which allowed wakes and tides to wash away 2 feet of the bank. They have Teredo
riddled logs which they plan to put along the bank. They waited for the tide to
recede and then worked claiming that they weren't working in the water.

I asked them if they had the permits and they claimed to have them. When I asked
to see them because none were posted at the site, they told me that George
Blomberg wouldn't let them show the permits to me.

I would appreciate it if you would investigate.

I also sent en email to Olivia H. Romano at USAGE, but have not heard back from

Dear Laura:

Since I emailed you, I personally inspected what the Port ofSeattie was doing at 5.
Riverside Dr. between 7th Ave. S. and 8th Ava. 5. They removed all vegetation
which allowed wakes and tides to wash away 2 feet ofthe bank. They have Teredo
riddled logs which they plan to put along the bank. They waited for the tide to
recede and then worked claiming that they weren't working in the water.

i asked them if they had the permits and they claimed to have them. When i asked
to see them because none were posted at the site, they told me that George
Blomberg wouldn't let them show the permits to me.

i would appreciate it if you would investigate.

i also sent an email to Olivia H. Romano at USAGE, but have not heard back from her
yet.

Dear Ms. Arber, Ms Eastberg, Ms Aue and Mr. Blomberg:

I had notified Ms. Arber in June that the Port of Seattle in the representative George Blomberg was working in the Duwamish River
along the bank of the Duwamish Riverjust South of Pacific Pile and Marine Corporation. i had asked to see the Permits as
Washhington State has a law requiring the obtaining of an HPA Permit which is fowarded to the Army Corps of Engineers. The
workman claimed to have Permits but could not let me see them! I emailed Ms. Arber, DFW,
with the information to see if she would look into it and she returned an email, dated June 15, 2015, saying she would look into it. i
have not heard from her since.

The Hydraulic Project Approval Act states:

Since 1943 anyone planning certain construction projects or activities in or near state waters
has been required to obtain;..an Hydraulic Approval Permit (HPA)

Obviously, no one obtained such a permit; therefore, the law was broken and illegal activity occurred at the site i reported to the
Department of Fish & Wildlife to Ms. Arber.

I am notified when any person, business or organization files for a Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers for the Puget Sound
area and i never received any notice that anyone filed for such a Permit at that iocation. I know that Olivania H. Romano is the
ACE officer-in charge of the Duwamish River and wonder if she is aware of the illegal actions taken there.

Today, Sunday, July 19, 2015 I visited that site and to and behold, there has been a lot of work done with a sign showing the Seattle
PaIks & Recreation Department, the Port of Seattle and the Seattle Parks Foundation, a nonprofit private corporation which
should not be down there Were claiming responsibility for an improved streetend ItIs not a Streetenci.
Seattle's Street Use Ordinance, 15.02010 and its Scope of authorization 1502.060 state:
i
B. The issuance of a permit under the Street Use Ordinance does not authorize taking an action
that conflicts with another City ordinance or with other state or federal laws.

There are no Permits; there is no Permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, which is the Agency that has jurisdiction in the
Duwamish River Commercial Industriai Waterway. More law were broken.

Furthermore, this project will interfere with trucks involved with interstate commerce which interference is a federal criminal
offense. See the interstate Commerce Act. Interstate Commerce is a federaljurisdiction.

In addition, 46 USC 701, the National Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 together with its Plan of 2005, bars the general
public from maritime industrial areas because of terrorist fears.  It defines a Maritime Area as follows:


1"""'l'l'11'1f'1f'1'vin "iln'klnl                                                         1'31'7lf'n1 C

into
Right now, the United States is supposed to be on a heightened terrorist alert but Seattle organizations are inviting everyone
these areas. This is illegal. It is also extremely unsafe and violates all state laws with regard to freight mobility.

Furthermore, the whole site is most unattractive. Teredo riddled logs which appear to be unusable for anything else, are
everywhere. New fill is on the riverbank and who knows what is in that. However, with such irresponsible actions by those
federal government and laws of Washington State,
claiming responsibility, such flaunting of the U. S. Constitution, law of the
breaking laws seems to be what they do.

The best solution would be to remove this offensive project. Othenrvise the participants should be prosecuted for flagrantly
disregarding federal, state and local laWs.

i am shocked that the Port of Seattie Commissioners altowed these actions or neglected
for failing to properly supervise Cheryl Eastberg, Seattle Parks
am further shocked at Seattle Parks and Recreation Department
Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization, which by law, is excluded from the area, but it shows such an organization has no
i hope the ACE in the
regard for the iaw. i am appailed at the non"action of DFW in the representatiVe of Laura Arber.
representative of Olivias H. Romano was not involved.
