Description:
1
P2 Application:
1
Environmental Benefits:
Elimination of storm water discharges from the plant will reduce any potential environmental degradation to a receiving stream. Reuse of runoff from the cement plant will replace nearly 25% of the required volumes of process water resulting in a 200,000 gallon per day reduction in potable groundwater usage. With a pipeline system from CMWTP to the cement plant, almost one million gallons per day of groundwater will be conserved. In addition, discharge of treated effluent from CMWTP will be eliminated.
