Seattle Port Commission 2711 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121 Dear Department of Ecology, Port of Seattle and Northwest & Canada Cruise Ship Association: I am writing today to urge you to support the amendment to the Cruise Memorandum of Understanding proposed by Friends of the Earth, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and People for Puget Sound. Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors. Sincerely, Jayson Luu 10455 62nd Ave S.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors. Sincerely, David Cosby 321 E.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

But I believe these strong protections are needed not just in Puget Sound but along the entire Coast. I suspect that many individuals like myself were totally surprised and disgusted to find out that cruise ship sewage was discharged into the marine waters.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Sincerely, MARY MCMACKIN 1904 NE 95TH Ave VANCOUVER, WA 98664 Seattle Port Commission 2711 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121 Dear Department of Ecology, Port of Seattle and Northwest & Canada Cruise Ship Association: I am writing today to urge you to support the amendment to the Cruise Memorandum of Understanding proposed by Friends of the Earth, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and People for Puget Sound. Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Sincerely, Alison Quinn 4715 Whitman Ave N Seattle, WA 98103 Seattle Port Commission 2711 Alaskan Way Seattle, WA 98121 Dear Department of Ecology, Port of Seattle and Northwest & Canada Cruise Ship Association: I am a resident of Port Townsend, Washington and am writing today to urge you to support the amendment to the Cruise Memorandum of Understanding proposed by Friends of the Earth, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and People for Puget Sound. Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound.

An article in the Seattle pi cited the following: "In a single day, the federal Environmental Protection Agency estimates passengers aboard a typical cruise ship will generate: 21,000 gallons of sewage 1 ton of garbage 170,000 gallons of wastewater from sinks, showers and laundry More than 25 pounds of batteries, fluorescent lights, medical wastes and expired chemicals (based on average fleet data from 1999 and 2000) Up to 6,400 gallons of oily bilge water from engines Four plastic bottles per passenger -- about 8,500 bottles per day for the Carnival Spirit Cruise ships incinerate 75 to 85 percent of their garbage, the EPA found in a 2008 study. That contributes to smog in coastal communities and on the ocean. Ships also release incinerator ash and sewage sludge -- blobs of concentrated toxins from the bottom of waste-treatment facilities -- into the ocean. They contribute nutrients, metals, ammonia, pharmaceutical waste, chemical cleaners and detergent to deep marine environments from sewage-treatment systems that either don't work as planned or aren't able to remove such substances, according to tests in Washington and Alaska, interviews with state officials, the EPA study and information provided by the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors. Sincerely, Wesley Banks P.O.

I can't believe that wastewater has been allowed to be discharged into a relatively closed system like Puget Sound that so many people, and other animals, depend on for food and survival.

The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound.

Kenneiwck, WA 99338 Department of Ecology, State of Washington 3190 160th Avenue SE Bellevue, WA 98008 Dear Department of Ecology, Port of Seattle and Northwest & Canada Cruise Ship Association: I am writing today to urge you to support the amendment to the Cruise Memorandum of Understanding proposed by Friends of the Earth, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and People for Puget Sound. Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.

Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood. An article in the Seattle pi cited the following: "In a single day, the federal Environmental Protection Agency estimates passengers aboard a typical cruise ship will generate: 21,000 gallons of sewage 1 ton of garbage 170,000 gallons of wastewater from sinks, showers and laundry More than 25 pounds of batteries, fluorescent lights, medical wastes and expired chemicals (based on average fleet data from 1999 and 2000) Up to 6,400 gallons of oily bilge water from engines Four plastic bottles per passenger -- about 8,500 bottles per day for the Carnival Spirit Cruise ships incinerate 75 to 85 percent of their garbage, the EPA found in a 2008 study. That contributes to smog in coastal communities and on the ocean. Ships also release incinerator ash and sewage sludge -- blobs of concentrated toxins from the bottom of waste-treatment facilities -- into the ocean. They contribute nutrients, metals, ammonia, pharmaceutical waste, chemical cleaners and detergent to deep marine environments from sewage-treatment systems that either don't work as planned or aren't able to remove such substances, according to tests in Washington and Alaska, interviews with state officials, the EPA study and information provided by the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound.

Sincerely, Frances daniels , 98597 Department of Ecology, State of Washington 3190 160th Avenue SE Bellevue, WA 98008 Dear Department of Ecology, Port of Seattle and Northwest & Canada Cruise Ship Association: I am writing today to urge you to support the amendment to the Cruise Memorandum of Understanding proposed by Friends of the Earth, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and People for Puget Sound. Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume.

I can't believe that wastewater has been allowed to be discharged into a relatively closed system like Puget Sound that so many people, and other animals, depend on for food and survival.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors. Sincerely, Laura Ackerman 3118 S.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges. Please adopt the proposed amendment to provide the strongest protection possible for the waters of Puget Sound and for the health of residents and visitors.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.

Cruise ship wastewater dumping should be banned in all of Puget Sound and waters covered by the MOU. The U.S. EPA has found that even with treatment systems, cruise ships can discharge wastewater in excess of federal water quality standards. Harmful pollutants, including fecal matter, bacteria and other hazardous wastes, are contained in sewage and gray water dumped from the increasing numbers of cruise ships. This pollution damages the aquatic life of Puget Sound and can also contaminate the shellfish and other seafood I consume. The Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda calls for establishing a No Discharge Zone for all vessels in Puget Sound. If we are going to achieve Puget Sound recovery by 2020, you should act now to halt all cruise ship wastewater discharges.
