Public can comment on Point Julia cleanup application LITTLE BOSTON — Public comment is sought on a federal grant application to pay for cleanup of the Point Julia site on the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe reservation. Port Gamble S’Klallam will apply for a total of $200,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program. The EPA Brownfields Grant Program was cre-
ated to help communities redevelop, reuse or expand land that — because of contamination, pollutants, or hazardous substances — might otherwise be unusable. As part of the application process, the grant application is available for public review and comment through Jan. 17. The site is located on Port Gamble Bay and is contaminated with a variety

of hazardous substances resulting from the historic Pope & Talbot mill operations in Port Gamble across the bay. The mill operated for approximately 150 years. Contamination is primarily related to associated sawmill operations, wood products manufacturing, rafting, and storage. If the application is successful, grant funds will be used to remove sources of surface
and subsurface contamination and sediments at the Port Gamble Bay shoreline and wetland or upland areas within the 12-acre property. The Tribe received $400,000 — in two separate $200,000 grants — from the EPA Brownfields Program in 2009 to perform community-wide environmental assessments for hazardous substances and petroleum. Site assessment activities were completed in 2012
and a chosen alternative was selected after public comment and affirmed by the Tribal Council. The environmental assessments were the first step in addressing potential hazardous substances and petroleum contaminated areas. In addition, the Tribe received a $217,000 Tribal Response Program Grant in 2009, with four subsequent annual awards in
years 2010-13 to provide opportunities for public participation. Grant application materials are available for review at the Tribe’s Natural Resources office, 31912 Little Boston Road NE, during regular business hours.

Licenses
the city’s planning department said that both retailers applied for Poulsbo business licenses, but were denied. Poulsbo zoning codes only allow for marijuana operations in a small triangular area at the north end of the city, between Viking Way and Vetter Road. The area is zoned for industrial uses and is largely undeveloped. The state’s most recent list of applicants shows that NW Highlands is also among the five that applied to operate in Kingston. It also shows three other businesses that have applied for retail licenses within Poulsbo’s city limits: Mary Jane’s Place, Poulsbo Imperial, and Poulsbo Grown. They will likely encounter the same zoning problems as those that were denied. Retailers are only one side of the new marijuana industry, however. There are also producers and processors. Four producers or processors have applied for licenses to operate in the Kingston area. One business, Cactus Blossom, applied to be a producer in Hansville. Twelve businesses have also applied for producer or processor licenses in the Poulsbo area. Eleven of these operations list their addresses outside the city

given area for marijuana operations. As a producer/ processor, Cannaglow Corporation can grow marijuana and package the product for sale to retailers. If approved, the company is slated for an operation between 2,000 and 10,000 square feet. Washington’s marijuana regulations state that the recreational businesses must fall within three categories: producers, processors and retailers. Producers grow marijuana. Processors package and label marijuana products. Retailers sell products and paraphernalia to the buying public. A business may act as a producer and processor; however, a retail shop must operate separately.
Continued from page A1 Nine businesses have applied with the state to set up retail shops in North Kitsap. Kitsap County as a whole, however, is allocated 10 retail stores by the state: two in Bremerton, one in Bainbridge Island, and seven in the remaining county. Currently, 92 businesses have applied for retail licenses in Kitsap County. The Liquor Control Board will determine by lottery which retailers will obtain one of the coveted 10 licenses. All applicants will be prescreened before the lottery to ensure they meet state guidelines for retail operations. Five retail marijuana shops have set their sights on Kingston. And five applications have been filed for shops within the Poulsbo city limits; however, local zoning codes may prove difficult for the start ups. Two early applicants have already been denied Poulsbo business licenses because their shops are not within the one area that is zoned for marijuana. Poulsbo Haze has listed its address as 19568 Viking Ave., not far from another Poulsbo business, NW Highlands at 650 NE Bovela Lane. Officials with
