Document Description
The project is to apply the recycled water and biosolids treated at the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) at agronomic rates to a majority of a nearby approximately 313 acre parcel that is being purchased by MPUD. This is a form of recycled water reuse that is consistent with proper field-crop production and soil management. The recycled water and biosolids will be treated to the degree appropriate for their safe and beneficial reuse as irrigation water and soil amendment. The biosolids are created through aerobic and anaerobic processes in the MPUD treatment system. This reuse system would replace the disposal of treated effluent to an agricultural ditch that flows into an unnamed tributary to Lurline Creek, a practice that has been subject to increasing difficulties in maintaining compliance with surface water quality requirements due to the low flow in the receiving water and changes in regulations.
