Additional Work Needed on Digester Tanks Restoration Project to Remove Lead Paint
May 08, 2024
The Port is removing failing paint from six Digester Tanks on Bellingham’s downtown waterfront to preserve them as historic icons. Despite controls put into place to contain the lead-based paint, some waste paint chips were found on the lawns next to the tanks.
The Port has started a project to remove and replace the lawns next to the Digester Tanks to ensure full removal of all waste lead-based paint. The Port anticipates the new lawns will ready for use by June 1st, and appreciate everyone’s patience as we safely prepare our waterfront for the summer season.
