Cleanup goals

The Lower Duwamish Sediment Superfund Cleanup goal is to reduce health risks from the waterway’s contaminated sediments for:

1. People who eat seafood living in the Lower Duwamish (salmon are unaffected by the waterway’s sediment quality)
2. People coming into contact with contaminated sediments on Lower Duwamish Waterway beaches
3. Benthic organisms living in the waterway’s sediments
4. Wildlife, including river otters
