The document discusses the development of a 30-year master plan for the SJ/SC Water Pollution Control Plant. The master plan will address aging infrastructure, population growth, regulations, and community values. It will include a capital improvement plan, buffer lands plan, staffing plan, and environmental review. Community meetings and workshops are being held to gather input on alternatives for liquids, solids, energy, operations, and future treatment needs. The plan will create an integrated vision for the facilities and surrounding lands that provides economic, social, technical and environmental benefits to the community.
