The Washington Department of Ecology is a key partner and stakeholder for ports across the state, which is why we are so pleased that the director of Ecology, Laura Watson, has agreed to speak to ports at this important Roundtable.
As the new director of Ecology, Ms. Watson will share her priorities for the agency and offer her thoughts about how she plans to work with port districts protect public health and the environment.
Elected port leaders will be especially interested to hear her thoughts about how to ensure MTCA cleanup funds are retained for their intended uses. We look forward to her thoughts about how we can work together to shape efficient and effective standards.
