Document Description
The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) is a Responsible Agency for the Project. The State Water Board’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program is financing the Project. The Project includes converting the existing, completely-mixed pond to an aeration basin, allowing treated effluent to be discharged to existing percolation ponds. In addition, secondary clarifiers will be constructed west of the completely-mixed pond for sludge removal and recycling. Three existing wells will be abandoned and capped in place. Three monitoring wells will be constructed in the same footprint as the abandoned wells. A solar system will be installed within the existing fenced area of the WWTP.
