Brief description of significant agency actions for which the agency is initiating an environmental justice assessment.
The DOH is conducting an Environmental Justice Assessment on the Alternative Drinking Water Program (ADWP). This program was created with 2023-2025 funding provided through ESSB 5187. The goal of the ADWP is to assist with access to safe drinking water if private wells or Group B water supplies are impacted by contamination. Group B systems serve fewer than 15 residential connections and less than 25 people per day.
