-co2-as-all-other-sources-in-jeffco-wa/">http://ptairwatchers.org/2014/10/06/pt-paper-emits-1-6-times-as-much-co2-as-all-other-sources-in-jeffco-wa/</a><br />
"Here’s the connection to Jefferson County’s largest polluter, the Port Townsend Paper mill.<br />
<br />
CO2e emissions are one of the major drivers of ocean acidification, the changes in chemistry that threaten local natural shellfish stocks, marine life and habitat.<br />
<br />
Port Townsend Paper is by far Jefferson County’s largest emitter of CO2e.<br />
<br />
Port Townsend Paper= 611,864 tons per year of CO2e<br />
<br />
All others sources in Jefferson County WA = 383,748 tons per year CO2e<br />
<br />
That includes industrial, commercial, residential, transportation and solid waste.<br />
<br />
Here’s your take-away: PTPC’s emissions amount to a whopping 61% of all CO2e emissions in the County!<br />
<br />
Stated another way, PTPC emits 1.6 times all other sources in Jefferson County combined!"<br />

Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and is one of the most elementary petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [n]-annulene ([6]-annulene), a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph–H. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene, which are produced on a billion kilogram scale. Because it has a high octane number, it is an important component of gasoline, comprising a few percent of its mass. Most non-industrial applications have been limited by benzene’s carcinogenicity."</div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">——-WHO REGULATES THE MILL———</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In the 1970′s the Federal Clean Air Act was enacted; EPA delegated implementation to state ecology departments, who in turn delegated enforcement to smaller “regional air authorities.” However, three industries — kraft pulp mills, aluminum smelters, and concrete plants — worked backroom deals to be regulated by the state departments of ecology. Thus, air pollution permitting Nippon Paper in Port Angeles is under ORCAA, while Port Townsend Paper, a kraft pulp mill, is under WA’s Department of Ecology Industrial Section. The different agencies have different cultures and apply different standards.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px;">
On-site landfill is regulated by the Jefferson County Health Department</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px;">
ASB – aerated stabilization basin, 35-acre wastewater treatment “pond”. Ecology does not require a permit for this foetid morass. We are looking into it. Until Jefferson County’s March 2014 SMP/Shoreline Master Plan update, the ASB was included in Port Townsend Bay’s shoreline, so activity within the ASB should have been overseen by the Army Corp of Engineers but we have found no record of such oversight being exercised.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Wood chip storage – we have not learned of any permitting required for what looks to be 35+ acres of mountains of chips, although every 5-10 years they seem to burst into fire.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Remediation funds – aka “Financial assurances”. Industrial sites are legally supposed to post escrow funds to cover eventual costs of cleaning up toxic legacies. WA Dept of Ecology has not required Port Townsend Paper to do so, leaving Jeffco and WA taxpayers liable for $millions in costs.</div>

NEWS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
<br />
Regarding<b><span style="color: blue;"> the Navy’s plans to conduct electronic war games over the Olympic Peninsula,</span></b> the feds apparently are bowing to pressure to find no significant impact on anything — tourism, residents, endangered species; you name it, it’s A-OK.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">One problem: the citizenry isn’t bowing.</span></b></div>
<br />
The Navy’s apathy for the endangered spotted owl and marbled murrelet populations of the Olympic Peninsula is just another reprehensible instance of the oxymoron, “Navy planning.”<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy is drunk on its power and privilege,</span></b> and with good reason. Their record shows they know how to grease the EIS tracks to always get their beloved<span style="color: #990000;"><b> “Finding of No Significant Impact.”</b></span><br />
<br />
The Prowlers and Growlers were never planned for the northern Puget Sound area — they just nibbled their way into a presence over years of inattentive and self-aggrandizing political “leadership,” who privately back-slapped the Navy brass and allowed them to advance their military agenda with winks and nods.<br />
<br />
With that backing, all the Navy had to do was overlook civilian concerns or offer a bit of lip service — that was always good enough. This carte blanche conditioning of the Navy led to its current “no-boundaries-for-us” myopia.<br />
<br />
These two endangered species, however, demand serious attention and perhaps will make the Navy begin to understand there are boundaries and that FONSIs are not always automatic.<br />
<br />
