Water Quality stories are grouped according to the Water Quality Program's
Five
Program Activities.
Some Stories may fall under more than one category, and are referenced
accordingly.
- Prevent Point Source Pollution
(excluding water cleanup, stormwater, and financial assistance)
- NU CHEM Central Ferry: Unwanted Water
Softener Waste
Consultants, company representatives, and local and state staff worked
together to change a potentially problem water waste discharge to a product
useful for controlling dust on dirt roads. This was done using existing
equipment except for the purchase of a relatively inexpensive pump.
- Pomeroy Wastewater Treatment Plant: Effluent Dissolved Oxygen Solution
The town of
Pomeroy is required to maintain a minimum level of dissolved oxygen in their wastewater discharge. Unfortunately, the effluent dissolved-oxygen concentration was consistently lower than the permit limit. After reviewing the situation, an Ecology staffperson and the treatment plant operator came up with a cheap and reliable fix to the problem.
- Reduce Nonpoint Source
Pollution
(excluding water cleanup, stormwater, and financial assistance)
- Control Stormwater Pollution
- Provide Financial Assistance
- Cleanup Polluted Waters
