2.1 Background Flow Equalization Basin (EQ) Alternative
The existing EQ basin is at operational limits for the current flows, with a storage
volume deficient of 240,000 gallons. Additional equalization volume is required to
provide the ability to continue consistent facility performance. This project was
identified in the 2019 WWTP Facility Plan update and consists of constructing one
75-FT diameter tank which provides 395,000 gallons ❑f additional equalization basin
storage. Design of the 75-FT diameter EQ tank will include considerations for
future conversion to a primary clarifier anticipated for the year 2030. Once the
75-FT diameter tank is converted to primary clarification (in the future), the
existing rectangular clarifiers adjacent to the existing EQ basin will be modified
for additional equalization basin capacity.
