1 project is completely unacceptable. No job is worth<br />
2 that.<br />
3 Sou<strong>the</strong>rn resident orcas are a very fragile<br />
4 population. There are currently only 84 of <strong>the</strong>m. 84.<br />
5 They are endangered. They are protected by <strong>the</strong><br />
6 Endangered Species Act. They and that Act have to be<br />
7 considered and have to be made a priority in <strong>the</strong><br />
8 process of creating this EIS.<br />
9 If this project has even <strong>the</strong> slightest<br />
10 potential to impact <strong>the</strong>m in a negative way, it needs<br />
11 to be abandoned. Thank you.<br />

13 NORI PARMAN: (No card.) Hello. I'm Nori<br />
14 Parman; I've lived on <strong>the</strong> Island since 1990. I'm a<br />
15 retired sailboat captain. And <strong>the</strong>n I'm also a<br />
16 partially retired musician.<br />
17 At any rate, I totally agree with almost<br />
18 every issue that's been brought up to <strong>the</strong> challenge,<br />
19 so I'm not going to be repetitive, but I would like to<br />
20 just comment.<br />
21 I first have a question. I don't know how<br />
22 it was ever considered to transit through this area,<br />
23 through <strong>the</strong>se straits, when we have existing laws that<br />
24 protect this wildlife under <strong>the</strong> Endangered Species<br />
25 Act. So I don't see how this is even considered.<br />
