| Short Description |
This brochure was originally published under the Publication # 08-01-024. Commencement Bay was one of three areas chosen by the Legislature in 2007 for Washington′s new Urban Waters Initiative. For the Bay, the goal of the Urban Waters Initiative is to prevent new environmental contamination, or recontamination, of sites that have already been cleaned up. The approach used to meet this goal is called "source control". (Also see abstract below) | |||
