Record Demand:
The PCHB stated that studies predicting the impact on quantity and quality do not provide sufficient certainty to support joint ventures proposed plans. The PCHB also held that the mitigation plan, which was approved by the Department of Ecology, was not adequate. A hearing date has been set for March 2002. However, pending the time availability of the court, a hearing date has been conditionally set for October 2001.
