Kittitas County December 2016 Comprehensive Plan 2. The Committee should work with WSDOT to identify areas of surplus rights-of-way, which might be used for visitor or employee parking. 3. The Committee should assist and support efforts of Pass business operators to encourage transit operators to provide, or expand, bus service to the Pass. 4. The Committee should bring ideas and suggestions for improving road standards for the mountain environment in terms of special considerations for slope, soil, impermeable surfacing and natural drainage characteristics to the appropriate County and State agencies. 5. The Committee should encourage Kittitas County and the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) to seek funds to finance a detailed traffic study to determine future highway improvements needed to eliminate current safety problems and accommodate land uses shown in the Comprehensive Plan. 6. The Committee should encourage Kittitas and King Counties to apply for available state or federal funds to complete path and trail planning and construction and to fund beautification efforts. 7. Capital Facilities and Utilities The Snoqualmie Pass sewer system is operated in accordance with a Facilities Plan and a State Waste Discharge Permit issued by the Department of Ecology. The Waste Discharge Permit must be renewed every five years. At the time of renewal, a study is conducted to determine the status of the operation of the sewage treatment plant. If the plant is found to be operating at 85% capacity, or greater, DOE requires that additional studies be conducted to do a Plan to Maintain Adequate Capacity, which results in a new or amended Facilities Plan. 7.1.1 Goals and Objectives VII.1 Goal: Insure that public services, utilities and facilities are adequate to provide a high level of service and reliability for present and future land uses. Objectives: 1. A program should be developed and monitored which assures that new development will pay its proportionate share in the construction of new facilities and the maintenance of existing facilities. 2. Activities of service providers should be coordinated to assure that all services are installed during a single construction phase to decrease disruption and risk of erosion. 3. Public and private facilities and services should be provided at levels necessary to support anticipated growth and development per the Comprehensive Plan. The facilities and services needed to support this growth and development include: sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, water, surface water management, police and fire protection, parks and open space and other public utilities.
