Title

California Correctional Center Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project

Description

The proposed CCC WWTP improvement project would enhance treatment facilities at the CCC WWTP to improve discharge effluent quality in compliance with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Lahontan Region permit requirements. The CCC WWTP system is currently permitted to treat an average dry weather flow of 1.4 million gallons per day (mgd), and is currently permitted to discharge 1.0 million mgd via land disposal onto irrigated row crops. The proposed project would increase the facility's permitted treatment and discharge capacity to 1.8 mgd. Proposed facilities include the proposed acquisition of a 640-acre parcel of land that would accommodate a new 270-acre irrigation spray field and a buffer zone around the spray field. Project improvements include constructing two storage ponds, converting two sedimentation ponds to aeration ponds, constructing two storage ponds, converting two sedimentation ponds and new sludge drying beds, installing parallel influent force main, and improvements to the plant head works. The proposed facility would be located within the existing CCC property boundary and will be operated by existing plant operations staff.
