As part of its CSO Control Program, King County is identifying CSO control approaches for the four project basins along Puget Sound in Seattle. These locations are top priority because people are most likely to come in contact with water during recreational activities such as swimming.
State Department of Ecology regulations require CSO facilities to have no more than one CSO event per year. These CSO facilities do not meet this requirement at this time. Overflows below are based on a 7-year average, reported to DOE in 2008.
South Magnolia - South Magnolia discharged on average 19 times each year, a total of 31 million gallons per year.
North Beach - North Beach discharged on average 10 times each year, a total of 2.2 million gallons per year.
Barton - Barton discharged on average 4 times per year a total of 4 million gallons into Puget Sound off Fauntleroy.
Murray - Murray discharged on average 5 times per year a total of 5 million gallons off Lowman Beach.
