Problem: Laurel Regional Airport Authority of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, had an undersized 20,000 gpd wastewater treatment system servicing the airport and local business park. Treated effluent discharges to a Pascagoula River Basin tributary. When the authority applied for an updated permit for an increased flow of 50,000 gpd, the state conducted a waste load allocation study and imposed more stringent permit parameters including BOD from 30 mg/L to 14 mg/L, 6.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen level and 2.0 mg/L total ammonia levels, and nutrient monitoring.
Solution: The authority selected an extended aeration package plant from Infiltrator Water Technologies that meets the 50,000 gpd
