Completed in 1991, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 15 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 210 acre-feet. The lagoon serves a primary purpose of wastewater management and covers a surface area of 168 acres, with a drainage area of 0.02 square miles.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, the Tree Top Selah Wastewater Lagoon plays a vital role in managing wastewater in the area. There have been no reported modifications or inspections in recent years, but the facility is equipped with a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 9 cubic feet per second. The lagoon also benefits from its proximity to the Tr-Yakima River, providing a natural drainage outlet for the treated wastewater.
As an essential piece of infrastructure in the region, the Tree Top Selah Wastewater Lagoon ensures proper wastewater treatment and storage, ultimately contributing to the preservation of water resources and the protection of the local environment. Its location within Congressional District 04, Washington, under the representation of Dan Newhouse (R), underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring this facility to uphold water quality standards and mitigate potential risks associated with wastewater management.
