BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings:
A. The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade project will replace the aging Coal Creek Trunk regional sewer pipeline, part of the county's regional wastewater treatment system, that serves the cities of Bellevue and Newcastle. The property rights that are the subject of this ordinance must be acquired for the construction of the Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade project and associated facilities. The acquisition of property rights is for a public purpose.
B. The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade project is needed in order to provide additional capacity in the Coal Creek Trunk sewer pipeline. The current capacity of the Coal Creek Trunk sewer pipeline is insufficient to convey the County standard twenty-year peak wastewater flow.

A secondary benefit of the project is to move the pipeline away from Coal Creek, offering better protection to sensitive environmental areas and access for operation and maintenance.
C. King County Conveyance System Policy CP-1, in K.C.C 28.86.060, directs the county to design and construct wastewater conveyance facilities to meet the twenty-year peak flow standard to avoid sanitary sewer overflows. The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade project will meet the twenty-year peak flows standard through 2060 to accommodate projected growth of the area based on King County's Conveyance System Improvement Plan and will be an important part of the King County regional wastewater treatment system.
D. King County is authorized, by chapter 8.12 RCW, chapter 36.56 RCW, chapter 35.58.20...
