Document Description
The City of Arvin proposes to expand its existing Wastewater Treatment Plant from approximately 2 million gallons per day to 4 million gallons per day in order to accommodate current and anticipated growth using a parallel ExAAS (Extended Aeration Activated Sludge) system. New infrastructure would be added at the existing site of the plant, and 45 additional acreage would be used for sludge beds and storage ponds. These additional acres are owned by the City and have been farmed with annual crops in anticipation of this expansion. The parallel ExAAS system would be installed within the boundaries of the existing plant. These new facilities consist of a new headworks; an additional oxidation ditch; a third ring to the existing Orbal Aeration system; two new 60 foot diameter clarifiers; a new effluent pump station; and associated piping, paving and grading, and electrical controls. Also proposed for the recommended facilities are conversion to nitrification/denitrification in anticipation of future Central Valley RWQCB requirements using an anoxic ditch, 35 additional acres of storage/percolation ponds for the effluent, an emergency generator, and an irrigation pump station.
