CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. (AP) The Department of Natural Resources has returned to Camano Island again to remove creosote-coated pilings carried by the tide into Elger Bay.
In 2009, the DNR pulled 100 tons of creosote-coated pilings from the area, KING-TV reported.
Creosote was used for over a century to protect wood pilings in the salt water of Puget Sound. Creosote contains hundreds of chemicals, including known carcinogens.
Chris Robertson, Aquatic Restoration manager for DNR’s Aquatics Division, said last week that infrastructure has broken down over time and the pilings enter the aquatic system and end up along Washington shorelines.
