Hi Tyler,
2 Please anything that needs editing below text so I can post it after Friday’s press release. Thanks! Stephanie
The GPT project, which is being proposed by Pacific International Terminals, Inc., is a multi-user import and export marina terminal for bulk, break-bulk, and other marine cargoes. The project will include new rail loop tracks, covered and open terminal storage areas, and a pier and trestle connection to the terminal storage area. The property is located between the BP Refinery to the north and the INTALCO facility to the south. The project area is located in the Cherry Point Industrial Urban Growth Area (UGA), which is zoned for heavy-impact industrial land use. The property is also designated as part of the Cherry Point Management Area, under the Whatcom County's Shoreline Management Program. The facility is located within the Cherry Point State Aquatic Reserve south of Birch Bay.
The scoping period for the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Gateway Pacific Terminal and Custer Spur modifications has concluded. Scoping is a preliminary phase of the EIS process when the agencies identify potential adverse impacts and decide which of these to analyze in the EIS.
The co-lead agencies have posted the Scoping Report which summarizes comments collected at in-person scoping meetings, online and in writing, and it provides an overview of public outreach activities. The public provided approximately 125,000 comments on the scope of the upcoming environmental impact statement (EIS) during the 121-day comment period, which ran from Sept. 24, 2012, to Jan. 22, 2013. The agencies consider all comments on an equal basis, regardless of how people submitted them. The official website, www.eisgatewaypacificwa.gov, provides additional details about the scoping process, project proposals, and displays comments received.
The co-lead lead agencies plan to review and assess the input received through the public scoping period and begin work later this year on a draft EIS, which may take at least a year to prepare. The EIS will evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives, potentially affected resources, significant unavoidable adverse impacts of various alternatives, and explore possible means to avoid, minimize and mitigate effects of the proposals. The lead agencies will seek public comment on the draft EIS, and then produce a final NEPA/SEPA EIS.

Report summarizes thousands of public comments about scope of environmental review for proposed Cherry Point export terminal
BELLEVUE – The co-lead agencies reviewing a proposal for a bulk-cargo shipping terminal and rail spur improvements at Cherry Point have posted online a report summarizing and categorizing comments received during a recent public comment period.
The public provided approximately 125,000 comments on the scope of an upcoming environmental impact statement (EIS) during the 121-day comment period, which ran from Sept. 24, 2012, to Jan. 22, 2013.
The official website, www.eisgatewaypacificwa.gov, provides additional details about the scoping process, project proposals, and displays comments received.
Pacific International Terminals, a subsidiary of SSA Marine Inc. (SSA), proposes to build and operate the Gateway Pacific Terminal between Ferndale and Blaine. The terminal would provide storage and handling of exported dry bulk commodities, including coal, grain, iron ore, salts and alumina. BNSF Railway Inc. proposes to add rail facilities and install a second track along the six-mile Custer Spur.
Whatcom County, the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) together are conducting the EIS process for the proposed terminal projects and jointly will produce one EIS.
8 The Scoping Report posted today summarizes comments collected at in-person scoping meetings, online and in writing, and it provides an overview of public outreach activities. After considering the comments, the co-lead agencies will decide what should be studied in the EIS.
Scoping is a preliminary phase of the EIS process when the agencies identify potential adverse impacts and decide which of these to analyze in the EIS. The EIS will evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives, potentially affected resources, significant unavoidable adverse impacts of various alternatives, and explore possible means to avoid, minimize and mitigate effects of the proposals.
Whatcom County and Ecology must follow the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and the Corps must follow the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The joint NEPA/SEPA EIS process enables the co-lead agencies to avoid duplicated efforts where the two laws overlap, while meeting each statute’s separate requirements. Parts of the joint EIS process described on the website apply to both statutes and parts apply to one or the other.
The scoping process does not address whether the proposal should receive permits. Scoping only helps define what will be studied in the EIS. Decisions about issuing permits to construct the proposed projects will not be made until after the EIS is complete.
The co-lead lead agencies plan to review and assess the input received through the public scoping period and begin work later this year on a draft EIS, which may take at least a year to prepare. The lead agencies will seek public comment on the draft EIS, and then produce a final NEPA/SEPA EIS.

Feed: Politics blog Posted on: Monday, April 01, 2013 10:36 AM Author: John Stark Subject: Regulatory agencies summarize Gateway Pacific Terminal scoping comments
The regulatory agencies joining forces on the environmental study of the Gateway Pacific Terminal coal export pier have issued a report summarizing the comments received on the scope of that study.
Read the report here.
UPDATE: The comments from federal and state agencies may be of special interest. With few exceptions, those agencies join environmentalists in calling for a sweeping scope of study for this terminal. Those comments begin on p. 81.
The Washington Department of Commerce is the only such agency aligning itself firmly with Gateway Pacific’s backers. The Commerce comment letter asks that regulatory agencies not establish “new precedents under state law that would unduly burden a wide variety of future projects.”
The Washington Department of Agriculture, whose leaders had expressed some enthusiasm for Gateway Pacific as a possible export outlet for wheat, expresses misgivings in its comment letter. Agriculture’s letter calls for an analysis of the project’s impacts on rail traffic throughout the state, especially as increased demands on rail capacity might affect the availability of rail for crops that are already reliant on access to a share of that capacity.
Agriculture officials also want study of possible disruption of rail links to existing agricultural ports, and how changes in air and water quality could affect agriculture.
The document made public April 1, 2013 is a summary of comments, not the key decision on what the scope of the environmental impact statement for Gateway Pacific will be. The summary says that decision will be made “in the near future.” I have asked for (but will not necessarily get) some specific information on what “near” means in this context.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington Department of Ecology, and Whatcom County Planning Department are pooling their resources to develop a single environmental impact statement to analyze how SSA Marine’s proposed Cherry Point terminal will affect the environment, and what steps would need to be taken to compensate for (mitigate) any negative effects.
22 Opponents of the terminal have argued that the environmental impact statement must study global and regional impacts, not just local ones. Global impacts would include climate change and its associated ills (rising sea level, ocean acidification) from the burning of exported coal in China. Gov. Jay Inslee recently joined Oregon Gov. Jon Kitzhaber in calling for such a review by the federal government.
Regional impacts would include the possible disruptions from increased rail traffic from Cherry Point to the mines in the Powder River basin of Wyoming and Montana. The terminal would attract an estimated nine loaded trains per day–trains that would pass through Bellingham and Ferndale on their way to Cherry Point. They would return empty along the same route.
During recent hearings on Bellingham waterfront development, many commenters expressed fears that waterfront revitalization efforts would be hamstrung by the railroad tracks that slice through the old Georgia‐ Pacific Corp. mill site.
But the business interests and labor unions backing Gateway Pacific have argued that an environmental impact statement that is too broad and comprehensive would be unfair, setting a precedent that could harm other proposals. They characterize a review of global impacts as “bureaucracy.”

