Bellingham Bay Demonstration Pilot

SITE DESCRIPTION

In 1996, a cooperative partnership of 15 federal, state, tribal, and local stakeholders joined together to form the Bellingham Bay Demonstration Pilot Team.  The mission of the Pilot Team was to develop a new cooperative approach to expedite sediment cleanup, source control, and habitat restoration for sediment cleanup sites around Bellingham Bay.
In October 2000, the Department of Ecology, as lead agency for the Pilot, issued the Pilot team's planning efforts in the Bellingham Bay Comprehensive Strategy/Final Environmental Impact Statement.  The Comprehensive Strategy was designed to help guide future decisions on control of pollution sources, cleanup and disposal of polluted sediments, restoration of habitat, and in-water and shoreline land uses from a baywide perspective.