For several years now, <b>Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER</b>, correctly insisted that these new-age jets are a misfit for the Puget Sound area because of their devastating economic and health impacts on the public.<br />
<br />
It is insulting and sadly ironic that these two avian species will demand greater attention than the huge impacts on citizens and non-endangered species. <b><span style="color: blue;">The Navy should be embarrassed.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">Be certain, these jets cannot coexist within the fast-growing Puget Sound region composed of an environmentally informed and proactive public. </span></b><br />
<br />
The inevitability of moving the Growlers to a welcoming and environmentally insensitive area can be done parsimoniously now or at much greater cost later.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Olympic National Forest does, however, present a number of challenges unique to other such forests in the state, said Reta LaFord, Olympic National Forest supervisor for the U.S. Forest Service.</span></b><br />
<br />
These challenges include the sensitive species, such as the spotted owl, that make their home in the federally managed area and the condition of forest service roads that snake through the wooded areas.<br />
<br />
LaFord was joined by five other panel members, who were from the nature conservation field and the timber products industry, during a Friday discussion panel focusing on collaborative timber-harvesting agreements.<br />
<br />
The panel was organized by U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, who represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Clallam and Jefferson counties."<br />
<br />
"Collaborative harvest agreements often involve representatives of the U.S. Forest Service, nature conservancy groups and timber and wood-product companies working together to develop a strategy for harvesting timber in a given national forest that gives both ecological and economic benefits, LaFord explained.<br />
<br />
“Management of the forests is not an either-or,” LaFord said, “but a combination using the best tools available.”<br />
<br />
Kilmer said he organized the panel to gather information from experts on how such collaborative agreements have worked in the past and how they can be improved.<br />
<br />
“I am very keen on us getting past the 'either-or' dialogue [of] either we do something for the economy or something for the environment,” Kilmer said.<br />
<br />
Kilmer said he plans to take information gleaned from the panel back to Washington, D.C., so better decisions on timber harvesting can be made at a national level.<br />
<br />
Panel member Mitch Friedman, executive director of Seattle-based Conservation Northwest, said he has seen such agreements work in Colville National Forest in Eastern Washington.<br />
<br />
“I've observed and come to believe that collaboration can work,” Friedman said.<br />
<br />
“It's very challenging.”<br />
<br />
Friedman said these challenges can be alleviated in part through three main ingredients.<br />
<br />
These are clear measures on what size or age of trees will be harvested, strong leadership from the parties involved and trust brought about through time spent working together.<br />
<br />
“With the trust, you achieve the means to overcome ever more complicated problems,” Friedman said.<br />
<br />
<b>LaFord said the challenges specific to Olympic National Forest could lead to increased costs for timber companies harvesting trees.</b><br />
<br />
This is because timber companies that need to use logging equipment to reach the harvestable timber could end up paying to improve the roads themselves, LaFord explained.<br />
<br />
“[The Forest Service] has a lot of roads and not enough money to work on those,” LaFord said.<br />
<br />
“The road issue is a really tricky one.”<br />
<br />
Panel member Matt Comisky, Washington state manager of the American Forest Resource Council representing more than 50 timber products companies in five western states, said he could see the benefit of collaborative harvest agreements.<br />
<br />
Measurable goals<br />
<br />
Comisky said his organization would like to see the establishment of measurable goals, such as a number of new jobs created or timber receipts taken in by local governments.<br />
<br />
“These metrics of success are essential to ensure there's a focus,” Comisky said.<br />
<br />
At the end of the discussion, Kilmer said he appreciated the input of all the panel members.<br />
<br />
“To me, the value of engaging in dialogue like this is to get a sense of what tools are in the toolbox to balance our economic and ecological needs,” Kilmer said.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, Kilmer visited the Port Townsend Farmers Market and Uptown Street Fair in the morning and spoke at the Clallam County Democrats' Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt dinner that night.<br />

Really? And you Think You are Free?The NAVY will Put these where they want to and they are Everywhere, and more coming soon to a town near you.<br />
<br />
"By ANGELO BRUSCAS<br />
North Coast News<br />
<br />
