PUBLIC HEARING DATE: August 26, 2024
State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan Program:
Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority, Conway, SC,
Bucksport Wastewater Treatment Plant 10-MGD Expansion Project
SRF Project #381-82.
To all interested parties: this is notification that Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority (GSWSA) is required, as condition of the loan program to conduct a public meeting and/or hearing for this project. In lieu of a special meeting, this meeting and/or hearing may be conducted as an approved agenda item during a regular scheduled and noticed GSWSA board meeting, to discuss this project, which is open to the public. The project includes expanding the rated treatment capacity from 5-mgd to 10-mgd average design flow by installing a one addition influent pump, new preliminary treatment facility with screening and grit removal, a new splitter box, two oxidation ditches, a clarifier splitter box, two secondary clarifiers, a new return sludge pump station with three pumps, new sludge feed pumps, and two additional dewatering belt filter presses and associated ancillary equipment in the existing dewatering facility. The estimated cost is $85,000,000. This project is needed to improve address poor preliminary treatment, replace deteriorating equipment, enhance reliability and redundancy, and service area growth. GSWSA will finance a portion of the project with a loan from the SRF Loan Program with remaining costs, paid for with local funds. There are minimal environmental impacts expected as part of this project since work will take place entirely within the property boundary of the existing wastewater treatment plant site. The documentation supporting this project is posted and available for public review at the GSWSA administration office in Conway, SC. Any questions regarding this Notice should be directed to Nichole Boyd Clemons, at (843) 443-8258 or [email protected].
