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. Is there any info out there that we can share to work towards getting it protected and gaining the "Wild and Scenic" designation? Is there work thru AWW or other places? We could start sharing that too! |

Author: jP Subject: sample eComments to FERC Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 10:36pm So, that's starting to get above my pay grade real fast, but I think we need to include it in the dialog for sure. Now we are expanding the scope of this issue to also encompass letters to our representatives in the Senate and in Congress. Sounds like a great little side project for the summer after this comment period ends. Wanna help, Megan? Haha! Anyone else who is keen too- send me a PM let's switch to email mode. For now though, let's focus on writing our own comments and helping others to write and file theres. Outreach. See my next thread titled: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 10:55pm These next two arguments are the two main issues... Bad Deal for the Fish Dewatering two waterfalls in the 1.1mi bypass reach would raise water temperatures in violation of the Dept. Of Ecology?s minimum instream flow law (WAC 173-507-020). Out migrating fish require the natural volumes of water provided by spring runoff to safely navigate Canyon and Sunset Falls. Bad Deal For Snohomish County Ratepayers -At a cost of well over $225 Million to build, this project will produce very expensive power at ¢10.8 per kWh compared to ¢3.6 per kWh for power purchased from BPA. This assumes it can even operate at max capacity. -Debt will need to be repaid over 30 years at a 5.05% interest rate. Now I ain't no economist, but seems like an aweful steep interest rate for a municipal project. This project could be obsolete by then for any number of reasons. Edited by jP - Today at 10:58pm |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 10:53pm To me this is the first argument that should be the beginning and the end of the whole thing... Existing Protections -The Skykomish River is part of Washington?s State Scenic River system (RCW 79A.55) and was the first river in the state to be protected by the 1977 act. Being a free flowing river, it is also Eligible for Federal Wild and Scenic Protection. -The Dept. Of Ecology has mandated minimum instream flows that would be violated by this hydro project. (WAC 173-507-020) -The Northwest Power and Conservation Council has declared the Sky as a Protected Area, protected from hydro development. |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 10:51pm First here are a few facts everyone should know: -this is a run-of-river project. It is not a "dam" in the impoundment, lake making sense. Therefore avoiding the word "dam" is good. Words like "hydro development" or "Hydropower" are more succint. -the Sky is Not a federally protected Wild and Scenic River, but as a free flowing river is IS eligible for that protection. This project would disqualify it for consideration. |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 11:11pm Hydro Development at Sunset Falls is Against The Public Interest Hydro development at Sunset Falls is against the long term public interest of all Washington Residents, will not meet the needs of Snohomish County ratepayers, and would undermine efforts to protect several threatened and endangered species of fish. It makes no sense. |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 11:07pm Can't forget the ongoing landslide... Blasting Two 20? Tunnels within 330? of an Active Landslide will disrupt the unstable area and be bad for water quality. Blasting debris would need to be piled up on site. Possible release of heavy metals from bedrock. The Landslide itself has taken out three cabins this winter alone, and more since 2013. Seepage flows liberally from halfway up the slide zone, flowing out between soft, loose glacial till and gray ancient glacial lake silt. County Engineers have assessed that the landslide may sit on a ?Probable Buried Valley?, indicating a possibility that the S. Fk may be rerouting itself through the slide area, eventually avoiding the oxbows and Sunset entirely. While unlikely to occur overnight, increased winter flooding could accelerate the process from both the upstream and downstream side of the slide. Such a result could bypass the proposed intake rendering the project obsolete before the project is fully paid off. Edited by jP - Today at 11:13pm |

Author: jP Subject: Copy, Paste, Remix and Send :) Posted: 16 Apr 2016 at 11:05pm Here we get into Climate Change and if you do more homework you can knock this argument out of the park. Project Likely NOT Able To Operate At Capacity -Dam Will NOT produce the projected amount of power as predicted due to Frequent Times of Inoperable Conditions (river levels too high or too low). Even if it does produce its expected output, it will only contribute 1% to SnoPID?s energy grid during The spring when Washington already produces surplus hydro power. -Climatology Projections indicate that more of our winter precipitation will arrive as rain with sharp brief spikes on the Hydrograph. Snowpack will likely not be as heavy and thus not yield a consistent spring runoff for reliable power generation. Edited by jP - Today at 11:14pm |

I will be up at the lake serene trail head for a bit and will be likely putting on at Cable drop despite the overcrowded parking. Not sure what time i might be up there look for the Tan Van at Split Rock, Cable Drop, or the confluence. |
