STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES - EXHIBIT C 

 STATE POLLUTION CONTROL COMMISSION HEARING ON WATER QUALITY 

 STANDARDS SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - FEBRUARY 28, 196? . 



Mr. Chairman J ladies and gentlemen; my name 

 is Charles Woelke, I am a graduate student at the University 

 of Washington, on educational leave from the State of Wash- 

 ington Department of Fisheries. 



May I express my appreciation for the oppor- 

 tunity to present my views on the topic under consideration 

 today. Many of my remarks will embrace marine water areas 

 other than the one under consideration therefore I request 

 that this statement be made a part of the record of all 

 previous hearings dealing with marine waters. I have 

 appended to this statement a list of reports which I feel 

 support the stand I am taking. 



I am speaking as a taxpayer and waterfront 

 property owner. I enjoy fishing, clam digging, swimming, 

 boating, sunbathing or even just staring at or listening 

 to the sounds of the water while relaxing. In purchasing 

 waterfront property I paid a premium price to assure myself 

 and my family of these pleasures of life. My views on the 

 subject of water quality are those, or at least I believe 

 should be those, of all owners of the approximately 265O 

 miles of marine waterfront in Washington State - about 80O 

 miles of which are Included in the area being considered
