The Seattle Public Utilities and King County Wastewater Treatment are asking for input, by August 24th, on potential environmental effects for the Ship Canal Water Quality Project. See an on-line video to learn more about the project, and a proposed solution.
The Ship Canal Water Quality Project entails building a 2.8-mile underground tunnel between Ballard and Wallingford to store storm water and waste water during storms. The Project will reduce the amount of polluted water currently flowing into the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
Information on the Plan to Protect Seattle’s Waterways is available for viewing on-line, on the Seattle.gov/CSO website under the ‘Waterway Protection’ link. The Ship Canal Water Quality Project is the first under this plan, and there is specific information on it at Seattle.gov. Submit scoping comments on this plan at betty.meyer@seattle.gov
