Overview of project This project will replace existing Stehekin Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) with a modern facility. Project scope includes demolition and removal of existing package skid and tanks, rehabilitation and upgrade of the building, and installation of new recirculating textile filter treatment system capable of meeting new discharge permit standards set by the State of Washington Department of Health (DOH). The new treatment system will be cost effective, simple to operate and capable of meeting new DOH groundwater discharge permit requirements. This project will also eliminate the biosolids handling process in favor of a primary tank to reduce overall operations and maintenance requirements.
