This facility, regulated by the Washington Dept of Ecology, plays a crucial role in treating wastewater from the Tr-Yakima River-Offstream before it is released back into the environment. Completed in 1985, this Earth-type dam stands at a hydraulic height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 18 acre-feet.
With a hazard potential rated as high, Selah Aerated Lagoon undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The last inspection in May 2016 deemed its condition as fair. Despite its age, this facility continues to meet state regulatory standards for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While it primarily serves purposes beyond flood control or water supply, the Selah Aerated Lagoon remains a critical component in managing water resources in the Yakima region and contributes to maintaining the overall health of the local ecosystem.
