I couldn't get a straight answer from Cantwell's office or from Norm Dicks' office regarding their positions on exempting small pleasure craft from the requirement that each and every sort of discharge would be subject to permit. Comments like, "This is a complex issue with environmental as well as recreational aspects......", seem to indicate a lot of political pre$$ure from the Sierra Club, etc. The last part of that is the critical part. I spoke directly to my Representative's right hand dudette and she basically told me that the shipping companies don't care one way or the other - they will comply with whatever comes up. With respect to recreational boaters, they are not viewed as an election threat "like the Sierra Club". Don't know what that implies, but it don't sound good to me. It means that the recreational boating industry and constituency doesn't have a PAC with enough cash to get the attention of Congresspeople. |
