Public Comment
Bob Guenther, Chehalis, stated he lives across the road from the Fire Mountain Farms.
Recently the BOCC received pictures from Bill Teitzel of a bio solids inundation of State
Route 508. They put an application on top of the ground and Department of Ecology came down and looked at the application and said it was a good application but right after that there was an inundation of more material estimated 3 to 4 inches deep lying on top to the ground. He suggests testing the wells downstream and would ask the
BOCC to warn the people on the Forest Napavine Road. This is a bio solids dump; it is
not a farming operation for the beneficial use of bio solids.
