Public Hearing - EISs for the Proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal ...

11/3/2012
1 potentially coming off of them at the terminal. And Ted
2 just told me that they were going to mist it to keep the
3 dust down, and yet I'm concerned about where does that
4 dust go when it's in the water that they have just
5 misted?
6 And I'm concerned about my friends who live up at
7 Point Roberts, and they get coal dust six miles away and
8 how that affects them over a long term, if this is going
9 for years and years, how that affects the environment
10 around it.
11 And so I'm really concerned about our green way.
12 The eco system here is a fragile system, and I'm very
13 concerned about how those ships will be taken care of
14 under escort.
15 And I really want to know also about the 1 percent
16 that this company is going to be rewarding, who that is,
17 and how we can find out who that 1 percent is that owns
18 this coal. And why is it so often that we all -- most of
19 the people end up being almost taken advantage of to
20 support that 1 percent?
21 And so it's always very frustrating, and so I feel
22 at times that although I can speak here for minutes and
23 minutes and days, it's never heard, and that this process
24 makes me feel like supposedly we have our input, but I
25 know the process like this never does.
