All of the alternatives under consideration involve handling the sediments at the Dalecarlia WTP. What will the noise and smell impacts be like?
Additional noise from truck traffic may be expected in the neighborhood of Dalecarlia WTP under two of the alternatives, however based on the analysis of baseline conditions, this noise is not expected to significantly impact the neighborhood. The mechanical equipment for all of the alternatives, including either dewatering equipment or pumps, will be contained within a building. Based on data from other water treatment plants, the smell from the thickening basins should not be noticeable to neighbors of the Dalecarlia WTP.
