NICK LICATA SUPPORTS AN EIS

NESTS met with Councilmember Nick Licata on March 6th to discuss the plans for the North Transfer Station and the need for an Environmental Impact Statement prior to proceeding with the design, demolition, rebuilding and enlargement of the Station.

We expressed our concern about the toxicity on the site, storm water run off, traffic and noise. We also expressed our concern that the size and design of the facility will have a negative impact on the neighborhood. In addition, there appear to be significant zoning issues involved.

We recently received a letter from Mr. Licata that was sent to the Acting Director of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) expressing his support for an Environmental Impact Statement on the North Transfer Station before proceeding.

NESTS thanks Councilmember Licata for his support and commitment to our neighborhood.
