“Advance better, faster cleanups, and protect clean water from harmful pollution. Chb is the only environmental organization in the south sound with a patrol vessel, and averages over 100 bay patrols a year. Chb tackles some of the most egregious polluters, or potential polluters, by monitoring a pollution hotline and drafting comment letters in response to proposed environmental actions in tacoma and pierce county. Chb's work improves environmental and land use planning at the local level, and strengthens implementation of superfund regulations and state contaminated site clean up regulations. Communities for a healthy bay (chb) is committed to ensuring that all residents of tacoma and pierce county benefit from a clean and healthy environment. Our work emphasizes fairness, inclusion, and community engagement, recognizing that pollution and environmental degradation often impact certain neighborhoods more heavily than others. Through programs such as chb's environmental education camps, we connect local youth to the natural environment and empower them to become future stewards of our waterways. Chb provides residents with opportunities to participate in decisions that affect their communities and works to ensure that every voice is heard in protecting our shared environment.”
