Mr. Ronald P. Ferland, P.E. and Charles E. Hortenstine, P.E. were the Engineers-of- Record for the  planning, permitting, design, bidding, financing and construction management of the 2.25 MGD Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility which discharges a portion of the highly treated effluent to a community reuse system with the remainder of the effluent discharged to the Indian River. The project consisted of preliminary planning, detailed design, permitting, grant and loan procurement, bidding and construction administration services. The facility includes a pretreatment system, a master pump station, a biological nutrient removal system, chlorination/ dechlorination system, post aeration system, effluent and reuse pumping and storage systems, a gravity belt thickening system, a diffused air aerobic digestion system, plant SCADA system, surface water outfall pipeline and related structures.

Notable Features:

• Pre-thicken sludge prior to digestion to reduce digester volume and achieve PSRP.
• Existing WWTP Structure (Cantex Plant) converted to reclaimed water storage tank.
• Extensive water quality modeling and permitting requirements for effluent discharge to Indian River Lagoon (highly protected surface water).
• Plant design and layout for phased expansions.

Construction Cost: $8,290,000
Completion Date: 1994
