Center Sanitation District was struggling for years with a non-compliant lagoon system. The existing facility had chronic BOD, TIN, and E. Coli violations of their groundwater discharge permit. The district was issued a Notice of Violation Cease and Desist Order for the length and severity of these violations.
Our team was tasked with creating a long-term financially sustainable solution for the district that didn’t break the bank. To complete this challenge, we implemented a first of its kind system in the United States: the BIOCOS Hybrid Activated Sludge System. With the implementation of the new facility, including a new headworks, secondary treatment process, tertiary filtration and UV disinfection, the district has achieved complete compliance. Electricity costs have been reduced from the old lagoon system, and all compliance issues have been closed.
