Arkleys backdoor meetings with the Eureka City Council & Piersons “lunch dates” seem like the way to get it done.

Different agencies use different scoping, and no surprise: the most advantageous method to meet the agencies agenda is the best method. (i.e. dont even try to apply for a permit with the coastal commission or army corp.) No one can agree on the methodology of identifying wetlands either.

Long as he gets paid he allows capping of dioxin contamination just like he allowed on Indian Island (the Wyiots didn't have money to pay him so they get a pass) and Simpson Mill site. The only conflict here is Bonnie and Larry supporting her largest campaign contributor Bill Pierson. Thats it, come on go on the balloon track and take a look at the wetlands. Take a look and be honest with yourself for once, they are mud puddles. If this clean up fails Bonnie will be laughed out of office this June, people. Her election campaign will be a shooting gallery for her many, many, many critics. Curious,

Thank god we have the CCC and Pete to sort this all out for us. Who could have known the City Council was approving conflicting plans? Thank god we have the CCC and Pete to sort this all out for us.

That should include the jail and the courthouse. Most of the Eureka waterfront is “emergent” wetlands then by definition. That should include the jail and the courthouse.

Again arbitrary God like appeals as if their "Coastal Analyst "expereience trumps post graduate biological "scientific" degrees. Do us a favor stop your unethical behavior. The tribal example on Indian Island is proof that you guys are arbitrary.

Palco fought Gallegos'/Ken Miller's suit - and it was revealed to be worthless. They could have caved and paid the go-away money. Debi August fought back, and won. There are cases all over the place where people who stand up and fight back on principle have been winning. EPIC, et al are not pure, and it is shown when people fight back. It costs alot. Enough to bankrupt most people, which is why the activist orgs have had a free ride for too long. This one looks to be another case in point. I'm betting the "Baykeeper/ERF/activist con men are about to be fully exposed. I am guessing that even if Faust withdraws his action, it's too late for him, and his buddies.

The commission is the personal bully pulpit of Peter Douglas and whatever dumbnut yes-men he can find to go along with him. Douglas actually revels in the power trip, and frequently tells applicants for various things that if they get approved by local government he will personally appeal it. To himself. That's how this works and how it will continue to work unless the state decides enough is enough. Stories like this about the Coastal Commission are too numerous to count.

Probably referring to areas outside of ditch re contouring and likely flat graded areas with obligate species growing on engineered surface.
