Hello, I recently heard on NPR about the proposal to make Puget Sound a no discharge zone. I recently moved to Olympia, and our home is within a few miles of several shellfish beds. I have taken a bit of an interest in the industry since moving her...↓

Dear Amy,, No brainer. Of course, no body should be dumping treated or untreated sewage into Puget Sound. We have a lot of boats in Puget Sound, and waste adds up, and effects the water quality for all kinds of users. As it is everything run...↓

I strongly support the proposal to prohibit discharge of treated and untreated sewage from boats into Puget Sound. Orcas and other sea life need clean water. Thank you for taking the time and effort to protect Puget Sound.

I would prefer a public education outreach for regular folks. I didn't see this at Mason County's "Oysterfest" this past weekend. Also, there are trucks from the metro area bringing sewage sludge to be dumped on the tree "farms" along the MA 12...↓

I am very much in favor of a no-discharge zone as shown on your map. I live overlooking Fairhaven Harbor in South Bellingham, Whatcom County. As well as serving Alaska ferries, the Coast Guard and several local marine businesses, this harbor is a...↓

This is one of those brilliant ideas that looks great on paper and plays well to the non-boating public. To the state's recreational boaters, however, it is a nightmare. My wife and I are not "wealthy fat cats" who are running around in our mega-...↓

No on new laws. Existing laws are adequate.This would be cost prohibitive and current laws of 1 mile to shore no pump zones suffice.

Hello: I am reaching out to you in opposition to the proposed rule of a No Discharge Zone for all of Puget Sound. The implementation of this rule will be costly with nebulous benefits. The contribution of recreational boaters sewage to our ...↓

Gosh, what about the marine life discharging their waste into our beautiful Puget Sound. The boaters are a drop in the bucket compared to all the seals fish birds etc. You people should find real productive work that actually produces something for s...↓

Dear Dept. of Ecology, on the surface this might seem like the route to go, but just last year there were millions of gallons of raw untreated sewer dumped directly into our Puget Sound. This seems like an annual occurrence if you check your history....↓

Please pass this and include the straight of Juan de fuca as well. This should have been done long ago. Protect the puget sound ecosystem and prevent more human shit from being dumped in our waters. People eat from that water, sea animals have to liv...↓
