this board has previously found
necessary to protect the Frequently

ter written to the county commis-
sion by Denese LaClair, chair of the
Skokomish Tribal Council, saying
that the new ordinance is a threat
to tribal sovereignty that "will only
exacerbate those conditions" which
have caused the river to flood the
reservation "with increasingly
greater frequency and intensity."
Nies informed the board that
the tribe wants to "challenge the
action" of the commission and has
the right to do so under state law.
She writes that the tribe has been
a strong advocate of the dike moni-
toring program and "has suffered,
and continues to suffer, from the
effects of the Skokomish River's
flooding of the reservation, which
has been caused by various man-
made changes in the Skokomish

City seeks change
in its water rights
The City of Shelton will ask a
state agency to transfer its water
right from Shelton Springs.
Shelton city commissioners
Tuesday night •voted 3-0 to au-
thorize city staff to apply to the
Washington State Department of
Ecology to transfer the water right
from the springs to two deep wells
at locations yet to be determined.
The water right was granted
to the city in 1927. Historically,
Shelton Springs provided drinking
water to settlers in the late 1800s,
according to city stall'.
But the springs were deactivat-
ed in April 2000 because of a di-
rective from the Washington State
Department of Health to provide
disintction. At that time, the city
was not disinfecting its drinking
water. Chlorination of the city's
water supply, drawn from deep
wells, began in late 2003.
