Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Outstanding Performance Award Details: In 2015, City staff was successful in operating the WWTP within full compliance of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES) issued by the Department of Ecology. As a result of the WWTP's dedicated staff and hard work in achieving full permit compliance, the City is a recipient of Ecology's WWTP Outstanding Performance award for 2015. To receive the award, the treatment plant passed all environmental tests, analyzed all samples, turned in all state-required reports and avoided permit violations during 2015. Only roughly one-third of the treatment plants in the State receive the award each year. This is the first year since 2007 that the City has received the Compliance Award. A representative from the Department of Ecology was at the meeting to present the award to the City. Presenter: Steve Wall, Public Works Director
