There is some news on the continuing issues with the Pierce Island(Portsmouth) sewerage treatment plant. .
There is little mention of the outfall pipe location from an environmental perspective after moving the poop to Pease. It is unacceptable to move the outfall pipe up river. It is beyond the pale to suggest it. The only option is to pipe the poop to Pease, treat it, then send it back to Pierce island and the existing outfall. It is so interesting to me that again Pease pops up. The Pease cracker jack team says , oh we have no problem with you sending poop. We know that you will do the right thing. That you will build a state of the art sewerage treatment plant. What is the current state of the Pease plant , does anyone know? I would like to know.
You cannot put an outfall up the River. The tide would carry it all the way back. Any gains the Great Bay has experienced will be erased.
The outfall pipe is the story.
This Post of mine received little interest back in May. Many people I have spoken with had scant or zip knowledge of this innovative solution. It can take all that storm water that cause CSO’s and treat it slowly. It takes huge pressure off the WWTP. I bet this method is also able to store & transport sewage. Chicago uses a huge tunnel I believe.The tunneling technology is knocked.
