JAMES C. PLUNTER 



Therefore, we support the investigation 

 described this morning and the recommendations made. 



With regard to the recommendations for 

 improvements to treatment of municipal waste in the study 

 areas, we agree that improvements are needed here, as in 

 other communities in Puget Sound and throughout the State. 

 The Department has so stated at water quality hearings 

 conducted over the past year by the Washington Water 

 Pollution Control Commission. We hope that the problems 

 described here today can be similarly resolved in a 

 spirit of rational discussion and cooperation. 



Thank you. 



CHAIRMAN STEIN: Thank you. Are there any 

 comments or questions? 



MR. HARRIS: Thank you, Jim. 



Is there a representative present for the 

 State Department of Game? I believe that John Douglas 

 was to present a statement on behalf of the Game Department, 



Mr. Douglas.
