Here is a letter template that you can use to write to Greg Patz and let him know what you think. [email protected] To: Greg Patz, Alaska Department of Transportation Our communities are highly concerned about your proposed plans to spray chemical herbicides along Prince of Wales’ 17 mile Thorne Bay road. We ask that ONLY non-chemical maintenance and vegetation control methods be utilized. POW residents are concerned that spraying toxic chemicals from a truck mounted sprayer reaching 20-25 feet on either side could harm water quality in streams as well as aquatic life such as salmon and amphibians. Chemical herbicides pose documented risks to fish and amphibians and should be not be used in watersheds containing world-class fisheries resources. Residents are also concerned about adverse impacts to subsistence resources local people use the road to access, such as deer, berries, mushrooms, as well as edible and medicinal plants. Please listen to local communities and avoid using herbicides on the Thorne Bay road. Sincerely,
