A 10-foot tall berm would be built around the cells, and a 3-foot freeboard would be installed over the cells’ edges. Grubbed organic soil and silt would be placed on the 3(H):1(V) side slopes and seeded for final stabilization. Construct a 1,000-foot long discharge pipe (20-inch diameter) on helical piles and/or timber supports between the lagoon and the school. Also, construct a 300-foot long gravity outfall pipe on helical piles and/or timber supports between the sewage lagoon and Johnson Slough to the northwest.
