St. Helens council OKs engineering work on lagoon cell using existing grants; larger landfill plan scaled back After a technical update on the Central Waterfront/Lagoon project, councilors agreed by consensus to use remaining state grant funds to advance engineering for a constrained fill cell (Cell A) and to preserve options for a future wastewater treatment plant, while shelving a larger landfill/transload approach because of geotechnical, seismic and cost constraints.

St. Helens is shifting gears on its lagoon project, opting for a smaller, cost-effective cell design after uncovering major geological challenges that could impact funding.
