Gibson Park Boat Ramp

COLUMBIA COUNTY, FL

NFPS performed the feasibility study, master plan and completed the engineering design and cost estimates for this County owned and operated 125,000 gallon-per-day (GPD) Potable Water Supply and Distribution System and the 125,000 gallon per day modular Waste Water Treatment Plant which can be expanded in 125,000 GPD increments up to a 500,000 GPD capacity. The project also included a 19.17-acre effluent spray field where reclaimed wastewater will be used to grow grass. The water treatment and wastewater treatment facilities are located on 78-acres of land purchased by the County, approximately 2.7 miles west of I-75/SR-6 intersection. The modular wastewater treatment plan included a 460,000-gallon retention basin and irrigation pump station. Engineering design also included two 250,000 GPD groundwater wells, a 250,000-gallon capacity elevated storage tank sufficient to provide fire-protection water within the facility’s Planning area, a 3-mile long water distribution pipeline system along SR-6 and a main wastewater lift station with a 2.5-mile long force main.
