The Peninsula Daily News had a good write up on Clallam County’s agreement to sponsor Flaura’s Acres in our application for funding from the Department of Ecology.
“Clallam County is partnering with the Flaura’s Acres homeowners’ association to apply for grants to replace the community’s failing septic system.Flaura’s Acres is a patch of unincorporated Clallam County surrounded by Sequim that has 54 single-family residences, according to its homeowners association website (HOA). “[The septic system] is in significant danger of failure,” Commissioner Mark Ozias told convened individuals during the county’s Monday work session.
The septic’s conveyance system needs to be replaced, and the drain field is old and failing with no backup, Ozias said. Janine Reed, a county environmental health specialist, said those issues already are causing sewage to leak into the groundwater.”
The HOA already has developed a design for the sewer replacement project with funding obtained from the Clallam Conservation District. The state Department of Commerce (DOC) has been working with the Flaura’s Acres HOA to identify funding sources that could be used to replace the septic system. However, to apply for the identified funding sources, the HOA needs an eligible entity to apply for the funding on its behalf.