Hello Tyler, Randel, and Alice:
The scoping summary report is impressive. Well done! I quickly reviewed the document and focused on the issues section. I was not able to determine if my comment on the legitimacy of a variance request was acknowledged or identified in the scoping document. A critical areas variance would be required for the currently proposed project; however, such a variance would look at other less damaging alternatives, including the existing valid permits the proponent has in hand for a reduced‐scope project.

Tyler,
I am about to send a Waiver from Pre‐Application Meeting form to Cheri Howard for the proposed meteorological tower for the site on Henry Road. We discussed this briefly. I want to be sure from your perspective that we are comfortable accepting application for this tower at the location in question, for all the reasons with which you are very familiar, thus making it comfortable to issue the waiver. Please confirm or call if you wish.

Yes, a Pre-App Waiver is appropriate for this proposal. I sent Cheri and Ari an email with the documents that are needed when the permit is submitted. I recommend that this email is referred to on the waiver.
Thanks,

Bellemy,
I am responding to your inquiry on behalf of the co-lead agencies.
The Scoping Summary Report is for the purpose of describing the scoping process and the comments received in a concise and readable document. The co-lead agencies decided to issue the Scoping Summary Report prior to making preliminary "scope" decisions. This was to be responsive to the public who participated in Scoping and to provide the summary as soon as it was ready. After more thoroughly reviewing the comments and conducting internal policy reviews, the co lead agencies will determine the preliminary scope of the Draft EIS in the near future.

Report summarizes thousands of public comments about scope of environmental review for proposed Cherry Point export terminal
BELLEVUE – The co-lead agencies reviewing a proposal for a bulk-cargo shipping terminal and rail spur improvements at Cherry Point have posted online a report summarizing and categorizing comments received during a recent public comment period.
The public provided approximately 125,000 comments on the scope of an upcoming environmental impact statement (EIS) during the 121-day comment period, which ran from Sept. 24, 2012, to Jan. 22, 2013.
The official website, www.eisgatewaypacificwa.gov, provides additional details about the scoping process, project proposals, and displays comments received.
Pacific International Terminals, a subsidiary of SSA Marine Inc. (SSA), proposes to build and operate the Gateway Pacific Terminal between Ferndale and Blaine. The terminal would provide storage and handling of exported dry bulk commodities, including coal, grain, iron ore, salts and alumina. BNSF Railway Inc. proposes to add rail facilities and install a second track along the six-mile Custer Spur.
Whatcom County, the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) together are conducting the EIS process for the proposed terminal projects and jointly will produce one EIS.
The Scoping Report posted today summarizes comments collected at in-person scoping meetings, online and in writing, and it provides an overview of public outreach activities. After considering the comments, the co-lead agencies will decide what should be studied in the EIS.
Scoping is a preliminary phase of the EIS process when the agencies identify potential adverse impacts and decide which of these to analyze in the EIS. The EIS will evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives, potentially 28 affected resources, significant unavoidable adverse impacts of various alternatives, and explore possible means to avoid, minimize and mitigate effects of the proposals.
Whatcom County and Ecology must follow the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and the Corps must follow the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The joint NEPA/SEPA EIS process enables the co-lead agencies to avoid duplicated efforts where the two laws overlap, while meeting each statute’s separate requirements. Parts of the joint EIS process described on the website apply to both statutes and parts apply to one or the other.
The scoping process does not address whether the proposal should receive permits. Scoping only helps define what will be studied in the EIS. Decisions about issuing permits to construct the proposed projects will not be made until after the EIS is complete.
The co-lead lead agencies plan to review and assess the input received through the public scoping period and begin work later this year on a draft EIS, which may take at least a year to prepare. The lead agencies will seek public comment on the draft EIS, and then produce a final NEPA/SEPA EIS.

Oliver,
I am glad that you found the scoping summary report as an impressive document. We have reviewed your comment and more specifically it was submitted online on 1/21 and can be seen here: http://www.eisgatewaypacificwa.gov/get- involved/comment/10599. Your comment was marked as a general public comment since there was no indication that is was being submitted on behalf of any specific group or organization. We did not include a section specifically for local process-type comments in the Summary, but your comment is noted and has been reviewed.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Tyler, Randel, and Alice:
The scoping summary report is impressive. Well done! I quickly reviewed the document and focused on the issues section. I was not able to determine if my comment on the legitimacy of a variance request was acknowledged or identified in the scoping document. A critical areas variance would be required for the currently proposed project; however, such a variance would look at other less damaging alternatives, including the existing valid permits the proponent has in hand for a reduced‐scope project. Can you please verify that this comment was included in the report and where?

