Applicant Development of Class A Reclaimed Water System as an Alternative to City Of Ellensburg Sewer Services: The applicant will enter into an agreement with LCU, Inc., a private utility company, to produce a plan for providing sewer services to this proposal through the development of a Class A Reclaimed Water system as provided for in RCW 90.46 if the City of Ellensburg declines to serve the proposal with sewer collection service. This planning for said Class A reclaimed Water System will start if the applicant is denied access to the City of Ellensburg utilities through an Utility Extension Agreement. LCU, Inc. is currently in the process of building the first Class A Reclaimed Water System in the county in the Ronald area. The system that is proposed for this project will be similar in design and operation as the approved Ronald Class A Reclaimed Water Facility. This Class A Reclaimed Water facility could use the treated water to augment in stream flow, aquifer recharge, or any or all uses allowed by Washington State Law. Approximately I20 acre feet of reclaimed water could be produced by the Calls A Reclaimed Water facility. 2) Describe waste materials that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. It is intended that urban services will be supplied by the City of Ellensburg via an outside utility extension agreement. If this does not happen then the landowner is prepared to provide his own services through the creation of a Group A Water System, Individual or Community Septic systems, and the development of a Class A Reclaimed Water System. The use of approved Washington State Department of Health or Kittitas County Environmental Health Department Community Septic Systems as well as individual septic systems will be used to treat the initial needs of the development with discharges to the ground as allowed by Washington State Law. A licensed septic designer or a licensed professional engineer will design these systems. These systems will discharge treated wastewater in the amount allowed by Washington State law. Option 1: Applicant Development of Group A Water System as an Alternative to City Of Ellensburg Water Service: If the City of Ellensburg declines to provide the project with water service, the applicant, who owns a number of senior water rights associated with the proposed project, will develop a Group A water system to serve the property. One of the senior water rights would be converted from a surface water right to a ground water right and used to serve the domestic water required for this proposal. This water right would then be used as the basis to form a Group A water system which would be approved by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH). The Group A water system would be managed by LCU, Inc, an approved Satellite Management Agency approved by the DOH and Kittitas County. Irrigation water would be provided through the other existing rights.
