A natural gas leak led
to the evacuation of some
downtown Shelton homes
and businesses near Mill
Street for about an hour
early this week.
Strong natural gas odors
were first reported in the
300 block of Mill St. at
about 8 a.m. on Monday,
Jan. 3.
Emergency crews
evacuated the immediate
area'and were able to trace
the source of the smell to
a Cascade Natural Gas
building at the intersection
of Harvard Avenue and
Alleghany Street.
Less than an hour later,
the leak was contained
and evacuees were allowed
to return to homes and
businesses by 9 a.m.

What will the coming year bring
for the residents of Mason County?
Every New Year brings hope for better health and brighter
opportunities for ourselves, our families and our community.
But what will 2011 have in store for the people of Mason County?
Our Elected Officials are on the fast track to allow construction of a
Biomass Incineration Facifity that will change Mason County forever.
Did you know?
According to their SEPA application, the proposed ADAGE Mason LLC plant will
be 150 feet tall with a smokestack 170 feet tall. The current height restriction for
Mason County is 45 feet. Should we allow our County Commissioners to pass a
variance to allow such a tall structure?
The SEPA application submitted by ADAGE Mason LLC does not adequately
address the risks of Fire, Explosion or Disaster Preparedness in the event of an
emergency. Will Mason County's First Responders be able to protect the residents in
harm's way if the unthinkable should occur? Accidents are not unprecedented in
facilities of this type.
The application states that the Plant Roof alone will cover 2 acres and the fuel
storage and handling another 3 acres. The plant will burn of 600,000 tons of
wood per year or 68.5 tons per hour, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day,
producing 18,200 TONS of ash, 441 TONS of a air pollutants and 600,000 TONS of
C02. HOW can we accept this Incineration Plant as a "Green" neighbor to homes,
schools, our hospital and Playfields?
