An authentic Old World German-style destination bewery in Fredericksburg, TX, opened to the public in the fall of 2019. The 100-acre site features a fine dining restaurant, biergarten, and private event space. As the brewery expanded from a production-only facility to a destination brewery they needed a wastewater treatment system capable of meeting the expected growing demands of the property.
An ECOPOD E50-N was installed in 2018 to treat a daily flow of 500 GPD from a two-bedroom home plus office. Two people reside in the home and an additional two people work daily in the office Monday through Friday. This system receives basic domestic wastewater from the home and adjoining office.
Hattiesburg (MS) Laurel Regional Airport Authority had an undersized 20,000 GPD wastewater
treatment system servicing the airport and local business park. Treated effluent discharges to a
Pascagoula River Basin tributary. When the Authority applied for an updated permit for an increased
flow of 50,000 GPD, the State conducted a waste load allocation study and imposed more stringent
permit parameters including increasing BOD from 30 mg/L to 14 mg/L, 6.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen level and 2.0 mg/L total ammonia levels, and nutrient monitoring.
ECOPOD Advanced Wastewater Treatment System Enables Campground to Meet Regulatory Requirements to Protect Imperiled Mussel Population
A new AutoCamp glamping facility just outside the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park in San Bernardino, California required a wastewater treatment system that could handle daily flows from the 55 Airstream campers estimated at 100 gallons per day (GPD) per Airstream. Located in a sensitive environment that included large, mature tree growth, the system also needed to provide minimum disruption to the landscape and visual impact to guests.
Pelican Park in Mandeville, Louisiana is a 550-acre community park with 32 athletic fields, two gyms, and a 46,000 square foot multipurpose community center. The community park also includes an 18-hole disc golf course and parking for more than 1,700 vehicles. Nearly 35 years ago, the community installed a 3,000 gallon per day Delta Package Sewage Treatment Plant to serve park operations at that time.
The Lauloa Ma’alaea Resort in Hawaii was required to update their wastewater treatment unit due to tighter effluent requirements required in a forthcoming permit update. The existing treatment unit to be replaced was installed below grade in the resort’s parking lot. Due to limited space on the site, this was also the only possible location for a new system.
The custom-designed Package Treatment Plant was built at the factory and shipped to the project site as a self-contained unit and required little assembly.
A coastal retreat community located on the shores of Hawaii was looking to remove large capacity cesspools that serviced their vacation lodging facilities. The goal was to replace them with a technology that provided improved water quality in order to protect beaches and waterfront enjoyed by approximately 500,000 recreational users annually. The technology had to be mindful of sensitive ecological constraints and stringent regulations while protecting and maintaining ancient Hawaiian burials and cultural resources.
Farm Island sits in Farm Island Lake north of Minneapolis. Septic Check, Milaca, Minnesota was contracted to design and install a new onsite system for a 1,400-square foot year-round recreational dwelling. Most installation work in Minnesota stops during the winter, but Septic Check waited for winter to enable transporting project materials over the frozen lake to the island site.
