Lariat Investigative Lake Mission Viejo will soon be filled with recycled water as the Santa Margarita Water District proposes to construct a water treatment facility that would intake SMWD disinfected tertiary effluent, which is liquid waste or sewage, and produce purified effluent for direct discharge and use. The structure would encompass about 5,000 square feet and would house the Advanced Water Purification treatment processes, consist of micro- or ultra- filtration, reverse osmosis, and…

Pharmaceutical pollutants pose a drastic issue for the environment as a whole. Pharmaceuticals are extensively used for the health care of humans, which results in their detection in the environmental waters. Because these medications are consumed every day, they end up in local oceans, rivers, lakes, and possibly even into the drinking water if it has not been properly treated. Pharmaceutical pollutants have devastating effects on the environment, in particular, the aquatic animals in the…

All households that have been identified by UASs as having straight pipe discharge is potential household for conducting socioeconomic study. We will use a simple random sampling method to select the interview respondent so that each social actor (in this case each household) in the neighborhood will have equal probability of being interviewed. Depending on the number of households, we will interview 20 -30 percent households that has straight pipe. We will also include about the same number of…

First the raw sewage goes into the Influent box where there are screens that pick up any large objects that don’t belong such as twigs, etc. Second are the Facultative Ponds. There are two different facultative ponds, North and South, where the algae first begin to grow naturally and eat away at the sewage. There are no added algae to the system, all of the algae is already in the wastewater but has not been…

The first level is referred to as the Primary Treatment, or Mechanical. This level is made to remove the suspending or floating solids from raw sewage. The mechanical part of this level would refer to the screening or sedimentation of the process. Many advanced wastewater treatment plants in industrialized countries have started with this primary stage and then adds more treatment stages beyond…
