3.2.2.1.1. There is one wastewater system each at Tiller Ranger Station and Wolf Creek Job Corps. Each system at Tiller and Wolf Creek consists of an extended aeration package-type treatment plant coupled with a physical/chemical polishing unit which uses alum, soda ash and PAC. Disinfection is accomplished using sodium hypochlorite (12 1/2%).

Both of these plants have dechlorination systems as required by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality; and both plants have sludge holding tanks which require periodic pumping and disposal off Forest land at a State approved site (note: the Wolf Creek Job Corps plant has the ability to dewater sludge in a manner that does not typically require commercial pumping, see below). All sewage is from domestic wastes.

Wolf Creek has one remote pump station (approximately ½ mile from the treatment plant) and one on-site pump station. It also has a sludge lagoon/subsurface disposal field. Additionally, geotextile dewatering bags, added to the system in 2012, are used to further dewater sludge before transport (see Exhibit 13). This site has a year-round mess hall with associated grease trap, office, support buildings, dormitories and residences.

3.2.2.1.3. The Tiller plant has a design flow of 29,000 GPD with average measured flows of 11,000 GPD. It also has one remote pump station approximately 1/8 mile from the treatment plant. The site has year-round residences, office and support buildings and crew houses with kitchen facilities.

3.2.2.1.4. A new wastewater treatment system is planned for the Tiller Ranger District with construction anticipated to begin in 2026 and full implementation by Spring of 2027. The new WW system will upgrade the existing collection system by adding two new pumping stations to reroute wastewater from the main Tiller complex and the Mill Hill bunkhouse to a new treatment facility on Mill Hill. The new facility will include Orenco AX100 treatment units with final disposal to a soil absorption drainfield.

Operation and Maintenance of this system will be bid under a separate line item.
