Soapmine Road Area Nitrate Remediation Project

Soapmine Road Area Nitrate Remediation Project

The initial Pilot Project assessed the impact of one pump, a small treatment plant, and approximately 6,000 feet of 8 inch PVC Pipeline. 100,000 gallons of water per day were to be treated. This Pilot Project proved successful, leading the Remediation project proposed and evaluated in 2012. That project called for the extension of a total of 2,617 feet of 8 inch PVC pipeline in the Webster and Clay River Road right-of-way, as well as a small extension of pipeline at the city sewage treatment plant. In addition, a total of six new wells and below ground pumps will be added to the current system (i.e., four wells/pumps assessed in 2012 and two wells/pumps evaluated in the 2013 current report), with the possibility of an above ground booster located near the point where existing pipelines cross the Mojave River. The project is designed to treat approximately 1,400,000 gallons per day; this is the same amount of water that was to be treated by the 2012 project, i.e., the addition of two wells does not add to the treatment capacity of the 2012 proposed treatment system.
