Comments requested on the
Draft Oakland Bay Water Quality Improvement
and Implementation Plan
There are too many fecal coliform bacteria in Oakland Bay, Hammersley Inlet, and
selected tributaries located in the Kennedy/Goldsborough watershed. During
2004-2006, the Squaxin Island Tribe and the Washington State Department of
Ecology (Ecology) collected water quality data for these waterbodies. This was
done in response to impairment listings on the 303(d) list. Ecology has analyzed
the data and made recommendations to reduce fecal coliform pollution in these
areas.
Ecology, Mason County Government,
Squaxin Island Tribe, City of Shelton,
Port of Shelton, WSU Mason
Extension, Mason Conservation
District, shellfish industry and local
business, and other partners associated
with the Oakland Bay Clean Water
District, have been working on a
water quality improvement and
implementation plan to clean up
