Decentralized system installed at county park

Problem: Live Oak Landing, a rural, riverfront Baldwin County-owned park in Stockton, Alabama, is popular with boaters and fishermen and hosts numerous fishing tournaments annually. A 2,500-gpd wastewater treatment system design was needed to service the proposed new facilities including a 24-site RV park, public restrooms, an expanded boat ramp and fish-cleaning stations, a pavilion, restaurant, and cottages. The large daily flow coupled with site challenges including a high water table, poor soils, and the Tensaw River Watershed location impacted the ultimate system design.

Solution: Due to environmental sensitivity of the area, pretreatment was required. The system includes a lift station at the RV park to pump the effluent from the RV site to the disposal area, three 4,600-gallon concrete tanks, an Orenco Systems Advantex AX100, and 1,000 feet of Infiltrator Water Technologies Quick4 Plus Low Profile chambers with low-pressure piping.  

Result: The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Association utilized the installation as a CEU-credit education opportunity for area installers, many of whom had never seen a large system installation or one incorporating low pressure pipe in chambers or chambers after advanced treatment. North Baldwin Utilities participated in the system design and will manage the system moving forward. 800-221-4436; www.infiltratorwater.com.
