Unalaska water scoring well


Thursday, July 29 2010
Unalaska, AK – The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation has just put out its biannual integrated report, and there's good news for Unalaska: Both Dutch Harbor and Iliuliuk Bay are looking cleaner.
The report examines the condition of the states water bodies and establishes whether they're in line with the federal Clean Water Act. Iliuliuk Bay and portions of Dutch Harbor were designated as category two waters, which means that they're safe for their designated uses. However, there are two small nearshore parts of Dutch Harbor that remain impaired, according to the report.
