Description Dungeness Bay in Clallam County does not meet Class AA marine water quality standards. Fecal coliform bacteria reductions of from 41-65% are required in the inner bay during the November - February period to meet water quality standards. Irrigation ditches to the inner bay do not meet Class AA freshwater standards. Ditches need a 33-97% reduction in bacteria to meet standards. A year-round 60% reduction in bacteria levels is required for the Dungeness Bay near the mouth of the Dungeness River. The Dungeness River does not meet total maximum daily load targets set in 2002.

A variety of management activities are necessary to meet the bacterial standards in the bay, ditches, and river.