Coos Bay port ends coal terminal project
April 1, 2013 The World
COOS BAY — A project aiming to ship U.S. coal to Asia through Coos Bay’s port is dead, after the port ended its relationship with a California terminal operator.
The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay had ended its exclusive negotiating agreement with Metropolitan Stevedoring Co. The company, also known as Metro Ports, had been the port’s last remaining partner in what was known as Project Mainstay, which originally had included Mitsui & Co. and the Korean Electric Power Corp. The project’s demise had appeared likely since the port confirmed last month the two Asian companies had pulled out.
“The port is moving on to the next phase,” said port CEO David Koch in a news release. “We will focus on pursuing a viable maritime development project that can capitalize on the Coos Bay harbor’s unique characteristics – developable land, an extremely short transit to Pacific trade routes and an experienced maritime labor force.”
Project Mainstay had aimed to develop a bulk coal export terminal on Coos Bay’s North Spit. The proposed terminal was harshly criticized by environmental groups, who alleged rail-based coal exports would pose unacceptable health and environmental risks.
The coal terminal had been viewed as a means to pay for expensive upgrades to the port-owned Coos Bay Rail Link, which runs trains between Eugene and the coast. Ending the project clouds the railroad’s future.
The port’s news release said port officials plan to discuss other import/export opportunities involving port-owned industrial property. Those discussions could lead the port to solicit proposals for various marine cargo opportunities, the release said.
The port launched Project Mainstay in 2011. Since then, the exclusive negotiating agreement was extended several times, but it expired March 31 and won’t be renewed, the port’s news release said. http://theworldlink.com/news/local/coos-bay-port-ends-coal-terminal-project/article_e1bbf2ee-9b3d-11e2-b55a-0019bb2963f4.html?comment_form=true

At the bottom of my email, I have put the questions/s above each press release that I had questions about. Also, I was just curious, when a press release is sent out to different publications is there a record anywhere to show if the release was ever published, and if so, when?

Stephanie – As you recall, CH2MHILL had hoped to replace Attachment A of Contract Amendment No. 2, because a couple representative individuals were not placed with the correct billing titles. The billing rates are tied to the billing categorization as approved in the contract (see below in Lisa Miller’s email), not to the individuals. We are committed to and will continue to bill according to the billing rates as approved in the contract. Please confirm this understanding. We apologize for any confusion we may have caused.

Jodi, Hope you are doing well. I have some questions regarding Appendix E, News Releases, in the Scoping Report that was released recently. At the bottom of my email, I have put the questions/s above each press release that I had questions about. Also, I was just curious, when a press release is sent out to different publications is there a record anywhere to show if the release was ever published, and if so, when?
I would appreciate it if you could answer them for me after you check to make sure your protocol is followed for communicating with me. Thank you. Regards,

Hi Stephanie,
Could you please let me know if the GPT escrow reimbursement of $99,339.34 was made last week? I set it up in advance to be paid and want to verify it worked. I also set up replenishment of the account for $190,069.06 for April 24 the same way so this is a good advance check the system works.
Thanks,

It was just brought to my attention that Pacific International Terminals is asking the public to send letters of support for the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal to County Council members. Please see http://gatewaypacificterminal.com/sign-a-letter-of-support/.
Given the regulatory process precludes the council from considering anything other than the record received from a hearing officer and his or her recommendation, in a closed-door session, it is wholly inappropriate for the terminal proponent to encourage the public to communicate with the Council about a matter in which they would sit in a quasi-judicial capacity. The stated purpose of the public letters is to influence the council's determination: "By demonstrating concrete support ... we’ll be able to make Gateway Pacific Terminal a reality!"
PIT is informing the members of the public that their letters will be sent to the council the moment they "hit 'Sign The Letter' [button on the webpage]" which is either not true or means that the councilmembers are indeed receiving the letters. While I trust them to disregard such communications, I have no doubt that the subject line of the emails reflects support for the terminal. Whether intended or not, a consequence of this action is that the council will be aware of the fact that they are receiving some volume of communications from supporters of the terminal and not opponents, because the opposition to the best of my knowledge has respected the county's position about strict application of the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine and has not launched such a letter-writing campaign.
This attempt to turn what should be a regulatory process into a political one is not merely inappropriate, but the proponents should be directed to cease this activity. Please notify me what action, if any, is taken.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Is there justified cause to declare that the conditions of the permit application have been breached and the application is invalid under Washington State law on the Appearances of Fairness Doctrine and requiring that the proponent resubmit the application and the lead agencies to redo the scoping process. I, among others, have new information and details for elaboration that would improve the record. I am of the opinion based on present knowledge, information and belief, that an instruction to the proponent to cease and desist from the office of the co-leads is an adequate and just remedy.

14 From: christine
To: The Agencies preparing the EIS for Gateway Pacific Terminal,
Since it will lie in the hand sof the Whatcom Council to decide the fate of the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal, and since the public has been restricted since the on-set of scoping to communicating in any way with the Whatcom County Council, why is it now fair and/or legal for Pacific International Terminals, the subsidiary for SSA Marine, to try and gather up signatures from proponents via their website: http://gatewaypacificterminal.com/sign-a-letter-of-support.? These "letters of support" are supposed to be delivered to the Whatcom County council, which seems contrary to the "Appearance of Fairness Doctrine" mandated by the Council.
I would appreciate knowing when and if this activity will be disgarded and ignored.
Respectfully submitted,

We are meeting with Ecology, WDFW, and WEC Monday at 2 at the Bellevue Ecology office to discuss our plan to implement the settlement agreement. You are certainly welcome to attend. I have been assuming though, based on our earlier conversation, that you would prefer to leave this primarily to the other parties, and in particular to the agencies with special expertise. We will plan to copy you, of course, to document any actions to implement the agreement.

