Project Description: Describe the scope of work. Indicate the major work involved, including a brief comoarison of existina and or000sed conditions. This project will construct an 8 -inch gravity sewer main, grinder pump station, 1,5 -inch sewer force main and a fl- inch force main to provide sanitary service to businesses south of Railroad Avenue and to support future develop- ment. The lift station will be constructed at the south end of the project and pump wastewater north in the 1.5 -inch force main to Railroad Avenue, into the City's existing sewer system. The 4 -inch force main will not be active at the conclusion of construction; it would be installed to encourage future commercial / industrial development on unde- veloped lands south of the project area. The City applied for and received a COG grant in 2016 to support design and construction of sewer improvements in the project area. Through completing designs, it was learned that addi- tional funds are needed for construction. Construction dewatering will be more extensive than what was originally budgeted for due to the high groundwater table in the area. Native soils will be saturated and not suitable for backfill so greater quantities of bank run gravel for trench backfill will be needed than was originally planned for. It was also learned that a cultural resources survey will be needed, adding additional costs to the project. 2. Explain the specific infrastructure Issues the project addresses and how they are linked to economic development improvements. Some existing businesses in the project area must store their waste in holding tanks and then have it pumped into trucks for transport to the City wastewater treatment plant. This process is costly and inconvenient. Some businesses have expressed concerns to the City regarding the costs and hassle of having to deal with sewage storage and disposal, and this project will help ensure these businesses remain committed to staying in the community. Existing business provide approximately 40 jobs in the area. Establishing a sanitary sewer system in the area will also promote the development of other businesses along Main Street south of Railroad Avenue, Including the planned industrial area. This area is regionally important due to the lack of industrial zoned land available in the County. 3. Preliminary Engineering Phase: Estimated Start Date: Jan. 2020 Estimated End Date: Apr. 2020 Please explain phase status (work already completed, in progress, awaiting funding, etc., and factors that may slow phase progress). Preliminary construction plans, specifications and a cost estimate have been prepared for the project, using 2016 COG funds and City funds. The improvements shown along Main Street on the current plans extend to approxi- mately 850 feet south of the intersection of Railroad Avenue.The City recently completed a Wastewater Collection System Planning report. The report determined that long term development of the industrial area will require sub- stantial infrastructure improvement to adequately build out the entire area, which would otherwise delay the com- pletion of this project to serve existing businesses. The intent of the project is to provide immediate sanitary sewer services to existing users, and to encourage future development in the immediate vicinity and in areas to the south towards the interstate. 4. Right of Way Phase: Estimated Start Date: Jan. 2020 Is It Required? Yes X No Estimated End Date: Apr. 2020 Please explain phase status (work already completed, in progress, awaiting funding, etc., and factors that may slow phase progress). This phase will be completed in tandem with the engineering phase so that construction will not be delayed due to right-of-way project requirements. Based on design work that has already been com- pleted, it`s anticipated that temporary construction easements will be needed to construct sewer services and pump station improvements. 5. Construction Phase: Estimated Start Date: May 2020 Estimated End Date: Oct. 2020 Please explain phase status (work already completed. In progress, awaiting funding, etc„ and factors that may slow phase progress). Construction will begin following the completion of the preliminary engineering and right-of-way phases. 6. Indicate If the project Is consistent with the following applicable state, regional and local plans and prioritization processes: © Overall Economic Development Plan - Officially Adopted El Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Officially Adopted 2007 ® Capital f=acility Pian -Officially Adopted 2007 0 Community Action Pian (or other community-based plan) - Officially Adopted ® Six -Year Transportation Improvement Plan - Officially Adopted Updated 2014 ® Site-specific development plans; e.g., Community Master Plan -Officially Adopted 2012 Sewer Feasibility Study © Other 7. Explain how this Infrastructure project has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, stateMaderal agencies, and with leconomic development organizations during planning, design, financing, construction and/or operation phases. The City had worked for more than seven years and spent more than $80,000.00 in legal and administrative fees to expand its southeast UGA. During this process, the City worked with Kittitas County, the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, Conference of Government, and the Department of Commerce to identify the adopted UGA. As the recipient of a 2014 COG grant, the City completed a Wastewater Collection System Planning Report to plan the sewer needs for the UGA area to enable economic development in the South Kittitas area. This application is meant to be another "leg of that process" for the purposes of providing City sewer services to existing businesses south of Railroad Av- enue. The businesses in this area provide a substantial number of jobs, and sales tax revenue to the City and have expressed significant interest in remaining at their current locations, dependent upon the City's implementation of delivering sewer service. Providing sewer service will also aid the City with compliance with the Department of Ecology for industrial businesses in these locations. The City will work with the Department of Ecology and the Department of Health in the planning and construction of the sewer improvements. S. Explain how the Infrastructure project will helpmeet the economic development goals of your community and/or region. If this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place? This infrastructure project will help to meet the economic development goals of the City by both retaining existing jobs and promoting the development of new jobs. If the project is not completed, it is possible that the existing businesses may seek to relocate elsewhere so that they will have access to sanitary sewer services, rather than being forced to store and pump their own wastewater. Additionally, the City has been approached by several new businesses seeking to locate in Kittitas. Each time the businesses learn that there are no sewer facilities, they choose other locations that already have sewer facilities available. The primary reason for this is the high cost to extend sewer service to this area. Completing these improvements will help to make the area more attractive to future development by lowering the cost to potential businesses to extend sewer service to this area. 9. Describe any feasibility or predevetopment studies that demonstrate the linkage between the proposed Distressed County Infrastructure improvements and the anticipated economic outcomes. Conversations between the City and the business owners in this area have identified the desire for these businesses to remain in Kittitas, their need for sewer service, and their intent to relocate if sewer service cannot be obtained. 10. Indicate if other needed Infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, power) is In place or if there is a plan for getting it In place. This area has all of the other infrastructure it needs, including water, power, roadway access, and pedestrian facilities, but it lacks the proposed sanitary sewer services. This is the final piece of infrastructure needed in order for existing and future businesses to have access to all necessary services. 11. Indicate the Estimated Plumber of 9usineese8 Created/Rete€nad by the Prolect. 5 There are five existing businesses that need these services to be established. Establishing a sewer system in this location will also encourage development of the industrially zoned land south of railroad Ave. 12. Indicated the Estimated Number of .lobs Created/Retained by the Project. 0 It has been estimated that the existing businesses employ approximately 44 people. Additional jobs will also be created by future businesses that will locate in the service area. Submit* the original application to: Kittitas County Department of Public Works 411 N.

