2:33 along with $3.5 million in low-interest loans. This demonstrates how local investment can attract substantial outside resources that would otherwise not come to our Clark County. The celebration included tours where participants visited four stations and learned about how the project fits into the Heritage Farm Master Plan. One of the stations was discussing the Heritage Farm Master Plan, of which this is a part of. Another station talked about the engineering and design that went into this project. Another station discussed the water quality and stream health benefits that will be coming from this project. And finally, we wanted to make sure that we touched on some of the other benefits, including the native plants and the wildlife that they will support. The restored wetland provides a state-of-the-art assessment of the project. The restored wetland provides multiple ecological and community benefits.

3:31 It provides a unique opportunity to educate the community on how agricultural practices can coincide with native wetland habitat. It's going to be a great water quality improvement project for Cougar Creek and the Salmon Creek watershed. This project will help to recharge groundwater and also help to slow the flow of water, which will improve stream health in Cougar Creek. This project will help to recharge groundwater and also help to slow the flow of water, which will improve stream health in Cougar Creek. This project will help to recharge groundwater and also help to slow the flow of water, which will improve stream health in Cougar Creek. This project will help to recharge groundwater and also help to slow the flow of water, which will improve stream health in Cougar Creek. This project will help to recharge groundwater and also help to slow the flow of water, It's also going to be an opportunity for the community to come and learn about projects like this, projects where agriculture and water quality can coexist. And so there will be interpretive signs where people can learn about this project and other parts about the farm. Planning and design for the project began in 2019. Construction finished on time and under budget. It was funded through a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Clark County Clean Water Fund. A low interest loan was provided by the EPA and Ecology through the Washington State Water

4:30 Pollution Control Revolving Fund program for Green Project Reserve. Today's ribbon cutting represents far more than the completion of a construction project. It reflects years of collaboration, planning, engineering, and partnership across our teams as well as with our colleagues at the Department of Ecology.