Please see the attached document. Washington State University, the University of Washington and the Oregon Health Policy Institute are collaborating on a proposal to perform a comprehensive Health Impact Assessment in the Pacific Northwest (they were invited and offered baseline funding from Pew). Seattle and King County have contributed additional funding for the project, and the collaborators can use assistance from other jurisdictions that might be interested in the findings from the HIA (which is probably all of us). In kind contributions are welcome ‐ we are considering offering some epidemiology staff FTE for assistance in this project. They're still at the scoping stage, so this might be a time to provide input .into the HIA

Good Day Tyler
I came across the challenge to the EIS RR consultants doing my CWB duty of catching up on correspondence but I am writing this note exclusively as an individual to share my own experience* when I was assisting CWB in finding a RR consultant for "due diligence" on the materials we had researched from the State (we needed to make sure nothing had changed like new Positive Train Control systems or the possibility of fleeting, etc. which would influence the states analysis of the chokepoint).
You already know that I am an advocate of maximum transparency and openness in public process and so I would preface my other comments by saying that examining the issues raised by that letter is truly important. Being sure that the entire permit application and EIS process is conducted not only within the letter of the law but also within a robust spirit of the law is not only prudent but could become important in any future litigation.
That being said I can tell you from my interviews with the consultant who was the author of our two studies was himself a former BNSF employee who worked extensively on the corridor through Whatcom County for the RR as well as a major consultant on many WSDOT and Sound Transit projects (even some in BC). I can also say that even though he was entirely professional in his work and in his discussions (avoiding opinions in favor of analysis) it was easy to understand that he was an unabashed fan of railroads and would likely think that the double tracking of the Bellingham waterfront was a great idea from his railroader perspective. This seems to be a prevalent aspect of even public sector transportation specialists, e.g., at WCOG as well as their consultants.
I believe that it human nature for transportation folks - who are, after all, primarily involved with finding ways to make RR's work - to take a positive initial view toward pretty much any "improvements" to the system (and I don't mean that to denigrate this position).
What was important to me was that he was a recognized expert in his field, was widely published, and I saw his unguarded work as a respected regular contributor in active railroad forums. Observing his contributions demonstrated that he had a "just the facts please" approach that made important contributions to the arguments of the day (where advocates of particular positions often stretched facts or history). So I knew that he acted as a professional in private as well as in public. The objective of the work we were considering was to check facts, not to form an opinion about whether the results from those facts was a good idea or not.
I know that your own consultants have a record that can be reviewed. Their work, especially as expert witnesses in courts or administrative proceedings, should provide a reasonable basis for a judgement about how professional their approach has been. I must say I have no reason to doubt the professionalism of these consultants** nor that CH2M Hill has already vetted that issue (as they should have). I do suggest, however, some due diligence is prudent given specific issues that have been raised. Clearly a fundamental issue here is of independence and professionalism, these consultants will be providing analysis - not making decisions. I suspect that it would be very difficult to find consultants helpful for the issues being considered that do not come from a Class1 railroad background.
25 Have a good day. jack
* which means I didn't consult staff or the board so they are exempt from any heat this email may draw (and it seems very little can be said about tthis project without offending someone).

I have spoken with Regina about your request for support and funding of an independent comprehensive HIA. As part of Whatcom County, the SEPA lead agency for the GPT proposal permitting process, we are working with the SEPA official and the EIS contractor on the health assessment component of the EIS and providing a public health perspective to the co‐lead agencies. Because of our role within the permitting process and EIS development, we cannot participate in activities related to the proposal outside of the formal EIS and health assessment component. Any health assessment for the EIS determined necessary by the co‐leads agencies will be paid for by the project applicant.

Following is a request I've sent to members of my Board of Health, asking that they ask their cities to provide funding for a Health Impact Assessment of the proposed Pacific Gateway Coal Terminal. Please consider asking appropriate municipalities to contribute to the effort. I think the public health community needs a credible HIA lest we be accused of making recommendations in the absence of sufficient evidence.
Gary
From: Gary Goldbaum Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 4:12 PM To: 'Linda Grafer ([email protected])' Cc: Melissa Ahern ([email protected]) Subject: Health Impacts Assessment of the Pacific Gateway Coal Terminal Proposal
Linda, I'm writing to ask that you bring a request for funding to the Mukilteo City Council.
27 The public health community is concerned about the potential health impacts of the proposed Pacific Gateway Coal Terminal, but we do not believe enough is known to make an informed decision. Washington State University (WSU), the UW School of Public Health, and the Oregon Public Health Institute (OPHI) propose to conduct a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of the coal terminal proposal. An HIA is a comprehensive study of health impacts of a project, beyond simply the local impacts that are usually addressed by an environmental impact study. The coal terminal could have many regional impacts and so deserves this broader study. I've attached two documents‐a 2‐page description of the proposed HIA and a schematic that suggests some of the possible impacts (both positive & negative) of the proposed coal terminal.
To conduct a full HIA will cost between $250,000‐300,000. The Pew Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation together have invited a proposal for funding up to $125,000, if sufficient local funds can be raised to complete the HIA. Seattle and King County have pledged $25,000 each for $50,000 to start. I understand that several smaller jurisdictions (including Marysville) have committed $5,000‐$10,000 each. However, I know that at least another $100,000 is needed.
The WSU, UW, & OPHI researchers are asking other municipalities to consider contributions toward the assessment in the neighborhood of $5,000‐$10,000. The final scope of work for the HIA will be determined in part by the level of funding secured. In the next several weeks, a full proposal will be submitted that must include letters of intent from municipalities and other contributors that demonstrate that the balance of the funding required for the full scope of work will ultimately be secured. So, time is of the essence.
Rob Gala of the City of Seattle has already made a similar request to Mayor Marine at the City of Mukilteo, so this may prove redundant. However, I believe that your support is critical.
I'm ccing Melissa Ahern, the lead researcher at WSU who is my main contact. She can address any technical questions that you or your fellow council members might have. I'm also available to help in anyway needed.

Ms. Holder:
The scoping report did include a summary of the comments, but just to provide general information about the types of comments received. The summary was meant to be informative for the public. The co‐lead agencies will not be basing their decisions on the summary. Our decisions will be based on the substantive information from all comments.

