Action Alert ~ Coos County BOC Discussing 2nd Amendment Resolution Feb. 3, 2015

1/30/2015

Coos County Board of Commissioners
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015
Doors Open at 9 am, meeting at 9:30 am
The Owen Building
225 N. Adams Street, Coquille, Oregon

My Fellow Citizens of Coos County,

On Tuesday, February 3, a group of concerned citizens will be attending the Board of Commissioners meeting to ask them to pass an ordinance, or at the very least, a Resolution against any attempts by the Oregon legislature to expand background checks for any personal gun transfers. It would include family members to be checked before any gun transfers. A Son could get in trouble if their Father was to give them a gun, because it would be considered a transfer.

We will need everyone to show up, sign in, and speak out. If you do not say anything, you have said nothing. Sign in starts at 9 am and the meeting at 9:30 am. The Resolution is on the agenda right after Public Comment. The commissioners usually allow public comment after each agenda item, so people can speak on this particular issue.

Rep Wayne Krieger & Senator Jeff Kruse both say they support the county resolution, and they oppose background checks for personal transfers, especially between family members.

We need to request an ordinance, as they did in Wallowa County. Yamhill passed a resolution, but it does not come with any enforcement. The outcome will depend on turnout, so the decision is in the hands of the citizens of Coos County.

ODFW ~ Banner Runs of Pacific Salmon Coho & Chinook Enough to Give It Away

1/21/2015

Jan. 12, 2015

CLACKAMAS, Ore. – Banner runs of Pacific salmon helped feed thousands of Oregonians in 2014.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hatcheries donated more than 350,000 pounds of Chinook and coho salmon to food banks in communities across the state.

The huge donation of high quality protein was made possible by one of the largest returns of Pacific salmon in years. A record 1.2 million Chinook and 1 million coho returned to the Columbia River in 2014. Similar returns are expected again in 2015.

“The unprecedented returns salmon to our region the past two years have benefited fishermen, the economy, and helped feed thousands of people who might otherwise have gone hungry,” said Chris Kern, deputy administrator of ODFW’s fish division.

The vast majority of salmon donated to Oregon’s food banks are collected after ODFW hatcheries gather enough eggs to produce the following year’s crop of juvenile salmon. Once the young salmon are reared at the hatcheries and then released, a small percentage of them will return to the hatcheries as adults after spending three or four years maturing in the ocean.

“We’re proud that our hatcheries have such positive impact on the lives of Oregonians,” said Manny Farinas, ODFW West Region hatchery coordinator. “Thanks to all of our great volunteers that helped collect, process, and deliver the fish to the various food banks.”

If forecasts materialize as hoped, 2015 could be another outstanding year for salmon returns. Preliminary data compiled in December by fishery managers from Oregon and Washington suggests Chinook returns will be even larger than 2014 while coho returns could be mixed.

“All the indicators are pointing to another good year of salmon returns,” Kern said.

EPA ~ Another Government Agency Using Children like Guinea Pigs

1/20/2015

Did EPA illegally use
children as guinea pigs?,

Documents obtained through a freedom of information request by our friends at Junk Science indicate that from 2003 to 2010 EPA funded studies at USC and UCLA which used children as subjects in medical experiments to test the effects of diesel exhaust.

EPA previously declared that diesel exhaust can kill and the California Air Resources Board previously declared that there is no safe level of exposure to diesel exhaust.

Can they both make these claims and not see the irony of then exposing children to something they told us was such a severe threat?

The only way EPA, USC and UCLA these experiments would be acceptable, would be if EPA and CARB had wildly exaggerated the dangers of diesel exhaust, but in that case the two regulators have been grossly misleading the public and the Congress in order to issue scientifically unsupported and costly regulations.

You can read the report at CFACT.org.

Subjecting children to harm violates national and international laws designed to protect the subjects of medical experiments, particularly as children lack the legal capacity to voluntarily choose to participate for themselves.

If EPA and CARB truly believed that the diesel fumes could be lethal, the experiments would be illegal to perform on subjects of any age, particularly as they were not designed to lead to any therapeutic benefit.

Government bureaucracies like EPA and CARB have been hijacked by extremists.

What will it take to rein them in?

For nature and people too,

USFWS ~ Email Exposes ODFW Lie About the Winter Lake Restoration Project

1/17/2015

Hey Folks,

Thanks to Tyler at the US Army Corp of Engineers, we know where this permitting process at the federal level is going. Here is the information you will need to make comments on the permitting of the Winter Lake/China Camp Creek Project. I would encourage everyone living in Coos County to send comments to both Tyler Krug at Tyler.J.Krug@usace.army.mil and Madeleine VanderHeyden with the USFWS at madeleine_vanderheyden@fws.gov. The Winter Lake Project was sold as an ODFW project, but it seem that the USFWS is the agency in charge of the project.....Rob Taylor

Hi,

We are currently evaluating the project under several Nationwide Permits. Specifically Nationwide #27 (Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment, and Enhancement Activities), potentially Nationwide Permit #3 (Maintenance) and Nationwide Permit #18 (Minor Discharges). Our current thought is that the project impacts are similar in nature and would not cause more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects, thus allowing the use of general permits. I'm emailing the 2012 Nationwide Permits as well as the Nationwide Permit General and Regional Conditions, DEQ 401 Water Quality Certification Conditions and DLCD CZMA concurrence conditions.

