4:30pm meet at Port Townsend Quaker Meeting, 1841 Sheridan St. to car pool.
6-8pm public meeting at City Hall in Port Angeles preceded by outdoor protest rally starting at 5.
The issue boils down to: should the Forest Service issue a permit to the Navy to use roads in the Olympic National Forest to run their electronic radiation-emitting truck-and-trailer combinations, which would entail numerous unpredicted closures and chronically irradiated vegetation and wildlife, and possibly some chronically irradiated people who live or work near the fixed tower, for decades to come?
Here is something you should know about the public meeting. Comments are typically limited to three minutes, after which you may be interrupted and forced to stop. UNLESS YOU ASK A QUESTION at the end of your comments, the only reply you will get is “Duly noted.” Then you have to step out of line to let the next person speak. Your comments will become part of the public record, but if you do not ask a question, they do not have to respond to you. So ask a good question, and if you have not yet commented in a letter, please consider writing one to gtwahl@fs.fed.us.
The venue for the Port Angeles meeting may not have enough seats for everyone, and people who arrive late might not be admitted. If you cannot get in, be sure to send in your comments to the official recorder at: gtwahl@fs.fed.us. And ask questions.
Due to the public outcry, the comment period has been extended until November 28. You can send more than one comment letter if you want, but they should be on different aspects of the project. Send comments to: gtwahl.fs.fed.us. They will be uploaded onto the Forest Service’s Reading Room web site at: https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public/ReadingRoom?List-size=25&Project=42759&List-page=11 Currently there are nearly 1900 comments, and more are needed.
