Priest Rapids Project gets water certificate

EPHRATA — The Washington Department of Ecology issued a final water quality certificate to Grant County PUD for relicensing the Priest Rapids Project.

The Priest Rapids and Wanapum dams need to be relicensed because the first 50-year license expired in 2005. Sarah Morford of Grant County PUD said the PUD is hoping for another 50-year license.

The certificate, one of the last documents pending before a federal license can be issued, analyzes how dams affect water quality and specifies ways for Grant County PUD to comply with state water-quality standards. Grant County PUD first applied for certification in 2003.
