& correction

Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Projects are conducted to determine the causes and sources of bacterial water pollution in specific geographical areas. Common sources of bacterial pollution include failing on-site sewage systems and animal waste. The PIC Program has developed a prioritized list of areas in Kitsap County that are in need of a Pollution Identification and Correction project. Projects are generally funded by the Kitsap County Surface and Stormwater Management Program and grants from the State Department of Ecology.
The goals of a PIC project are to:
- Protect public health
- Protect shellfish resources
- Preserve, protect and restore surface water quality.
Select the 2010 Pollution Identification and Correction Priority List for information on current and historical projects. For more information on this program, please contact either Leslie Banigan (360) 337-5627 or Stuart Whitford (360) 337-5674.
