This Department of Ecology LISTSERV provides information on efforts to control sources of pollution to the\u00a0Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund Cleanup<\/a>\u00a0site.<\/p>\n

Per the Task Force request, below is an example of our Duwamish updates listserv.\u00a0 Folks can sign up here: http:\/\/www.ecy.wa.gov\/maillist.html<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

For folks who want information just about the Pollutant Loading Assessment, they can find info on this webpage: http:\/\/www.ecy.wa.gov\/geographic\/GreenDuwamish\/pla.html<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

If they want to observe the Technical Advisory Committee meetings, these are open.\u00a0 Folks can contact Joan Nolan (joan.nolan@ecy.wa.gov<\/a><\/u>) if they want to be added to that smaller list.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Seattle metal recycler fined $64,000 for pollution discharges to Duwamish River<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ecology\u00a0fined\u00a0Seattle Iron and Metals Corporation $64,000 for discharging stormwater with excessive levels of several pollutants into the Duwamish River. The company\u2019s monitoring records showed 27 violations of pollutant limits from February 2015 through December 2016. On June 20 and 21, 2016, stormwater was allowed to bypass the treatment system, which resulted in four additional violations. Seattle Iron and Metals Corporation also failed to submit monitoring reports for the fourth quarter in 2015.\u00a0 The company paid the fine. Ecology\u2019s water quality penalties go to the state\u2019s\u00a0Coastal Protection Fund<\/a><\/u>\u00a0which issues grants to public agencies and tribes for water quality restoration projects.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Site Work begins for the Georgetown Wet Weather Treatment Station<\/strong><\/p>\n

King County is beginning site demolition and soil remediation work at the home of the future Georgetown Wet Weather Treatment Station. The station will treat combined sewage and stormwater flows from the Michigan and Brandon combined sewer overflow basins.\u00a0 Ecology\u2019s Water Quality Program reviewed the plans for this project to ensure that it meets the state\u2019s water quality laws.\u00a0 Ecology is reviewing the 90% design documents for the treatment facility, conveyance system improvements, and the facility\u2019s outfall in the Duwamish River (where treated wastewater will discharge). King County\u2019s project website:\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/www.kingcounty.gov\/depts\/dnrp\/wtd\/capital-projects\/active\/georgetown.aspx<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>City of Seattle has begun testing stormwater treatment technologies at Riverside Drive as part of the<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>South Park Water Quality<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This stormwater treatment facility will treat runoff from the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0Avenue storm drain basin in South Park. The project is part of Seattle\u2019s Integrated\u00a0Plan to protect Seattle\u2019s waterways<\/a>, approved by Ecology and EPA, which addresses control of\u00a0combined sewer overflows<\/a>\u00a0(CSOs<\/a>) and includes stormwater projects.<\/p>\n