Project description: Describe the scope of work. Indicate the major work involved, including a brief comparison of existing and proposed conditions. Commercial and residential, domestic water and sewer services are provided in the Snoqualmie Pass area by a Special Purpose District (SPD) named Snoqualmie Pass Utility District (SPUD or Utility District). Currently, the Utility District uses a two -lagoon treatment plant and land -applies treated water on a spray field owned by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Department of Ecology (ECOLOGY) and the USFS no longer support the spray field treatment of the area's wastewater as a sustainable and desirable treatment solution. The Utility District plans to construct the first phase of a new Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in 2020 on its current property and will upgrade the existing treatment facility completely by 2025 in subsequent phases. Phase 1 of the new W WTF includes constructing a Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) to treat 20,000 to 30,000 gallons per day (gpd) which is about 10% of the current plant capacity. The MBR includes an influent screen, anoxic tank with mixer, pre -aeration tank with aerators and blower equipment, a membrane tank in which two banks of membranes filter the water, followed by an ultraviolet light disinfection system, prior to being discharged to Coal Creek. The Phase 1 project also includes the development of a new well in Kittitas County. There are economic and environmental benefits of increasing water flow in Coal Creek provided the treatment of the wastewater can be done to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards. Economically, the Utility District can gain additional water rights equivalent to five times the amount of water discharged to Coal Creek using foreign water credits. The increase in domestic water rights immediately provides the necessary capacity to allow development since Snoqualmie Pass's existing water rights are very limited. In fact, the Utility District self-imposed a building water moratorium until September 2019 while they repaired water system leaks, installed new water meters with remote read out capabilities and implemented conservation measures. Increased housing development in Kittitas County increases tax base and stimulates residential and commercial vitality in this recreation and tourist -based area. Environmental benefits include reducing the amount of effluent being sprayed onto forest land and producing an effluent of sufficient quality to discharge to Coal Creek, augmenting the stream flow. The following project phases will provide the capability to store up to 13 million gallons of water to boost water flow when fish need Coal Creek to supply viable passage and spawning areas. Design and estimates are being developed by the Utility District for Phase 1 and are being incorporated in the District's Water System Plan, General Sewer Plan, and Facility Plan. The Phase I treatment facility will provide operational data to optimize the sizing of the full capacity WWTF, planned to be in service in 2025. The new facility will produce an effluent of sufficient quality to augment water flow in Coal Creek without adversely affecting the Creek's water characteristics. The existing lagoons will be repurposed; one lagoon will be used as an equalization basin prior to the MBR, and the other lagoon will act as a treated water storage reservoir to maximize stream augmentation during the spawning season, 2. Explain the specific Infrastructure issues the project addresses and how they are linked to economic development improvements. The Utility District manages and operates a two -lagoon treatment plant and spray field for land application on a portion of forest owned by USFS. ECOLOGY and USFS no longer support the spray field treatment of the area's wastewater as a sustainable and desirable treatment solution. To discharge to a nearby surface water, a higher level of treatment is required. The community's interested developers have placed pressure on the Special Purpose District (SPD) and Kittitas County to provide additional water services to support their projects in the Snoqualmie Pass area. To strategize changes that could affect water treatment, water rights, and economic development, the Snoqualmie Pass Utility District initiated development of three interrelated planning documents in April 2018: a Water System Plan, a GeneraI Sewer Plan, and a Facility Plan. The General Sewer Plan will replace the previous Snoqualmie Pass Utility District Comprehensive Sewer Plan dated June 1994 and revised August 1995. The Water System Pian will update the current Water System Plan that expires in the spring of 2020. Advancements in wastewater treatment have made discharging into rivers and creeks an environmentally sound practice provided treatment can be done to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards. Discharging the treated water from the MBR system will allow the Utility District to obtain a foreign water right credit from the clean effluent they discharge to Coal Creek. Because the Snoqualmie Pass area has reached limitations on water rights, development has stalled. Commercial and residential, domestic water and sewer services are provided in the Snoqualmie Pass area by the Utility District. The area placed a water moratorium on itself. The moratorium was lifted in September 2019 following water system leak repairs and conservation measures. To support planned developments, the Utility District has been creative and considering holistic solutions which can address both economic vitality and environmental needs. The Phase 1 project initiates best practices immediately and will provide the Utility District with the area -specific data needed to expand the WWTF in subsequent phases until 100°fo of the effluent is treated with MBR technology. Wastewater treatment improvements are being planned to be expanded as needed to meet the long- term service area needs. The Utility District anticipates the number of residences and businesses will double when current planned developments are completed. However, water right limitations are expected to be reached in 2020 unless additional water rights are obtained. The Utility District's customers include ski resorts and supporting services to travelers on Interstate 90 (I-90) such as rest areas, gas stations, hotels, stores, and restaurants. Multiple conversations with the ski resorts have already been initiated to explain the planned improvements to the water system and wastewater treatment facility. The Utility District's additional water capacity, because of the wastewater improvements, would encourage residential construction. An increase in residents during recreational and tourist seasons allows commercial enterprises to draw employees during the seasons in which they would be needed most. Increases in capacity can allow commercial operations to consider off-peak strategizing to expand operating days and evening use. Related but separate ski resort improvements are being planned to accommodate increased demand. Currently, an estimated 30,000 people travel to Snoqualmie Pass area in the winter on peak weekend days. Increased snow -making, expanding hours, adding days to the season, and expanding evening skiing, can increase the number of customers the ski resorts can serve while lessening the peak demand impact of seasonal tourism on other infrastructure systems such as transportation and parking. Expanding employee coverage over longer operating hours and on additional days will increase the number of full-time equivalent employees at the resorts and in supporting services in the Snoqualmie Pass area. 3. Project Construction: Estimated Start Date: May 2020 Estimated End Date: November 2020 Please explain phase status of the project (bid ready, design complete or preliminary design). Preliminary Design will be completed upon approval of the Facility Plan and the General Sewer Plan. The Utility District is preparing to begin construction of Phase l in May 2020. The installation of the Phase 1 W WTF MBR will be completed by November 2020. 