STATEMENT OF WORK WASTEWATER SEDIMENTAITON TANK SEDIMENT REMOVAL USDA National Center for Animal Health Ames, IA Background: The wastewater sedimentation tank located at the south campus of the national Center of Animal Health (NCAH) is divided into two compartments for settling sediment out of the wastewater from non-infectious animal barns. Animal waste is generated by cattle, horses, sheep, poultry and other species. Wastewater is run through one of the two compartments until the sediment is too dense and the settling tank becomes ineffective. This is determined by testing the solids content of the wastewater downstream from the sedimentation tank. At that point, the wastewater is directed through the second compartment. The scope of this work is to clean one compartment every four months as determined required by USDA/NCAH personnel. Each compartment of the sedimentation tank is approximately 8' wide by 35' long by 5' deep at the outflow and inflow. Volume is approximately 10,500 gallons per compartment.
