When the area served by the Sturgeon Point Water Treatment Plant required more water, improvements had to be made. But these improvements had to be in compliance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and with regulations of the New York State Dept. of Health. Determining wastewater characteristics and constructing and evaluating primary concentration facilities were the first steps in achieving a “zero discharge” of wastewater to Lake Erie. Part 2 of this report will appear next month.
In order to improve the Sturgeon Point Water‐Treatment Plant in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, the available alum‐sludge treatment‐and‐disposal methods were evaluated by pilot plant studies. These evaluations are presented in this part of this report. Part 1 appeared last month and Part 3 will appear next month.
Completing a three‐part series concerning the improvement of the Sturgeon Point Water‐Treatment Plant in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, Part 3 summarizes the economic evaluation of the project.
