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

11/3/2012
1 environmental review by the professional regulators,
2 state and federal.
3 From the construction of new export
4 terminals to the safe transportation of the coal,
5 these projects will meet or exceed all existing
6 environmental and safety standards.
7 We believe these projects can bring jobs and
8 revenue to our region. They can be done right with
9 rigorous review by government regulators and a
10 commitment to the environmental stewardship that is so
11 much a part of the heritage of the northwest.
12 There was a time a year ago when society may
13 have lacked the understanding, technology, and shared
14 commitment to achieve both a strong economy and a
15 clean safe environment.
16 Regardless of how you feel about the coal
17 exports, I hope you agree those days are behind us.
18 We can make these facilities happen. We appreciate
19 your consideration. Thank you very much.

24 hopefully express your thoughts on the impacts that
25 need to be studied.
