Description This focus sheet summarizes how Ecology’s water workload is soaring due to a recent federal court ruling about Section 401 permits for state shellfish farmers, and the adoption of a new EPA rule rolling back federal water quality protections under the federal Clean Water Act. The document outlines how Ecology is working to respond to these twin challenges.
