Comments needed on Brinnon Black Point development EIS

So you now have a chance to comment on the proposed EIS for the Brinnon Black Point EIS. Having visited the site, I can tell you from first hand knowledge that the beautiful and somewhat wild site would be lost forever under the development plans to turn this into Ludlow South. Given the nature of salmon recovery along this wild shore, (the south side of the peninsula in particular is covered with huge beautiful second growth trees), it seems insane to allow it to be clearcut and developed. Also given the economy, and the failing of development efforts like this world wide right now, that the worse case would be to see the development start and clear the peninsula, only to run out of money to actually complete anything. That, my friends, is a very likely scenario. They already have made it public that they need additional funding to get this done. Their original glowing optimistic forecast has not panned out.
