Industrial Waste Program's pollution source control activities in the East Waterway area

King County is participating in source control activities at the Harbor Island Superfund Site's East Waterway Operable Unit (external link) because of the county's combined sewer overflow (CSO) inputs to the East Waterway.

During 2008, KCIW participated as a part of a source control technical team, including the Port of Seattle and the City of Seattle, to plan and implement source control activities including business inspections and source control sampling. Currently the main areas of KCIW activity are:

  • Sediment sampling for CSO characterization
  • Additional sampling for source tracing
  • Ongoing inspections of industrial wastewater dischargers
  • Helping to assess potential sampling sites

Inspections are being conducted as a part of the Washington State Department of Ecology's Urban Waters Initiative (external link).
