This document, the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant Master Planning Update, serves as a long-term roadmap for the LOTT Clean Water Alliance's Budd Inlet Treatment Plant. It addresses projected increases in influent flows and loads through 2050, focusing on maintaining effective wastewater treatment and high-quality product output. Key areas include assessing facility needs, evaluating alternatives for centrate treatment, secondary process capacity, wet weather management, and digester capacity. The plan also incorporates high-level assessments on climate change impacts, septage receiving, biosolids disposition, and solids thickening, alongside future site planning to accommodate growth and operational resilience.

This 2050 LOTT System Plan serves as an updated long-range roadmap for wastewater resource management, building upon previous strategies to meet community needs through 2050. It focuses on assessing and upgrading the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant, managing system-wide capacity through optimized reclaimed water expansion and enhanced treatment technologies, and engaging public and stakeholders. The plan aims to ensure continued high-quality wastewater treatment, cost-efficiency, and adaptability in managing water resources for the future.

This document outlines the LOTT Wastewater Resource Management Plan, a 22-year strategic roadmap for managing wastewater services in north Thurston County. The plan's primary purpose is to protect public health and the environment by providing comprehensive wastewater management services. It evaluates three alternatives: the preferred 'Highly Managed Alternative', a 'Traditional Facilities Alternative', and a 'No Action Alternative'. The preferred 'Highly Managed Alternative' emphasizes using wastewater as a resource, optimizing existing facilities, focusing on environmental suitability, adding capacity in small increments ('just-in-time' approach), and enabling alternative financing. Key focus areas include flow reduction, reclamation, groundwater recharge, and managing wintertime discharge in Budd Inlet. The plan aims to meet regulatory requirements, accommodate projected growth, and ensure long-term environmental and financial sustainability.

This Sea Level Rise Response Plan for the City of Olympia outlines a comprehensive, long-term strategy to adapt to rising sea levels. The plan focuses on protecting downtown's economic, social, and environmental values by addressing vulnerabilities across four key areas: Capitol Lake / Lower Deschutes Watershed, Percival Landing and Isthmus, Budd Inlet Treatment Plant and Combined Sewer System, and the Port of Olympia Peninsula. It employs a phased approach, integrating physical, operational, governance, and informational strategies to manage flood risks, mitigate damage, reduce costs, and ensure coordinated implementation among stakeholders.

The Lott Clean Water Alliance's plan addresses the impacts of sea level rise on the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant in Olympia. It outlines near-term (2019-2024), mid-term (2025-2050), and long-term (2051-2075) priorities. Key strategies include assessing risks, coordinating with local partners, designing elevated structures, flood-proofing facilities, increasing water storage and pumping capacity, and considering perimeter flood protection and wet weather treatment systems. The plan aims to ensure the plant's operational resilience and protect downtown Olympia's community assets from increasing flood risks.
