Ethanol Plant To Use Fargo Wastewater
By Mr Ethanol | May 28, 2007
In Forum:
An ethanol plant under construction here will use wastewater that Fargo’s treatment plant normally discharges into the Red River.
Bruce Grubb, director of Fargo’s enterprise department, said he hopes to have a memorandum of understanding signed by Fargo, the Tharaldson Ethanol Plant and Cass Rural Water Users District within the next week.
Fargo will deliver to the ethanol plant about 350 million gallons of treated effluent per year, or about 8 percent of the annual discharge from the wastewater treatment plant, Grubb said.
The daily discharge from Fargo’s treatment plant into the Red River will drop from 12 million to 11 million gallons per day when the ethanol plant goes online.
That means less water for downstream users, including Grand Forks, Grafton, Drayton and Pembina.
Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services Inc. of Moorhead, Minn., analyzed how diverting the wastewater would have impacted downstream users during the last 20 years.
