Lummi Tribal Sewer & Water District Plant Earns EPA PISCES Award for Innovative CWSRF Project
The Gooseberry Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington has earned the national EPA PISCES Award for innovative clean water infrastructure. The $15 million project was recognized for incorporating climate-resilient engineering and safeguarding sensitive marine habitats.
The Gooseberry Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington state has been selected as one of only five projects nationwide to receive the EPA's 2026 PISCES Award. Completed by the Lummi Tribal Sewer & Water District with approximately $15 million in Clean Water State Revolving Fund assistance, the facility was honored for outstanding community engagement, partnership, and forward-looking engineering.
The upgraded wastewater facility incorporates climate-resilient designs structured to withstand sea level rise, king tides, and severe storm events. Beyond structural hardening, the treatment upgrades provide critical protections for regional ecological assets, including habitats for Puget Sound rockfish, Southern Resident killer whales, and marbled murrelets.
The modernized system is engineered to satisfy community wastewater treatment demands through 2037. The achievement follows more than a decade of multi-agency collaboration between the Lummi Nation, the Washington Department of Ecology, and the EPA to restore water quality across Hale Passage and outer Bellingham Bay.
