Description:The Thorndyke Conveyor Project provides a system to transport aggregate materials from an existing gravel pit located in Jefferson County on land owned by Pope Resources and leased by Fred Hill Materials (FHM) to a marine loadout facility on the northwest shore of Hood Canal, approximately 3 miles south of the Hood Canal Bridge. The conveyor system is approximately 3.9 miles in length, beginning at the existing sand and gravel site, the Shine Pit, and extending to the west shore of Hood Canal at the "Thorndyke" Property located in Section 19, Township 28N, Range 1E, WM. The proposed Project consists of two elements, the North Conveyor and the South Conveyor. Environmental conditions reports have been prepared for the proposed project. These reports include a Marine Resources Report, a Preliminary Geotechnical Report, a Wetlands Report, and a Habitat Management Plan. A Biological Assessment Plan will be prepared in the near future. |
