On Thursday, September 16, contractor Mike Pusateri Excavating was pouring the cement for the dividing wall that will separate the two new aerobic digesters when installed. Forming up that wall was an extensive project in itself. The wall is reinforced with rebar.
The $300,000 plus project includes converting the plant's digesters to aerobic which should greatly lesson the odor coming from the plant. A spokesman for the contractor said the first digester will be in place sometime in November. Completion date for the whole project is April 21, 2011. The use of the drying beds will still be necessary but the offensive odor causing bacteria will be killed off with the new digesters.
