Press release from the Environmental Protection Information Center:
In response to news from Nordic Aquafarms and Humboldt County that the
county will pursue a full environmental impact report for the proposed fish farm, a coalition of
North Coast environmental organizations thank the company and county for listening to
community concern and their commitment to rigorous environmental review.
“Our organizations called for the preparation of an environmental impact report because we
believed that this project which is unlike anything seen before in Humboldt County or even the
state of California could benefit from more thorough environmental impact review and public
participation,” said Jennifer Kalt, director of Humboldt Baykeeper.

As a road that serves both as a state highway and as a city “Main Street,” it fills neither role satisfactorily. Half of all automobile accidents in Eureka happen on Broadway. This 3-mile stretch of road, which serves 35,000 vehicles daily, has been the site of regular fatal collisions, including three this year. Local residents complain the road is ugly, difficult and dangerous to cross, and gives an unpleasant first impression to visitors coming into Eureka from the south. Motorists complain of long delays at traffic lights, left turns that are difficult and dangerous, and pedestrians dodging traffic as they jaywalk in the long lon
The only real difference will be HOW the trucks get here. Currently they deliver to everything south of Richarson Grove from the south. They deliver everything north of the Grove from the north. This means there are more trucks traveling through Eureka going to Garberville, etc. because they can’t get there from the south. These trucks are everywhere and that won’t change. The only change will be a savings in fuel and therefore shipping costs would be lower with the improvement project. Less miles equals less emissions. That should actually make the environmentalists happy. Environmentalists are the problem, not the solution here. They lack consistency and reason. But, then, so does the BOS generally speaking.
