• Other Key Facts:
The City has partnered with the Department of Ecology (ECY) since 2011. The partnership has provided the City with over 1.2 million dollars to provide outreach to businesses on hazardous materials handling. ECY started the Local Source Control Partnership (now PPA) in 2007. This State funding enables jurisdictions to hire PPA Specialists to provide one-on-one technical assistance to small businesses to properly manage their hazardous waste and evaluate options for safer chemicals. This approach saves money for small businesses while protecting the State's urban water quality.
OUTCOMES:
The amendment funding will subsidize the Program Administrator's salaries and benefits due to the unanticipated 7% cost of living adjustment and signing bonus.
