 clarifier designs upon well-established, conservative 

 design criteria. 



The report recomtnends that all mills pro- 

 vide for improved outfalls except Simpson-Lee. The report 

 also states the minirauro depth at which each particular 

 mill outfall should be located. We believe that the outfall 

 is a very necessary part of any waste treatment system, 

 but that the outfall should be located and designed to 

 achieve maximum dilution and dispersion of the waste, 

 based upon an engineering study of the receiving water- 

 course . 



The report makes recotntnendations for domes- 

 tic waste treatment at the municipalities of Bellingbam, 

 Everett, and Port Angeles, as well as for several small 

 industrial waste dischaigers at Bellinghara and Anacortes. 

 The recommendations are in concurrence v jth our Plan of 

 Implementation which has been submitted to the Federal 

 Water Pollution Control Administration, with the exception 

 of Bellin^^.:..,. The report states that secondary treattoent 

 is necessary at Bellinghafn, while our plan states that a 

 minimum of primary treattttent is required and additional 

 treatment may be required based upon a study by the City, 

 The report does not document the need for the higher degree 

 of treatment, but we prefer to use the method as outlined
