Submitted by Beth Elliott for DuPont City Council Position 3.
Good morning, DuPont! As I was reading our local newspaper, The Tacoma News Tribune, I came across this legal notice about the South Parcel mine expansion Environment Impact Statement (EIS.) This legal notice is the city’s official request for public comments on the Scope of the EIS.

The expansion of the gravel mine in DuPont is a reasonable request that should be granted. Where else in the metropolitan area can we have access to gravel and rock products that can be shipped to Seattle via water. Or trucked to other areas. We all know that we need this product for roads and construction needs.
