Recognizing that the Gilcrest Sanitation District must provide adequate wastewater treatment facilities, upgrading of the exist- ng facilities was found to be the most reasonable solution through on evaluation of the wastewater treatment facilities through a study sponsored by a grant from the Division of Local Government. The project consists basically of expanding the aeration facilities cnd evaporation-percolation ponds. To construct the additional evaporation- percolation ponds , it will be necessary to purchase three to five acres immediately adjacent to the west of the site as shown in the attcched exhibit labeled "Gilcrest Sanitation District Area Map - Exhibit II " , A. 13.

In that continued population growth is expected in the Gilcre ,t area , expansion of their wastewater treatment facilities in t. le near future is advisable in order to meet expanding needs . It is recommended , however , that such expansion give adequate attention to landscaping and safety measures in that the propssed westerly expansion of these facilities is adjacent to a res _d2ntjal development area. Notes : 1 ) A population of 1 , 000 by the year 2000 as projected by the Gilcrest Sanitation District consultant is not unrealistic . 2 ) According to Western Technical Services evaluation of the Gilcrest Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment facilities , the estimated wastewater generation rate is approximately 300 gallons per capita per day ( gcpdi . This figure is approximately twice the national average which accounts for the inadequacy of the existing plant as originally designed. It may also be advisable to look into the reason for this large gcpd figure and solutions to lowering the figure if feasible. 3 ) Facility expansion is in conformance with Regional 208 Plan draft and the County Comprehensive Plan.
