Thanks to Jerry for bringing this up; Grays Harbor Audubon has become very
unpopular with the City of Hoquiam and Port of Grays Harbor for daring to
insist an EIS was indeed needed for this project. The Quinault's are also
very vocal about the (may I say) stupidity of putting such a project so
close to a major salmon river; the oystermen are getting nervous, those of
us who know the geology of the region know this is a major hazard zone in
the event of a substantial earthquake, let alone the Cascadia subduction
zone 60 miles offshore. And now a recent map in The Daily World showing the
effects of rising sea levels clearly shows that whole area will be under
water "by 2100", making all of this a moot point.

The illustration of the tank farm on Pg 5 (

does not seem to show the light standard along Paulson Rd. which currently
houses an osprey nest, and notice in the lower left corner the new baseball
fields and Hoquiam High School's bright red oval track, with the high
school just east of it, out of sight. That track is the site of the Relay
for Life walk every June, ironic with the health hazards caused by
petroleum gasses.

I'll stop now before I really get on a rant.
