Here are the public meeting dates for the Clark County zoning variance required for Storedahl/Daybreak Mine to take millions of cubic feet of gravel from the channel migration zone of the E.Fk. Lewis River.

It would be really good to have as many fishermen and fishing groups in attendance as possible...Fish First and Friends of the East Fork have been shouldering the load on this...let's all help them out.

Josh Warner is the guy to contact with your requests that this variance NOT be given to the mining company. It looks like NOAA Fisheries and the USFWS may sign off on their HCP, against the recommendations of their own biologists, so this variance may be the last chance to stop the wide scale mine expansion.

Get on it!

Fish on...
