Remington Treatment Facility      
                                  

 The permittee previously operated a 0.275 MGD, Class II, earthen basin extended aeration (Biolac-R) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with effluent chlorination and dechlorination facilities. The Town of Remington’s WWTP has undergone an expansion based on a Construction Permit issued by the Office of Water Quality (Permit Approval L-0185) on September 9, 2003.  With completion of construction the permittee is operating a Class II, 0.429 MGD wastewater treatment plant with a peak flow rating of 1.430 MGD.  This facility consists of a main lift station, a magnetic influent flow meter, a grit chamber, a fine screen, an influent flow splitter box followed by one Biolac basin, and two secondary clarifiers followed by post aeration.  Disinfection is by chlorine gas with dechlorination by sulfur dioxide gas.  Final effluent is measured by a parshall flume flow meter.  Sludge is treated in two aerobic digesters accompanied by two sludge drying beds and a sludge storage tank.  Ultimate disposal is by land application on three privately owned sites in Jasper County.  Standby power will be by separate 500 KW generator.  The old .275 MGD basin is not being used now, but can be in the future when needed.
