90. October hearings on oil trains in Skagit

Last week the first stage in that review began: the scoping comment period. We have fought hard to get this chance, now we have to make the most of it. Between now and November 5th we need to do everything we can to show that the public insists on the most thorough possible review of this reckless plan. Shell’s recent decision to pull out of the Arctic will only increase their desire to rush this oil train project though, so your help is even more important now.

In the next month, we need help with these three things:

1. Submit a detailed scoping comment. You’ve already written about this project. And a copy of your earlier comment is attached for reference. If you would like advice on adapting what you have already said as a scoping comment, and for more information on how to send it in, take a look at this short article on how to write a detailed comment http://www.standuptooil.org/shell-anacortes/

Attend a hearing (or two!) in person. We would love if you speak, but you don’t have to. We want to pack these rooms! RSVP HERE and we will send you everything you need to know. http://www.standuptooil.org/shell-anacortes/

- Mount Vernon: Tue., Oct. 13, Best Western Plus, 2300 Market St., 4-8 p.m.

- Anacortes: Wed., Oct. 14, Anacortes Middle School, 2202 M Ave, 4-8 p.m.

- Lynnwood: Mon., Oct. 19, Lynnwood Convention Center, 3711 196th St. SW, 4-8 p.m.

3. Help us reach out to more people. We could use volunteer help over the next few weeks. Attend an informational gathering this Sunday (October 4) from 4-6 at the North Sound Brewery (map) to get the details. Or contact Anna at [e-mail] for more information.Together we can make sure that Shell’s dangerous project gets the full scrutiny that it deserves.

Thank you for your help!
