milt, Thanks for chiming in to this discusion.

I contend the Tacoma sludge used by timber "farms" to produce fiber in Mason and Jefferson Counties is behind the reduced carrying capacity. Sure, the Bremerton waste is a contributing factor. Most of the watershed drainage is undeveloped.

The image projected by Staff only favors the Status Quo; no recovery given the competition for food, no goals, no exit stratagy?
