Document Description
The project would expand the capacity of the Cottonwood Wastewater Treatment Plant from 0.43 million gallons per day (MGD) to 0.86 MGD. Improvements are planned in three stages. Stage 1 would increase the size of the existing sludge lagoons and replace worn and broken equipment. Stage 2 would add a third sludge lagoon, one oxidation ditch and make most of the mechanical and infrastructure adjustments necessary for the plant to carry its full volume. Stage 3 would add a fourth sludge drying bed and complete the mechanical and infrastructure improvements. The existing outfall diffuser in Cottonwood Creek would also be replaced. The County plans the acquisition of approximately 4 acres immediately north of the project site. Approximately 0.5 acres would be used for the expansion of sludge lagoon and the remaining 3.5 acres would serve as a vegetative screen and buffer area.
