The Protection Of Public Health - 2208 Words

1 INTRODUCTION The protection of public health is the fundamental purpose of collecting and treating wastewater. All water sources contain a broad spectrum of inorganic and organic constituents. Water treatment involves removal of undesirable constituents from the water and then disposal of them in the easiest and safest manner. To achieve this goal, a variety of treatments processors are utilized, which exploit various physical and chemical phenomena to remove or reduce the undesirable constituents from the water. Selection of the treatment processes is one of the keys to successful performance of a water treatment plant. 1.1 PURPOSE OF PLAN This Project Development Plan (PDP) defines requirements for design, construction and†¦show more content†¦Generally, the design criteria of this research are conservative than that for larger treatment works. This research focuses on environmental problems and objectives for environmental protection and provides acceptable criteria with suitable local conditions. This research intends that treatment plants have a minimal impact on the environment (Siavoshi, 2014). The project evaluated the technical, financial and environmental components of the construction of the system. 2.1 Option Development and Environmental Impact Assessment Following the EIS development under normal project conditions the EIS would be exhibited (Mikhailovich 2009). Submissions and representations would have been received and these often include State Government authorities, peak environmental non-government organisations, local community groups and private residents (Mackintosh 2010). A report under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation, 2000 (Mackintosh 2010) would then be developed to consider the EIS and representations made during the public comment period. This report would address each of the representations and provide options for the representations to either mitigate the concerns identified and/or provide further detail regarding any alternative options presented by the person or interest group. When this report is complete the approving authority will then consider approving the project and outcomes supported by the Report.
