Posted Under: Thuston County, Yelm Government, Yelm Growth, Yelm Issues
JZ Knight, owning property just over a mile from the location of the new wells outlined in the City of Yelm’s Water Plan, launched an aggressive media campaign to get information out to the residents of Yelm and the surrounding areas concerning the City’s practices regarding the Water Plan.
The post on her website states:
The City of Yelm is trying to substitute a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) for an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) regarding their proposed five-fold increase in water withdrawal quantities. By doing this, City officials are sidestepping their obligation to get the opinions of the public and independent professionals about the environmental impacts of such an action.
Your well water level could drop 23 feet and leave you dry
When this happens, when you least expect it, who’s going to pay you the $15,000 it takes to drill you a new well and replace your pumping equipment? Are you going to enjoy the surprise of having no water?
You have until this Friday, May 22nd to send your comments into officials for an appeal.
It also includes a downloadable PDF and contact info for sending in comments.
The PDF is much like the full color print ad in the Olympian today (in the A section).
The deadline for public appeal is Friday May 22nd.
Below is the map from www.jzknight.com, showing the area affected by the proposed drawdown.