4. Indicate If the project is consistent with the following applicable state, regional and local plans and prioritization processes: Snoqualmie Pass Sub -Area Comprehensive Plan - Master Plan - Officially Adopted November 1992. Snoqualmie Pass's Master Plan was first included in the December 2006 update to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan and is included in full as Appendix 2 of Kittitas County's Transition 2040 comprehensive plan (adopted June 2019). To comply with the GMA, this Master Plan must be consistent with the land use element and other elements in Transition 2040. Specifically, the Utility District is using the recently completed land use inventory and guidelines presented in Transition 2040, together with the development permits approved by Kittitas County, as the basis for comparing growth and forecasts for wastewater service demand in the Snoqualmie Pass service area. If dramatic revisions are made by Kittitas or King County to the SNOPPAC recommendations, the Utility District will revise and update the Master Plan accordingly. Facility Plan - The draft Plan will be forwarded to Kittitas County and Department of Commerce for review by 121112019. Snoqualmie Pass is in the process of updating its Facility Plan to comply with the GMA. To comply with the GMA, the Facility Plan must be consistent with Transition 2040. Since the Facility Plan was incomplete at the time the sewer system plan was prepared, the Utility District will use the current year and projections in Transition 2040. Specifically, the Utility District is using the recently completed land use inventory and Land use guidelines presented in Transition 2040, together with the development permits Approved by Kittitas County, as the basis for comparing growth and forecasts for wastewater service demand in the Snoqualmie Pass service area. Community Action Plan (or other community-based pian) - The Summit at Snoqualmie Master Development Plan - Officially Approved by the United States Forest Service in November 2008 Other: Snoqualmie Pass Utility District Water System Plan - Adopted May 2013. Other: Snoqualmie Pass Draft Water System Plan (2020 Update) - Will be forwarded to Kittitas County and Department of Commerce for review by 1/1012020.

Explain how this infrastructure project has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, statelfederal agencies, and with economic development organizations during planning, design, financing, construction and/or operation phases. The Utility District has been in ongoing conversations and consultation with ECOLOGY both with the Water Resources and Water Quality departments. Because the Snoqualmie Pass area spans two counties, King County and Kittitas County, the Utility District communicates with staff from both counties. The next meeting with Kittitas County is scheduled for November 6, 2019. In addition to communicating with County staff, the Utility District has reached out to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington Department of Transportation, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, and the Bureau of Reclamation. There is no organized local economic development agency in the unincorporated service area of the Utility District. Instead, the Utility District is in infrequent contact with the economic development departments of both King County and Kittitas County and in frequent contact with commercial customers such as the ski resorts. The current General Manager is making inroads into all county and state -level agencies and met with an informal technical team at the Infrastructure Assistance Coordinating Council (IACC) conference in Wenatchee in October 2019. The team consisted of: Mr. Hastings, one representative from HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc., two representatives from Department of Health, one representative from ECOLOGY, and one representative from United States Department of Agriculture. During the team meeting, the Utility District was able to provide the concept of the Phase 1 project and receive comments and recommendations from the agencies present. 6. Explain how the infrastructure project will help meet the economic development goals of your community and/or region. If this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place? The current water system capacity is nearly exhausted and in 2018 the Utility District self-imposed a water moratorium due to water right limitations. After the Utility District was able to implement several conservation improvements, the moratorium was lifted in September 2019, making 100 ERU connections available for sale. Kittitas County has approved three developments totaling over 590 residences. The 100 additional ERUs are expected to be exhausted in 2020 and will not provide guaranteed service to the current planned developments in this unincorporated area. Though the service area spans two counties, all growth is confined to areas solely in Kittitas County at this time. Phase 1 treats wastewater to standards adequate to allow the effluent from the wastewater treatment plant to be discharged to Coal Creek. When fully constructed, in subsequent phases, the W WTF will eliminate the use of the spray field located on forest service land. The water being discharged to Coal Creek allows the Utility District to gain foreign water right credits adequate to support their service area development through full buildout. Phase 1 is anticipated to allow an additional 1,000 ERUs to the system. The Utility District conservatively estimates that commercial demand will consume six to seven ERUs for every 100 residential connections. The construction of Phase 1 effectively doubles the domestic water capacity of the Utility District and will allow expansion of existing economic operations, promote continued residential development, and encourage new commercial development to provide services supporting an invigorated and growing community. Water demand increases, based on conversations with the ski resorts, over the next 5 to 7 years will likely be 40% - 50% above current levels with a minimum of 30% of the increase dedicated to snowmaking. 11 If the project is not accomplished, the moratoriums will likely continue. Currently, the water capacity issues call for a 6 -month review cycle to determine available ERUs and whether another moratorium is necessary, halting all future development. 7. Describe any feasibility or predevelopment studies that demonstrate the linkage between the proposed Distressed County Infrastructure improvements and the anticipated economic outcomes. The Utility District's substantially drafted Facility Plan (due by 12/112019) identifies Phase 1 specifically as the top priority project. An engineer's estimate and design sketches have been developed to completely discuss the concept and feasibility of constructing the MBR system. Phase I represents the alternative treatment of 10% of the Utility District's wastewater. Data collection received during implementation of Phase 1 will allow the Utility District to fine-tune the implementation of the MBR system for 100% of the WWTF effluent. Even with successful treatment applied to only 10% of the wastewater, the resulting credits to the Utility District immediately allow an additional 1,000 ERUs for development in the service area. The recognition of economic opportunity is immediate and directly connected to the project. 