Renovation of a water / sewer project in Edmonds, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

This allows the ability to continue production of class A solids if/when the gasification system is shut down for repairs or preventative maintenance. The ability to produce and haul class A solids will eliminate a temporary but substantial cost increase hauling as this product is essentially the same in volume as biochar or concentrated minerals and is accepted at the local transfer station whereas if this option is not available, sludge will need to be loaded into trailers and hauled to Oregon as was done during the Carbon Recovery Project at a cost of up to $200,000 per month. This redundant solids processing mode was an option to add to the Carbon Recovery Project and was rejected by previous administration. Along with the savings in hauling costs, there will be no additional odor issues or daily sludge truck traffic in the adjacent neighborhood. As of October 22, 2024, this project is included in the city's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
