Description The Department of Ecology started cleaning up contaminated sediment in Whatcom Waterway in 2001 and awarded the Port of Bellingham a grant of $37 million to continue the cleanup work. This substantial investment requires an Environmental Justice Assessment to understand how we can reduce harmful impacts and address inequities. We want to hear how this cleanup could benefit or impact your community.
