From Donna Riordan, OrcasNOCOALition.com co-founder

Due to the Martin Luther King Holiday on Monday, January 21, the new deadline for scoping comments for the GPT EIS has been extended to January 22, 2013.

Comments need only be a few sentences and can be submitted online at: https://www.eisgatewaypacificwa.gov/get-involved/comment.
* Introduce yourself. Be personal.

* Next write something that says, “I agree with XYZ in her/his comment on this subject.” Quote or reference the comment using the person’s name, title (if it is pertinent). Or paraphrase.

* Discuss why this impact is significant to you, others, ecosystems, etc.

* Conclude by saying you too want this impact thoroughly studied.
