January 4, 2013, Open Public Comment began today with the Army Corps of Engineers. Click on the attachment below to read the news release.

Unfortunately, Colonel Bruce Estock, Commander and District Engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers in Seattle disregarded our request to send notification of their Open Comment Period to ALL landowners impacted by the I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project. They are only sending notification out to landowners up to 300 feet from BPA's Preferred Alternative.

Again, your land has not been released! It's critical that you submit your comment to the Army Corps of Engineers and to BPA, even if your land is not on the Preferred Alternative.

The Public Notice only discusses BPA's Preferred Alternative, and it does not address any other Options/Alternatives. It's critical that you comment, even if your land is not on BPA's Preferred Alternative.

Instructions on how to comment to the Seattle District of the Army Corps of Engineers: http://www.nws.usace.army.mil/Missions/CivilWorks/Regulatory/PublicNotices.aspx

Steven Manlow is the project manager. He can be reached at:

We won't lie down quietly!
Bonneville Power Administration is attempting a cheap governmental land grab. Help us fight to stop them.

The board of A Better Way for BPA is in the process of raising $10,000 to our LEGAL WAR CHEST by early February 2013, with the ultimate goal of 100,000 by 2014. These donations will be used to fight Bonneville Power Administration's poor choice of their Preferred Alternative.

Help us continue the fight for landowner rights, our environment, our beautiful communities and our health by making a commitment to donate.

We will not be able to continue on without your contribution to this legal battle.

You can choose to donate through our secure PayPal account on the Home page of our website or write your check out to:
Bricklin and Newman LLC

PO Box 704
Amboy, WA 98601

If you're not able to donate much, we encourage you to consider making small monthly payments until we meet our $100,000 goal. Every donation helps us get closer to our goal and is VERY appreciated!

WHICH STANCE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF TAKING?

There are several positions you could take as a landowner who has had this project slammed down your throat for the past 3 years.

• You could be a pacifistic and say you're doomed, BPA is coming through my property and I cannot do a thing about it.
• You could say, I am NOT lying down quietly and letting BPA take my land.
• You could join a group of people who stand behind landowner rights and file a lawsuit against the taking of your land.
• You could go it alone and file a lawsuit against the taking of your land.
• You could say BPA didn't choose my land for their Preferred Alternative so I don't have to be involved anymore.
• You could say even though my property hasn't been chosen, I'm still going to stay involved because it is important to protect everyone's landowner rights.

Even if BPA hasn't chosen your land right now, they could change that decision and move the line to your property.
Your Property has not been released. Your land will be considered for this project until 2014!

We say it's time to let BPA know just what it's up against if it dares to come destroy our land, our neighbors land and our community!