PACIFIC BEACH — The town with the most direct impact from the Navy’s proposal to expand electronic warfare training in<span style="color: blue;"><b> the Olympic National Forest</b></span> finally had a public meeting on the plan Wednesday night with more than 175 people in attendance and citizens largely voicing their opposition.<br />
<br />
A five-person team that included a 22-year veteran Navy pilot defended the military agency’s finding in August that the project would have no significant environmental impact, and said they had attempted to use the best available science in a process that<b> met all the requirements called for in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).</b><br />
<br />
Citizens, however, questioned the Navy and two opponents of the project for more than two hours on Wednesday at Pacific Beach Elementary School about a decision that many felt was irreversible and done without proper public notice, comment or study.<br />
<br />
Grays Harbor County Commissioner Wes Cormier moderated the meeting.<br />
<br />
While some in the audience came from as far as Olympia, Forks and Seattle to address the Navy plan, local concerns focused on the need for emergency service agreements, possible disruption of communication services in and around Pacific Beach, the impact it could have on the frequency of sonic booms and air traffic as well as why more notice wasn’t given of the proposed activity.<br />
<br />
“We live here. If we had moved to Whidbey Island or SeaTac, we would expect the noise of the flights. We didn’t expect it here,” said North Beach resident Gina Rawlings.<br />
<br />
Shari Curtright of Grays Harbor Fire District No. 8 in Moclips/Pacific Beach questioned what considerations the Navy had given to fire and emergency response, which would largely fall to District No. 8. She noted the fire district currently does not have a mutual aid agreement with the Pacific Beach Navy site, which surprised the Navy panel members.<br />
<br />
“We want something in writing about what we are supposed to do if that thing is activated,” Curtright said.<br />
<br />
The Navy is preparing to use facilities at Pacific Beach to construct a new tower capable of generating an electromagnetic wave as part of what is being proposed as the Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range or MOA (military operating range).<br />
<br />
The tower would be capable of generating an electromagnetic wave at frequencies ranging from 2 to 18 gigahertz (GHz) and it would be able to emit up to 64 simultaneous signals while transmitting in pulses or a continuous wave, the Navy’s already completed environmental assessment states. The Navy has said it would not have a significant impact on the public or the community and would be part of a larger plan to install and operate an electronic warfare range in which aircraft, ships and submarines can practice and have that information communicated and analyzed in a central location. Also, the Navy plan is to use mobile emitters at various locations, including several in Grays Harbor County and north of the Quinault Indian Nation.<br />
<br />
The intent is to have the project up and running by September 2015. The Navy still needs permission from the U.S. Forest Service and the state Department of Natural Resources for use of roads in remote areas where the mobile units would travel and set up.<br />
<br />
Recent public meetings on the proposal also were conducted in Forks and Port Angeles, and there appears to be growing opposition to the plan as the Navy tries to complete the process.<br />
<br />
The Forest Service declined an invitation to attend the Pacific Beach meeting, but the Navy sent a team of five members.<br />
<br />
John Mosher, Northwest Environmental Program Manager for the Navy, told the crowd that many people may be unfamiliar with what electronic warfare is.<br />
<br />
“It is something that the military has been doing for a very long time,” he said. It involves the use of electromagnetic equipment that is in turn used to “impede our enemy’s use of certain electronic equipment.”<br />
<br />
“It is critical in protecting our aircraft and our forces on the ground,” Mosher said. “And just about every aspect of military operations these days involves electronic warfare in one form or another.”<br />
<br />
The training sites, including the ones in the National Forest where the mobile emitters will set up in remote locations, have been reviewed by the Navy and will be used on a rotating basis. The idea is to simulate on the ground what potential adversaries might be using to communicate, and the aircraft flying above then try to locate such equipment, Mosher explained.<br />
<br />
The Navy has concluded that the electromagnetic waves would be no significant harm to people or animals, and would be focused and beamed into the sky.<br />
<br />
“The equipment we are proposing to use is very similar to other pieces of commercially and publicly available equipment that you will see and you are exposed to on a daily basis,” Mosher said. He likened it to a TV broadcasting van, or marine radar.<br />
<br />