I am writing to express concern and ask a question about the process for consideration of public comments made during scoping for the EIS for the proposed Gateway Terminal at Cherry Point. The question was raised in the public education meeting in Bellingham held by the agencies in March 2012. It was not directly answered at that meeting, and residents from Skagit County left that meeting wondering whether the agencies would actually read or hear the scoping comments made by the public. The Scoping Report prepared by CH2MHill leaves the question yet unanswered.
CH2MHill reviewers acknowledge that the Scoping Report is a "windshield survey" of the comments. In fact the comments contained unique information, requests for study, perspectives, and scientific, technical and even legal points pertinent to the proposals. The Scoping Report says on p. 5‐3:
"The approximately 125,000 comments received during the scoping period reflected a wide variety of scoping requests, perspectives, issues of concern, and ideas. Many respondents expressed similar issues of concern but with unique details and varying degrees of specificity, and it should be noted that in many cases the summaries do not provide the specific details unique to each of these comments nor do they reflect the positive or negative expression or degree of intensity, even if the specific supporting comments exhibited such expression."
My question is whether the decision about the scope of the EIS will be based solely upon the abbreviation provided by the Scoping Report. Based upon my familiarity with many of the scoping comments that were made, I am concerned that a decision about scope based upon this Scoping Report without hands on analysis by the agencies would skew the
29 process and result in an EIS process that, having requested specific comments be made by members of the public, proceeds to ignore them.
Thank you.

Hi Tyler, I'm a reporter for the Northern Light Newspaper, which serves Blaine and Birch Bay, WA. Our readership lives and works within the UGA where the GPT would be built, so our readers have been active and involved in the scoping process, including during the commenting period.
The report summarizinge th comments came out April 1, and I was impressed by the breadth and depth of the document. Filing through 125,000 comments must have been a monumental task, and I would like to talk to someone who was involved in sorting through and reading the comments to ask them about the process: how was it organized, how long did it take, how many people were involved and what was it like?
Can you please put me in touch with the right person?
Thanks,

Jodi, Thank you very much for the answers to most of the questions I had asked, I do still have some outstanding questions that I did not receive an answer on or a complete answer on. I have highlighted your answers in red and the questions that I had that are still unanswered are highlighted in blue. There are not many ,so hopefully you can complete this without much time from your busy day. They are as follows:
1). How many Determination of Significance announcement mailings were mailed out to residents living near the GPT site and the Custer Spur? Notification process is described in Chapter 2 of the Scoping report. Who determined who these notices were sent out to and how was that determination made? Notices were sent to all addresses and property owners immediately adjacent to the proposed project site. In addition, notice was sent either by letter or email to anyone who had requested to receive information about the Gateway Pacific Terminal. —I am still wanting to know the number of Determination of Significance mailings that were sent out to residents/property owners that are considered immediately adjacent to GPT, and then the number of those sent to the area considered immediately adjacent to Custer Spur. If you can only give me a total number, then I guess that's okay, but I would hope to have a number for each location. I do not need/want the number of Interested Party (those that asked you to be notified) letters you said were sent out via mail. —And, again, who made the determination of the designated areas considered immediately adjacent and how can someone find out if they were on that list?
3). In what specific newspaper publications were notifications regarding the EIS public scoping meetings published? What date/s were those notifications/ads placed? Can I get a copy or view a copy of one of those that was sent out? See Table 1 and Appendix D and E of the Scoping Report. —In Appendix D Table 1 shown in the Scoping Report it shows that there were 2 scoping hearing notice advertisements placed in the Ferndale Record, one on October 17, 2012 and one on November, 21, 2012. I see the copy of the Ferndale Record November 21st advertisement, but there is no copy provided for the October 17th. Do you have a copy of that ad and can you either send that to me or somehow add that to the scoping report since it was not in there, yet it is listed in Table 1 in Appendix D.
5). Was there a mailing done of some kind of postcards or information sheets regarding the commencement of EIS scoping period sent out to residents in the communities near the GPT site? If so, how many were mailed out and what date/s were those mailed out? See Chapter 2 of the Scoping Report.
34 6). Was there a mailing done of some kind of postcards or information sheets regarding the commencement of EIS scoping period sent out to residents in the communities near or along the Custer Spur? If so, how many were mailed out and what date/s were those mailed out? See Chapter 2 of the Scoping Report. —For both questions 5 and 6, In looking at Chapter 2 in the Scoping Report it says "This example scoping notice was sent to potentially interested parties and provided information about public meetings and opportunities to learn more about the proposals." So, am I correct in understanding that the example shown that was sent out was only sent to potentially interested parties who requested to be sent information and was not sent to out as a mailing to the immediate adjacent residents/property owners to the GPT site and Custer Spur area? Please clarify.
13). Was there an email list of stakeholders created? If so, can I find a record of that email list of names somewhere and if not, can you send me a copy? Were emails sent out to them about the start and duration of the scoping period and information about the public scoping hearings? Anyone who requested to receive project information was placed on the Interested Parties email list. Names were added to the email list throughout the scoping period. At the beginning of the scoping comment period (September 24, 2012) the Co-Lead Agencies sent an email to 1,634 people on the Interested Members of the public list to announce the scoping meetings. The Co-Lead Agencies sent an email on November 7, 2012 to 2,547 people and then again on December 4, 2012 to 3,085 people on the Interested Members of the Public list to remind them of the address/date change to the Seattle meeting. The email included details about the scoping period and how to provide a comment. At of the end of the scoping period on January 22, 2013, the GPT EIS Interested Members of the Public list includes approximately 8,000 entries. The Co-Lead Agencies will continue to update this list as the process continues and will send email notifications at key milestones. —So, if I understand correctly, the agencies identified Stakeholders and then interviewed them, but they would only receive emails from agencies with important information such as Scoping period notice or Scoping hearing information if individuals had requested to be on an Interested Party list. Is this correct? So, being identified and interviewed as a Stakeholder was for the initial Stakeholder interview regarding scoping process input?
I thank you in advance for getting the last of my answers. I appreciate it and know that you are busy, but hope you can get the answers to me shortly as they are really from questions that I originally had asked in my February 26th email, not new questions.
Sincerely,

