The program includes construction of a new 1.0 MG D industrial wastewater treatment facility\, development of a dedicated in dustrial wastewater conveyance system\, and rehabilitation and upgrade of the existing municipal wastewater treatment plant.\n\nThe project will shi ft approximately 850\,000 gallons per day of industrial ag-wash flows from the existing plant to the new industrial system\, allowing for efficient treatment tailored to agricultural discharges. Following this diversion\, the existing treatment plant will be rehabilitated and upgraded to meet cu rrent discharge requirements. Upon completion of Phase 2\, the combined sy stem will provide a total capacity of approximately 2.9 MGD\, with future expansion of the industrial system to 3.5 MGD and incorporation of recycle d water capabilities to support long-term growth through 2048.\n\nAbout th e Speaker\n\n\n\nPatrick Dobbins\, PE\nRegional Lead - Northern California \nMNS Engineers\, Inc.\n\nPatrick Dobbins\, PE is the Regional Lead for No rthern California at MNS Engineers\, Inc.\, with extensive experience in m unicipal engineering\, public works leadership\, and infrastructure planni ng.
