Skok down; emergency over i ¸ !!:i: (Continued from page 1.) About 5 p.m. January 14 the county and Corps met with the Skokomish tribe. By then the wa- ter had begun to recede. "We were able to get by the flood event without a breach," Geiger added. County Engineer Jerry Hauth told The Journal Tuesday that the river may still spill over the dike and seek an old channel creating a oxbow which could strand several residences. If there is a spillover, county roads would not be threatened. He said the Corps recom- mended placing rock along about 300 to 350 feet of the bank to divert the river, but at last Thursday's meeting the Sko- komish Tribe did not find that plan acceptable. LATE FRIDAY afternoon Hauth received word from the Skokomish Tribe that work could proceed but with the stipu- lation that the rock be removed once the river receded and be re- DEBRIS CLINGING to a Skokomish Valley fence shows how high the water level rose earlier in the year. Fears the river might break a new channel higher in the valley led the county commissioners to declare an emergency situation last week, but the river didn't rise enough to merit Army Corps of Engineers intervention.

"We're certain that it was the welding and cutting operations," he told The Journal. He thinks a spark from those operations ignit- ed some sawdust that had accu- mulated above where men and equipment were working and ig- nited the blaze, he explained. Ghiglione said the fire prob- ably smoldered undetected for a while in an area that was hard to see and located above the plywood dryers in the plant. "Even though Simpson does an excellent job of maintaining and keeping things clean, dust does accumulate," he said. "There really is no way they can - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - keep some dust from accumulat- ing."
