While we have made considerable progress in reducing toxic contamination in water and sediments over the years, we need to consider whether or not we are getting to the root of our state's most pressing water pollution problems, and, if not, what actions might cost less and do more.
Our state can point to some remarkable success stories where Ecology, businesses and environmentalists came together to solve similarly complex problems. I am confident that, by working together, we can attain water that is clean enough for the way it is used, through approaches that are doable both in terms of costs and compliance.
