Additional News re King County Proposed Septic System Ordinance Changes!
The King County Department of Health has "pushed back" presenting its code changes to the King County Board of Health. CAPR has had concerns and complaints about both the proposed code and the process of OSS Ordinance changes that have provided a rocky road for citizens seeking to remain involved with a clear understanding of what is proposed. That being said, the comments below outlining our concerns with the Ordinance or code remain valid and still need to be presented to the county!

CAPR is interested in and grateful for other organizations that focus on a fair, balanced, scientifically sound, and well managed regulatory means. It is not enough for government to regulate and leave forgetting the long term management best practices, rather, an ideal regulatory environment would include sensible solutions and management strategies that would serve the purposes of long term goals that are acheivable and workable and that include the experiences and dare say expertise of those living in the working environment.
House Bill 1215 Concerning the protection and restoration of riparian areas.
January 25, 2023

CAPR Opposes HB 1838 Protecting, restoring, and maintaining habitat for salmon recovery.
CAPR has provided this testimony and comment on HB 1838 which if appropriately titled would read "Establishing takings and ruining private property rights and farming in Washington State"
Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights members from both the west and east sides of the state adamantly and absolutely oppose 1838 and its companions in the Senate 5727 and 5665.
The bills should be sidelined and stopped even though the governor has requested them. Explaining all that is wrong with this proposed legislation would take far more than a minute or 2.