8. Indicate if other needed infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, power) is in place or N there is a plan for getting it in place. Replacing the WWTF with the MBR system provides the required sewer and water capacity to support the planned developments in the area. Without the proposed improvements, new construction will be limited, and growth will be stagnant. Discussions for power to the WWTF for Phase 1 has already begun. As the credits are made available, the ongoing discussions between the utility providers and Kittitas County planning and permitting staff will need to increase. 9. Indicate the Estimated Number of Businesses Created/Retained by the project. Phase 1 is estimated to allow an additional 1,000 ERUs to be sold through the Utility District. The Utility District conservatively estimates that commercial demand will consume six to seven connections for every 100 residential connections, and currently approximately 700 residential connections are platted. Estimation for future need is based on current residential/commercial mix of customers in the service area. The construction of Phase 1 effectively doubles the domestic water capacity of the Utility District, will promote continued residential development, allow expansion of existing commercial operations, and encourage new commercial development. The increase in ERUs provides the Utility District the opportunity to meet the residential demand already promised by Kittitas County during approvals for development planning. Water will not be the Iimiting factor when issuing building permits and the full pre -planning process can work more smoothly for Kittitas County because of the increase in water rights in this area of the unincorporated county. Additional connections can be a combination of single family and multi -family configurations. Short-term employment will be increased due to construction of residences. Additionally, an increase in the population of the Snoqualmie Pass area will spur additional jobs to service the increase in residents. The Utility District's General Manager has been involved in multiple discussions with different ski resorts in the service area. The Summit at Snoqualmie Master Plan (Summit Master Plan) identifies the improvements and enhancements being planned for each of the ski areas. This project allows the ski resorts to grow at their desired pace without fear of water moratoriums causing development or expansion stagnation. 12 During Ski Season For example, one improvement called for in the Summit Master Plan involves replacing two -seat ski lifts with four -seat ski lifts. The improvement increases the number of people being moved throughout the area and allows for efficient movement of the more than 1.2 million visitors per season. Hospitality jobs will increase to meet the demands of the rise in number of visitors. Lighting the slopes will lengthen the time the ski resorts can operate, resulting in an increase of Full- time Equivalents (FTEs). Phase 1 will sustain increased services at the resorts for many occupations such as food service -related employees, customer service employees like those who assist with equipment rentals, ski instructors, and operator and maintenance -related employees. Additional water capacity will allow the ski resorts to increase their snow -making operations and extend days of the ski season to bring a new level of predictability and reliability to the ski area. Stabilization of the ski environment can cut down loss of employees' hours due to fluctuations of precipitation throughout the ski season. The amount and quality of snow (snow conditions) contributes directly to the desirability of outdoor snow activities such as skiing, snow shoeing, and sledding. Each of these types of activities have employees supporting the outdoor snow experience. Increasing number of days increases FTEs. The ripple effect for support services which cater to the travelling public on 1-90 are anticipated to effect employee hours at locations such as restaurants and gas stations in the immediate area and will likely increase business and the demand for lodging in nearby communities. Off -Season The Summit at Snoqualmie Master Plan (Summit Master Plan) identifies the improvements and enhancements being planned for implementation throughout the year. This project allows the ski resorts to grow off-season operations without fear of water moratoriums causing development or expansion stagnation. Hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities are being actively developed by the resorts. The Utility District's project is needed to support the additional demands on the wastewater and domestic water systems. Phase 1 provides for the increase in water rights necessary to sustain the area's year-round aspirations. The FTEs to cover the non -winter season operations will be in addition to the customary winter -time staffs at the resorts. New support businesses will be required to provide non -winter equipment and lessons for outdoor activities other than snow -related. With entertainment available throughout the year, and the proximity to the Seattle job market, residents may move their primary residence to this more robust community increasing the full-time residential use and employment in the Utility District's service area. 10. Indicate the Estimated Number of Short Term and/or Permanent Jobs CreatedlRetained by the Project. Short-term and long-term employment created or retained by the Utility District's Phase I project has been explored qualitatively in the previous section. The water moratorium squelched economic opportunity for steady and sustainable growth in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The water moratorium has been lifted and through conservation efforts and repairs to address leaking infrastructure, the Utility District was able to offer 100 ERUs to businesses and residents for development. Phase 1 of constructing a new WWTF provides capacity for 1,000 ERUs immediately. When future phases are completed, the water right credits the Utility District will receive provide capacity for up to 3,000 additional ERUs. 13 Existing commercial operations such as the ski resorts will use the additional water capacity to add hours to their ski -related operating time in the form of night skiing, add days to their operating season by increasing their snow -making operations, and add year-round operations to their facilities adding diversity and the need for more FTEs. Kittitas County has approved developments that are independent of the limited capacity of the Utility District's domestic water and wastewater systems. Phase I constructs an innovative MBR treatment system which can produce effluent of high quality that can be discharged to Coal Creek. Coal Creek benefits from augmented creek flow enhancing the aquatic systems, including flora and fauna. Phase 1 benefits the Utility District and Kittitas County by increasing the water rights obtained through the direct discharge to Coal Creek. The needed water and wastewater capacities allow the planned developments to move forward in a sustainable manner. The new construction sparks short-term construction jobs. The average home in Snoqualmie Pass requires three seasons to complete. Approximately 1,000 new ERUs will be available for connections to development immediately. The commercial vs. residential mix of ERU consumption has historically been about 7 commercial connections for every 100 residents. The usual support businesses of services for residential will be supplemented with new business types to cater to year-round outdoor activities.

