The Whatcom Waterway Project Site (Site) is located in the city of Bellingham (City) waterfront district in Whatcom County, Washington, and is managed by the Port of Bellingham (Port). The Site is an active waterway used for commercial and recreational operations, including transfer of bulk materials, boatyard operations such as maintenance and repair, and vessel moorage. Historical industrial activities performed adjacent to the Site have resulted in sediment contamination within and surrounding the waterway, including mercury, phenolic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds, and dioxins and furans. Site remediation activities are being implemented in compliance with the requirements of the Washington State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) and Sediment Management Standards (SMS) regulations. The Port is in process of developing plans for future redevelopment of the waterway and surrounding upland areas, including residential and commercial development, industrial development supporting future marine trade use, and public access points to the waterway.