Jodi, I meant to include this in my previous email today. In the Scoping Report Appendix B, the Determination of Significance, it has a mailing list with names and addresses on it. I noticed some of those on the list were listed as Adjacent to Property Owner, and of those listed Adjacent some were businesses and some looked to be residents. Is this the full and complete list that would designate mailings that were sent out with a Determination of Significance? Were there any additional residential property owners that were not on this list or is this list all of them considered to be immediate Adjacent?
I have copied and pasted a photo I took of that page in the Scoping Report Appendix B document showing only the listed residents' names. Please let me know. Thank you. Regards,

Tyler,
At our meeting the week before last I asked Jodi if CH2M Hill still had the presentation boards used at the scoping meetings. We would like to borrow them if possible for a presentation to avoid re‐printing them for a single use. Could you please check if the boards are in storage and if so, could we borrow them for a meeting in early May?
Thanks,
Ari

Patricia,
ORA has been maintaining a website to support the multi‐agency permit (MAP) team associated with the Gateway Pacific Terminal project. One of the links was to a press release issued by the Army Corps in June 2011 that described why an EIS would be pursued. I cannot find thats pres release on your site – and the link that was there is broken. Can you help? If that release is no longer available on the Corps site I will delete it, but thought I’d try you first. Thanks much. Jane

Subject: RE: LDP2011-00054 Gateway Pacific Terminal Land Disturbance Permit Extension Request
Dear Mr. Schroeder:
On October 12, 2011, Whatcom County issued the above referenced Land Disturbance Permit which authorized previous and planned land disturbance related to geotechnical work on Pacific International Terminals, Inc. property, Whatcom County, Washington.
On December 11, 2012 you granted an extension until May 25, 2013.
As you are aware, additional authorizations to implement the work were required from the Department of Ecology and US Army Corps of Engineers. Those approvals remain pending at this time due to ongoing negotiations with the Tribes under Section 106. Therefore, the remaining geotechnical investigation and the required restoration and reforestation have not been completed at this time. We fully intend to complete the geotechnical investigation and implement the restoration and reforestation plans once the Ecology and USACE authorizations are granted.
With this letter, I am requesting an extension on the time limit for LDP2011-00054.
Please feel free to contact me, or Ari Steinberg if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Skip Sahlin Vice President, Project Management Pacific International Terminals, Inc.

All,
I wanted to get your input to the latest quarterly report (January – March 2013). Please let me know if any corrections by this Friday (4/19). I plan to send an e‐mail update next Monday (4/22).
As you know, this month we let the applicant and state and other MAP team agencies know that the MAP team is on ‘hold.’ This has really been the case for many months – since the co‐lead agencies began the formal EIS process – but was verbalized following the close of scoping in a few meetings that were held in early April. In the next quarterly report (April‐June) I’ll be clarifying what that means (i.e., regulatory agencies will be engaged as needed and directed by you all, with ORAs help as requested, primarily by Ecology).
I will continue to keep the GPT MAP team website up to date (http://www.ezview.wa.gov/pr/site/alias__1357/0/Default.aspx) since it contains records (reports, permit documents, settlement agreement documents, etc.) that are not readily available on other websites.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Jane

Jodi, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to follow up with you to first confirm that you received my 4/13 email forwarded below. I had also sent you an email that same evening shortly after sending that as I had forgotten an additional question/clarification regarding the DOS notice mailed out that you said were mailed out to adjacent addresses and property owners I had forgotten to include.
First, if you could please let me know that you received both of these emails I would really appreciate it. If however, you did not received them, I can re-send them. I understand that as busy as you all must be that it sometimes takes time to get back to me, but I do hope you would be able to get back to me soon, as these were the original questions I had sent to you back in February and I'm eager to get these answered fully.
Thank you very much for your assistance and attention to this matter. Regards,