Project Description; Describe the scope of work. Indicate the major work involved. Inc€ceding a brief rompprlson of existina end oronosed conditions. This project will construct an 64nch gravity sewer main, grinder pump station, 1.6 -Inch sewer force main and a 4 - inch force main to provide sanitary service to businesses south of Railroad Avenue and to support future develop- ment. The lift station will be constructed at the south and of the project and pump wastewater north in the 1.5 -Inch force main to Railroad Avenue, Into the City's existing sewer system. The 44nch force maim will not be active at the conclusion of construction; it would be installed to encourage future commercial / industrial development on unde- veloped lands south of the project area. The City applied for and received a COG grant in 2010 to support design and construction of sewer Improvements In the project area. Through completing designs, it was seamed that addl- tional funds are needed fior construction. Construction dewatering will be more extensive than what was originally budgeted for due to the high groundwater table in the area. Native soils will be saturated and not suitable for bermil so greater quantities of bank run gravel for trench backfill will be needed than was originally planned for. It was also learned that a cultural resources survey will be needed, adding additional costs to the project. 2. Explain the specific Infrastructure Issues the project addresser► and how they are linked to economic development Improvements. Some existing businesses In tate project area must stare their waste In holding tanks and then have it pumped Into trucks for transport to the City wastewater treatment plant. This process is costly and Inconvenient. Some businesses have expressed concems to the City regarding the costs and hassle of having to deal with sewage storage and disposal, and this project will help ensure these businesses remain comm tted to staying In the corrununityr. Existing business provide approodmately 40 jobs in the area. Estabilehing a sanitary sewer system in the area will also promote the development of other businesses along Main Street south of Railroad Avenue, Including the planned industrial area. This area is regionally Important due to the lack of Industrial zoned land available In the County. 3. Preliminary Engineeffng Phase; E-sttmated StertDate: Jan. 2020 EatimeW End Date: Apr. 2020 Please explain phase status (work already completed, In progress, awaiting funding, etc., and factors that may slow phase program). Preliminary construction plans, speclftcatlons and a cost estimate have been prepared for the project, using 2016 COG funds and City funds. The improvements shown along Main Street on the current plans extend to approx€- mately SW feet south of the intersection of Railroad Avenue.The City recently completed a Wastewater Collection System Planning report. The report determined that long term development of tete Industrial area will require sub- stantial Infrastructure improvement to adequately build out the entire area, which would otherwise delay the earn-- pletion of this project to serve existing businesses. The intent of the project is to provide Immediate sanitary sewer services to existing users, and to encourage future development In the immediate vicinity and In areas to the south towards the Interstate. 4.

The City had worked for more than seven years and spent more than $80,000.00 in legal and adminisMIve fees to expand Its southeast UGA. During this process, the City worked with Kittitas County, the Kidbs County Chamber of Commerce. Conference of Government, and the Department of Commerce to identify the adopted UGA. As the recipient of a 2014 COG grant, the City completed a Wastewater Collection System Planning Report to plan the sewer needs for the UGA area to enable economic development In the South Kms area. This application is meant to be another "leg of that prooess" for the purposes of providing City sower servioes to existing businesses south of Railroad Av- enue. The businesses in this area provide a sli I n al number of jobs. and sales tax revenue to the City and have expressed significant interest in remaining at #Wr current Iocatlons, dependent upon the City's implementation of delivering sewer service. Providing sewer service will also aid the City with compliance with the Department of Ecology for Industrial businesses In these locations. The City wid work with the Department of Ecology and the Department of Health In the planning and construction of the sewer improvements. S. Explain horn the IMrastrurture project vrtll help meet the economic development goats of your community andlor region. If this project k not done, will the anticipated private development still take place? This infrastructure project will help to meet the economic development goals of the City by both retaining existing jobs and promoting the development of new jobs. If the project is not completed, It is possible that the existing businesses may seek to relocate elsewhere so that they will have access to sanitary sewer services, rather than being forded to store and pump their awn wastewater. Addldonally, the City has been approached by several new businesses seeking to locate in KMtas. Each time the businesses learn that there are no sewer facilities, they choose other locations that already have sewer facilities available. The primary reason for this Is the high cost to extend sewer service to this area. Completing these Improvements will help to make the area more attractive to future development by lowering the cost to potential businesses to extend sewer service io this area. 8. Describe any feasibility or predevelopment study that demonstrate the linkage between the proposed Distressed County Infrastructure improvements and the anticipated economic outcomes. Conversations between the City and the business owners in this area have identified the desire for these businesses to remain In KRMs, their need for sewer service, and their intent to relocate If sewer service cannot be obtained. 90. Indicate H other needed Infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, power) is In place or if there Is a plan for getting It In place. This area has all of the other Infras4vcture it needs, Including water, power, roadway access. And pedestrian facilites, but It lacks the proposed sanitary sewer services.

