7/6/23, 4:19 PM Print/Preview collection of household hazardous waste are discussed, with expansion of the current MRW facilities being identified as a necessity. This would include accommodating more waste types and/or extending the hours of operation. 15. Are there any barriers or time constraints restricting or delaying the completion of this project? If yes, please explain. Currently the design is progressing through 100% and the project is obtaining the necessary permits to begin construction. Kittitas County Solid Waste is planning to go to bid for construction prior to the fall of 2023. There are no other barriers or time constraints restricting or delaying completion of this project. 16. What are the impacts to the local community if this project is not funded by the PWB? How would your jurisdiction address these impacts? If the remaining portion of the project is not funded by PWB, Kittitas County will continue to seek other funding sources, however construction will need to proceed. This will require project elements to be phased and prioritized. The MRW and office facilities would need to be constructed at a later date, creating limitations to the service offerings for hazardous waste disposal within the community. This project is necessary to the community to support safe growth and the necessary disposal services. 17. What is the "compelling case" for this project? Why should the PWB consider funding this project? This project started in 2016 with community outreach, education and siting. Kittitas County has been working since then to develop a solution to the growing community disposal limitations that exist with the current, aging facility. In the time since 2016, the global pandemic and the resulting growth of rural communities such as Kittitas County in conjunction with changing regulations in the state of Washington has changed and expanded the needs of this project. The capacity requirement for the facility has grown through the following: - the incorporation of composting capabilities to be forward compatible with 1-1131799 - extended producer responsibility requirements through which the County will support through segregated recycling and disposal spaces - the safe handling of higher quantities of household hazardous waste materials. All of these elements have all impacted this project through design maturity and incorporating the elements into the final design will exponentially benefit Kittitas County as it continues to grow. 18. If this project will be completed in partnership with other organizations, agencies, or regionalized efforts, please list those partnerships below and describe the role of each partner. Letters of support or negotiated letters of agreement from major partners should be attached to this application. No, this project is not in partnership with any other organizations/agencies and/or regionalization. 19. Does this project require coordination with other infrastructure projects, either internal or external? For example, a water main replacement project that coincides with a transportation improvement project or a bridge construction project that is connected to a stormwater project. Ifyes, please describe%xplain and provide documentation under the Documents tab of the other connected infrastructure project(s) and construction schedule(s). ❑ Yes, explain: W No 20. Is the project identified in a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Capital Facilities Plan (CFP), or similar document? Ifyes, please provide a hyperlink to the document where it asks to 'explain' Ifyour jurisdiction is not required to complete a CIP, UP, or similar document, please select "No." hftps://www.zoomgrants.conVprintprop.asp?rfpidu=948F1 F7B4E2F4779858B15D4C80F77AA&propidu=35489FB76EC347078DAB7C253F284756... 14/21
