Amount Requested: $2,800,000
The City of Granite Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project will improve water quality in the Pilchuck River and to serve the City through 2038. The proposed project will construct the recommended WWTP improvements to provide wastewater treatment and disposal for the service area. This wastewater project is essential to improving and protecting the future health of the river and the Snohomish Watershed. It is imperative to support the recovery of threatened cold-water fish species that spawn, rear, or live there. Chinook, coho, sockeye, chum, pink salmon, bull trout, and steelhead trout call the Pilchuck River home. Many of our State’s residents greatly value these fish species and depend on them for cultural, recreational, or economic reasons. Due to a recent uptick in population, the City has a sewer moratorium in place preventing further new housing construction. This project would allow for new housing.
Federal Nexus: The project has a Federal nexus because the funding provided is for purposes authorized by Title VI of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C 1381 et seq.
