Broad Scope of Work
The Naco Sanitary District and Bisbee are working on an Integrated Regional Transboundary Wastewater Mitigation Plan. This is a regional project which is attempting to mitigate major water quality issues within a sole source aquifer which impacts Naco, Sonora, Naco, AZ, and Bisbee. This sole source aquifer has been polluted by a spreading sulfate plume which has impacted water quality for these communities in addition to many private wells.
These entities are working towards an interconnected, regional wastewater treatment plant including constructed wetlands to eliminate the effluent discharge into what’s called the Green Bush Draw, connect pipelines to Naco, Sonora WWTPs to address emergencies, construct wetland lagoons for sulfate mitigation and recharge treated effluent into a positive hydro-static pressure dome to protect further spreading of the sulfate plume.
Ms. Patience was occupied and not available for the Officer Manager’s Report.
