Torrance State Hospital – New Wastewater Treatment Plant

DGS proposes to build a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at the Torrance State Hospital. The new WWTP will be situated adjacent to the hospital’s existing WWTP, with effluent piping and outfall to the unnamed tributary to the Conemaugh River running parallel to the existing WWTP. The scope of the new WWTP will consist of site work (including flood protection, new driveways and vehicular access, upgraded site lighting, and stormwater management facilities), construction of a new WWTP tank, control and maintenance building, upgraded site utilities, and control piping. As a subconsultant to KCI Technologies, Inc., Sci-Tek is providing the following services:

WETLANDS INVESTIGATION – review of the National Wetlands Inventory of the subject area to determine the feasibility of a field wetland investigation and a field investigation and written evaluation of wetlands in the subject area.

SURVEYING – survey existing underground utility marks and easement exhibits for use in negotiating agreements between private landowners and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for utility easements.
