Grant County has issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (WAC Chapter 197-11) for the following project: A Discretionary Use Review and SEPA Checklist to enable the development of a community water system on an approximately 2.32-acre parcel in the Rural Community zoning district of Grant County. Said development will include the construction of two (2) new 100,000-gallon concrete water reservoirs and related equipment and appurtenances on the subject parcel. Other planned (off-site) improvements include the demolition of an existing steel water storage tank, abandonment of a portion of the 8-inch distribution main that feeds the existing storage tank, installation of a new 8-inch distribution main from near the existing storage tank to the new reservoirs, drilling and installation of new 8-inch distribution pipe under a Quincy-Columbia Basin Irrigation District wasteway canal (approximately 85 feet), and installation of a new 8-inch distribution pipe on Nob Hill Street to connect to a new booster pumping station. The booster station will be an approximately 8-ft. x 10-ft. wood frame structure. New 4-inch pipe will connect the booster station to the existing distribution system.
