Wastewater Treatment and Discharge Survey, Offutt AFB NE, Oct 1973,

Abstract

During 1-12 May 1972 a wastewater treatment survey was performed at Offutt AFB NE by the USAF Environmental Health Laboratory, Kelly AFB TX. This survey report describes the quality and quantity of domestic and industrial wastes generated by the base, evaluates the effectiveness of existing treatment, and recommends continued plans for the base's participation in joining the regional treatment plant of Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency. Particular emphasis is given to quantitating the domestic sewage characteristics, improving the base secondary sewage treatment plant efficiency, and quantitating the untreated wastewater discharges from a lime/alum water softening plant. A water pollution sampling program is outlined with emphasis on industrial waste sources. (Author)
