Citizens' Environmental Impact Statement is available NOW!

To Whom It May Concern:

We are pleased to present a compilation of responses to the Fairhaven Highlands Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the period January 2006 through November 2009.  Find a copy on our RDNow.org website HERE.

The information within this Citizens' Environmental Impact Statement (CEIS) will be instructive to concerned citizens, neighborhood activists, professional planners, and decision makers.

Efforts to preserve the area known as Chuckanut Ridge began over 20 years ago. Those efforts continue today.

It is our hope that the documents and letters herein will serve as useful references while we continue our efforts to preserve Chuckanut Ridge and other significant environmental assets for present and future generations.

Respectfully submitted,
