Introduction:

The Forest Service is contracting wastewater operations oversight and monitoring with a Minnesota certified operator for our Class D Facility at Norway Beach Recreation Area near Cass Lake.

Facility Layout:

Norway Beach Recreation Area Treatment Plant #MN0052701 serves four campgrounds, one trailer dump station, a picnic area bathroom and Visitor Center. The Recreation complex is open from May 1 through the end of September.

The treatment system is a three-cell stabilization pond system. There are four lift stations that are part of the operation. One serves Cass Lake Campground and is in the bathroom building chase way. The other three lift stations are located out of doors. Each has two submersible pumps and a control panel. One is in front of the Norway Beach Visitor Center, which takes wastewater from the Cass Lake Campground, the picnic area bathroom, and Norway Beach Visitor Center. Norway Beach Campground also has a lift station that takes water from the Cass Lake and VIC lift stations as well as two Norway Beach bathrooms/showers and the dump station. This lift station line goes to Cell 1 at the wastewater plant. The final lift station is at W Anaki campground, which serves Chippewa and W Anaki bathrooms/showers and pushes effluent into cell 1.

The treatment plant consists of three ponds. Cell 1 and Cell 2 are aerated. The volume of these ponds is approximately 100,000 and 500,000 gallons respectively. Cell 3 is a finishing pond that holds 40,000 gallons. Water from here is sprayed onto four peat/sand filter beds. The beds have a total area of 0.72 acres. The ponds are designed for an average flow of 42,250 gallons per day (gpd) with a five-day biochemical oxygen demand strength of approximately 445 milligrams per liter (mg/I). The facility is over-designed. The flow to the plant is estimated at 5,000 gpd during the 120-day season or 600,000 gallons per season. The plant is a Class D facility, MPCA permit #0052701.
