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)
- The New Klickitat Wastewater Treatment Plant
(also see Provide Financial Assistance)
An account of a multifaceted approach of innovation and
cooperation resulting in the construction of a new wastewater treatment
plant to replace an ailing treatment plant.

-
Enforcement
Promotes Understanding (Also see Control Stormwater Pollution )
Some homeowners complained to Ecology
that the city of Goldendale (City) had dug out a wetland on their property,
leaving behind a pond that smelled of sewage. While the case seemed simple
at first, the outcome went farther than “just” environmental protection.
Ecology’s Central Regional Office’s subsequent enforcement and communication
with the City helped bridge years of discontent between the City and
Ecology.
