Gateway Pacific Terminal Scoping Comments Close January 21

1/13/2013

0 Comments

 
The time for public comment on the Gateway Pacific Terminal is coming to a close. The Whatcom County Planning and Development Services Division website describes the project:

The GPT project, which is being proposed by Pacific International Terminals, Inc., is a multi-user import and export marina terminal for bulk, break-bulk, and other marine cargoes. The project will include new rail loop tracks, covered and open terminal storage areas, and a pier and trestle connection to the terminal storage area. The property is located between the BP Refinery to the north and the INTALCO facility to the south. The project area is located in the Cherry Point Industrial Urban Growth Area (UGA), which is zoned for heavy-impact industrial land use. The property is also designated as part of the Cherry Point Management Area, under the Whatcom County's Shoreline Management Program. The facility is located within the Cherry Point State Aquatic Reserve south of Birch Bay.
The period for scoping comments to the environmental impact statement (EIS) will close on January 21, so time is running out to make your voice heard. 

The scoping period for the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Gateway Pacific Terminal and Custer Spur modifications begins on September 24 and will conclude on January 21, 2013. During the scoping process, the Co-Lead Agencies, Whatcom County, the Washington State Department of Ecology and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are interested in your comments on:

• Reasonable range of alternatives
• Potentially affected resources and extent of analysis for those resources
• Significant unavoidable adverse impacts
• Measures to avoid, minimize and mitigate effects of the proposals
Many of the comments WE've heard have generated a lot more heat than light, and they did not address the points described above. If you have reasonable concerns, WE're sure they'd appreciate hearing from you. Send your comments via snail mail,