From: Sandy Robson
Jodi, Thank you very much for the answers to most of the questions I had asked, I do still have some outstanding questions that I did not receive an answer on or a complete answer on. I have highlighted your answers in red and the questions that I had that are still unanswered are highlighted in blue. There are not many ,so hopefully you can complete this without much time from your busy day. They are as follows:
1). How many Determination of Significance announcement mailings were mailed out to residents living near the GPT site and the Custer Spur? Notification process is described in Chapter 2 of the Scoping report. 42 Who determined who these notices were sent out to and how was that determination made? Notices were sent to all addresses and property owners immediately adjacent to the proposed project site. In addition, notice was sent either by letter or email to anyone who had requested to receive information about the Gateway Pacific Terminal. —I am still wanting to know the number of Determination of Significance mailings that were sent out to residents/property owners that are considered immediately adjacent to GPT, and then the number of those sent to the area considered immediately adjacent to Custer Spur. If you can only give me a total number, then I guess that's okay, but I would hope to have a number for each location. I do not need/want the number of Interested Party (those that asked you to be notified) letters you said were sent out via mail. —And, again, who made the determination of the designated areas considered immediately adjacent and how can someone find out if they were on that list?
3). In what specific newspaper publications were notifications regarding the EIS public scoping meetings published? What date/s were those notifications/ads placed? Can I get a copy or view a copy of one of those that was sent out? See Table 1 and Appendix D and E of the Scoping Report. —In Appendix D Table 1 shown in the Scoping Report it shows that there were 2 scoping hearing notice advertisements placed in the Ferndale Record, one on October 17, 2012 and one on November, 21, 2012. I see the copy of the Ferndale Record November 21st advertisement, but there is no copy provided for the October 17th. Do you have a copy of that ad and can you either send that to me or somehow add that to the scoping report since it was not in there, yet it is listed in Table 1 in Appendix D.
5). Was there a mailing done of some kind of postcards or information sheets regarding the commencement of EIS scoping period sent out to residents in the communities near the GPT site? If so, how many were mailed out and what date/s were those mailed out? See Chapter 2 of the Scoping Report. 6). Was there a mailing done of some kind of postcards or information sheets regarding the commencement of EIS scoping period sent out to residents in the communities near or along the Custer Spur? If so, how many were mailed out and what date/s were those mailed out? See Chapter 2 of the Scoping Report. —For both questions 5 and 6, In looking at Chapter 2 in the Scoping Report it says "This example scoping notice was sent to potentially interested parties and provided information about public meetings and opportunities to learn more about the proposals." So, am I correct in understanding that the example shown that was sent out was only sent to potentially interested parties who requested to be sent information and was not sent to out as a mailing to the immediate adjacent residents/property owners to the GPT site and Custer Spur area? Please clarify.
13). Was there an email list of stakeholders created? If so, can I find a record of that email list of names somewhere and if not, can you send me a copy? Were emails sent out to them about the start and duration of the scoping period and information about the public scoping hearings? Anyone who requested to receive project information was placed on the Interested Parties email list. Names were added to the email list throughout the scoping period. At the beginning of the scoping comment period (September 24, 2012) the Co-Lead Agencies sent an email to 1,634 people on the Interested Members of the public list to announce the scoping meetings. The Co-Lead Agencies sent an email on November 7, 2012 to 2,547 people and then again on December 4, 2012 to 3,085 people on the Interested Members of the Public list to remind them of the address/date change to the Seattle meeting. The email included details about the scoping
43 period and how to provide a comment. At of the end of the scoping period on January 22, 2013, the GPT EIS Interested Members of the Public list includes approximately 8,000 entries. The Co-Lead Agencies will continue to update this list as the process continues and will send email notifications at key milestones. —So, if I understand correctly, the agencies identified Stakeholders and then interviewed them, but they would only receive emails from agencies with important information such as Scoping period notice or Scoping hearing information if individuals had requested to be on an Interested Party list. Is this correct? So, being identified and interviewed as a Stakeholder was for the initial Stakeholder interview regarding scoping process input?

Gateway Pacific Terminal agencies review 125,000 public comments to determine scoping requirements http://www.thenorthernlight.com/news/article.exm/2013-04- 17_gateway_pacific_terminal_agencies_review_125_000_public_comments_to_determine_scoping_requirements
Published on Wed, Apr 17, 2013 by Ian Ferguson
A 140-page report summarizing the nearly 125,000 public comments concerning the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal (GPT) at Cherry Point was released April 1, and is available online at eisgatewaypacificwa.gov.
Over a 120-day commenting period, an average of more than 1,000 comments were submitted per day. In all, 124,889 comments were submitted between September 24, 2012 and January 21, 2013.
The dry bulk commodities terminal project would require beefing up railroad facilities to accommodate shipments intended for export, including coal from the Powder River Basin. The project application was submitted by Pacific International Terminals, a subsidiary of SSA Marine Inc. The state department of ecology, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Whatcom County are co-lead agencies in charge of reviewing the proposal.
The public was asked to comment on what they considered the potential impacts of the project would be. With the summary completed, it is up to SSA Marine and its contractors to address those concerns in the EIS, which should be released in 2014 or 2015. The engineering firm CH2M Hill reviewed, categorized and summarized the comments, which were submitted by mail, email, verbally at scoping meetings, in bulk email form letters and in handwritten notes.
“The entire review process required a lot of time and a small team of people,” said CH2M lead Jodi Ketelston. “We had one person scanning, one person uploading and a few people reviewing and summarizing comments. The summarizing was done using a single document that was accessible to the team. Each issue raised in the comments was added to the document and noted who made the comment.”
The report categorizes comments based on where and how they were received as well as by their issue of concern. Of the 124,889 comments, 108,995 were received as signatures on bulk form letters from various groups in support or opposed to the project, 1,207 were verbal comments submitted during scoping meetings and 14,687 were submitted individually in writing.
Concerns raised included the impact of higher rail traffic on traffic delays at railroad crossings and how many living wage jobs at the terminal would be available for county residents.
46 Federal agencies also weighed in. The U.S. Forest Service wanted the EIS to study how federal forest land such as Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area would be impacted by fire-causing sparks, noise and coal dust pollution from increased rail traffic. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requested that the EIS study the health impacts of coal dust, train noise and fire danger to nearby neighborhoods.
Representatives from the Lummi Nation voiced concerns about threats to watersheds and fisheries, as well as properties and resources of cultural significance. Children at Lummi schools sent 150 letters, many of which stressed the importance of fishing, crabbing and clamming in the waters near Cherry Point.
“The water is part of our culture. We use it to fish, crab, dig clams, canoe race and for the canoe journey,” student Savanah LaClair stated in her letter.
State agencies chimed in, with (former) Washington Department of Commerce director Rogers Weed requesting a study of the project’s economic benefits as well the public costs.
By and large, the comments called for a broad review of the direct and indirect impacts of all phases of the project, including increases to mining and burning coal once the terminal is up and running.
In summarizing the data, CH2M did not prioritize issues based on how many comments were received concerning them, but did make a note of common themes. “The purpose of the report is to record all issues raised and make sure they are considered when preparing the EIS,” Ketelston said.

