Shellfish Growing Area Annual Reports - WA State Dept. of Health

Each year, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) Shellfish Program reviews sanitary conditions in each shellfish growing area. DOH reviews water quality data and potential pollution problems and prepares a brief report for each growing area; these are called the Shellfish Growing Area Annual Reports.

The Shellfish Growing Area Annual Reports for data collected in 2007 are listed below, grouped both by the county in which they are located, and alphabetically by growing area name.

In addition to the Shellfish Growing Area Annual Reports, DOH prepares a Threatened Shellfish Areas List for each county [also called the Early Warning System report (EWS)]. The Threatened List identifies water quality sampling stations that are considered to be "Threatened" or "Concerned". These terms indicate that pollution sources may be present that could impact the classified growing area waters.
