DESCRIPTION
Before the Yakama Indian Nation built their own WWTP, their wastewater was sent to the City of Toppenish’s RBC plant. With the expansion of the Legends Casino Resort, the Tribe (true stewards of the environment) built an MBR System that produces reuse quality water even though it was not required. The entire infrastructure is built for 360,000 gpd,
but only membrane capacity for half that. The effluent is sent to an irrigation canal. The biosolids produced from the MBR System are sent to a PAD-K (Pre-thickened aerobic digestion with membrane thickening) before going to a belt filter press, followed by a dryer, and then used to fertilize casino lawns. To reduce odors from the solids handling facility, the Tribe uses a simple biofilter system
