| Objectives | The City of Chico operates a wastewater treatment plant in Section 6, T21N, R1E, MDB&M. The treatment plant presently treats an average dry weather flow of 6.5 mgd. Treated effluent is discharged to the Sacramento River in Section 2, T21N, R1E, MDB&M (Discharge 001). The Discharger has the ability to discharge treated effluent to the M&T Canal, an irrigation ditch (Discharge 002). Discharge to the canal is typically for emergency use and has occurred only once in the past 20 years. Liquid treatment processes at the plant include raw sewage screening for removal of large solids, grit removal, primary clarification, activated sludge treatment with secondary clarification, and chlorination/dechlorination. Sludge is treated using anaerobic digestion, mechanically dewatered and taken to a Class III landfill. |