Mosher said the Navy wants “to be a good neighbor” with the community and is committed to it. He noted the project will result in the addition of jobs and construction at the Pacific Beach Naval facility.<br />
<br />
“So we have obligations to the community and we feel like we have open lines of communication,” he said.<br />
<br />
Just because the environmental assessment found no significant impact, that doesn’t mean “game over,” Mosher added. “Long term, we are committed to working with the local community to make sure we are not affecting your communications systems.”<br />
<br />
The Navy too, he said, relies on the local 911 emergency services center and local emergency service providers. Also, he noted the plan must have approval of the FCC and other agencies.<br />
<br />
Karen Sullivan, a project opponent who lives on the Olympic Peninsula and is a former employee of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, countered many of the Navy’s points and questioned the findings with respect to impact on humans as well as wildlife, in particular how it might affect threatened species that use the forest, such as marbled murrelets and northern spotted owls. She noted the testing period will be extended from eight hours a day to as much as 16 hours, and suggested there are other places with more air space the Navy could use.<br />
<br />
“So if the Navy says that it needs the Olympic National Forest for training, which happens to be next to a world heritage site in the Olympic National Park, it has to prove that it has no alternative places to go,” Sullivan said, contending she cannot find sufficient proof in the current environmental assessment.<br />
<br />
Kent Mathes, Northwest Training Range Complex Program Manager, said the current plan represents the “best alternative,” and the purpose is to train pilots at the very basic level so they are able to move on for more advanced training elsewhere before being called into battle.<br />
<br />
“This is all very simplistic use of electronic warfare,” he said, noting there are currently about 1,200 flights per year over the area. The estimate is the number would increase about 10 percent with the new training transmissions.<br />
<br />
“This is just going to be a very small portion of the flights that are already going on,” Mathes said.<br />
<br />
Pacific Beach resident Melody Emery, who works for cable TV provider Coast Communications, said the government’s existing weather radar at Langley Hill on the North Beach and some shipping radar can affect television satellite reception.<br />
<br />
Mathes, however, said the type of transmission the Navy plans to emit has been reviewed by 22 federal agencies and there should be no interference issue with civil broadcasting or receiving.<br />
<br />
“Where you are probably seeing a lot of this interference is with these public bands where there is not this rigorous process that we have to go through,” he said.<br />
<br />
“The equipment we are going to have is very directional, discreet, and it will be pointed toward the aircraft in a very narrow beam. It’s the difference between a flashlight and a porch light,” he said.<br />
<br />
Navy pilot Cmdr. Brian Danielson trains pilots at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, where he has been stationed for 17 years. He said there is no part of the plan that calls for the Navy to exceed the air space it already uses in training missions currently flown over the sites.<br />

There is no plan to do anything differently with regards to going lower, being louder, faster. What we are looking to do with these things is have them simulate a radar and use our systems to detect and locate where they are.”<br />
<br />
He encouraged residents to report any instances where pilots exceed the sound barrier or appear to be flying too low, and said reports could be made online through Naval Station Whidbey Island, which controls the training area. Noise complaints can be directed to NAS Whidbey Island’s new comment line at (360) 257-6665, or via e-mail: comments.NASWI@navy.mil.<br />
<br />
Sullivan acknowledged that there were no public comments received during the environmental assessment period conducted by the Navy, largely because communities were not notified with the exception of a few newspaper legal ads.<br />
<br />
“The finding of no significant impact is supposed to have public input. There was none,” she said.<br />
<br />
The Forest Service has extended the comment period on the plan and permits to use the forest until Nov. 28. To comment online: https://cara.ecosystem- management.org/Public/CommentInput? Project=42759<br />

Right in the heart of all the liberal Tree Huggers that want to breath fresh air, NOT be attacked by Electronic Warfare, want Clean Soil, Clean Air and Clean Water. She is an expert in ensuring that we don't get that.<br />

<br />
The hearings will provide information and take comments on the scope of an environmental impact statement.<br />
<br />
The Navy scheduled three public meetings last month at Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Anacortes.<br />
<br />
Additional meetings have been scheduled for Dec. 3 at the Lopez Island community center and Dec. 4 at Fort Worden Commons at Port Townsend.<br />
<br />
