Brief description of significant agency actions for which the agency is initiating an environmental justice assessment.
This project will build a stormwater treatment facility beneath the north end of the I-5 Ship Canal Bridge. Stormwater runoff is the leading source of pollution in the Puget Sound and nearby waterways, impacting the health of communities, ecosystems, and wildlife. This facility will capture, carry, and clean stormwater runoff from I-5 by removing harmful pollutants, including 6PPD, a chemical used in tires that is toxic to salmon, before the water flows into the ship canal.
Methods for providing public comment for agency consideration as part of the environmental justice assessment.
