INVOLVEMENT
2013 - 2017

SCJ prepared environmental documentation and site civil design for this major industrial plant near the Snake River in eastern Washington. The plant uses wheat straw to produce a variety of products and employed close to 100 people when it opened in 2018.

SCJ coordinated the permitting effort, including a special use permit and well permit; traffic and highway access analysis, design and permitting; critical areas analysis; soils analysis; shoreline permitting; and cultural resources.

SCJ was also tasked with site feasibility planning; grading design; water, stormwater, and wastewater systems; rail spur coordination and design; and survey coordination.

SCJ coordinated with all federal, state, and local agencies and facilitated and prepared materials for public outreach efforts.
