Wastewater treatment plants, transportation infrastructure, and cogeneration plants are all essential facilities that have a tremendous impact on communities. EnviroIssues helps clients find the best location to meet facility and community needs. Although impacts and mitigation are unavoidable, we help our clients design facilities and communicate with the public throughout the process.
Improving Public Facilities

The Queen Anne Water System Improvement project will increase water storage capacity and water pressure for approximately 600 single-and multi-family properties, and improve the seismic reliability of the Queen Anne water system. Seattle Public Utilities is replacing two aging and deteriorated water tanks with a single 2 million gallon tank and installing a new underground pump station. EnviroIssues is providing communication and community outreach support during construction of this project.

 
Discussing a Neighborhood Fire Station

EnviroIssues is supporting the Seattle City Council as they independently evaluate the site selection options for a fire station in a dense neighborhood. We lead a team of outreach and technical experts to design and implement a fully integrated and transparent community outreach and site evaluation process. Our work includes strategic outreach planning, stakeholder and community meeting facilitation, public information materials, media relations and thorough coordination of public input and technical work.

 
Growing Region Gets New Wastewater Treatment Plant

Rapid population growth in the Puget Sound region led King County to build Brightwater, a third wastewater treatment plant. EnviroIssues has supported this project since the pre-design phase. We developed and executed a community outreach plan for the underground and surface conveyance facilities for the system, within a 14-mile corridor. We were on the ground during geotechnical investigations and construction, and we served project needs as we identified the issues and concerns of all parties, informed the public about geotechnical work in their neighborhoods, developed outreach materials, and planned and implemented community meetings, technical workshops, seminars, and site tours.
