The photo shows an overhead view of the progress made on construction of the Waste Water Treatment Facility at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Unlike most military construction projects at JBLM, which consist of constructing mission facilities on a project site, the WWTP is also a process facility. That means in addition to the challenges of constructing a 15-acre complex of interconnected facilities and infrastructure, Seattle District and contractor CDM-Smith are also designing and initiating an entirely new wastewater treatment process to comply with current operating permit criteria, while posturing the WWTP for future population growth and operating conditions 50 years or more into the future.
The current JBLM WWTP plant uses 1950s-1970s era
technology. The WWTP treatment plant upgrade will feature the most current technologies, ensuring the plant will meet current and future discharge requirements to protect water quality in the Puget Sound. Phase One construction of the WWTP upgrade is scheduled to be complete by March 2016.
