| Short Description |
The Department of Ecology has identified fecal coliform bacteria pollution as a major problem in Washington State surface waters. Bacteria are the most common pollutant in state waters, affecting at least thirty percent of the state′s impaired waterbodies. The sources of bacteria vary with location. In urban watersheds, pet wastes may be a major factor. Properly locating, installing, and maintaining pet waste collection systems are the best first step for addressing the problem of animal waste in public areas. | |
