| THE GRANT COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT, DOING BUSINESS AS THE COLUMBIA BASIN CONSERVATION DISTRICT IN THE MID-COLUMBIA BASIN OF EASTERN WASHINGTON STATE, WILL CREATE A WEBSITE CALLED THE COLUMBIA BASIN GROUNDWATER COOPERATIVE - A WEB RESOURCE MANAGED BY YOUR LOCAL CONSERVATION DISTRICTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO COMPILE AND MAKE ACCESSIBLE EXISTING INFORMATION THAT IS NOT OTHERWISE EASILY AVAILABLE FROM THE COLUMBIA BASIN GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA. THIS DATA WAS COLLECTED BETWEEN 1998 AND 2014 AND HAS SINCE BECOME ALMOST INACCESSIBLE. ALSO COOPERATING ON THE PROJECT ARE LINCOLN COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND FRANKLIN CONSERVATION DISTRICT. | Washington (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | COLUMBIA BASIN CONSERVATION DISTRICT | $98K | — |

| THE CITY OF YAKIMA, LOCATED IN SOUTHERN WASHINGTON, WILL CONSTRUCT DOMESTIC WATER AND SANITARY SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE TO TWO DISTINCT DISADVANTAGED AND UNDERSERVED AREAS IN THE CITY WHERE CITY UTILITY SERVICES CURRENTLY DO NOT EXIST TO FULLY CONNECT 85 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO THE CITYS RESILIENT, SAFE, AND RELIABLE POTABLE WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS. IN THESE AREAS, INDIVIDUAL WELLS SERVE EACH PARCEL AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS ACCOMPANY EACH PARCEL FOR THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGES. THESE WELLS ARE VERY SHALLOW, RANGING FROM 25 FEET TO 80 FEET BELOW THE GROUND SURFACE. WITH PARCEL SIZES BEING RELATIVELY SMALL WITH LIMITED LANDSCAPED AREAS, THE SEPTIC SYSTEMS INCLUDING DRAIN FIELD LOCATIONS ARE TYPICALLY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE WELLS. WITH SEPTIC DRAIN FIELDS ABOVE THE GROUNDWATER WELLS INTAKE, THIS POSES A GRAVE PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN FOR CONTAMINATED WATER IN THESE TWO DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. THE USE OF SHALLOW WELLS AND INDIVIDUAL SEPTIC TANKS HAS BEEN CHALLENGED WITH THE FREQUENCY AND DURATIONS OF RECENT DROUGHTS IN WASHINGTON STATE. THIS PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED AND PRIORITIZED IN THE CITYS 2017 WATER SYSTEM PLAN. WITH THE ADDITION OF CITY WATER SERVICES, WATER SUPPLIES WILL BE MORE RELIABLE AND WATER QUALITY WILL NO LONGER BE IN DANGER OF BEING CONTAMINATED, POSING A RISK TO PUBLIC HEALTH. | Washington (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CITY OF YAKIMA | $4.9M | — |

| AWARD PURPOSE: THE KALISPEL TRIBE OF INDIANS (TRIBE) WILL PLAN, DESIGN AND ACQUIRE PERMITS FOR A DOMESTIC DRINKING WATER PROJECT ON THE KALISPEL RESERVATION. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PLAN AND DESIGN A NEW DRINKING WATER SYSTEM, THAT PROVIDES THE TRIBE WITH SAFE, ADEQUATE, REGULATED ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER. CURRENTLY, THE TRIBES WATER IS SUPPLIED BY THE TOWN OF CUSICK, WA. THE TOWN OF CUSICK WATER IS SUPPLIED BY THE PEND OREILLE RIVER, WHERE ITS COLLECTED VIA INTAKE, TREATED THROUGH A 700 GALLONS PER MINUTE (GPM) DESIGN FLOW RATE SAND FILTRATION SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND PUMPED TO A 400,000 GALLON ELEVATED STORAGE TANK. THE STORAGE TANK AND THE TREATMENT PLANT BOOSTER STATION DISTRIBUTE AND SUPPLY WATER THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA VIA SINGLE 12-INCH GRAVITY TRANSMISSION MAIN AND A SERIES OF 8-INCH AND 6-INCH GRAVITY DISTRIBUTION LINES. THE TRIBES ONE POINT OF CONNECTION TO THE TOWNS WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR SERVICE TO THEIR LAND IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PEND OREILLE RIVER AT THE FAR END OF THE TOWN OF CUSICK. SERVICE FLOW AND PRESSURE ARE LIMITED.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: A COMPREHENSIVE WATER SYSTEM PLANNING EFFORT WILL BE UNDERTAKEN, TARGETED TOWARD DEVELOPMENT OF NEW WELL SOURCES TO SERVE THE DOMESTIC WATER NEEDS OF THE KALISPEL RESERVATION, AND TO INTEGRATE AND ADAPT THE EXISTING ELEMENTS OF THE WATER SYSTEM TO USE THE NEW SOURCES, ALLOWING THE TRIBE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO AND CONTROL OF THEIR OWN DOMESTIC WATER RESOURCES. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO INCLUDE DESIGN OF THE INITIAL ELEMENTS, AS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLANNING EFFORT, NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR THE TRIBE TO CONSTRUCT THE NEW SOURCE WELLS, PROVIDE REQUIRED WATER QUALITY TREATMENT, CONNECT THE WELLS TO THE EXISTING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, AND OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TOWN OF CUSICK WATER SYSTEM.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL PROVIDE THE KALISPEL TRIBE WITH SOVEREIGNTY OVER THEIR DRINKING WATER AND PROVIDE THEM WITH ACCESS TO SAFE, CLEAN, RELIABLE DRINKING WATER. THE PROPOSED PLANNING AND DESIGN WILL PROVIDE THE TRIBE WITH ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER THAT MEETS EPA AND INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES (IHS) STANDARDS. THE TRIBE WILL ALSO OVERSEE THEIR OWN WATER SYSTEM AND NO LONGER BE RELIANT ON A WATER SYSTEM THAT LACKS REGULATION DUE TO STAFFING ISSUES. THIS PLANNING PROJECT PROVIDES FOR WATER SUPPLY TO THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE RESERVATION, WHICH IS SPLIT BY THE PEND OREILLE RIVER.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: RELIABLE, WELL-MANAGED CLEAN WATER ACCESS FOR AN ESTIMATED 16,000 PEOPLE A MONTH (AND GROWING) UNDER TRIBAL CONTROL FOR ALL TRIBAL RESIDENCES AND FACILITIES EAST OF THE PEND OREILLE RIVER, WITH A PATH FORWARD FOR THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER. | Washington (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | KALISPEL INDIAN COMMUNITY OF THE KALISPEL RESERVATION | $2.3M | — |
| THE CITY OF WALLA WALLA (CITY), LOCATED IN WALLA WALLA COUNTY, WASHINGTON, WILL RETROFIT CITY WELL 5 TO CONVERT THE WELL FROM A PRODUCTION ONLY WELL TO AN AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY (ASR) WELL. BY CONVERTING CITY WELL 5 TO AN ASR WELL, THE CITY WILL BE ABLE TO RECHARGE THE AQUIFER IN WINTER AND SPRING WHEN WATER IS PLENTIFUL, MAKING STORED WATER AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCIES, CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSE, AND DROUGHT. THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO STORE APPROXIMATELY 5,000 ACRE-FEET OVER A 10 YEAR PERIOD. THE INCREASED STORAGE WILL ENABLE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A WATER LEASE PROGRAM THAT INCREASE FLOWS IN MILL CREEK DURING THE PEAK SUMMER LOW FLOW PERIODS. THIS WILL IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, MAINTAIN AQUATIC HEALTH OF THE CREEK, AND PROMOTE FISH MIGRATION. FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE BASIN HAS BEEN UNDER A DROUGHT DECLARATION ISSUED BY THE GOVERNOR. ASR IS A MITIGATION ACTION LISTED IN THE WALLA WALLA WATER 2050 STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WAS PUBLISHED BY ECOLOGYS OFFICE OF COLUMBIA RIVER THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT OF DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS. | Washington (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CITY OF WALLA WALLA | $1.5M | — |

