Fall River opens up historical Water Dept. buildings at an open house. Here's how to join.

FALL RIVER — If you’ve ever wanted to get a closer look at some of the city’s most unique historical buildings , now’s your chance. 

The Fall River Water Department is hosting an open house of some of its oldest and newest properties, including the city’s castle-like water tower and its brand new headquarters.  

The open house will be held Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to noon. Tours begin at 1620 Bedford St., at the intersection of Stonehaven Road. There is no fee to join in.

Saving history: From churches to mills, these 13 places in Fall River are at risk of losing historic value

What will visitors be able to see? 

Open to the public will be:  

• The 1875 standpipe, a 120-foot tower not far from Stonehaven Road. The tower’s interior features a winding staircase leading to a balcony near its top, and it’s capped by a copper roof. It was used to pump water to some of the city's highest-elevated neighborhoods; 
• The 1873 pumping station, which 150 years ago began taking in water from North Watuppa Pond and feeding it into the city’s water system. The building still contains antique pumping equipment from its early days; 
• The water treatment plant, located along North Watuppa Pond. The building is where the city’s drinking water is processed before being delivered to homes; 
• The city’s new Water Department maintenance facility, which opened in recent months. The building replaced an aging headquarters built in the 1920s. 

While the historic buildings are city property, they are usually off-limits to the public due to their delicate condition.

In January, Paul Ferland, director of Community Utilities, said he welcomed residents to call and ask for tours of Water Department properties . 

“I like to use any type of tours that I do as an educational moment to try to teach people, when they turn the faucet on, how the water comes out," Ferland said.

Federal officials tour newly online Richard Mine AMD treatment Plant

Rachel Pell | Thursday, April 25, 2024

MORGANTOWN – The new Richard Mine acid mine drainage treatment plant began operation last week, and on Monday, officials from the U.S. Department of Interior and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement toured the site in advance of a special DOI announcement (see companion story).

“This pretty much will help restore the lower end of the watershed,” Jonathan Knight, with the state Department of Environmental Protection Office of Abandoned Mine Lands told the officials.

Knight gave a brief history of the mine and the efforts to get the plant built, culminating in a Natural Resources Conservation Service partnership with the DEP to get it built. The DEP’s Office of Special Reclamation helped design the site.

AML’s Travis Parsons led the tour, which began at the mine portal manhole where the mine water previously flowed down a concrete trench into Deckers Creek. Above the channel, the water was clear, below it the water was orange.

Now, he showed the group, the water is diverted off to the right (in the downstream direction) and underground through a 12-inch line into a manhole, then to another manhole – the metering manhole – where the water flow is measured before heading into the plant. At the moment it was just over 900 gallons per minute.

The plant crew uses the flow rate to determine some aspects of treatment, he said.

Inside the plant, the water heads over toward the big solo to bring the pH up so it’s no longer acid. Hydrated lime comes down from the silo and is mixed with water to create a lime slurry that is pumped to rapid mix tanks to join the mine water.

The water heads to the flocculators, where the suspended solids are aggregated into larger clumps called flocs. From there, the water goes to the two clarifying pools. The visitors looked down into the pools to see plumes of brown sludgy water flowing in.

In the clarifiers, the sludge settles out and gets pumped to two huge geotube bags situated outside at the edge of the plant. The now-clean water gets pumped back into the creek – through a new channel downstream of the old one.

Parsons led the group into motor control center – the brains of the plant, he called it. A computer server sits inside a gray metal cabinet and the monitor allows the operator to scroll through various screens and see every piece of equipment and make adjustments. Operators will also be able to access this screen from their cellphones and iPads and laptops and make adjustments remotely.

The Richard Mine Complex, Knight told the group, will also become the central hub to remotely control other AMD sites.

“With the exception of this plant, all of our systems are very primitive,” he said. They have a contract to replace six systems with fully automated systems that will all communicate with this one. They expect to have the sites upgraded and tied in within the next two to three years.

DEP also has stream restoration projects planned for downstream on Deckers Creek. Among them: Farther downstream, the Rock Forge mine on the other side across W.Va. 7 is dumping into the creek and saturating backyards and basements of homes along the road.

An orange-colored wet spot crossing the road shows where the mine is draining. They plan to capture the runoff from it and pump it back to the Richard plant for treatment.

And further upgrades are planned for the complex, he told them. Existing buildings will be upgraded and used for storage and equipment. They plan to pave the gravel parking lot. And the whole site will be fenced off for security.

A third clarifier, in an attached building, is not yet online. This one will be used for extracting rare earth elements – a project tied to WVU Water Research Institute’s rare earth element production project. The extracted material will be formed into a preconcentrate and then shipped to a central facility for processing and refining into rare earth metals...

Provo aiming to clean up Utah Lake with state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility

Water will start being put through the plant in early fall so the facility can be tested before it starts processing sewage at the end of march 2025.

By Cassidy Wixom , KSL.com

A new secondary process wastewater treatment plant is being built that aims to help clean up Utah Lake.

The more than $83 million "state-of-the-art" facility is a collaboration between Provo, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.

Provo's existing plant is more than 50 years old and lacks the ability to remove phosphorus and nitrogen, the two chemicals that contribute to algal blooms in the lake. New regulations also require water treatment facilities to limit phosphate levels, resulting in Provo needing an upgrade.

The upgraded facility at 1685 S. East Bay Boulevard — the same location as the old water reclamation facility — will be able to process about 16 million gallons of sewage a day.

The new structure will eventually hold three bioreactors. Two are being constructed, and the facility will be supplemented by the existing reactor until further funds can be gathered to make the third.

Sewage is brought into primary clarifiers at the existing plant and will soon be treated at the new secondary process facility. Water is then transferred to be disinfected at a UV site before being released into a canal that leads to Provo Bay.

