Permit Application
FHM submitted permit applications to Jefferson County in 2003 for zoning conditional use approval and shoreline conditional use and substantial development for a conveyor from the Shine Pit hub to the marine shoreline of Hood Canal and a connected pier facility intended for barge loading. The review of these applications will be combined under a Type III permit process. The zoning case (ZON03-00017) and the shoreline case (SDP03-00007) have been combined under one Master Land Use Application: MLA03-00155.
