Present Land Use
Existing General Plan designations and zoning for the site are Public Facilities. The current use is a 1 MGD secondary wastewater treatment facility. Surrounding land uses include open space to the east; single-family residential to the west and south; and Santa Rosa Creek, State Highway 1, the Cambria West Village Business District and single-family residential to the north. The site is approximately 0.25 mile east of the Pacific Ocean.
Document Description
The project is a minor modification to the existing wastewater treatment plant that eliminates the need to dispose of biosolids via land application and facilitates the removal of nitrates from the plant effluent. Micro-bubble technology will be used to facilitate complete digestion of biosolids on site at the Wastewater treatment plant. Modifications to the existing facility include the addition of an inert materials removal system consisting of a rotating screen and three (3) cyclones to the existing aeration basins. The inert material removal system will be mounted on a 880 sq. ft. concrete pad and the tallest part will be less than 22' high. A 270 sq. ft., concrete pad will be constructed for the mounting of the "Micronizer" equipment. This equipment is approximately 4' high. The final portion of the project would be the installation of a pipe loop assembly in an existing digester. The stainless steel used in fabricating the system will have a flat, non-glare finish.
