Sewaqe Disposal This project is located in an area with soils classified by the Soil Con- servatton Service as suitable for installation of itidividual on-site sewage dfsposal systems. The area is, however, located over the Spo'-cane Valley Aquffer. A study is currently under way to determine the deqree to which s-bsurface disposal of sewage treatnzent effluent may pollute the Aquifer. There is very little probability that thfs pro ject in itself will have more than a slight impact on the Aquifer. However, tal:en in conjunction with the overall urbanization of the area, some other sewaqe disposal method will inost li:ely be requirec in the future. From an environmental health viewpoult the pro ject appears feasible. An on-site sewage-cnanaqearent plan pursuant to VvAC 24e.-96-^7.. will be required. NOTE: A development of this size will require State Health 'DiLstnct and/or W-ashinqton State D.(Y.E. reviews and approval. C. V ater Availabilfty through Niodern IIectric Water Company D.
