The purpose of the proposed project is to complete improvements to the existing wastewater system to provide performance to meet present day regulatory standards, to replace outdated and deteriorated systems, and minimize long term operation costs.
Project construction will involve replacing the current wastewater collection system in the first year with the future year(s) (within five years) project will consist of abandoning the existing lagoons, expanding the existing collection system in the Indianhead Ski Area, regionalize with the Blackjack Mountain Ski Area, and transmission to the BASA WWTP.
