in-land portion of the outfall. Improvements to the aeration system, mixers, and mixed liquor return pumping system will
result in 30% energy savings, qualifying as an EPA Green Project.
This project is the first of nine phases identified in the RECIPIET’s Capital Improvement Program , detailed in the 2019
WWTP Facility Plan. Phase I Improvements will address several of the plant deficiencies noted in the facility plan for the
secondary treatment units and solids handling systems. Additionally, the land-based outfall replacement work included in
the Phase I Improvement project is critical in addressing the outfall hydraulics. Replacing the undersized outfall piping is
necessary for the RECIPIENT to be able to accommodate the expected increase in flows based on the current rate of
growth of the system.
Overall Goal:
To improve water quality in the Columbia River through the construction of the RECIPIENT 's Wastewater Treatment
Facility by replacing components of the plant that have exceeded their useful life and expanding the plant to meet the
projected demand of the forecasted population growth.
