Actively Engaging DEP in Resolution
As of December 2010 the Woodridge Lake Sewer district Sewer Authority is still operating under the conditions of the consent order. Since the consent order was issued the district has been working with the engineering firm hired by the district on a scope of work relative to alternate plans for the handling of the discharge of the treated effluent. A number of studies have been commissioned over the last several years to better understand the challenges and options available to the district to include: in 1995 the “Ridge and Furrow Wastewater Disposal Facilities”, “Report on Hydraulic Capacity Analysis”; in 2001, “Engineering Report on Increase in Permitted Flow Capacity”; in 2002, “Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade and Modification of Non-Point Source Discharge System”, in 2005, “Engineering Study Wastewater Collection, Treatment and Disposal Alternatives, Volume 1 and Volume 2”.
The district is now, via the newly created Planning Committee and the Board, actively engaging the DEP in the resolution of the consent order issues.