Cormmemial and residential, domestic water and sewer services are provided in the Snoqualmie Pass area by a Special Purpose District (SPD) named Snoqualmle Pass Utility District (SPUD or Utility District). Currently, the Utility District uses a two -lagoon treatment plant and land -applies treated water on a spray field owned by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Department of Ecology (ECOLOGY) and the USFS no longer support the spray field treatment of the area's wastewater as a sustainable and desirable tmatment solution. The Utility District plans to construct the first phase of a new Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in 2020 on its current property and will upgrade the existing treatment facility completely by 2025 in subsequent phases. Phase 1 of the new W WTF includes constructing a Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) to treat 20,000 to 30,000 gallons per day (gpd) which is about 10% of the current plant capacity. The MBR includes an influent screen, anoxic tank with mixer, pre -aeration tonic with aerators and blower equipment, a membrane tank in which two banks of membranes filter the water, followed by an ultraviolet light disinfection system, prior to being discharged to Coal Creek. The Phasc I project also includes the development of a new well in Kittitas County. There are economic and environmental benefits of increasing water flow in Coal Creek provided the treatment of the wastewater can be done to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards. Economically, the Utility District can gain additional water rights equivalent to five times the amount of water discharged to Coal Creek using foreign water credits. The increase in domestic water rights immediately provides the necessary capacity to allow development since Snoqualmie Pass's existing water rights are very limited. In fact, the Utility District self-imposed a building water moratorium until September 2019 while they repaired water system leaks, installed now water meters with remote read out capabilities and implemented conservation measures. Increased housing development in Kittitas County increases tax base and stimulates residential and commercial vitality in this recreation and tourist -based. area. Environmental benefits include reducing the amount of effluent being sprayed onto forest land and producing an effluent of sufficient quality to discharge to Coal Creek, augmenting the stream flow. The following project phases will provide the capability to store up to 13 million gallons of water to boost water flow when fish need Coal Creek to supply viable passage and spawning areas. Design and estimates are being developed by the Utility District for Phase 1 and are being incorporated in the District's Water System Plan, General Sewer Plan, and Facility Plan. The Phase I treatment facility will provide operational data to optimize the sizing of the full capacity WWTF, planned to be in service in 2025. The new facility will produce an effluent of sufficient quality to augment water flow in Coal Creek without adversely affecting the Creek's water characteristics. The existing lagoons will be repurposed; one lagoon will be used as an equalization basin prior to the MBR, and the other lagoon will act as a treated water storage reservoir to maximize stream augmentation during the spawning season. 2. Explain the specific Inframbucture Issues the project addresses and how they are linked to economic development improvements, The Utility District manages and operates a two -lagoon treatment plant and spray field for land application on a portion of forest owned by USPS. ECOLOGY and USFS no longer support the spray field treatment of the area's wastewater as a sustainable and desirable treatment solution. To discharge to a nearby surface water, a higher level of treatment is required. The community's interested developers have placed pressure on the Special Purpose District (SPD) and Kittitas County to provide additional water services to support their projects in the Snoqualmie Pass ansa. To strategize changes that could affect water treatment, water rights, and economic development, the Snoqualmic Pass Utility District initiated development of three interrelated planning documents in April 241 S. a Water System Plan, a General Sewer Plan, and a Facility Plan. The General Sewer Plan will replace the previous Shoqualmie Pass Utility District Comprehensive Sewer Plan dated June 1994 and revised August 1995. The Water System Plan will update the current Water System Plan that expires in the spring of 2020. Advancernents in wastewater treatment have made discharging into rivers and creeks an environmentally sound practice provided treatment can be done to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards. Discharging the treated water from the MBR system will allow the Utility District to obtain a foreign water right credit from the clean effluent they discharge to Coal Creek. Because the Snoqualmie Pass area has reached limitations on water rights, development has stalled. Commercial and residential, domestic water and sewer services are provided in the Snoqualmie Pass area by the Utility District. The area placed a water moratorium on itself. The moratorium was lifted in September 2019 following water system leak repairs and conservation measures. To support planned developments, the Utility District has been creative and considering holistic solutions which can address both economic vitality and environmental needs. The phase i project initiates best practices immediately and will provide the Utility District with the area -specific data needed to expand the WWTF in subsequent phases until 100% of the eilrluent is treated with MBR technology. Wastewater treatment improvements are being planned to be expanded as needed to meet the long term service area needs. The Utility District anticipates the number of residences and businesses will double when current planned developments are completed. However, water right limitations are expected to be reached in 2020 unless additional water rights are obtained. The Utility District's customers include ski resorts and supporting services to travelers on Interstate 90 (I-90) such as rest areas, gas stations, hotels, stores, and restaurants. Multiple conversations with the ski resorts have already been initiated to explain the Planned improvements to the water system and wastewater treatment facility. The Utility District's additional water capacity, because of the wastewater improvements, would encourage residential construction. An increase in residents during recreational and tourist seasons allows commercial wMiprises to draw employees during the seasons in which they would be needed most. Increases in capacity can allow commercial operations to consider off-peak strategizing to expand operating days and evening use. Related but separate ski resort improvements are being planned to accommodate increased demand. Currently, an estimated 30,000 people travel to Snoqualmie Pass area in the winter on peak weekend days. Increased snow -making, expanding hours, adding days to the season, and expanding evening skiing, can increase the number of customers the ski resorts can serve while lessening the peak demand impact of seasonal tourism on other infrastructure systems such as transportation and parking. Expanding employee coverage over longer operating hours and on additional days will increase the number of full-time equivalent employees at the resorts and in supporting services in the Snoqualmie Pass area. 3. Project Construction: Estimated Start Data: May 2020 Estimated End Data: November 2020 Planes explain phase status of the project (bid ready, design