Yup- AW is involved on their level. And yes, snoPUD seems to be deliberately distorting the truth.

But they are essentially banking on the hope that
a) no one knows about the project
b) they can bury the truth under a mountain of boring studies that they know no one will read because it cuts too much into time people would rather spend watching Family Guy, or Donald Trump be an Ass Hat, or Call of Duty or some bullsh*t

Awesome letter, Megan! Thanks!

Yes AW is playing their role. Its up to US to play ours. We are a tight knit community. We are intimately connected to The River and we love The River. It is OUR responsibility to communicate with FERC and let them know this is not o.k.

I want every paddler to realize that it is the paddling community who has the strongest oower to stop this project. We need to organize, mobilize, and, beyond having all of our voices speak for the river, we need to encourage more and more non paddlers in washington to do so too.


So yeah, We can stop this. If it gets stopped, it will be due in part through AW's efforts. But they probably can't succeed without US. Also be reminded that it won't be decided most likely, after this draft license application.

In other words, this process will flare up again next fall and winter. So keep it in mind and be ready then as well. Its gonna take a few blows to slay this beast yet.

Damn I still gotta be the one to bump this thread huh? Well since everyone is obviously on face book, I need some of you cross-over folks to take the meat and potatoes of this stuff and either post it on FB, or link to this.

Trust me when I say that without our initiative, this project will likely get built! We are actually in a good position as an interest group to stop this if we simply all lift a finger, take an hour or two out of our lives and do what is right. But don't just go through the motions. Put some heart and soul into it and apply some intellect.

We can stop this. But if we don't, no one will.

I do want to point out that the Sky *IS NOT* a Wild And Scenic river. That's part of the problem. If it was a Federally Protected Wild And Scenic River, this proposal could'nt have gotten this far.

But It is Eligible for Federal Wild And Scenic status . It no longer will be if this project goes through. Some comments I've read confuse this distiction, but I almost think it helps, rather than hurts, our case. Because the Sky is in this blurry limbo zone between being protected and not. People think it is already protected and so they are shocked this is happening, and should be.

It is a State Scenic River, which does afford it some protections, and it does state the area under contention is protected from hydro development. But the language is softer than the more iron clad Wild and Scenic designation.

Read my eComment that I posted upstream in this thread. It enumerates the three ways that aleady legally protects Sunset from hydro. SnoPud is basically ignoring actual laws on the books and essentially FERC is a potential enabler of this, "aiding and abetting" snoPUD.

That's why we have to hold both of these agencies accountable by weighing in on this idiocy.

Anyone who wants help drafting an Iron Clad eComment, send me a PM over the next few days or so. Time is running out. I will be glad to help in any way I can.