Jenny Calderon, with Waterworks Engineers, helped design the plant and said the membrane bioreactor plant uses biological processes with microbes and bacteria to consume "the undesirable things" in the wastewater.

The new reactors have different zones that allow operators to select for different bacteria so the plant will be able to reduce phosphorus by about 80% and significantly lower nitrogen levels.

KC Becker, regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, said the upgrades will ultimately lead to a cleaner Utah Lake.

"It's not the type of thing that residents may normally ever think about, but when it is up and running, they're going to see over the next few years a big improvement in the conditions in Utah Lake," she said. "And that's great to see."

Becker said the project was funded by the state's revolving fund and money from Congress's bipartisan infrastructure law, which has given out around $60 billion to various projects across the country.

John Mackey, Division of Water Quality director for the Department of Environmental Quality, said nutrients in Utah Lake will be better controlled by what Provo is doing with this investment project.

"This is a brand new plant that will be replacing a plant that is 50 years old. It was getting tired, and the technology was old. Here we are putting in new technology so we can be more effective and efficient in treating of wastewater," he said.

As the second-largest wastewater treatment plant in the state, Provo’s facility will make a “meaningful” difference through the improvements being made.

"This reduced pollution load will have an improvement in the water," he said.

Mackey described phosphorus as a type of fertilizer and nutrient that contributes to algae growth. When the system gets out of balance and there's too much fertilizer, "We get the wrong organisms flourishing, and the right organisms tend to suffer. So this will help make it harder for those harmful algae to proliferate," he said.

Calderon said water will start being put through the plant in early fall so the facility can be tested before it starts processing sewage at the end of March 2025. The city first broke ground on the new facility in 2020.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Ventura considering $13.3M design deal for water purification plant

The Ventura City Council could approve a $13.3 million agreement with an environmental engineering firm on Tuesday to design a specialized water treatment facility . 

The so-called Advanced Water Purification Facility is the cornerstone of the city's VenturaWaterPure program. The overall effort will recover and treat wastewater for reuse, reducing discharges of effluent into the Santa Clara River estuary and creating a reliable new supply.

The council will consider staff’s recommendation to hire Hazen and Sawyer, a New York-based firm that specializes in water projects, to start designing the purification plant. The agreement is for just over $12 million plus an additional $1.2 million for contingencies, totaling about $13.3 million in all.

In November , city officials estimated the cost of the VenturaWaterPure program had risen at least $182 million more than previously budgeted. The price increased from $374.4 million during the 2022 fiscal year to $556.9 million. Inflation, bids and project design costs all went up, officials said.

Ventura water commissioner George Amandola, who opposed the city’s support of the project, resigned in February .

The program is a result of a 2012 legal settlement with Wishtoyo Foundation’s Ventura Coastkeeper Program and Heal the Bay over discharges into the Santa Clara River estuary. Under terms of the settlement, construction of the water purification facility should be completed by the end of 2027, according to a staff report.

The new facility, which will treat water to potable quality, will be built on a 10-acre parcel at the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Olivas Park Drive. The city plans to annex the site. A system of pipelines will connect the treatment plant with the rest of the project, which includes an ocean outfall and other components.

In other news, the council on Tuesday will also consider paying an additional $90,000, for a total of $150,000 , to the law firm of Rutan & Tucker, who represent the city in a lawsuit involving a Ventura community group.

Livable Ventura is suing the city over its approval of a six-story downtown apartment project with some affordable units. The lawsuit, filed in September in Ventura County Superior Court, alleges the city's Planning Division and the council violated state laws on housing density and environmental review in approving the project. A court trial is set for 8 a.m. Friday, court records show.

Tuesday’s meeting will be the council's first regular session since council members fired former City Attorney Andrew Heglund during a special closed-session meeting on April 13. Heglund, 51, is being investigated for an alleged indecent exposure incident reported on April 10 inside a Ventura Chick-fil-A restaurant.

Miles Hogan, senior assistant city attorney, was appointed as acting city attorney. Hogan will give a report about the actions taken during the closed session meeting, Mayor Joe Schroeder said last week.

The meeting starts at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 501 Poli St.

Project Summary

Hawk Run, located within the 275 square mile Moshannon Creek watershed, is one of the many streams that have been impacted by the extensive coal mining operations that began in the early 1800’s and continue to the present day. Designated as an abandoned mine land (AML), it constitutes a significant source of acid mine drainage (AMD) within Hawk Run and the neighboring tributaries of Moshannon Creek. Hawk Run’s discharge, specifically associated with the Morrisdale Coal Company’s mine complex, introduces significant amounts of metals and acidity into the stream, leading to serious problems for the surrounding environment, biodiversity of aquatic life, and water quality.

Our designed mine water treatment plant has the objective of ensuring compliance with effluent standards, specifically to neutralize the acidity of the mine water, and to remove metals and suspended solids. We also aimed to optimize the treatment unit sizings and implement cost effective measures.

-Data collection: data was sourced from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) Mine Drainage Portal and the Coldwater Conservation Plan (CCP). -Assessment of topographic and subsurface features. -System Design: a process flow diagram was created to outline the treatment facility including Maelstrom Oxidizer tanks, a lime silo system, reaction tanks, flocculating clarifiers, a polymer feed system, and a settling pond/aerobic wetland. -Unit sizings: AMDTreat was utilized alongside manual calculations to size treatment units. -Cost and land usage estimations: AMDTreat was utilized to estimate treatment unit costs and required land usage.

After careful evaluation of design alternatives, our company developed the optimal design for a mine water treatment plant. Our design is the most cost-effective, environmentally safe, and community-friendly solution. The treatment facility enforces effluent standards, optimizes unit sizings, and is overall the leading option.
