well over the last 1.5 years i have had 2 phone calls with DNR/ WDFW which i recorded for the Documentary... according to them the Wash state Ferry is in charge of the project.... Titlow is not being removed and will stay , and also Keystone will also not be touched...ljjames wrote:Props H2O doc for documenting this.
From what i can see in your images, they were incredibly not careful with regards to removal and those torn up pilings look ripe for releasing more nasty creosote into the waters. are you in communication with anyone from WDFW? Having seen the removal at Edmonds I feel like this could have been done in a more elegant fashion. The purpose of this removal as I understand it was to get the creosote pilings OUT of the water, not tear them up and leave portions strewn about. I guess the end result will be what matters but this interim state is hard to see.
I'd be happy to help out with topside interviews for your documentary, I have full ENG sound kit, mics, blahblabblah broadcast quality cameras, lights etc. I think the angle to take (and the only messaging I'd be involved in helping develop/produce) isn't one of we should have left the pilings (because creosote is not good for the environment and piling removal is actually beneficial) but if we are going to remove nasty stuff we need to do it in a fashion that won't do more harm. If that messaging doesn't work for you (we can discuss it in PM if you like) I could also see a general collaboration on a separate project that supports the alternate argument of leaving the pilings (based on diver interviews of the diving environment that is missing now) where I give you access to the footage that supports your views, and you do your own edit
