| Join the conversation! Help build a partnership working to develop outreach and residential support strategies to reduce phosphorus in Lake Whatcom.
The City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Lake Whatcom Water and Sewer District and WSU Cooperative Extension are working together to implement a comprehensive strategy for the Silver Beach Creek Watershed, a sub-basin of Lake Whatcom, in order to reduce phosphorus loading into the lake. The Silver Beach Creek Project will work with residents to identify successful phosphorus-reduction strategies in the Silver Beach Creek Watershed that could then be used in the larger Lake Whatcom Watershed. Silver Beach Creek, which is under City and County jurisdiction, has some of the highest phosphorus loading of all Lake Whatcom tributaries. The successes of this program will be applied throughout the watershed as part of the Total Maximum Daily Load response strategy being developed by the City and County for delivery to the Department of Ecology. | ||