I will discuss internally but we do not currently forecast the need to elevate our review to that of an Individual Permit. If you or other landowners in the BSDD have concerns on the proposed work please provide them in writing to the Corps. We will definitely factor those concerns into our evaluation. Our permit evaluation or any decision would not carry any property rights.

As a side note: Corps understand U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service may provide funding for the project. We're working with them to understand who would/could be responsible for compliance with other applicable laws and regulations.

Thank you for the heads up on concerns and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for this information. I will get it printed and will do some reading. I do have comments and am quite appalled that some of the project is on our property yet I have to request the permit, which is dated Nov. 28, 2014, that should have been sent to me up front. I saw nothing in the document that referenced the geo-tech report that was done some time ago, the hydrology report, or the water management plan. Do you have those documents?

My hope is to get something put together for you by the first of the week but will try to get it out no later than the end of next week. If this is inadequate, please let me know.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Hi there,

USFWS is taking the lead federal agency role on the project moving forward. I suggest you contact Madeleine VanderHeyden with the USFWS at (541)347-1470 or madeleine_vanderheyden@fws.gov. Also, for project materials you can contact Ms. Merri Martz with TetraTech at Merri.Martz@tetratech.com. She is the consultant working on the project.

Corps is involved but we will be stepping back as USFWS will be taking the lead agency role. We do not distribute the applicant's permit application as our standard process. A Corps decision would carry no property rights or access thereof.

Some things are releasable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), some aren't. From what I understand the water management plan is still in the works. The project materials are quite large. I suggest you talk to Merri Martz or Fred Messerle to see if they would mail you a CD of the materials for review. You can also submit a FOIA request and we could a lot time to gathering the project info and sending it your way (w/fee).

USFWS is just getting on board and Madeline was going to try to get in touch with you regarding concerns. Please try reaching out to her or Merri.

Thank you,

ODA seeking Public Comment for Proposed Rules by January 21, 2015

1/10/2015

ODA Seeking Restrictions on Neonicotinoids
The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) has initiated rulemaking to ban the use of four neonicotinoid products on the tilia species of trees (linden and basswood). The four active ingredients are imidacloprid, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam and clothianidin. The ban would apply regardless of application method.

The proposed rule and supporting materials can be found HERE

This action follows a couple of high profile incidents in which misapplications of imidacloprid and dinotefuran resulted in significant bumble bee deaths. Through the investigation ODA found that linden trees can have natural toxicity to bumblebees and that it could have played a role in the bee deaths. Investigations also found that the applications were not done according to the label and the applicators were issued civil penalties.

Following these incidents, ODA issued a label change and temporary rule banning the use of imidacloprid and dinotefuran on linden trees. OFS supported that move, and continues to support a restriction on the use of those two active ingredients on linden trees. The addition of the two additional active ingredients, thiamethoxam and clothianidin, is something that WE OPPOSE.

We have not seen any documented incidents of adverse effects to bees from the responsible use of thiamethoxam and clothianidin, even on linden trees, and the move to ban those products from those uses is not justified at this time.

A ban on those products would result in applicators needing to use older chemistries which are less effective, and come with additional risks to human health and the environment that are not present with neonicotinoids. In some cases this would mean that treatments for pests like aphids on linden trees would be virtually impossible in urban environments. It also takes away key tools from the important Oregon nursery industry.

We will be asking ODA to amend their proposed rule to only apply to imidacloprid and dinotefuran, not the other two active ingredients.

There will be a hearing at ODA on the rule and we encourage you to attend and testify.

Date: January 21, 2015

Time: 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Location: Basement Hearings Room, Oregon Department of Agriculture, 635 Capitol St. NE, Salem, OR 97301

If you cannot attend, please submit written comments to ODA. Written comments need to be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on January 21 and can be sent via email to eedmunds@oda.state.or.us

Points to Remember

Adverse incidents reported to ODA involving bees and neonicotinoids were related to only two active ingredients-dinotefuran and imidacloprid. Without further evidence, those should be the only two active ingredients included in the rule.

Restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids will lead to applicators using alternatives, such as organophosphates, which pose increased risks to humans and the environment.

A ban of these four active ingredients takes away key tools from the important Oregon nursery industry.

Neonicotinoids are among the most thoroughly studied class of insecticides with respect to bee health and provide substantial environmental and user benefits when compared to the older products they replaced.

The incidents involving bumblebees and neonicotinoids were cases of misapplications, and they were dealt with appropriately. We still have yet to see a significant incident where a responsible application occurred.

The scientific database supporting the safe use of neonicotinoids is immense and is growing.

If you have any questions please call Paulette or Scott at (503) 370-8092
