Local Source Control Partnership

Governor Gregoire and the Legislature earmarked $2.1 million for the program in 2007. In January 2008, Ecology selected 14 local governments to receive contract money to hire specialists to help area small businesses control, reduce, or eliminate toxic pollution sources. This effort is currently funded through June of 2009.

Small businesses will get on-site technical assistance to control and prevent toxic pollution sources in the Puget Sound area and the Spokane River Basin. Local governments already help small businesses and citizens safely manage hazardous and solid wastes. The Local Source Control Program helps to build on the success of local programs throughout the state.

There are three facets to this program:

Local Source Visits (info coming soon) Local specialists work with small businesses to keep toxic chemicals and contaminants from entering the environment.
Auto Body Environmental Results Program Pilot (info coming soon) Local governments work with Ecology to pilot a compliance-assistance program for the automotive collision-repair industry.
Local projects(info coming soon) Some local governments received funds for other projects. See individual local governments below.