A spokesman told the Peninsula Daily News the hearings were added at the request of U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, whose constituents say the jet noise carries across Admiralty Inlet.<br />
<br />
Currently, 82 Growlers are based at Whidbey, where they practice for aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings."<br />

"<b><u><span style="color: blue;">Quick overview: Why is this an issue?</span></u></b></div>
<br />
The DOD has stated they want permission from the Forest Service (and us!) to do this training. To be clear, this is from the Forest Service EA on behalf of the Navy:<br />
<br />
The Navy wants to run Electronic Warfare Training runs on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula, including over habitat for endangered Spotted Owls, towns such as Forks, areas very close to the Hoh River campgrounds, and generally all over the Peninsula’s west side.<br />
<br />
-11.152 events per day<br />
-2900 events per year. Current number in the Olympic MOA is 1200.<br />
-Run up to 12 hours a day<br />
-In use 45 minutes of each hour<br />
<br />
-The equipment will be in use up to 260 days a year<br />
<br />
The Navy’s own figures state that a jet flying at 1000 ft above ground level creates 113 decibels, which is far above the threshold for hearing damage.<br />
<br />
So, 113 @ 1000 for one aircraft = 123 for two, and 128 for three. In other words, permanent damage instantly. (Twice as loud for two and an additional 50% louder for three.)<br />
<br />
Ok?<br />
<br />
So here’s the response to the Forest Service. There are no answers, only questions at this point:<br />
To whom it may concern:<br />
<br />
I am writing to express my concern with substantive issues of the Environmental Assessment being carried out by the Forest Service on behalf of the Navy’s Pacific NW Electronic Warfare Range.<br />
<br />
<b>There are number of issues that I am raising:</b><br />
DOD Department of Agriculture Master Agreement 1988<br />
DOD, Department of Agriculture (FS) Master Agreement on “Use of National Forest Service Lands For Military Activity” (1988)<br />
<br />
As stated in this 1988 document: “Training activities on National Forest Service Lands will be authorized when compatible with other uses and in conformity with applicable forest plan(s), provided that the Department of Defense determines and substantiates that lands under it’s administration are unsuitable or unusable.”<br />
<br />
I see nothing in the EA or the EIS that substantiates that the current lands in Eastern Washington or Idaho are unsuitable or unusable. In fact , It is clear on page 2-8 of the EA that Roosevelt and Okanagan are still possible to use.<br />
<br />
I see a case made that it is too far for local pilots. But this is neither an unsuitable or unusable argument as they are being used for this purpose now. Could the lands be used if necessary? The answer appears yes, but the Navy would prefer to do it in the Western Olympic Peninsula. That does not seem to meet the criteria as outlined in that foundational document between the DOD and the FS.<br />
<br />
The 1988 agreement, noted above goes on to say that:<br />
“This agreement does not apply to the airspace over National Forest System Lands unless directly associated with the land based training.”<br />
<br />
<b>Questions of overlooking the issue of aircraft</b><br />
There is an implied issue that is not addressed in the current EA that I am commenting on, and seems critical to the EA. IF there will be active flyovers of public land (USFS, ONF, WSDNR), and IF there will be active electronic engagement with mobile emitters then it seems that potential adverse environmental impacts MUST be addressed in the EA.<br />
<br />
Any reasonable person would conclude that they are tightly coupled, and that one relies on the other, as they do in fact. Any attempt to suggest that these aerial activities are NOT a part of this Environmental Analysis and have been or are going to be addressed in a separate EIS are inexcusable considering potential adverse impacts to the human and natural environment.<br />
<br />
Again, the airspace requirements for this EA are distinctly directly associated with the land based training, so while it is not addressed in the current EA, it is required by the 1988 Master Agreement to be considered in the EA and likely an EIS that would take into consideration both issues. That the Forest Service has not bound the airspace issues with the land based issues seems to be a significant oversight on behalf of the FS reviewer.<br />
<br />
Previous EISA entries from the DOD/Navy did not address this specific use of the airspace, which may significantly alter the altitude and noise impact to both the National Forest and the National Park. So the question I ask is “Why is it not bound to this EA?”<br />
<br />
Also, the flight paths of these jets flying unmuffled at 1200 feet are not even shown on diagrams. What population areas, businesses and homes are going to be affected by these flights?<br />
<br />
<b>Section B of the 1988 Master Agreement states:</b><br />
