Renovation of a water / sewer project in Forks, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

New Digester. Recommendation is to install this in conjunction with aerated lagoon improvements to ensure operations during the installation of the lagoons new double liner. Two approaches were suggested. One is the installation of a new FKC screw press system that would be of a size to process the proposed expansions discussed in the Facility Plan. This option would require replacing the screw press, as well as installing new sludge holding tanks, feeding pump, polymer system, flocculation tank and boiler skid. Estimated cost is $920,000 for this option. The second option is to construct a new aerobic digester that would produce Class B biosolids that would then be processed within the existing screw press. This option would create a level of redundancy that is lacking with the Class A screw press system. It is estimated that this option would cost $814,000 and is the option reflected above.
