WASTEWATER SYSTEMS

Wastewater System Improvements, Red Hills State Park

The project included demolishing the park's existing sewage treatment plant and constructing a new aerated two-cell lagoon type plant. The new plant also provided a rock filter and chlorination/dechlorination facilities. The project also included two new sewage pump stations and related force mains, plus a new septic tank. S&A's project tasks included preparing a program analysis report, completing bidding documents, and obtaining all IEPA permits including a lagoon exemption. S&A also provided construction administration, construction observation, and start-up assistance.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade, Catlin

The project included expanding the plant's existing storm water lagoon from 800,000 gallons of volume to 1.6 million gallons of capacity. Also included was a new comminutor, a new storm water flow meter, a new flow-paced storm water chlorination system, new valving and controls for storm water lagoon draining, and the conversion of the plant's existing activated sludge package plants from contact stabilization to extended aeration operation. Also, S&A is renovating the wastewater treatment plant to comply with the current IEPA standards for treatment. To accomplish this, two aerobic digesters are being added to the treatment plant. The digesters will enable Catlin to maintain its current treatment capacity rating. In addition to the renovation work required by the IEPA, modifications are being performed on the sludge drying beds to make handling sludge more convenient for the operator. S&A project tasks included completing bidding documents and obtaining all IEPA permits. S&A also will provide construction administration, construction observation, and start-up assistance.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, Excess Flow System, Villa Grove

The project included constructing a new storm water division structure, a storm water clarifier, a chlorine building, a storm water sludge pump station, a storm water chlorine contact tank, a new emergency generator, modifications to the plant's non-potable water system, plus miscellaneous site improvements. S&A's project tasks include completing bidding documents, compiling construction cost opinions, and obtaining all IEPA permits. S&A also coordinated with the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission in obtaining a DCCA CDAP Public Facilities Grant. S&A also will provide construction administration, construction observation, and start-up assistance.

Wastewater System, Thomasboro

The project consists of providing sanitary sewer service to the entire developed area of this Village of 1250 people. The Village is presently served by septic tanks that are chronically failing. The project is expected to include the construction of 31,700 total L.F. of sanitary sewers, two submersible pump stations and 4.3 miles of 8-inch force main. The Village proposes to pump all flows to the Village of Rantoul's wastewater system for complete treatment.
S&A prepared the Preliminary Engineering Report and presented the report's finding to the public at two public information meetings. S&A has completed the design of the collection system and final design for the pump stations is underway. S&A also will prepare specifications and bidding documents, as well as provide IEPA Revolving Fund loan assistance. In addition, S&A will complete bid phase assistance and construction administration. Recently the village received a $285,000 legislative grant and a $400,000 CDAP grant.
