Space Launch Complex 6 Wastewater Treatment Facilities Evaluation, Vandenberg AFB, California.
Abstract
The USAFOEHL conducted a survey evaluating the wastewater treatment facility at the Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6), Vandenberg AFB, California. The scope of the survey included the evaluation of: (1) Plant influent and effluent quality, (2) Plant flows, (3) Lift station sewage quality, (4) Percolation pond water quality, (5) Percolation pond discharge flow rate. Results of the survey showed that the treatment plant was not meeting the State of California 'zero discharge' limitation because of hydraulic overloading. Hydraulic overloading was the probable cause of high suspended solids in the plant effluent. The percolation ponds ability to dispose of the wastewater suffered from this heavy solids loading. The long residence time in the lift station, and the surge of the flow to the plant caused by Life Station 1 adversely affected the treatment process. Keywords: Wastewater; Hazardous waste; Sewage treatment; Vandenberg.