Military Training activities on Forest Service lands are actions that require the analysis of environmental impact in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other statutory and regulatory requirements. The Department of Defense and the Department of Agriculture will cooperate to accomplish the appropriate NEPA compliance.<br />
<br />
<b>Questions of Noise</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
A question of whether the activities of the DOD are compatible with other uses and conform with applicable forest management plans can be questioned, since hiking, fishing, camping and other human activities are expected to take place both on FS land and the adjacent Olympic National Park (ONP). The noise of the jets participating in the testing and training of the pilots, and directly associated with the land based training, flying at heights of 1200 feet, will be at decibel levels that are known to damage human hearing (greater than 80 decibels for example).<br />
<br />
These planes, which are required to make deployment of the electronic gear being requested necessary, will be heard inside the <b>Olympic National Park, in such locations as the Hoh River campground, and other campsites close to the deployed gear, according to the maps provided by the FS and Navy.</b><br />
<br />
In earlier court cases, the National Park Service has found that Snowplane noise violated park standards. Has the Park Service weighed in on whether the noise of the <b>unmuffled jets flying training </b>sorties at 1200 feet will meet noise criteria in the areas of the National Park over which the jets will fly? And what about the noise levels generated adjacent to the Park? This has been successfully argued in court to be a violation of the Wilderness Act.<br />
<br />
<b>Questions of Fire </b><br />
There is no mention of possible fire, caused by either the jets themselves or the equipment. If a jet crashes, especially if it happens in late summer, what measures do the FS and the Navy expect to take to fight the subsequent fire? This seems to be an oversight in the EA.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Quantities of training </u></b></div>
<br />
<b>The DOD has stated they plan to do this training:</b><br />
<br />
11.152 events per day<br />
2900 events per years. Current number in the Olympic MOA is 1200.<br />
Run up to 12 hours a day<br />
<br />
In use 45 minutes of each hour<br />
The equipment will be in use up to 260 days a year<br />
<br />
The Navy’s own figures state that a jet flying at 1000 ft above ground level creates 113 decibels, which is far above the threshold for hearing damage.<br />
<br />
So, 113 @ 1000 for one aircraft = 123 for two, and 128 for three. In other words, permanent damage instantly. (Twice as loud for two and an additional 50% louder for three.) <br />
This cannot be construed to be “no harm” as exposing human and animal hearing to the directly associated unmuffled air training that is done in conjunction with the required land based equipment could cause human hearing impairment.<br />
<br />
There has been <b>no Environmental Impact Statement </b>done on the joint use of the two distinctly directly associated activities. I request that one be done.<br />
<br />
A reasonable person who would live, work or recreate near such activity would not consider adding 260 days and 12 hours a day of unmuffled jet noise associated with this activity, along with the coming and goings of trucks at all hours of the day and night, to be “no significant impact”. So what was the criteria in establishing that ruling in the FONSI?<br />
<br />
<b>Question Of Conversion Of And Taking Of Private & Public Property </b><br />
An issue not addressed is the implied conversion of private property under the flight paths of these jets, in the vicinity of the transmitters. (Flight paths are not even considered in the EA) Citizens are being told that they will be living under a war training zone, that unmuffled jets may be going over their homes and businesses at 1200 feet as much as 12 hours a day and up to 45 minutes in those hours. Would they consider this an impact on their businesses and personal lives?<br />
<br />
This seems to be a “taking” of the private property use, without properly addressing the issue of whether there is going to be a loss of value or reimbursement to the homeowner, business person or property owner. This kind of issue has been dealt with in many locales when flight paths in and out of airports brought jet traffic over homes. These homes often are purchased and destroyed. Seatac has two such locations, north and south of the runways. When the Navy has created training ranges such as Yakima Firing Range, there was a condemning or purchase of the land there. This issue has not been raised in either the EIS nor the EA.<br />
<br />
<b>Loss of Wilderness Soundscape</b><br />
The loss of wilderness soundscape over the ONP is also, per my comments above, a possible violation of the Wilderness Act. It could also be seen as a violation of NEPA because it appears there has been no adequate consultation with the Park Service prior to the EA nor documented on this issue in the EA.<br />
<br />
<b>Use of DNR Lands</b><br />
