Hi,
I am preparing an elevation certificate on a sewer plant that is all in the flood zone both graphically and in elevation.
If you've ever seen a sewer plant they have drying beds and other open concrete pools used to process the stuff.
Has anyone done multi structures EC that could share how the presented the data?
Has anyone ever completed an EC for a sewer plant?
Do you think FEMA wants all the structures named above to be included?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I have prepared ECs on WWTPs. But it was only on the office, lab area and warehouse. None of the mechanical plant was included. I do remember all the pumps and power grid apparatus (transformer and switching equipment) had to be a certain distance above the BFE.
Funny how they always seem to build those places in what seems to be the lowest part of the countryside.....;)

Do they? I could argue the point.
I can show you two dozen wet well and lift stations in my city limits...;)

Never performed an EC on a WWTP. BUT those drying beds grow the best tomatoes on Earth. (at least when I was a kid they did):cool:

In good ole Florida we have as many lift stations and force mains as we have gravity sewers.

There's a small town about an hour from here that operates a small WWTP. The "tomato plant festival" happens in April or May...whenever the volunteer seedlings start looking healthy. The local school kids get out in the beds (with their Sunday-best barn painting clothes) during the week and pot up a mess of the plants in little peat pots. After a few days of watering and hardening off the kids sell the plants to finance their various ball teams and such. I've heard melons do pretty well too, but it's awfully hard to tell a cantaloupe from a watermelon....
