Rolling A WWTP Pond Modifications

The 210 ft. wide by 400 ft. long pond was originally design as an aerated bio-solids lagoon. The pond was receiving about 40,000 gpd of waste activated sludge and was aerated with shaft-propeller style aerators. The aerators were mixing solids/ sludge due to the shallow depth of the pond. The pond was odorous and the County had received several complaints from adjacent property Owners. A substantial turnover occurred in the pond resulting in substantial odors and solids build up on the pond surface.

HCE provided design services to remedy the activated sludge pond. Improvements included raising the level of the pond, modifications to pond piping and improved aeration. The construction required a Dam Safety Permit issued by the State of Nevada.
