Description of the Project
In 2002, the City of Richmond, Sanitary District, completed three capital improvement
master plans. These included a comprehensive CSO plan, a Stormwater Management plan and a

near North 8th Street. Phase 1 runs from the WWTP to near South "G" Street and includes an
additional siphon pipe for the West Side Interceptor. The Tertiary Building project includes
media, backwash, valve and pump improvements. The South East Basin Relief Interceptor
consists of a new sewer from the WWTP to South 34th Street.
Other components of projects in the master plans include: Additional Primary Treatment
Modification, Activated Sludge Process Modifications and Improvements, Final Clarification
Modifications and Improvements, South "G" Street Collector Sewer Improvements, NW 13th
Street Interceptor Sewer Improvements, South "H" Street Collector Sewer Improvements
