Sewage Lagoon Upgrade
January 28, 2002 Update
SEWAGE LAGOON UPGRADE RECEIVES NEEDED FUNDS.
By focusing on priority seismic work and postponing other seismic upgrades, the board recently approved moving $700,000 remaining in the seismic fund to the Sewage Lagoon Upgrade Project. In so doing, $1.3 million is available for installation of a pre-engineered package treatment plant. Used successfully for decades, package treatment plants work well in small, uniformly loaded systems such as LCC's lagoons. The plant will disinfect sewage, reduce levels of alga, and dechlorinate wastewater before its release into Russel Creek. During the summer, the lagoons will store processed effluent before filtering, disinfecting, and pumping it into the playfield irrigation system. The upgrade is needed because the lagoon system, built approximately 30 years ago, no longer complies with DEQ standards for effluent discharge. The project is expected to go out to bid in the spring of 2003 and reach completion approximately one year later.
Questions and comments about any bond construction activity may be directed to 744-4154 or e-mailed to bond@lanecc.edu. All communication received will be regularly reviewed by the Bond Project Management Team (BPMT), the architects, and the Facilities Management Committee.
