The City will dispose of the debris as waste, and re-use the clean fill on site in addition to importing new fill. Local volunteers have also begun planting native plants and vegetation close to the water to help restore fish habitat. Plants provide an important source of nutrients and organic matter. Because restoration is not an exact science, City of Tacoma staff will monitor and evaluate these efforts to determine if further enhancement is needed, or if staff can maintain the site as is. NRDA is a component of the federal Superfund law, which aims to restore natural resources that have been damaged by pollution.
