正文(英文) | ![]() Burnt Bridge Creek runs through the heart of Vancouver, Wash., before eventually connecting to the Columbia River and discharging into the Pacific Ocean. More than $7 million in grant funding from the Washington State Department of Ecology will support stormwater infrastructure projects that improve water quality within the Burnt Bridge Creek watershed by 2022.
