John Konovsky, environmental
program manager for the Squaxin
Island Indian Tribe, samples the
water in the cove several times a
week and has come to the conclu-
sion that Uncle John Creek is a
major source of the pollution there.
He thinks "the usual suspects" are
responsible for the contamination,
these being human beings who use
failing septic systems and large
farm animals that dump their
excremental h)ads on the ground.
Given the tendency of water to flow
downhill, wet weather washes cow
pies, horse pucky and stuffleaking
out of septic systems into Oakland
Bay. In remarks to various gather-
ings of people with an interest in
the issue, Konovsky has made the
point that Chapman barely passed
state muster last year and might
not pass state muster this year.
The Department of Health re-
views the water quality of com-
mercial shellfish beds on an annu-
al basis and classifies them at the
end of every year. With the pros-
pect of another revision looming,
Konovksy sounded a hopeful note
