A link for the petition was sent to the boards of directors of Weyerhaeuser, Campbell Global, Sierra Pacific Industries, WA State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Hilary Franz (WA State Commissioner of Public Lands), WA State Board of Natural Resources (BNR), Forest Practices Board (FPB of DNR). No response yet. We invited Senator Pearson, Representative Kristiansen and all their fellow WA State senators, representatives and their families to come and observe aerial toxic pesticide spraying in our Valley, that takes place in dry, calm weather. We also asked them to think about how to strengthen WA State laws that protect watersheds of public and private water sources against toxic chemical pollution and to meet and discuss this topic. No response yet. According to Weyerhaeuser, the company will execute aerial pesticide sprays on industrial tree farms in Sky Valley (Proctor Creek area, not far from fire site of May 2016) any time October 1-31. Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) has sprayed and will spray in Sky Valley any time starting September 15, 2017. It will not disclose exact times of sprays in order to keep its employees safe.

Taken as a whole, the papers show that both industry and regulators understood the extraordinary toxicity of many chemical products and worked together to conceal this information from the public and the press. These papers will transform our understanding of the hazards posed by certain chemicals on the market and the fraudulence of some of the regulatory processes relied upon to protect human health and the environment.
