Tell Ecology That Chevron Should Clean Up-

Not Cover Up the Unocal Site!

Submit your comments to Ecology HERE by November 24.

Comments can be short or long, general or specific. Most importantly, put your comment into your own words.

Suggested Talking Points:

1.         Chevron Corporation made the mess- they need to clean it up.

2.         Potential future use of the property as a restored estuary reconnecting the Edmonds Marsh to Puget Sound needs to be included in the feasibility study.

 3.         A more accurate cost-benefit calculation is needed.

4.         Environmental hazards, especially from climate change and sea level rise, are required to be included in cleanup plan decision making.

 5.         Public Concern has not been properly weighted.

6.         A cleanup plan between Alternative #4, complete excavation, and Alternative #6, no excavation, should be considered. 

 7.         Tribal rights and interests must be included in the feasibility study.

8.         Updated soil samples are needed before the feasibility study is completed.
