Objectives The Discharger owns and operates a wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal system, and provides sewage service to the City of Oroville, Thermalito Irrigation District, Lake Oroville Area Public Utility District, State of California Parks and Recreation Department, and State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as a regional treatment plant. The Dischargers responsibility for the collection system ends at the termination of its east and west interceptors, which consist of approximately 3.25 miles of pipe line and 2 pump stations (Rudy Creek and Feather River). An average dry weather flow of 3.2 million gallons per day (mgd) of treated domestic and industrial wastewater is discharged to the Feather River (Discharge 001), a water of the United States. The treatment system consists of screening for removal of large solids, grit removal, primary clarification, activated sludge treatment with secondary clarification, filtration, chlorination, and dechlorination. Sludge is aerobically treated, dried on site, and then disposed at a sanitary landfill.
