Creosote Piling Removals Revisited

Many of you may have heard that the creosote removal program has once again received funding. We are very excited that the Department of Ecology continues to see the value in this program. We will be working on a couple projects with this supplemental money based on our past priority list, but are planning to request additional funds for the 2011-2013 budget. With that in mind, I am hoping to get some assistance on identifying potential sites that we may consider for piling and structural removals if we were to receive funds. As in the past, we are assuming that no matching funds would be required from our partners and DNR will take the lead on all aspects of the project from scoping to bidding to contract oversight.

If you still have structures in your area that need to be removed, please send the site information to me as soon as you can.
