Design Engineer III, Drew Holcomb explained to the Committee that all
sanitary sewer providers are required to develop a Sanitary Sewer
Comprehensive Plan (Plan) meeting the requirements of WAC 173-240-050.
The Plan must be approved by the Washington Department of Ecology. In
King County, all sewer plans are reviewed by King County's Utility Technical

investments in the sanitary sewer system.
Holcomb noted the Plan must be consistent with the City of Kent
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and provide a detailed overview of the Kent
Sanitary Sewer System; and describe future demands on the sanitary sewer
system, based on growth projections. Modeling will be used to identify
potential system deficiencies and to propose capital projects to remedy
deficiencies, which will help the City to meet population growth goals. Having
the Plan in place will help us secure grant funds in the future.

The TIP is also required to be consistent with the Kent Comprehensive Plan,
including the recent update to incorporate the Transportation Master Plan.

in the City's adopted TIP.

from the TIP and new projects and plans proposed to be added to the TIP.
Brown also demonstrated the GIS StoryMap that will be used for public
