B
B
Bellevue's
lakeline
system
is
an
important
part
of
the
wastewater
system
located
along
the
shoreline
of
lake
washington.
These
wastewater
pipes
are
shown
on
the
map
to
the
right
in
blue
they're,
either
underwater
or
on
land
adjacent
to
the
lake.
These
systems
include
approximately
14.6
miles
of
wastewater
mains,
as
well
as
23
pump
stations,
as
you
can
see
on
the
map
the
pipelines
cross
through
the
shorelines
of
multiple
jurisdictions,
and
these
jurisdictions
include
bellevue.
Both
arts,
village,
hunts,
point
medina
euro
point
and
a
small
part
of
king
county.
B
This
is
an
aerial
sketch
of
what
many
of
the
lakeline
systems
may
look
like.
Raw
sewage
is
discharged
from
the
properties
near
lake
washington
into
their
private
site
sewers.
These
private
site
sewers
are
shown
as
the
red
lines
leaving
the
homes,
these
private
side,
sewers
discharge,
the
sewage
into
the
city
of
bellevue's
lake
line
system
and
those
are
shown
as
the
purple
lines.
B
Most
of
these
lake
line
systems
were
constructed
back
in
1950s
and
60s,
and
this
was
to
prevent
the
raw
sewage
from
the
homes
and
the
businesses
from
being
directly
discharged
into
lake
washington.
This
infrastructure
now
serves
more
than
1
000
properties
in
the
six
municipalities,
as
shown
in
the
previous
map.
B
B
B
What
is,
and
why
do
we
need
a
lakeline
management
plan?
Well,
the
management
plan
we
are
creating
will
be
a
long-term
plan
that
looks
at
how
best
to
manage
the
14.6
miles
of
lake
line
systems
for
the
next
20
30
years
or
beyond.
The
plan
will
divide
the
lake
line
into
separate
areas
for
analysis
and
planning.
B
All
areas
of
the
lakeline
system
will
have
continued
maintenance,
but
some
areas
may
require
repair
and
or
replacement
in
2016,
an
initial
condition
assessment
was
performed
on
the
lakelines.
The
photo
to
the
right
is
called
a
coupon
and
that's
a
sample
of
a
piece
of
lakeline
pipe
that
was
taken
for
testing.
B
B
They
could
result
in
service
impacts,
property
damage
to
individual
homes
or
businesses,
potential
sewer,
backups
and
contamination
of
lake
washington,
and
these
would
also
result
in
emergency
repairs.
The
management
plan
we
are
developing
will
help
ensure
proactive
repair,
replacement
and
maintenance
of
these
systems.
B
In
addition
to
creating
that
management
plan,
we're
also
preparing
a
programmatic
environmental
impact
study,
and
that
will
be
in
tandem
with
the
development
of
our
plan.
Riley
pittman,
the
environmental
planning
manager
he'll
talk
to
you
a
little
more
about
this
a
little
later
today
in
our
presentation,
the
best
way
to
stay
up
to
date
on
the
project
and
give
input
along
the
way
is
to
sign
up
for
project
emails.
B
A
Thank
you,
angela
for
sharing
background
information
about
the
lakelines
and
the
management
plan
and
before
our
next
presenter,
I
would
like
to
remind
you
to
use
the
q
a
tool
to
submit
scoping
questions,
and
if
you
have
a
clarifying
question
about
the
eis
scoping
process,
please
leave
the
question
only
and
we
did
have
one
clarifying
question
come
in
asking
if
this
video
this
meeting
will
be
available
for
viewing
later
and
yes,
we
will
get
that
up
on
the
project.
A
Website
probably
give
us
a
couple
days
for
that
to
get
up
there,
but
it
will
be
made
available.
C
C
This
plan
is
the
subject
of
super
review,
and
so
the
state
environmental
policy
act
or
cipa
requires
agencies
to
consider
likely
environmental
consequences
of
any
project
plan
or
decision
that
it
might
undertake
or
approve
cipa
rules
provide
also
for
the
actual
review
process
and
procedures,
and
then
one
of
those
processes
is
the
eis
process.
C
So
what
is
an
environmental
impact
statement,
and
why
is
it
being
prepared?
An
environmental
impact
statement
or
an
eis
is
a
document
that
provides
an
impartial
discussion
of
significant
environmental
impacts,
reasonable
alternatives
and
any
mitigation
measures
that
would
avoid
or
minimize
potential
adverse
impacts.
C
C
So
public
participation
is
a
very
critical
part
of
the
scoping
period
because
it
allows
for
the
public
to
give
us
input
on
the
scope
of
the
is
and
to
focus
what
we
should
be
looking
at
in
terms
of
what's
important
to
the
community
and
any
relevant
issues
that
the
community
finds
important
and
that
can
include
probable
impacts,
include
alternatives
or
any
other
mitigation
measures
and
then,
depending
on
the
comments
received,
they'll
be
analyzed
and
if
there
is
an
impact
or
a
mitigation
measure
alternative
that
is
raised
from
the
public
comments.
B
D
Thank
you,
riley,
I'm
laura
kemerick
and,
as
lindsay
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
I
am
with
chrono
engineers
and
I
am
the
consultant
management
plan
lead
tonight.
