FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







Resolution #28: West Point Sewage Treatment Plant


The King County Metro Sewage Treatment plant on the beautiful Puget Sound shoreline at West Point in Seattle is eight football fields in length along the shore.  A proposal has been made to increase the size of the plant to accommodate more growth in and North of Seattle.  A legal settlement for the West Point plant in the early 1990's mandated that no additional pollution should be added to the waste stream entering Puget Sound from the West Point plant.
For that reason, and because conveyance problems and considerations make it unreasonable and expensive to transport sewage long distances to treatment facilities, the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs opposes enlargement of the West Point Treatment plant and urges the use of the remaining land for recreation for the people of the region.

ACTION: Write to the Metropolitan King County Council, 1200 King County Courthouse, 516 - 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98103-2312.
