The Plantation Rifle Range in Whatcom county has been closed since I believe Sept/Oct '22 for environmental remediation, 50 years of lead accumulation posed a potential environmental health hazard to the nearby salmon-bearing stream. I have been checking the county website periodically for updates but haven't seen anything really new since fall '22. There was a public comment period in Feb of this year but the linked document produces a 404 error. Does anyone in the area or connected to the project know if they are still on track for the projected re-open in Sept? |

Not looking so good. |

Not looking so good. The Cascadia Daily News article was informative regarding the current state of the facilities, more than I can say about the county website. Thank you. Hopefully they can keep on track and the facility open with current budgets. I definitely would pay a higher range fee if it helped to keep the facilities open. |

You, I, members here and beyond letting them know we will pay range fees might help. Note they say the lead levels in the water don't exceed the limit. |

Quick update from what I could find. Per the Dept. of Ecology site, the range status is Awaiting Cleanup. Reviewing the '23 Q3 project update, they are in the Planning and Pre-Design phase. According the estimated timeline, the project will not be completed until the end of '25. Hopefully that's a typo on the report but who knows. https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/cleanupsearch/site/15182 https://wa-whatcomcounty.civicplus.com/ ... mental-Rem Really unfortunate  .
