| 5428.00 | Swan Lake Water Treatment Plant Wastewater Disposal | Rural Municipality of Lorne | September 15, 2009 | November 25, 2009 | A Proposal has been filed by J. R. Cousin Consultants Ltd. on behalf of the Rural Municipality of Lorne for the disposal of wastewater from the Swan Lake water treatment plant. Backwash water from the plant’s manganese greensand filter system is currently discharged to the community’s wastewater treatment lagoon. It is proposed to redirect this backwash water through a buried pipeline along the north and west edges of the community to the southwest corner of the community where it would discharge to a creek which is a tributary of the Pembina River. Weeping tile water from the plant and the school would also be discharged to this location using the same pipeline. Backwash water consists of treated water with elevated levels of manganese removed by the treatment process. Approximately 4,600 litres of backwash water is generated once every three days by the plant, which is not being otherwise changed by the project. It is proposed to begin redirecting the backwash water in the fall of 2009 | Main, Millenium Library/Manitoba Eco-Network//South Central Regional Library/ R.M. of Lorne Contact : Bruce Webb @ 945-7021 |
| 36.40 | Town of Emerson | Wastewater Treatment Lagoon | September 25, 2009 | December 1, 2009 | A proposal was filed on behalf of the Town of Emerson for the expansion and upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment lagoon located on River Lots 9 and 11, Parish of Sainte Agathe in the Town of Emerson. The proposed expansion consists of the construction of one new, additional secondary cell that will be located immediately west of the existing wastewater treatment lagoon. The proposed upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment lagoon consists of repairing portions of the dykes, raising the existing dykes to provide improved flood protection, and adding a truck dump facility. It is also proposed that the method of discharging the wastewater treatment lagoon will change in that discharge will now be via existing ditches rather than pipeline. Treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment lagoon will be discharged to the Red River between June 15th and November 1st of any year. |
