9 MS. STRAUSZ-CLARK: Okay. Good morning. My name
10 is Jamie Strausz-Clark.
11 I'm a third-party consultant working for Whatcom
12 County Army Corps of Engineers and the State Department of
13 Ecology. I'm going to be moderating our discussion this
14 morning.
15 As I said a number of times, we have four hours
16 to get through 100 comments at ten minutes each, and we're
17 going to be pretty tight. So my job is to make this a safe
18 and efficient place for everyone who has a card to get their
19 comment in.
20 So with that in mind, I'm going to go over some
21 ground rules that we have for this discussion, and then
22 we'll get started.
23 First of all, I want to say on behalf of the
24 co-lead agencies that I'm glad that you're here and
25 participating in the scoping process.
