The City Council ratified the Bellingham noise ordinance to allow piling removal along Bellingham Bay around some residential areas.
The removal began in late fall to remove the creosote-treated pilings and prevent further contamination of the Bellingham Bay. The piling removal is expected to be done by the end of the week, however the project could go until Feb. 28, said Councilman Terry Bornemann.
The method used to remove the pilings during low tide could occur outside the ordinance's 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. noise allowance. Most residents should not be affected, but the noise could carry into some residential areas, especially those close to the waterfront in the South Hill neighborhood and the western part of the Sehome neighborhood.