Good Morning Tony, Please see attached page from the Contract Amendment No. 1.
The way it is worded, the following apply: Section 3.3: County provides a copy of the invoice to PIT 14 days prior to disbursement. Section 3.3: Escrow Agent shall release the amount within 10 days of the receipt. Section 3.2: PIT shall supplement the escrow account within 20 days after each release of funds.
Therefore, The County provides PIT a copy of the invoice (in this case, on 4/17/13) County sends Disbursement Request to Escrow Agent 14 days after that (5/6/13) Escrow Agent has 10 days to release the funds (until 5/16/13). In 8 out of the 8 requests since September 2012, they have released the funds the day after (5/7/13) So, as per Section 3.2, PIT has 20 days after the release of the funds to supplement the escrow account (5/27/13)
It was my understanding from Ari that he felt that this 20 day date we were providing was helpful to him. If you would like, I can leave off the ’20 days after the release’ date from our emails. This would require you and Ari to keep checking the Escrow Account to find the actual release date each month in order to start your 20 day count. Keeping in mind, if you miss this date (which has occurred on three occasions), you will not be following what is legally required per contract.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Stephanie

Stephanie,
I’m confused. In the attached disbursement request you ask the escrow agent to disburse funds on or before May 16th. Below you indicate you are asking the escrow agent to make the disbursement on May 6th and you later indicate the escrow agent will likely disburse funds on May 7th.
Why are you counting 20‐days from when you think the escrow agent will make the disbursement rather than when your written correspondence requests the disbursement? Given the large dollar values involved, SSA does not want to reimburse the escrow account until legally required.

Ari & Skip,
Please see the approved detailed invoice from CH2M Hill dated April 9, 2013 (attached). I will be providing the request to the escrow agent for payment on May 6, 2013 (attached). This is being provided for your records as indicated in the Reimbursement of Costs and Fees Agreement, section 3.3. The escrow agent will most likely disburse funds on May 7, 2013, so your date to replenish the account by will be 20 days after that (May 27, 2013).

Stephanie,
It seems the confusion lies with the date you ask the banks to disburse versus when they disburse. If you ask the banks to disburse on a specific date (rather than no later than a specific date) I think it would resolve the problem. Carrix is paying interest in funds disbursed to the escrow account so we would like to minimize, to the extent possible, the time funds sit in the escrow account undisbursed. We appreciate your cooperation to help us achieve this goal.

Tony, That sounds like a good plan, but unfortunately the Escrow Agreement was written by PIT & the bank to say “The Escrow Agent shall release the amount specified in the Disbursement Request within ten (10) days of its receipt thereof.” (Section 3.1 of attached agreement). This does not give the County authority to set a specific date – it is the discretion of the Escrow Agent what day out of those 10 they choose to disburse the funds, and they apparently choose to get this done as soon as they receive the request.
Perhaps when the contracts are re-negotiated would be a good time for you to bring up a better method to word all of these portions of the contracts.

The escrow agent will most likely disburse funds on May 7, 2013, so your date to replenish the account by will be 20 days after that (May 27, 2013).
Also attached is the county billing for time worked during March, 2013. We will be forwarding this to Finance for billing on May 6th as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Stephanie

Stephanie,
Thanks. I wasn’t aware of the requirement you noted in section 3.1. Agree with your idea to raise this matter when the contracts are renegotiated.
Thanks again,
Tony

Tony, That sounds like a good plan, but unfortunately the Escrow Agreement was written by PIT & the bank to say “The Escrow Agent shall release the amount specified in the Disbursement Request within ten (10) days of its receipt thereof.” (Section 3.1 of attached agreement). This does not give the County authority to set a specific date – it is the discretion of the Escrow Agent what day out of those 10 they choose to disburse the funds, and they apparently choose to get this done as soon as they receive the request.
Perhaps when the contracts are re-negotiated would be a good time for you to bring up a better method to word all of these portions of the contracts.
Thank you, Stephanie

Stephanie,
It seems the confusion lies with the date you ask the banks to disburse versus when they disburse. If you ask the banks to disburse on a specific date (rather than no later than a specific date) I think it would resolve the problem. Carrix is paying interest in funds disbursed to the escrow account so we would like to minimize, to the extent possible, the time funds sit in the escrow account undisbursed. We appreciate your cooperation to help us achieve this goal. 55 Thanks,
Tony

Good Morning Tony, Please see attached page from the Contract Amendment No. 1.
The way it is worded, the following apply: Section 3.3: County provides a copy of the invoice to PIT 14 days prior to disbursement. Section 3.3: Escrow Agent shall release the amount within 10 days of the receipt. Section 3.2: PIT shall supplement the escrow account within 20 days after each release of funds.
Therefore, The County provides PIT a copy of the invoice (in this case, on 4/17/13) County sends Disbursement Request to Escrow Agent 14 days after that (5/6/13) Escrow Agent has 10 days to release the funds (until 5/16/13). In 8 out of the 8 requests since September 2012, they have released the funds the day after (5/7/13) So, as per Section 3.2, PIT has 20 days after the release of the funds to supplement the escrow account (5/27/13)
It was my understanding from Ari that he felt that this 20 day date we were providing was helpful to him. If you would like, I can leave off the ’20 days after the release’ date from our emails. This would require you and Ari to keep checking the Escrow Account to find the actual release date each month in order to start your 20 day count. Keeping in mind, if you miss this date (which has occurred on three occasions), you will not be following what is legally required per contract.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Stephanie

Stephanie,
I’m confused. In the attached disbursement request you ask the escrow agent to disburse funds on or before May 16th. Below you indicate you are asking the escrow agent to make the disbursement on May 6th and you later indicate the escrow agent will likely disburse funds on May 7th.
Why are you counting 20‐days from when you think the escrow agent will make the disbursement rather than when your written correspondence requests the disbursement? Given the large dollar values involved, SSA does not want to reimburse the escrow account until legally required. 56 Thanks,
Tony

I have just received the wetland delineation report for Parcel 15 of the Gateway pacific terminal site. This is the new(ish) piece added that, to my knowledge, is intended for mitigation area.
I would like to coordinate a site visit to confirm wetland boundaries. Can you give me a sense of when you would be available?
