Want an update on what the Murray combined-sewer-overflow (CSO) control facility is going to look like when it’s built across from Lowman Beach Park, starting in about 2 years? Your next chance is Tuesday (December 13), 6:30 pm, The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 Fauntleroy Way SW), as the project’s volunteer Design Advisory Group meets, public welcome. More details ahead, from the county’s announcement:

King County is beginning design of the Murray CSO Control Facility near Lowman Beach Park to protect public health and clean up Puget Sound. The county is working with the DAG and the community to design a facility that reflects the community’s values and character, and can become a neighborhood asset.

The DAG will provide input and advice regarding proposed site layout, facility layout, post-construction site use, landscaping and aesthetics to share with the broader public and WTD. The group will review technical analyses in order to understand proposed layouts, and provide input about design options to inform the County’s decision-making. The DAG acts as a sounding board for the project technical team, and a project liaison to the public, helping ensure the County project team receives a broad community perspective.

Topics for the December 13 DAG meeting include:

· Working with the Seattle Department of Transportation on design elements
· Site geotechnical conditions
· Odor control needs and potential locations
· Electrical equipment needs and potential locations

More information about the project’s geotechnical, odor control and electrical considerations will be available later this week.

For more information please contact Doug Marsano at 206-684-1235 or via email at doug.marsano@kingcounty.gov.

(We’re checking to see if “later this week” really means “next week,” or perhaps “today.”)
