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.

Fire marshal says
sparks caused fire
The fire on January 9 that
caused upwards of $125,000 dam-
age to Simpson Timber Compa-
ny's Olympic Plywood Plant was
caused by sparks from a welding
and cutting operation that was
going on that day inside the
plant, Shelton Fire Marshal Jim
Ghiglione said.
"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."
