Jack Havens is spot on!

Capitol lake was designed to solve a problem, the sedimentation of lower Budd inlet from the Deschutes river. When planned they also took into account the opportunity to create a reflecting pool for the Capitol which is considered one of the most beautiful in the nation. Overall, this design was perfection.

Capitol lake is a sediment trap for the Deschutes river and periodic dredging is part of the intended plan. Dredging was prevented and now the lake is full of sediment. This is manufactured fuel for the sick lake strategy.

Removing the dam will allow huge amounts of sediment to flow and settle in lower Budd inlet. There is no plan to abate this. The marinas will be clogged and will suffer loss of business. Shipping at the port of Olympia will be restricted or prevented costing jobs and revenue. Local business will be harshly impacted because of shipping problems. The proponents of this scheme and maneuvered so they cannot be legally or fanatically responsible for what is already known to come.

The Estuary is a horrible idea, hatched by progressive utopians who have little concern for commerce and prosperity in Olympia so long as they can have their artificial, self imagined form of utopia.
