Young Life Septic System

This multi-phase improvement project is for upgrades to different portions of a children’s camp sewer system in the Town of Santa Clara, NY, permitted at 30,000 gallons a day.

For the initial improvements, North Wood Engineering provided consulting services, which included a comprehensive review of the treatment system, review of water usage for the facility, different alternatives for treatment improvements, generation of a complete engineering report, plan and detail preparation, and permitting.  This initial project culminated in the construction of two lined wastewater lagoons, with vegetated floating island wetland systems to reduce nitrates and phosphorus in the effluent.

This improved design was approved by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

In addition to this improvement, design and permitting were accomplished for a section of force main replacement, and we are currently designing a replacement main pump station.
