The Wrightstown Sanitary District No. 1 needed to implement a chemical feed system for phosphorus removal in order to comply with the new, stricter effluent limits mandated by the State of Wisconsin, all while adhering to the operational deadline established by the Village’s Water Pollution Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit.

• New chemical feet building
• Two 2,500-gallon chemical storage tanks
• Chemical transfer pump
• Duplex chemical feed skid

REL effectively coordinated with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) throughout the planning, design, and installation phases of the chemical feed system aimed at phosphorus removal, ensuring compliance with the WPDES operational permit deadline.

During the Facility Plan stage of the project, a public hearing was organized to engage the community and provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed improvements, particularly the installation of a chemical feed system for phosphorus removal. The meeting aimed to outline the necessity of the project in response to stricter state effluent limits, highlighting the environmental and regulatory implications of phosphorus discharge on local water bodies. This stakeholder engagement ensured that the public was informed and invested in the project’s objectives, ultimately aiding in its support and successful implementation.

The Village of Whitelaw required a chemical feed system for phosphorus removal to meet stricter effluent limits from the State of Wisconsin before the operational deadline set by the Village’s WPDES permit.

In response to the growing demand from the rapidly developing Centennial Centre development, the Village of Hobart identified the need to increase its water supply capacity. This involved conducting thorough assessments of current water resources and infrastructure, exploring options for expansion or enhancement of existing supply systems, and potentially incorporating new water source developments to ensure that the increasing needs of the community are met efficiently and sustainably. The initiative aimed to support both current residents and future growth, facilitating the development’s success while maintaining reliable water service for the users.

A 500,000-gallon composite elevated storage tank was successfully constructed to enhance water supply for the Village of Hobart, accompanied by upgrades to the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that ensured operational continuity during power outages.

REL undertook the critical task of securing approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), and the Wisconsin Public Service Commission, which involved meticulous adherence to regulations and safety standards. This project not only improved water storage capacity but also bolstered the resilience of the water supply system, effectively supporting the needs of the Centennial Centre development and the broader community.

The City of Waupaca retained Robert E. Lee & Associates to prepare plans and specifications for the modifications to the existing anaerobic digester at the City of Waupaca wastewater treatment plant. The project included removal, re-coating, and reinstallation of the floating digester cover, the addition of sludge recirculation pumps, the addition of fixed, mounted mixing nozzles, and replacement of sludge piping.
