Your article “Some hope to save historic kitchen at former Elwha Campground” (PDN, Sept. 28) points out this damaged building is just one of the issues facing the Elwha Valley.
The article further states the park has been fighting to maintain visitor access and that the freed river has washed out the road through the Elwha Valley “repeatedly.”
Unelected EPA bureaucrats and climate change crazies squandered $325 million taxpayer dollars to remove those two dams.
But that’s not all.
In a costly and doomed effort to now try to save wildlife and habitat, that had adapted to those dams decades ago, the zealotry of EPA bureaucrats will now cost tens of millions more taxpayer dollars to deal with what one could reasonably deduce was not wholly unexpected collateral damage.
EPA zealots destroyed cheap electricity for tens of thousands of taxpayers.
In addition, the actions of those EPA zealots have threatened the U.S. Highway 101 bridge, a Port Angeles water plant, three campgrounds, the Elwha Resort and two boat launches that once served a river, rendering the area no longer able to float due to lack of access.
It’s too late for our wildlife and habitat, but President Donald Trump and his administration is rightfully pulling in the reins on poorly thought out destruction like this for the future and other habitats.
