Clallam County Rifle Range

Clallam County Commissioners discussed the ongoing shooting range debate yesterday. The main question was whether the county should spend $14,721 for an environmental study on the land where the range would be located.

The proposed location is Sadie Creek, near Joyce, on land managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The environmental study would deal with possible lead contamination and loss of wetland habitat.

Commissioners Mike Doherty and Steve Tharinger support having the study. Mike Chapman opposes it, saying he’d rather work with stakeholders to come up with a better study.

During the public comment period, about a dozen people spoke. About half of them supported having a gun range at the Sadie Creek location.
