It’s a project without a pithy name; the shortest we can ever come up with is: The Combined Sewer Overflow control proposals for the Barton (Fauntleroy) and Murray (Lowman Beach) pump stations. Whatever you want to call it, there’s an update tonight. Got word from King County Wastewater Treatment Division community-relations rep Martha Tuttle that they have lifted the deadline for comments on the proposed alternatives in each area – after extending it three times, they’re just going open-ended:
We have decided to extend the comment period on the CSO Beach Projects. Right now there is NO deadline. We want to encourage comments and questions and give adequate time for community members to respond. May 14 is not a deadline anymore.
This follows three meetings overflowing with community concern about the proposals – most of which involve digging up roads, residential sites and/or parkland to store wastewater to avoid overflows — most recently the Morgan Community Association meeting two weeks ago (WSB coverage here). Other developments since that meeting have included the county saying it’ll have another public meeting after all, and community members planning their own “Save Lowman Beach Park” meeting for next Monday.
