Port of Olympia

Our Executive Director Alex Smith was honored to present the keynote address at the Northwest Remediation Conference in Tacoma earlier this week. She was joined by Rob Webb of Dalton, Olmsted & Fuglevand (DOF) who is the lead engineer for Budd Inlet cleanup and restoration. Together they presented on the Port of Olympia’s progress on cleaning up legacy contamination in Budd Inlet, along with the opportunities and challenges that come with a project of such magnitude. Many thanks to the Northwest Environmental Business Council (NEBC) for hosting an informative event that brought together hundreds of environmental professionals and exhibitors.
