Notice Seeking Public Comment on the Wastewater General Sewer Plan and Facility Plan Draft

The City of Leavenworth has formally issued a Determination of Non-significance (DNS) regarding its proposed Wastewater General Sewer Plan and Facility Plan, following the State Environmental Policy Act guidelines. The primary goal of this plan, dated 2017, is to provide city officials with a comprehensive engineering analysis of the current wastewater treatment plant and sewer collection system. This assessment will help prioritize necessary improvements to effectively meet the evolving needs of the community. The plan complies with Washington State Department of Ecology standards, ensuring that local infrastructure is sustainable and up to code. A public comment period will run from June 7 to June 21, 2017, encouraging residents to engage with the proposal and voice their opinions.

Importantly, only those who submit comments within this timeframe will be eligible to appeal the SEPA determination. Interested citizens can review the plan and its associated documents at City Hall or request copies from Development Services Manager Nathan Pate. This initiative underscores the city's commitment to transparency and community involvement in local governance.
