Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the executive to enter into an agreement with the Lake Forest Park Water District regarding mitigation for the Brightwater project.
Body
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  Findings:
      A.  In November 2003, King County issued its Final Environmental Impact Statement ("FEIS") regarding the Brightwater regional wastewater treatment system, and, in December 2003, the King County executive selected the Route 9 - 195th Street system as the system alternative that would be advanced for final design, permitting and construction.
      B.  The selected Brightwater regional wastewater treatment system includes the construction of a new regional treatment plant in unincorporated Snohomish county, deep tunnel conveyance facilities through several jurisdictions, a marine outfall in unincorporated Snohomish county and five primary portal sites in the cities of Bothell, Kenmore and Shoreline and unincorporated Snohomish county.
      C.  King County has been working with all host jurisdictions and agencies to agree upon appropriate mitigation associated with the Brightwater facilities.  The Lake Forest Park Water District and King County have negotiated the attached mitigation agreement to address the possible impacts of the Brightwater project on the district, its customers and the environment.  This agreement is not an admission by King County that the FEIS is inadequate.
      D.  The Lake Forest Park Water District has approved the agreement in lieu of filing an appeal of the FEIS.
      E.  This agreement is consistent with the county's environmental mitigation policies in K.C.C. 28.86.140, the state Environmental Policy Act and the Growth Management Act.  The agreement provides mitigation of the adverse environmental impacts identified in the FEIS and provides for community mitigation and amenities in the neighborhoods and jurisdictions in which the Brightwater facilities will be constructed.
      SECTION 2.  The executive or the executive's designee is hereby authorized to
 
enter into an agreement with the Lake Forest Park Water District, substantially in the form of Attachment A to this ordinance, regarding mitigation for the Brightwater project.
