| Objectives | The towns of East Quincy and Quincy are located in Plumas County, on Highway 70, approximately
70 miles northwest of Reno, Nevada, and 50 miles northeast of Oroville. Quincy and East Quincy are at
the southern boundary of the Cascade Mountains, in American Valley, at an approximate elevation of
3,500 feet. Average annual precipitation in the area is 40 inches, a portion of which falls as snow.
Spanish Creek is the predominant surface water feature in the area, and flows in an easterly and
northeasterly direction on the western boundary of Quincy and American Valley. The population of
Quincy is approximately 1,879 and East Quincy population is approximately 2,572 (2000 census).
Both Quincy and East Quincy have separate community services districts for collection of wastewater,
the Quincy Community Services District (QCSD), and the East Quincy Community Services District
(EQCSD), respectively. The treatment plant is operated under a joint powers agreement between the
two districts by the American Valley Services Authority.
The QCSD owns and operates the wastewater treatment plant. Due to the primarily residential and light commercial
uses in both towns, the wastewater discharged to the treatment plant is predominately domestic. The
biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, and settleable solids are therefore relatively
predictable. Additionally, no significant concentrations of priority pollutants or other organic
compounds are expected in the Plant influent or effluent. |
