Existing Water Quality Conditions in the Snoqualmie River Near the City of Carnation The City of Carnation has entered into an agreement with King County to construct a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to serve the City and its Urban Growth Area. Presently, two discharge alternatives are being considered for the treatment facility: An outfall in the Snoqualmie River and a discharge to a wetland. This document describes the methods, results, and interpretation of the baseline water quality monitoring that was conducted to better understand the potential effects that the discharge of highly treated wastewater may have on the water quality of the Snoqualmie River. The primary goals of this study include: Describe baseline water quality characteristics (chemical and microbiological) of the Snoqualmie River and Tolt River near Carnation to support site selection, discharge method evaluation, the environmental impact statement (EIS) development, and permit application. Coordinate with the Carnation WWTP siting, engineering, and EIS teams to support the evaluation of effluent discharge options.
