The Draft Shorelines Master Plan is available for Comment
I did a bit of a rant today at the Chelan Real Estate Blog on the new draft of the Shorelines Master Plan update for Chelan county. I’m very disappointed in that the plan doesn’t actually do anything to keep our waterways clean and healthy but does burden property owners a great deal who want to maintain or build any shoreline improvements. While I wrote about Lake Chelan, this plan will apply to all waterways and shorelines in the county. If you have chelan county real estate, have a look!
The really disappointing part of this plan is, in spite of being horribly intrusive, it really does nothing to maintain or enhance the quality of the water in Lake Chelan! It does not do any sort of comprehensive look at points of contamination, types of contamination and the capacity of the system or setting appropriate limits on sources of pollution. It does not look at or encourage innovative practices to reduce contamination to the system regarding marine practices. It does not define the limits of development or types of contamination that Lake Chelan can take and maintain its quality. It does not use science to solve problems, just to control the public. It just takes a huge hammer and smashes your rights without scientific basis or justification. – Chelan Real Estate Blog