| DATE: JUNE 24, 2024 APPLICANT: PURE BLUE TECH INC. ADDRESS: 1329 MARIETTA AVE, BELLINGHAM, WHATCOM COUNTY, WA 98226 ESTIMATED DURATION: 21 MONTHS ESTIMATED TIMELINE: JANUARY 2025 ? SEPTEMBER 2026 PURE BLUE TECH INC. (PBT) PROPOSES A PROJECT TO PROTOTYPE AND PILOT SENSOR INTEGRATED REVERSE OSMOSIS (SIRO) MEMBRANE ELEMENTS AND A DIGITAL MONITORING SYSTEM TO ENHANCE THE CAPABILITIES OF DESALINATION AND WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEMS. THIS INNOVATION AIMS TO INCREASE THE RESOLUTION AND VOLUME OF CRITICAL DATA BY FOUR TIMES, AIDING SYSTEM OPERATORS IN OPTIMIZING MEMBRANE AND SYSTEM OPERATIONS, RECOVERY, EFFICIENCY, AND MAINTENANCE. THE SIRO TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATES PBT?S PROPRIETARY THIN, FLEXIBLE, FLAT, AND INEXPENSIVE MULTI-SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, ENABLING PRECISE MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING OF WATER QUALITY AND INDIVIDUAL MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE AND HEALTH. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNITED STATES BUREAU OF RECLAMATION'S (USBR) WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT CENTER (WQIC) IN YUMA, ARIZONA, PBT WILL CONDUCT A 30-90 DAY FIELD PILOT TO EVALUATE THE SIRO TECHNOLOGY'S PERFORMANCE, INSTALLATION, AND USABILITY. DATA MEASURED AND MONITORED BY THE SYSTEM WILL INCLUDE CRITICAL MEMBRANE ELEMENT AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, HEALTH, PRODUCTIVITY, EFFICIENCY, AND RECOVERY INFORMATION--DATASETS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE WITHIN PRESSURE VESSELS. THIS PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE REAL-TIME DATA ACQUISITION, SUPPORTING OPERATORS IN OPTIMIZING RESOURCE USAGE, PROCESS CONTROL, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING PROCEDURES BY ENHANCING DECISION SUPPORT WITH HIGHER RESOLUTION DATA AND NEW DATA. IT ALSO AIMS TO PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE REGARDING MEMBRANE FOULING AND SCALING AND IDENTIFY FAILED MEMBRANE ELEMENTS WITHIN LARGE-SCALE OPERATIONS. INSTANTANEOUS AND AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF BREACHES OF PFAS AND OTHER TOXIC CONTAMINANTS INTO THE PERMEATE STREAM WILL BE ENABLED. THE INTEGRATION OF REAL-TIME DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE WILL FACILITATE EVALUATION AND DECISION-MAKING FROM THE DATASETS. COLLECTIVELY, THIS HELPS MODERNIZE THE DESALINATION, WATER PURIFICATION, AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT INDUSTRY NATIONWIDE AND ADVANCE USA'S LEADERSHIP GLOBALLY. THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS $615,432.91, WITH PBT REQUESTING $300,000 IN CASH REIMBURSEMENT FUNDING FROM USBR, AND THE REMAINING $315,432.91 FUNDED THROUGH PBT?S EQUITY INVESTMENTS.
