Wastewater Disinfection Facility Plan

Snyder & Associates has been contracted to offer engineering services in connection with the Wastewater Disinifection Facility Plan.  The City's wastewater treatment plant operates an AeroMod System in parallel with an aerated lagoon system whihc ultimately discharges into Spring Creek.  The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is currently increasing Water quality standards, and prior to the issuance of a revised NPDES permit, a USE Assessment and Use Attainability Analysis (UA/UAA) must be completed for the receiving stream.
At this time the UA/UAA for recreational uses has been completed for Spring Creek.  Analysis of the data has indicated a desigination of Secondary Contact Recreation Use to be appropriate for this receiving stream indicating that there likely will be more stringent bacterial permit limits in any future NPDES permit.
Also, an evaluation of the existing AeroMod blowers including possible modification, replacment, addition of a third blower for redundancy, and housing of the units within a building will be performed.
In order to determine what improvements may be necessary, as well as to obtain IDNR approval for improvements and to assist in qualificaiton for various financing assistance programs, a wastewater Facility Plan must be prepared.
