Project Overview: EV-0159
Stormwater treatment system improvements aimed at protecting water quality. This project will modify existing drainage infrastructure in three locations around Lake Whatcom as part of the City’s capital improvement program.
This project will install stormwater treatment systems to protect water quality in Lake Whatcom from pollution running off of private properties and City roads and rights-of- way. With this project, the network of necessary treatment systems in the City’s portion of the Lake Whatcom watershed will be substantially complete. Nearly all of the runoff from the city portion of the watershed would then be treated, to some degree, for phosphorus, fecal coliform, and other pollutants.
