Description:

  The Middle River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant provides wastewater treatment for the City of Staunton and the Verona Service Area. The design capacity is 6.8 mgd, which is comprised of 0.8 mgd from a Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) and 6.0 mgd from a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) activated sludge train. If both treatment trains are operating, the effluents are combined prior to disinfection and are discharged through a common outfall to Middle River. For the activated sludge train, the wastewater flow enters the plant through a 36-inch gravity sewer line into an Aqua Guard Bar/Filter Screen with compactor. It is pumped to the influent flow splitter box before entering the two triple-channel oxidation ditch basins followed by secondary clarification (3 units) and then UV disinfection. The RBC train has a primary clarifier prior to the RBCs followed by secondary clarification and disinfection. The Biosolids treatment process for both trains consist of aerobic digestion followed by either belt filter press thickening in preparation for land application or belt filter press dewatering with the biosolids transported to the landfill and mixed with soil and wood chips for a soil augmentation program.
