GENERAL INFORMATION Project Title: Total Cost: Total Eligible Cost: Ecology Share: Recipient Share: The Effective Date of this Agreement is: The Expiration Date of this Agreement is no later than: Project Type: Project Short Description: This project improves water quality in the Columbia River through the construction of wastewater treatment facilities at the Pasco municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the City of Pasco. Benefits include, replacing aging infrastructure, improved plant performance, increased capacity, higher efficiency resulting in energy savings, and an increased outfall sized to accommodate future growth. Project Long Description: This project improves water quality in the Columbia River through the construction of wastewater treatment facilities at the Pasco municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the City of Pasco.

Phase 2A includes upgrades to the thickening and dewatering system, and the UV system. These systems have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced to improve treatment, energy efficiency and improve the plants long term reliability . Phase 2B is the replacement of the in- water portion of the outfall. Based on the rate of growth, replacing the undersized outfall piping and multiport diffuser is necessary for the City of Pasco to accommodate the expected increase in flows . Restoration of permanent riparian buffer will be performed along the banks of the Columbia River within the project footprint. Additionally, measures will be taken to minimize impacts of the new outfall installation, including installing a layer of fish mix gravel on top of the in-water portions of the trench to increase ecological recovery of the riverbed post-construction. The existing outfall, including rip-rap armor rock cover and diffuser will be removed rather than being abandoned in place, and the disturbed areas will be covered with fish mix gravel. This will allow for the permanent ecological recovery the of the area impacted by the original outfall. Overall Goal: To improve water quality in the Columbia River through the construction of improvements to the City of Pasco 's municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility. The project will replace components of the plant that have exceeded their useful life and expand the facility to meet the projected demand for forecasted population growth.
