NW Birch Place Water Quality Retrofit Project Contract Amendment No. 2
AB 8971
In 2021 and 2022, the City applied for and was awarded three grants from the Washington State Department of Ecology in the amount of $415,500 to design and construct water quality treatment at three locations within the Olde Town neighborhood. The three locations were initially selected because they represent the largest areas of pollution generating impervious surface area (streets and parking lots) within the Olde Town neighborhood that outfall to Issaquah Creek without water quality treatment. Installing water quality treatment at these locations is vital for salmon recovery, restoration of the watershed, and improving the ecological function of Issaquah Creek. This work supports the City in meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements to treat stormwater outfalls.
