Coal Port “Scoping Hearing” in Spokane

Additional speakers may begin earlier. This is a unique opportunity to provide your input to the Army Corps of Engineers on what topics should be evaluated in an environmental impact statement. If you are able to go and need a ride, let Helen Yost know by tomorrow (Monday) evening: wild.idaho.rising.tide@gmail.com. Rides will be leaving approximately at 1 and 4 pm. Sites for good information about the coal train/port situation: Powerpastcoal.org; Coalfreespokane.org; Coalfreebellingham.org; Coaltrainfacts.org (the latter is the site with the most facts.)
And from Helen Yost: “Most of the information and links about both the proposed Boardman and Bellingham coal ports and their public processes is included in this previous WIRT email message, now posted on the front of the WIRT website: http://wildidahorisingtide.org/2012/11/08/four-state-coal-export-protests-hearings/#more-3306.”
