   Location: Sarah J. Dymond Elementary School, Exeter Township, Luzerne County.

   Project Description: This project will entail the expansion of the existing Sarah J. Dymond Elementary School in the Wyoming Area School District. An 8,000 square foot addition containing six classrooms will be constructed and student capacity will increase from 175 to 325. Presently, wastewater is treated by an onlot sewage disposal system. A new sewage treatment facility with stream discharge will be constructed with design flows of 12,000 GPD. This facility will be owned, operated and maintained by the Wyoming Area School District. Upon completion of the treatment plant, the onlot sewage disposal system will be abandoned.

   This treatment plant will discharge to a tributary of Sutton Creek. Acceptance of this revision is conceptual. It leaves to be addressed at a later date both (1) the effluent limitations necessary to protect public health, and (2) specific treatment technology.

   The School District agrees that the treatment plant shall be considered an interim facility for sewage disposal. Should a public sewage system become available to the property, the School District agrees to abandon the treatment plant and connect to the public sewer system.

   The location of this project is 600 feet west of S. R. 0092 on Sutton Creek Road in Exter Township, Luzerne County, PA.
