This document is an Application for Site Certification for the Wallula Power Project in Washington State, submitted by Wallula Generation LLC to the State of Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council. The application details water management plans for the proposed power plant, including how stormwater runoff from the 66-acre site will be captured, routed through oil/water separators, and reused in the plant's cooling tower basin. The applicant argues that this stormwater reuse strategy will reduce groundwater withdrawals from the local gravel aquifer with no net regional impact on water resources.

A wetlands scientist named Amanda Azous filed a legal declaration opposing the Port of Seattle's airport expansion project, arguing that filling approximately 2.8 acres of wetlands near Miller Creek would cause serious and irreversible environmental harm. She contends that the Port's mitigation plan—relying on stormwater management, embankment walls, and upland planting—cannot adequately replace the lost wetland functions, particularly the critical water and nutrient flows these wetlands provide to the broader Miller Creek watershed.
