Puget Sound Pollution Prevention

The Department of Ecology is anticipating awarding 8 to 12 partnership agreements, ranging from $200,000 to $400,000 through June 2009. The funding is to help small businesses in the Puget Sound area reduce and prevent water pollution. Nearly 70% of the state’s hazardous waste generators are in the Puget Sound region.

With the funding the local governments and small businesses will hopefully be able to safely manage hazardous and sold wastes.
