Brief Project Description: As documented in the approved 2013 City of Yelm General Sewer Plan
(Yelm GSP), the City of Yelm (City) will review critical upgrade requirements for their existing Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF). This Sewer Facilities Plan (Plan) describes the development and evaluation
of alternatives for liquid and solid waste stream treatment upgrades at the City’s WRF. This Plan has
been prepared in accordance with Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-240. Completing the
projects recommended in this Plan will allow the City to provide continued reliable reclaimed water
production, wastewater treatment, and waste solids handling to the City of Yelm while protecting and
preserving the surrounding environment.