c:omplets or preliminary design). Preliminary Design will be completed upon approval of the Facility Plan and the General Sewer Plan. The Utility District is preparing to begin construction of Phase 1 in May 2020. The installation of the Phase 1 WWTF MSR will be completed by November 2020. Indicate If the project Is consistent with the following applicable atom, regional end local plans and prioritization processes: Snoqualmle Pass Sub Jonas Comprehensive Plan — Master Plan — Otllclally Adopted November 1992. Snoqualmie Pass's Master Plan was first included in the December 2001; update to the Kittitas County Comprehensive Flan and is included in full as Appendix 2 of Kittitas County's fr widon 2040 comprehensive plan (adopted June 2019). To comply with the GMA, this Master Plan must be consistent with the land use Element and other elements in Rawifiorr 2040. Specifically, the Utility District is using the recently completed Iand use inventory and guidelines presented in Pawitiorr 2040, together with the development permits approved by Kinites County, as the basis fbr comparing growth and fiorecum for wastewater service demand in the Snoqualmie Pass service area. If dramatic revisions are made by Kittitas or King County to the SNOPPAC recommendations, the Utility District will revise and update the Master Plan accordingly. Facility Plan —The draft Plan will be 1brwarded to Klltltas County and Department of Commerce for review by 12!1!201!. Snoqualmie Pass is in the process of updating its Facility Plan to comply with the GMA. To comply with the GMA, the Facility Plan must be consistent with Trarrssdan 2040. Since the Facility Plan was incomplete at the time the sewer system plan was fid, the Utility District will use the current year and projections in T) mskim 2040. Specifically, the Utility District is using the recently completed land use inventory and Land use guidelines presented in Tnmr ton 2040, tom with the development permits Approved by Kittites County, as the basis for comparing growth and forecasts for wastewater service demand in the Snogtlalmie Pass service area Community Action Plan (or other communion -based pian) — The Summit at Snoqualmle Master Development Plan - Officially Approved by the United States Forest Service In November 2008 Other: Snoqualmie Pass Utility District Water System Plan — Adopted May 2018. Other: Snoqualmle Pose Draft Water System Plan (2020 Update) - Will be forwarded to Kittites County and Department of Commerce for review by IM012020. Other: Snoqualmle Pass Draft General Sewer Plan (2019) - Will be forwarded to Kkdtas County and Department of Commerce for review by 12!1/2014. 10 1. Explain how this infrastructure project has been coordinated, or will be coordinated with other Jurlsdictions. such as counties, cities, statelfederal agencies, and with economic development organizations during planning, design, financing, construction andlor operation pheees. The Utility District has been in ongoing conversations and consultation with ECOLOGY both with the Water Resources and Water Quality departments. Because the Snoqualmie Pass area spans two counties, King County and Kittitas County, the Utility District communicates with staff from both counties. The next meeting with Kittitas County is scheduled for November 6, 2019. In addition to communicating with County staff', dee Utility District has reached out to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington Department of Transportation, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of tate Yakama Nation, and the Bureau of Reclamation. There is no organized local econamic development agency in the unincorporated service area of the Utility District. Instead, the Utility District is in infrequent contact with the economic development departments of both King County and Kittitas Comity and in firquent contact with commercial customers such as the ski resorts. The current General Manager is making inroads into all county and state -level agencies and met with an informal technical team at the Infrastructure Assistance Coordinating Council (IACC) conference in Wenatchee in October 2019. The team consisted of; Mr. Hastings, one representative Brom HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc., two representatives from Department of Health, one representative from ECOLOGY, and one representative from United States Department of Agriculture. During the team meeting, the Utility District was able to provide the concept of the Phase 1 project and receive comments and recommendations from the agencies present. 6. Explain crow the Infrastructure project will helpmeet the economic dwek*nwd goals of your community endlor region. If this project is not done, will the entlelpated Pdvete developrrrerrt still take place? The current water system capacity is nearly exhausted and in 2018 the Utility District self-imposed a wafter moratorium due to water right limitations. After the Utility District was able to implement several conservation improvements, the moratorium was lifted in September 2019, making 100 ERU connections available for sale. Kittitas County has approved three developments totaling over 590 residences. The 100 additional ERUs are expected to be exhausted in 2020 and will not provide guaranteed service to the current planned developments in this unincorporated area. Though the service area spans two counties, all growth is confined to areas solely in Kittitas County at this time. Phase I treats wastewater to standards adequate to allow the effluent from the wastewater treatment plant to be discharged to Coal Creek. When fully constructed, in subsequent phases, the WWTF will eliminate the use of the spray field located on forest service land. The water being discharged to Coal Creek allows the Utility District to On foreign water right credits adequate to support their service area development through full buildout. Phase 1 is anticipated to allow an additional 1,000 ERUs to the system. The Utility District conservatively estimates that commercial demand will consume six to seven ERU9 for every 100 residential connecfons. The construction of Phase 1 effectively doubles the domestic water capacity of the Utility District and will allow expansion of existing economic operations, promote continued residential development, and encourage new commercial development to provide services supporting an invigorated and growing community. Water demand increases, based on conversations with the ski resorts, over the next 5 to 7 years will likely be 40% - 50°% above current levels with a minimum of 30% of the increase dedicated to snowmaking. Il If the project is not accomplished, the moratoriums will likely continue. Currently, the water capacity issues call for a 6 -month review cycle to determine available ERUs and whether another moratorium is necessary, halting all future development. 7. Describe any feasibility or predevelopment studies that demonstrate the linkage between the proposed Distressed County Infrastructure improvements and the andtlpated economic outcomes. The Utility District's substantially drafted Facility Plan (due by 12/U2019) identifies Phase 1 specifically as the top priority project. An engineer's estimate and design sketches have been developed to completely discuss the concept and feasibility of constructing the MBR system. Phase 1 represents the alternative treatment of 10% of the Utility District's wastewater. Data collection received during implementation of Phase 1 will allow the Utility District to fine-tune the implementation of the MBR system for 1 t10OA of the W WTF effluent. Even with successful treatment applied to only 10% of the wastewater, the resulting credits to the Utility District immediately allow an additional 1,000 ERUs for development in the service area. The recognition of economic opportunity is immediate and directly connected to the project. B. lndirsft If other needed infrastructure (e.g., sewer, grater, power) is In place or If there Is a pian for getting It in place. Replacing the WWTF with the MBR system provides the required sewer and water capacity to support the planned developments in the area. Without the proposed improvements, new construction will be limited, and growth will be stagnant. Discussions for power to the W WTF for Phase 1 has already begun. As the credits are made available, the ongoing discussions between the utility providers and Kittitas County planning and permitting staff will need to increase. 