Tacoma's Center for Urban Waters is hosting a four-part series on the methanol plant and export facility proposalhttp://www.tacoma.uw.edu/methanol. Invited speakers will lead a series of informed conversations that are intended to provide a common understanding of the technical and scientific aspects of this complex project.
Science Director and UW Tacoma Professor Joel Baker hopes that concerned citizens attending these events or viewing the videos "will walk away with contextual information needed to think critically about the varied environmental, natural resource, economic, and political impacts of this proposed project. There are nuanced local, regional, and global issues at play."
These presentations will focus on providing scientific answers to issues already raised by the local community. Citizens for a Healthy Bay will be soliciting questions and topics in advance of the event. Please note that these discussions are not public hearings and are not part of the SEPA review process.
