Iqela lokusingqongileyo laseMzantsi Whidbey licela umngeni kwisigqibo sekhomishini karhulumente ukuvumela imikhosi ekhethekileyo ye-Navy ukuba iqhube imisebenzi yokuqeqesha ngokufihlakeleyo kwiipaki zombuso, mhlawumbi kuquka ezintlanu kwi-Whidbey Island.

Ukongeza, amaqela amabini e-Whidbey aphakathi kwabo bajoyine umfelandawonye ochasene nolu “qeqesho lwemfazwe” kwiipaki zikarhulumente kwaye bacela uSuku lokuSebenza kwilizwe lonke nge-13 kaMatshi.

I-Whidbey Environmental Action Network, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-WEAN, yafaka isikhalazo sokuphononongwa kwenkundla ngokuchasene neWashington State Parks kunye neKomishoni yoLonwabo kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseThurston County ngoMatshi 8. Uxwebhu lwezikhalazo lukhankanya izizathu ezininzi zokuphononongwa, kubandakanywa ukuba uqeqesho lwasemkhosini aluyiyo enye yezinto ezisetyenziswayo. kuvumelekile kwiipaki phantsi komthetho karhulumente.

"Ngaphandle kwenkcaso eluntwini, ikhomishini ivume olu setyenziso lungahambelaniyo," utshilo uSteve Erickson, umnxibelelanisi wamatyala we-WEAN. “Ukuvumela uqeqesho lwasemkhosini kwiipaki zikarhulumente ngumgaqo-nkqubo ombi. Kwakhona akukho mthethweni.”

NgoJanuwari 28, iKomishoni yePaki kunye noLonwabo yaseburhulumenteni ivotele i-4-3 ukuvumela ukukhutshwa kweemvume kwi-Navy ngenjongo yokuqhuba uqeqesho lwemisebenzi ekhethekileyo kwiipaki zonxweme.

Isithethi seePaki zoMbuso sithe ngoMvulo akukho zimvume zikhutshiweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

UJoe Overton, isekela legosa lemicimbi yoluntu kuMmandla weNavy kuMntla-ntshona, uthe uMkhosi waManzi awuxoxi ngetyala elilindelekileyo, kodwa uye waphawula ngexabiso loqeqesho.

"I-Puget Sound, i-Hood Canal kunye nonxweme olusezantsi-ntshona lwaseWashington lunikezela ngeemeko ezikhethekileyo kunye nezahlukeneyo zonxweme ezidala amathuba oqeqesho oluyinyani kunye nomngeni kwimisebenzi ekhethekileyo kwindawo ekhuselekileyo, ekhuselekileyo, yamanzi abandayo," wabhala nge-imeyile.

"Lo mmandla ubonelela ngotshintsho olugqithisileyo, imisinga eyahlukeneyo, ukubonakala okuphantsi, umhlaba onzima ophantsi kwamanzi kunye nomhlaba onzima wabafundi be-Naval Special Operations (NSO), indawo yoqeqesho oluphezulu olubenza balungele ukwenza umsebenzi wehlabathi."

Isindululo seminyaka emihlanu somkhosi wamanzi kukuqhuba uqeqesho kwiipaki zikarhulumente ezingama-28, nangona izithintelo kwisindululo zinokunciphisa inani leepaki zikarhulumente ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe ukuya kwi-16 okanye i-17 kuphela.

Olu luhlu lubandakanya iDeception Pass State Park, iJoseph Whidbey State Park, iFort Ebey State Park, iFort Casey State Park kunye neSouth Whidbey State Park.

Isimangalo sika-WEAN sithi uqeqesho olucetywayo kwiipaki eziphantsi korhulumente aluhambelani nemithetho enikezela ezi paki kuluntu ngeenjongo zolonwabo, indalo kunye nobuhle.

“Le misebenzi yangasese inethuba eliphezulu lokuphazamisana neenjongo zepaki yoluntu kunye namathuba olonwabo kwiipaki zikarhulumente ngokuxhomekeke kwisigqibo seKomishoni,” lutsho uxwebhu lwezikhalazo.

Ukongeza, i-WEAN ithi ikhomishini yaphule uMthetho woMgaqo-nkqubo wezeNdalo kaRhulumente ngokwamkela isigqibo esithotyiweyo sokugqibela sokungabalulekanga kwisiphakamiso soMkhosi waManzi.

Isikhalazo sithi ikhomishini ayiphumelelanga ukuthathela ingqalelo indlela uqeqesho oluya kubachaphazela ngayo abasebenzisi bepaki, abanokoyika ukudibana namajoni, izixhobo ezilingisayo kunye nezixhobo zomkhosi kwimimandla yepaki karhulumente, okanye abangafuni kujongwa ngokufihlakeleyo. , okanye kujongwe ngamajoni.”

I-WEAN imelwe nguBryan Telegin kunye noZachary Griefen weBricklin & Newman, LLP, waseSeattle.

Kwisiteyitimenti, i-Navy League yase-Oak Harbour yachaza ukuba i-ops ekhethekileyo iqeqeshe ngokufihlakeleyo kwiipaki amashumi eminyaka ngaphandle kwezikhalazo okanye izehlo.

I-League ikwaxoxile ukuba uMkhosi waManzi uyithobele yonke imithetho kwaye nangona "uqeqesho lugubungela indawo enkulu, ipesenti enkulu yenkcaso igxile eWhidbey kuphela."

“Imikhosi eKhethekileyo yaseNavy ithatha umngcipheko omkhulu egameni lesizwe nabemi bayo,” yatsho le League.

“Bafanele bafumane inkxaso yethu eqinileyo. Kwaye, kufuneka bafikelele kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zoqeqesho ezifunayo ukunciphisa ezo ngozi. ”

I-Navy SEALs ngaphambili zinemvume yokusebenzisa iipaki ezintlanu. Phantsi kwemithetho eyamkelwe yikomishini, uluntu alunakukhutshelwa ngaphandle kuyo nayiphi na indawo yeepaki. Uqeqesho olucetywayo lubandakanya ukufaka, ukutsala, ukuntywila, ukuqubha kunye nokunyuka amatye.

Umdibaniso obizwa ngokuba "Akukho kwiiPaki Zethu" zenziwe ngabantu kunye namaqela, kuquka i-WEAN, iSikolo seCalyx, i-Environmentalists Against War, Abahlobo beMiller Peninsula State Park, iBhunga lezendalo le-Olimpiki, i-Spokane Veterans for Peace kunye World Beyond War.

Imanyano yasungula iwebhusayithi yayo, notinourparks.org, kule veki. Iwebhusayithi iqulethe ulwazi loSuku lweNtshukumo kunye nezibonelelo, imfundo malunga nembali kunye nobungozi bobukho boqeqesho lomkhosi eWashington State Parks, kunye neendlela abantu abanokuviwa ngalo mba.

Ngokwengxelo yeli qela, uSuku lokuSebenza luza kubandakanya izinto ezilungele usapho kunye nezinto eziqelelene noluntu ezipakini, kubandakanywa ukutyunjwa kwe-tailgate, picketing, indibano yokutyikitya kunye nokuhanjiswa kweeflaya.

“Simema wonk’ ubani ukuba ‘athabathe’ ipaki ekufuphi aze abe kunye nathi ngoMhla wokuSebenza,” watsho uAllison Warner, umnxibelelanisi wemicimbi ye<em>Not in Our Parks.

“Kuza kubakho izinto ezilula zokunceda abanye abazixabisile iipaki zethu ukuze sizihlaziye yaye sixabise indalo.”
