Net Pens Information

At our November meeting Dave Parks shared information about a proposed commercial aquaculture, fish farming, project on the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  In order to share information about the proposed project and net pens in general, we have created a Net Pens Information Page.  As we continue to find information and more becomes available, we will share via the page.  Currently, you can read through the project proposal, aquaculture standards and best practices and come up to speed on raising commercial seafood, specifically salmon, in net pens.

Thanks and stay tuned for more,
OPC

CSO action you can take tomorrow night!

CITY ENGINEER TO CONDUCT CITY’S CSO SOLUTION PRESENTATION

City of Port Angeles City Engineer Mike Puntenney will be conducting a presentation on the City’s solution for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO), on Tuesday, October 11, 2011, at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 321 E. 5th Street.

The focus of Puntenney’s presentation will be wastewater and stormwater in the Port Angeles community, highlighting historically how we evolved into the CSO problem we have today and the City’s solution, as required by the Washington State Department of Ecology. CSOs are discharges of untreated combined wastewater and stormwater released into creeks, streams and the harbor, typically occurring during periods of heavy rainfall.

Representatives from the consultant firm Brown and Caldwell, and the Washington State Department of Ecology will also be in attendance. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.

Mike Puntenney is a Professional Industrial Engineer and has been with the City of Port Angeles for 7 years. He was appointed City Engineer in October of 2010.
