Project Description:

The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination, subject to public comment or other information, to approve an application to install and operate a temporary well point dewatering system to facilitate the conversion of an existing headworks building into a permanent pump station, and to facilitate the construction of the bypass pump station and adjacent yard piping at the Long Beach Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). The project is part of the Bay Park Conveyance Project, in which wastewater from the City of Long Beach will be diverted to the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility (formerly Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant) for treatment via a conveyance pipe under Reynold's Channel.

The dewatering system will consist of 27 deep well points installed to an approximate depth of 60 feet below grade, and all water from this system shall pass through an 18,000-gallon settling tank prior to discharging into the Long Beach WPCP outfall that leads to Reynolds Channel. The maximum discharge shall not exceed 3,146,400 gallons per day for a total of 14 months. The project is proposed at 2 West Pine Street, City of Long Beach, Nassau County, NCTM# 59-278-29.
