Located at Sanderson Industrial Park DEPARTMENT OF , ECOLOGY 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 Unhealthy waters in the Oakland Bay watershed.