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
with
you
some
of
the
alternatives
that
the
eis
is
going
to
be
analyzing.
That
will
inform
solutions
in
the
management
plan.
D
D
Doing
work
on
the
lakeline
system
presents
multiple
technical,
environmental,
social,
operational
and
financial
challenges
because
of
its
location
in
and
adjacent
to
the
lake
future
solutions
identified
by
the
plan
could
have
potential
impacts
on
the
environment
as
well
as
property
owners
and
the
public.
The
is
is
going
to
help
us
to
identify
and
mitigate
the
impacts.
So
let
me
describe
each
of
these
alternatives
to
you
in
more
detail.
D
D
The
next
eis
alternative
is
what
we
call
in
water.
The
in
water
alternative
includes
work
below
the
ordinary
high
water
mark
of
lake
washington,
which
is
the
typical
high
water
level
of
the
lake.
Potential
solutions
could
include
repair,
replacement
and
relocation
of
the
lines
and
associated
infrastructure
within
the
within
the
lake
area.
D
D
And
the
last
alternative
that
we'd
like
to
describe
is
the
eis
alternative
for
upland
solutions.
An
upland
alternative
includes
work
generally
located
upland
of
the
homes
and
or
in
the
general
vicinity
of
the
public.
Right-Of-Way
potential
solutions
could
include
relocation
of
the
lines
and
associated
infrastructure
within
the
upland
area.
D
This
could
be
accomplished
by
installing
a
new
vacuum
sewer
or
grinder
pump
system
that
discharges
into
an
upland
main,
as
shown
in
the
graphic.
That's
on
your
screen.
Other
methods
could
ins
could
include
installing
a
new
gravity,
sewer
line
via
open
cut
or
trenchless
construction
or
combination
of
these
different
methods.
C
Thanks
laura,
so
this
is
a
non-project
eis,
which
means
that
it's
a
non-project,
because
it
is
not
a
specific
plan
or
a
project
that
has
a
permit
or
an
outcome.
It's
a
management
plan
that
is
looking
at
a
series
of
potential
future
projects
or
actions
that
were
intended
to
manage
or
repair
the
sewer
line.
C
This
eis
will
provide
decision
makers
and
the
public
with
an
impartial
analysis
of
the
potential
impacts
from
carrying
out
this.
This
non-project
plan
that
is
intended
to
manage
the
the
sewer
line,
so
this
eis
will
be
evaluating
the
plan,
alternatives
that
you
just
heard
about
and
or
that
are
that
come
up
during
the
scoping
period
and
is
not
necessarily
or
is
not
evaluating
specific
construction
projects,
future
repair
replacement.
Any
of
that
work
that
requires
permits
that'll
be
reviewed
separately
from
this
proposal.
C
As
far
as
the
timeline
goes,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
management
plan
is
anticipated
to
complete
in
early
2024,
so
this
eis
review
is
happening
simultaneously,
and
so
there
are
periods
in
this
timeline
for
public
comment.
As
you
can
see,
we
are
currently
in
the
eis
scoping
period
and
that
ends
in
august
of
2022.
C
A
A
Okay,
so
I'll
mention,
as
we
are
filtering
these
questions,
to
try
to
get
answers
out
a
lot
of
the
questions.
We're
getting
are
about
really
specific
lakeline
areas
so
for
most
of
those
we'll
be
following
up
with
you,
specifically
with
some
more
information
about
exactly
the
specific
area
that
you're
asking
about.
A
We
did
have
a
question
about
participants
and
we
do
have
the
person
who
asked
us
if
they're
the
only
participant
you're,
not
the
only
participant.
I
think
we
have
about
10
folks
on
the
line
trying
to
count
between
who's,
panelists
and
who's.
A
attendee.
A
C
So
if
I'm
following
this
process
right
we're
so
right
now
we're
we're
collecting
all
the
comments
and
questions
those
will
be
recorded,
and
so,
if
you
would
like
to
see
those
those
can
be
requested,
as
through
a
public
records,
request,
they'll
be
part
of
the
the
project
record
and
the
file
as
we
go
forward.
A
I'll
just
add
a
reminder,
as
folks
are
maybe
thinking
and
writing
that
do,
go
ahead
and
use
that
q
a
tool.
If
you
have
comments
that
you
would
like
to
submit
for
eis
scoping
in
addition
to
any
clarifying
questions.
A
Okay,
I
will
also
note
that
the
presentation
portion
is
got
no
more
presentation
for
tonight.
We
will
hang
on
to
answer
clarifying
questions
and
again
we
will
follow
up
with
specific
questions
or
things
about
the
management
plan
and
so
we'll
stay
on
the
line,
if
there's
additional
comments,
but
we
will
have
no
further
presentation.
A
Okay,
thank
you
to
those
who
have
stuck
it
out
with
us.
We
have
come
to
the
end
of
the
eis
scoping
meeting
for
the
lake
washington
wastewater,
lakeline
management
plan.
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
clarifying
questions
and
time
this
evening.
If
later
on,
you
have
a
comment
you
wish
to
add.
You
can
submit
your
comment
through
the
online
open
house
before
august
5th.
