Examples include: <br />Placer County, CA: Holland & Knight has secured over $11 million in federal funding to design and <br />construct a modern regional wastewater treatment system in this Northern California county of <br />about 350,000 people. Under the regional alternative, modern wastewater treatment facilities will <br />be preserved and seven older facilities located throughout the region will be abandoned. <br />Together, the three modern facilities will be capable of meeting the area's wastewater treatment <br />demands for decades to come. Eliminating effluent discharge from these outdated and ineffective <br />facilities will improve water quality in the local receiving waters and reduce environmental impacts <br />on the Bay-Delta system. <br />Furthermore, the new treatment facilities can provide up to 30,000 acre-feet of reclaimed <br />wastewater for agricultural purposes as well as irrigation of community open space and parks. The <br />sale of reclaimed water for these purposes will help offset the cost of treatment while reducing the <br />need for surface and/or ground water. <br />City of West Sacramento, CA: The City is currently transitioning from its original authorized flood <br />damage reduction project to a much larger project in the neighborhood of $400 million to $500 <br />million.
