The Port of Everett agreed to settle a lawsuit about releasing water into the Puget Sound that exceeded pollution standards.
All of the money in the agreement will come from the port’s budget, a spokesman said, and complying with the settlement could mean some other waterfront improvements will be delayed.About $2 million of the settlement will pay for stormwater improvements at the port’s seaport along Everett’s waterfront.
The agreement requires the port to begin immediately monitoring stormwater discharges. The port has to install biofiltration systems by the end of October 2024. It also is required to make permanent a pilot treatment system in the North Yard at the Hewitt Terminal.
