Hi Mindy, Sorry for the slow reply, I just returned from a fabulous trip in the wilds of Alaska.
As I have stated, we would love to support the NDZ, but cannot do to the lack of pump outs provided by the state. Unless things have changed dramatically, there is not even an approved plan to add commercial pump outs no less the funding to build them. There is only one pump out that will fit a couple of our boats and that is in Bellingham, all the other commercial pump outs are either committed to the agency that operates them or lack dock length or draft for our vessels. Of course, while at Fishermen's Terminal in the winter we provide our own holding tanks and appropriate disposal of waste. We both know that pump outs are a requirement to successfully achieving NDZ status and the state says that all is good and fine with commercial pump outs. Of course, we all know this is an outright misrepresentation of the truth and facts show this.
I sincerely wish those who were charged with NDZ outreach would have been listening and worked this out years ago. We would not be in this situation if this had happened.
I will be in Seattle this week and look forward to any further input you may have.
Kind regards, Dan

Hi Dan - I wanted to make sure you saw this letter we sent to Administrator Pruitt on Friday. I would love to chat with you about why UnCruise signed on, the state process to date, what Charlie is currently trying to do, and what's up next from the state's perspective. I'm also interested in finding mobile pumpout companies to serve UnCruise's needs in Puget Sound.
Also wanted to flag for you that I just spoke with a reporter at King 5 news on the No Discharge Zone letters, so there could be some press as I gave her a copy of Charlie's March 1 letter.
Mindy