It also appears that there are use issues with DNR lands in that vicinity, has that been documented somewhere other than this EA?<br />
<br />
<b>Loss of tourist trade</b><br />
There are unknown losses that may occur due to tourist activities that may not happen due to the understanding by recreation users and others that low flying unmuffled jets are in the area. That is not addressed at all in the EA, nor the Navy’s EIS for the training areas. Are there similar locations in the Continental US that could be looked at for possible loss of incomes and tourist trade?<br />
Issues with the Finding Of No Significance (FONSI)<br />

In the comments in the FONSI there is mention of having referred to the FS NW Forest Plan, but no mention of which sections of the FS NW Forest Plan the writer is referring to. Which ones is he referring to?<br />
<br />
<b>The FONSI appears to have been arrived at with no public input and insufficient scientific data, thus violating NEPA.</b><br />
<br />
In the comments section of the FONSI there is no mention of jet aircraft in consideration of the actions proposed on page EA-2. However, the jet aircraft are required for this training. They are not a separate entity, but intrinsically part of the whole. A reasonable person would assume that would be taking into consideration in this EA.<br />
<br />
I request that the FS rewrite the EA to take into account the jet aircraft in use specifically for this training be done.The EIS that was originally done by the Navy regarding airspace did not consider or discuss this use, but was specifically calling out issues related to training at sea.<br />
In the comments section of the FONSI the reviewer only considers the Navy’s needs in the alternatives, and not whether citizens who live and use the National Forests of the affected areas on the Olympic Peninsula would request an alternative.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOea5hxscUOw3cHmAScUTkv7qJ_QhIGux9TX_1DJ20yyn8s_W7bvUGzMBTNkcQ1uRgWPQTHmM_-RG9I0gZnNbGcM8CiLX0jyfT_lS9u6lfEynXhuSjXDPq_BqK8w7_8NExAVDUyrX5nw/s1600/1908445_709366395823728_6958571403687325080_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOea5hxscUOw3cHmAScUTkv7qJ_QhIGux9TX_1DJ20yyn8s_W7bvUGzMBTNkcQ1uRgWPQTHmM_-RG9I0gZnNbGcM8CiLX0jyfT_lS9u6lfEynXhuSjXDPq_BqK8w7_8NExAVDUyrX5nw/s1600/1908445_709366395823728_6958571403687325080_n.jpg" height="640" width="492" /></a></div>
<br />
In the comments section of the FONSI the reviewer states that there will be no effects on the human environment. Most reasonable people living, working or recreating on these lands would consider 200 training exercises a year requiring jets flying low enough to produce sound above the range of damage to human hearing to be a negative effect of any such activity.<br />
<br />
IN CONCLUSION:<br />
Given all these issues, I respectively suggest that the EA is inadequate in addressing the possible impacts to public health and safety, biological resources, Noise, Air Quality, and Visual Resources, along with the lack of proof that the use of Forest Service Lands by the Navy has not been adequately shown to adhere to the 1988 Master Agreement (referenced above), and wish to see it withdrawn and or rejected."<br />

<br />
For the second time, the Forest Service is extending a public comment period on the Navy’s request to use forestland for electronic warfare training that would benefit a growing fleet of EA-18 Growler jets based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.<br />
<br />
The Navy wants to use up to 15 sites in the forest as temporary stations for three trucks equipped with electronic communications gear. The jets would be challenged to find electronic signals emitted by the trucks as practice for the surveillance and radar-busting assignments handed to Growler jets in war zones.<br />
<br />
Hundreds of people have already commented on the proposal, with many expressing concerns about how the training would impact wildlife or the atmosphere of the forest. Opponents protested outside of the Forest Service headquarters in Olympia on Oct. 24.<br />
<br />
“I’ve decided to extend the current public comment period to ensure the public has plenty of time to share their thoughts,” said Forest Service Pacific District ranger Dean Millett in a news release. The new deadline is Nov. 28.<br />
<br />
The Navy on Nov. 6 is scheduled to a hold a public meeting on the proposal in Port Angeles. It is to take place at 6 p.m. at the City Council chambers, 321 E. Fifth St.<br />
<br />
Training could take place up to 260 days a year, but the Navy says the trucks would be rotated among the 15 locations.<br />
<br />
The noise generated by the jets should not be noticeably different from the sounds of Navy training that already occurs above Olympic National Forest, Navy officials told The News Tribune.<br />
<br />
The Navy has said it will take steps to protect forest users, such as posting signs and shutting down training if people move into an exercise area.<br />
<br />
The Navy has 84 Growler jets stationed on Whidbey Island. It wants to use the Olympic Peninsula for electronic warfare training area as an alternative to a location 400 nautical miles away in Idaho.<br />
