(RANDLE, WA) -- Many Randle
residents were at Monday’s Lewis County Commissioners meeting to voice their
opposition to the proposed Crystal Geyser water bottling plant on Peters Road
in Randle. One was Craig Jasmer, who said Crystal Geyser has not yet submitted
any applications with Lewis County, but they have submitted a water rights
permit application with the Washington Department of Ecology. He said Ecology
says approval of that permit is contingent upon Lewis County’s approval. Those
speaking to the Commissioners urged them to recommend denial of the water
rights permit to the Department of Ecology.
