The Brightwater Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Final Supplemental EIS)

In November 2003, King County issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the proposed Brightwater Regional Wastewater Treatment System. Since that time, new information about the Southern Whidbey Island Fault has become available.

A draft Supplement to the Brightwater EIS, issued on April 11, 2005, describes the new information and its relationship to the Brightwater Treatment Plant site and evaluates the significant adverse environmental impacts that could result if an earthquake were to occur on the Southern Whidbey Island Fault and damage treatment plant facilities.

The comment period for the Draft Supplemental EIS closed on May 11, 2005. The Final Supplemental EIS, issued July 19, 2005, includes comments received and responses to these comments.
