DCC Presentation to Clallam County Marine Resources Committee (MRC) April 20, 2009
DCC presented a powerpoint of the Toxic Leachate of the Port Angeles dump which is creating a giant “dead zone” out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca MRCPresentationF1.pdf. A member of the MRC stated that finger pointing served no purpose. DCC stated that we have been informing Gov Gregoire, State DOE, Puget Sound Partnership, Clallam County, Port Angeles City C ouncil, and many other activities of the extent of the toxic “dead zone” which exists in the Strait of Juan de Fuca offshore of the dump. Most say there is a problem but no money to fix it. To this DCC replied that we feel responsible to inform local governmental entities of the problem and then proceed to higher levels of government for resolution. This is a major problem and needs correction for the health of our community and the waters of Washington State. We will persist.
