AnacortesOnline has asked the candidates for Port Commissioner to write a brief statement out lining their position. Last week we put up the statements of cadidates Ray Niver, Al Anderson, Anni Brogan, Randy Barrett and Bill Short. These are the statements from Incumbent Chuck Mallary and candidates Tasker Robinette and T-bone Nelson. You, the public have the opportunity to ask these candidates to elaborate on their statements. A guard watches the site 24 hours a day and no one is allowed inside without proper training and clearance.
Trucks go into the site hauling containers that are carefully filled with contaminated soil.
Before a truck leaves, its wheels are inspected to see that they are not carrying contaminated waste. The contaminated soil is be taken by train and disposed of at a site in Roosevelt, Eastern Washington, the same site that takes Skagit County household waste. The candidates have been invited to speak and answer questions from the public. The forum will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Anacortes City Council Chambers.