9. indicans the Estimated Number of Businesses Createdlletained by the Project. Phase 1 is estimated to allow an additional 1,000 ERUs to be sold through the Utility District. The Utility District conservatively estimates that commercial demand will consume six to seven connections for every 100 residential connections, and currently approximately 700 residential connections are platted. Estimation for future need is based on current residential/commercial mix of customers in the service area. The construction of Phase 1 effectively doubles the domestic water capacity of the Utility District, will promote continued residential development, allow expansion of existing commercial operations, and encourage new commercial development. The increase in ERUs provides the Utility District the opportunity to meet the residential demand already promised by Kittites County during approvals for development planning. Water will not be the limiting factor when issuing building permits and the full pre -planning process can want more smoothly for Kittkas County because of the increase in water rights in this area of the unincorporated county. Additional connections can be a combination of single family and multi -family configurations. Short-term employment will be increased due to construction of residences. Additionally, an increase in the population of the Snoqualmie Pass area will spur additional jobs to service the increase in residents. The Utility District's General Manager has been involved in multiple discussions with different ski resorts in the service area. The Summit at Snoqualmie Master PIan (Summit Master Plan) identifies the improvements and enhancements being plumed for each of the ski areas. This project allows the ski resorts to grow at their desired pace without fear of water moratoriums causing development or expansion stagnation. 12 Durb g Ski Season For example, one improvement called for in the Summit Master Plan involves replacing two-seat ski lifts with four-seat ski lifts. The improvement increases the number of people being moved throughout the area and allows for efficient movement of the more than 1.2 million visitors per season. Hospitality jobs will increase to meet the demands of the rise in number of visitors. Lighting the slopes will lengthen the time the ski resorts can operate, resulting in an increase of Full- time Equivalents (FTEs). Phase I will sustain increased services at the resorts for many occupations such as food service-related employees, customer service employees like those who assist with equipment rentals, ski instructors, and operator and maintenance-related employees. Additional water capacity will allow the ski resorts to increase their snow-making operations and extend days of the ski season to bring a new level of predictability and reliability to the ski area. Stabilization of the ski environment can out clown loss of employees' hours due to fluctuations of precipitation throughout the ski season_ The amount and quality of snow (snow conditions) contributes directly to the desirability of outdoor snow activities such as skiing, snow shoeing, and sledding. Each of these types of activities have employees supporting the outdoor snow experience. Increasing number of days increases FTEs. The ripple effect for support services which cater to the travelling public on I-40 are anticipated to effect employee hours at locations such as restaurants and gas stations in the immediate area and will likely increase business and the demand for lodging in nearby communities. Off-season The Summit at Snoqualmie Master Plan (Summit Master Plan) identifies the improvements and enhancements being planned for implementation throughout the year. This project allows the ski resorts to grow off-season operations without fear of water moratoriums causing development or expansion stagnation. Hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities are being actively developed by the resorts. The Utility District's project is needed to support the additional demands on the wastewater and domestic water systems. Phase l provides for the increase in water rights necessary to sustain the area's year-round aspirations. The FTEs to cover the non-winter season operations will be in addition to the customary winter-time staffs at the resorts. New support businesses will be required to provide non-winter equipment and lessons for outdoor activities other than snow-related. With entertainment available throughout the year, and the proximity to the Seattle job market, residents may move their primary residence to this mare robust community increasing the full-time residential use and employment in the Utility District's service area. 10. Indicate the Estinrat d Number of Short Tenn and/or Permanent Jogs Cnwtad/Retaln&d by the Prgect. Short-term and long-term employment created or retained by the Utility District's Phase I project has been explored qualitatively in the previous section. The water moratorium squelched economic opportunity for steady and sustainable growth in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The water moratorium has been lifted and through conservation efforts and repairs to address leaking infrastructure, the Utility District was able to offer 100 ERUs to businesses and residents for development. Phase l of constructing a new WWTF provides capacity for 1,000 ERUs immediately. When future phases are completed, the water right credits the Utility District will receive provide capacity for up to 3,000 additional ERUs. 13 Existing commercial operations such as the ski resorts will use the additional water capacity to add lours to their dd-mkftd opera time in the form of night slding, add days to their operating season by increasing their snow-maldng operations, and add year-round operations to their facilities adding diversity and the need for more FTEs. Kittitas Ca mty has approved developments that are independent of the limited cap aty of the Utility District's domestic weber and wastewater systems. Phase 1 conxuucts an innovative MBR treatment system which can produce a filum of high quality that can be discharged to Coal Creek. Coal Creek benefits flom augmented creek flow enhancing the aquatic systems, including tiara and fauna. Phase 1 benefits the Utility District and Kittitas County by increasing the water rights obtained throw the direct disclzge to Coal Cr=L The needed water and wastewater capacities allow the planned developments to move forward in a sustainable manner. The new construction sparks shat term mon jobs. The average hme m Snoqualmie Pass requires three seasons to complete. Approximately 1,000 new ERUs will be available for conncctiams to development intnedh tely. The conmwcial vs. residential mix of ERU consumption. has historically been about 7 commercial connections for every 100 rewdaft. The usual support busies of services for residential will be sttpplameated with new business types to tatter to year-round oatdoor activities.
