Of note: the complaints most likely to be followed up on are the ones that are well documented and fact based. Photos are helpful.
The Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) depends on the public to notify them with complaints and issues. They have limited ability to catch issues since the quarry will be on its best behavior when a DPER official or other agents is present.
2. Puget Sound Clean Air Agency - best way to file a complaint is ONLINE. Online complaints go DIRECTLY to an inspector. If they are nearby, they will investigate while the issue is happening.
Please note: Fred White retired as of January 3, 2017 and Joe Barto is no longer managing this project.
5. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) will investigate all complaints when individuals electronically file a Hazardous Condition Complaint. Complaints may also be filed by calling 1-800-746-1553, and they are anonymously reported.
Please provide as much proof as possible with your observations. DPER will listen to our phone calls and read our e-mail and that is sometimes enough for them to go to the quarry to confirm our observations. However for DPER to avoid a lawsuit by the quarry owner, they need proof. Proof can take many forms, but the better the proof, the more likely they will believe us and take action.
