The Johnson County (Kan.) Douglas L. Smith Middle Basin Wastewater Treatment Plant Solids Improvements Project has earned a National Environmental Achievement Award from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA). The project was designed by CH2M HILL and its partner Archer|HDR. A key element of the project was a fats, oils and grease (FOG) waste receiving and processing station, designed to operate in a harsh winter environment and support the county’s aggressive FOG waste management program. The facility will beneficially reuse FOG and reduce the average miles traveled by FOG waste haulers by at least 40,000 miles a year,
