Alert: Navy Growler EIS
Mar 18, 2025
By Sound Defense Alliance
The Navy has released its Draft Amended Analysis to the Growler Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
However, in an unusual move, the Navy sent the Draft Amended Analysis to a list that excluded Citizens of Ebey's Reserve’s (COER) attorneys. We want to thank Mayor Hughes for sharing this information with us. The Navy has only scheduled two in-person public meetings in Oak Harbor and Coupeville. They have allotted an extremely short period of only 18 days to review the document before the first public meeting - and the deadline to submit advance questions for the one virtual meeting they have scheduled is THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 21ST.

WE NEED YOUR HELP ASAP.

Please make CALLS TO:

1. Ask for a 1-month extension of comment period (to May 28)

2. Add Navy public meetings in Port Townsend & Lopez Island
