Don't think the Chehalis system qualifies as a Puget Sound river.

Looking at this from another perspective why is the Department pressing ahead with this before NOAA/NMFS completes its hatchery permitting process during which all of the current scientific data will be available for review and analysis?

After all, pending the granting of permit(s) there will be no EWSH releases in P.S. rivers except within the Snohomish System (as I understand the current status).

Could it be that they want those selected gene bank rivers established before pertinent facts are revealed which might undermine that 2008 gene bank decision?
