MICHAEL SWAN: SEA-LEVEL PUMP AND TREAT SYSTEM A GO >>>
The Fort Lewis PAO reports;
Fort Lewis, Wash. - Fort Lewis installation and environmental officials will gather to mark the "grand opening" of the Sea-Level Aquifer Pump and Treatment system Oct. 14, at 1:30 p.m.
The Sea-Level Aquifer Pump and Treatment system (SLAPT) is the third of three systems being built to remove trichloroethylene (TCE), from groundwater beneath the northwest portion of Fort Lewis.
The system was combined with a planned expansion of the Madigan Army Medical Center cooling plant, and cost approximately $4 million.
Treated water from the system will be pumped to the cooling plant, where it will expand the plant's capacity and reduce the facility's dependence on water supplied from wells that draw from the upper (shallow) aquifer.
The additional capacity will better support the hospital's cooling
needs, and may reduce the cooling plants impact on surface water levels.
Combining the projects saved the government more than $1 million, compared to the cost of building two separate facilities.
