Wastewater Engineering Projects
Sparta Township, New Jersey
Paulus, Sokolowski and Sartor (PS&S) has assisted the Board of Education in Sparta Township, Sussex County, New Jersey with various wastewater related projects for both new and existing schools, as the Township strives to meet the needs of continually increasing student enrollments. PS&S has provided planning, design, permitting and construction phase services associated with several recent projects, including:
Sparta Wastewater Management Plan (WMP) Amendment: PS&S prepared an amendment to the Township of Sparta's adopted WMP to provide for the termination of one of the existing High School wastewater treatment plant discharges and increase the service area of the second discharge to include a new Middle School.
Sparta Middle School Pump Station and Force Main: PS&S designed a pump station and force main to convey wastewater from a new 127,000 square foot middle school to an existing wastewater treatment plant located at Sparta High School, a distance of approximately 6,500 feet. The pump station includes two 175 gpm, 167 TDH, submersible pumps, variable frequency drives, sewage grinder, controls and an emergency generator. The facility also incorporates Bioxide® chemical feed for odor control. PS&S also provided all related permitting services to obtain the necessary construction and air permits for the new facilities.
Sparta High School Wastewater Facilities Design: PS&S provided planning, design, permitting and construction phase services for the interim improvement of High School wastewater treatment plant No.1 including septic/settling tank improvements, new filter dosing facilities and intermittent sand filter improvements. Modifications were required to increase the effective capacity of the plant in order to handle additional flows from the new middle school.
Sparta Alpine School Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement: PS&S provided planning, design, permitting, construction and start-up phase services for a new treatment plant designed to replace an existing extended aeration package plant. Due to age and deterioration, the existing facility could not operate efficiently or meet its discharge permit limitations. The newly installed plant is a batch process, capable of efficient operation and control, to ensure compliance with discharge permit limitations. The new plant includes the following main components:
- Influent equalization
- Sequencing batch reactor
- Sludge holding tank
- Filter Dosing Tank
- Effluent drum filter
- Ultraviolet disinfection system
- Chemical treatment system
