IN 2019, Clallam Public Utility District and City of Sequim installed electric vehicle charging stations for use by the public. 

Washington State University Extension in Clallam & Jefferson Counties (WSU) and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) partnered to provide environmental education, training, and ongoing coordination to community members and students who are helping restore riparian ecosystems on the North Olympic Peninsula.

North Olympic Land Trust and Jefferson Land Trust are partnering to conserve the Olympic Peninsula's rich habitat, natural resources, prime farmland soils, and breathtaking scenery - in perpetuity.

To support this work, our collaboration recently completed an intensive study that led to the creation of a series of maps illustrating many of the projected climate impacts on the Peninsula.

Jefferson County funded the first septic repair through a new cost-share program in July, 2021. The program offers qualified applicants assistance with repair or replacement costs up to $20,000, and can be used in addition to Craft3 low-interest loans. Sites near streams and shorelines are prioritized, with the goal of protecting water quality from bacterial pollution.

This project improves water quality in Clallam County by updating its comprehensive stormwater management strategy.

In 2020, a 50-Megawatt solar array was installed on the roof of the Sequim Civic Center.

The Reservoir project, a long-term collaboration by water resource managers who are concerned with water supplies for people, farms, and fish, is moving forward to dramatically improve flow and habitat in the Dungeness River, while also addressing the effects of climate change on water supply.

Stopping stormwater and associated pollutants in its tracks, by prioritizing discharge sites and then implementing low-impact retrofit projects, is critical to the health of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.

With support from the Strait Ecosystem Recovery Network and funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, the North Olympic Lead Entity for Salmon inventoried county road culverts along the Western Strait of Juan de Fuca to identity where fish-blocking, undersized or failing culverts are located which negatively impact salmon, keeping them from prime spawning and rearing habitat.

By removing a mile of outdated levee and an old road, Clallam County and its partners will reconnect the Dungeness River to about 100 acres of historic floodplain. A new levee and road will be built farther away from the river. Salmon habitat will improve as the river flows once again into channels that had been cut off by the levee. People will be better protected from floods, as the new levee is designed to modern standards. The new levee is being built now. The old levee and road will be removed in 2022-2-23. Get ready to see the Dungeness River once again flowing through its floodplain!

More than 175 partners across the North Olympic Peninsula came together between in 2014 and 2015 to collaboratively plan for climate change, with the effort culminating in with the Climate Change Preparedness Plan for the North Olympic Peninsula.

Puget Sound waters benefit from a multi-partner program that monitors water quality to identify pollution sources. This program incorporates the expertise of Clallam County Environmental Health, Clallam County Streamkeepers, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe Environmental Planning, and Clallam Conservation District to monitor water quality in area streams. When a pollution source is identified, stakeholders work together to solve the issue.
