Title New twist in vexing Cowlitz casino wastewater issue
Description New twist in vexing Cowlitz casino wastewater issue Perhaps signaling a solution to one of the most vexing problems surrounding the $510 million Cowlitz casino, Clark County’s public health officer is recommending the county allow the tribe to connect to La Center’s city sewer system.most popular casinos Forced to find its own solution, the tribe has been working on a system that would inject treated wastewater into the ground above the aquifer that supplies Clark County’s drinking water.Hooking up the casino to the city sewer line is “the safest thing to do” and a public health necessity, Dr. Alan Melnick said. La Center’s city sewer system is the safer option because it’s monitored locally and the county has access to data about the wastewater, he said in an interview this week. If something were to go wrong at the city wastewater treatment plant, the discharge would end up in the surface water of the East Fork Lewis River and eventually be washed out, Melnick said. By contrast, it’s not easy to remove contamination from the ground, he said. “God forbid something went wrong with the injection system and we’re not monitoring it,” Melnick said. However, neither the county nor the state would have the authority to monitor the effluent from the tribe’s wastewater injection system.Clark County council Chairman Marc Boldt asked Melnick a month ago to weigh in on the injection well project. Melnick will formally give his recommendation at a 10:30 a.m. meeting Wednesday at the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St. The courts ruled last year that extending a sewer line beyond La Center’s urban growth boundary to the casino, which is under construction west of Interstate 5 at Exit 16, would violate Clark County’s planning policies. But a state law that addresses urban growth areas offers an exception to the rule in paragraph four of RCW 36.70A.110: “In general, it is not appropriate that urban governmental services be extended to or expanded in rural areas except in those limited circumstances shown to be necessary to protect basic health and safety and the environment.” That means the county Board of Health, which is comprised of the five county councilors, could declare an emergency and allow the sewer hookup, said Boldt, who was unsure whether the move required the governor’s approval.Despite its sudden change of heart about the sewer connection, the county, which is embroiled in legal battles with the Cowlitz Tribe, remains opposed to the casino project, Boldt said. When asked Thursday why county officials didn’t ask for a recommendation sooner, Boldt replied, “Really, we should have probably done it before. … I do realize this is probably at the 11th hour.”
