Location of alternative means for CSO control in North Beach basin

In 2008, King County reported that the North Beach CSO facility has 10 overflows per year on average that discharge a total of 2.2 million gallons into Puget Sound from the outfall off North Beach. Alternative means being considered must be capable of managing a volume of about 230,000 gallons of peak flows in order to meet regulatory requirements.

Information about proposed alternatives for CSO control projects in North Beach is provided below, including some of the benefits and challenges King County has identified for each alternative.
