| Abstract | Long Description |
Gibbons Creek, which is located in Clark County near Washougal, is facing water quality challenges. A study by the state Department of Ecology (Ecology) has found that water in the creek violates water quality standards for fecal coliform bacteria. Fecal coliform is a major concern because it indicates that biological waste is entering the river. Common sources of fecal coliform include failing septic tanks and agricultural run-off. |
