What happens before a waterfront is rebuilt: Inside Seaport Landing’s cleanup plan.
🗺️ Environmental Review
Before new public access, maritime facilities, or redevelopment can move forward, Seaport Landing must complete a careful environmental review and cleanup process designed to protect people and the harbor.
🔍 Historical Industrial Impact
Studies prepared by Maul Foster & Alongi, Inc. examine historical industrial impacts typical of working waterfronts. Findings are being reviewed by the Washington State Department of Ecology, Washington State Department of Natural Resources, and the Quinault Indian Nation.
📋 Proven Methods
The proposed approach uses proven methods—soil removal, stabilization, targeted treatment, and monitoring—allowing cleanup work to support future use rather than limit it. More than $6.13 million in grant funding has already been secured, with additional studies planned as the project moves forward.
