The City of Everett, WA, has initiated the Lenora Regional Stormwater Facility project, designed to improve water quality through the construction of an engineered treatment facility featuring Filterra Bioscape media treatment cells. Additionally, the project includes essential pipe installations along the north side of Lanora Avenue, connecting to South 3rd Avenue. Comment periods for the project are set for March 4 and March 20, 2025, allowing residents to express their concerns and ensure their voices are heard in the planning process. The city anticipates issuing a mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) under WAC 197-11-355, which streamlines the environmental review process. Individuals who submit comments will receive a copy of the decision along with appeal rights information, fostering transparency and community engagement.

This initiative is vital for addressing local stormwater challenges and enhancing environmental quality in the region. The project reflects the city's commitment to sustainable development and responsible resource management. With the growing importance of effective stormwater management, this facility will play a crucial role in safeguarding Everett's waterways and promoting ecological health.
