Abstract |
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluated 11 alternatives to build a wastewater treatment plant and interceptor system for that part of Olathe, Kansas that is in the Cedar Creek Basin. Based on a comparative analysis of both monetary and nonmonetary impacts of the alternatives, EPA has identified a preferred alternative project. The preferred alternative consists of staged construction of a 3 MGD wastewater treatment plant with gravity interceptors, two major lift stations and two major force mains. The gravity interceptors are generally aligned with Cedar and Little Cedar Creeks. One major lift station would pump around Ernie Miller Nature Center Park, and the other lift station would pump around Olathe Lake. |
