Short Description

This report summarizes information about the location, nature, and status of contaminated sediment sites. As the lead state agency for environmental cleanup activities, Ecology plays an important role in restoring sediment quality. Under the authority of the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), the Water Pollution Control Act (WPCA), and Sediment Management Standards (SMS), the Toxics Cleanup Program (the Program) is charged with getting contaminants out of the environment and keeping them out. The SMS prescribes criteria, source control, assessment, and cleanup procedures specific to the sediment media.
