The Village of Clayton faced significant inflow and infiltration (I&I) during heavy rain or snowmelt, overloading its wastewater collection system and treatment plant. This resulted in combined sewer overflows in downtown Clayton, discharging into the St. Lawrence River—a vital commercial and recreational area. Additionally, these high flows led to non-compliant effluent being discharged from the Village’s wastewater treatment plant. These problems threatened public health, aquatic life, and recreational activities.

JA Lange provided the UV system with a Glasco NON CON UV.

As part of the Barton & Loguidice team, this project alleviated overflows and non-compliant effluent discharges, safeguarding public health and the environment. The innovative upgrades reduced the burden on the existing treatment process, provided reliable tertiary treatment, and delivered clean effluent to the St. Lawrence River, preserving its recreational and ecological value.

The Town of Rosendale owns and operates a 0.10 MGD wastewater treatment plant. In an effort to improve plant performance and increase capacity, B&L designed various improvements to the WWTP, including miscellaneous upgrades to the facility’s headworks, an expansion of the existing aeration basins, and the construction of new secondary clarifier basins and a new UV effluent disinfection system. There were many sequencing and coordination challenges associated with the construction of the WWTP improvements while maintaining effluent quality within SPDES effluent limits.

JA Lange provided clarifiers, the UV, and the aeration diffusers.

As part of the Barton & Loguidice team, the WWTP improvements were completed, and all new equipment is functioning as intended. The WWTP is producing effluent within SPDES discharge permit limits.

As a result of years of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) and deficiencies in both its wastewater collection system and treatment plant, the Village of Coxsackie was under an NYSDEC Order-on Consent to solve its SSO issues, including a moratorium on growth in the Village. The Village needed to increase its capacity for both collection and treatment of wastewater in order to remedy its violations and to accommodate new growth.

JA Lange provided clarifiers and blowers on this project.

As part of the Delaware Engineering team, solutions were developed to solve the sewer overflows.

The Village of Franklinville Wastewater System Improvements project focused on the rehabilitation and upgrade of the village’s wastewater treatment facility and sewer collection system to meet stricter environmental regulations, reduce infiltration and inflow, replace aging infrastructure, and improve overall performance.

JA Lange provided the new ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system.

As part of the LDG team we improved overall performance.

Oneida’s Waste Water Treatment Plant

The City of Oneida’s Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) upgrade project involved significant improvements to the facility, including the modernization of the treatment processes and the addition of new equipment. The project aimed to enhance treatment capacity, improve effluent quality, and reduce the plant’s carbon footprint, while also addressing regulatory compliance.

Design and Construction was accomplished through a joint partnership with Energy Systems Group, Barton & Loguidice, and W. M. Schultz Construction.

J. Andrew Lange provided 3, 75’ diameter Lakeside Equipment Corp Secondary Clarifiers, 1, 30’ diameter Lakeside Equipment Corp CAST Thickener, a Lakeside Equipment Corp Grit Classifier, and 2, 20 HP, Universal Blower Pac Rotary Lobe CAST Contact Tank Blowers.

The Niskayuna Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Niskayuna Wastewater Treatment Plant is a state-of-the-art cogeneration (combined heat and power energy generation) facility that utilizes the wastewater treatment by-products and high strength organic waste from nearby food processing plants to allow the wastewater treatment plant to be a net zero energy facility as well as a source of revenue for the Town.   Lange partnered with Energy Systems Group (ESG) a leading energy services provider, engineering firm Barton & Loguidice, and contractor W. M. Schultz Construction to provide influent headworks treatment (Lakeside Equipment), the extended aeration biological treatment process (Universal Blower Pac and SSI), and the final clarifiers (Lakeside Equipment).   Pictured here in the foreground are the final clarifiers and in the right background, the extended aeration tanks.

The Catherine Valley Water Reclamation Facility

The Catherine Valley Water Reclamation Facility is a completely new centralized regional wastewater treatment plant that treats the waste from both the villages of Watkins Glen and Montour Falls, New York.  Lange worked closely with engineering firm Larson Design Group and contractor Streeter Associates to provide the influent headworks treatment (Lakeside Equipment), sequencing batch reactor (SBR) biological treatment process (Fluidyne), and state of the art UV disinfection system (Glasco UV). Pictured here is the wastewater treatment building which houses the majority of the equipment and controls for the process, and the outside SBR tanks.

The Beaver Creek Satellite Treatment Facility

The Beaver Creek Satellite Treatment Facility a.k.a. The Beaver Creek Clean River Project is expected to have one of the greatest positive impacts on the environment by significantly improving the water quality of the Hudson River.  The project will screen and disinfect over 300 million gallons of flow annually greatly reducing bacteria counts.

The project is progressing as scheduled with an anticipated completion date targeted for December 2022.

We are pleased to be part of the team that includes the talented engineers at Arcadis, CDM Smith, and CHA Consulting.  Jameson Phillips and Christopher Hayes at Wm. J. Keller & Sons Construction Corp.  And our strategic business partner GNA CSO as we provided the vertical stormwater screens, flushing gates, and tipping buckets.

Together making a difference to protect our greatest natural resource.
