The new wastewater treatment plant will replace the existing sewer lagoons that were constructed in 1981. Tests have indicated that the lagoons were a major contributor to elevated levels of selenium in Ashley Creek and will eventually be abandoned. The new mechanical treatment plant will reduce the amount of selenium entering Ashley Creek and will discharge a high quality effluent that will enhance the aquatic habitat in Ashley Creek. Capacity of the plant is 4.7 million gallons per day.
Primary treatment occurs through a biological treatment process.
Treated wastewater will be disinfected using ultraviolet light, an environmentally friendly disinfection process. The treated water will then be re-aerated to increase the amount of oxygen in the water prior to discharge to Ashley Creek. Initial flow to the plant is expected to be about 2.3 million gallons per day. Rest of Story Dave Hatch, retired homicide investigator, makes case for law enforcement.
