The Village of Slinger was having issues meeting new phosphorous reduction requirements in their Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). At the same time, the City of Hartford was experiencing severe streambank failure through a 400-foot section of the Rubicon River. The bank’s failure was a threat to human health and safety because it was near a private development. The Village of Slinger worked with the DNR and the City of Hartford to form a unique trading agreement where Slinger would design and install the project in the City of Hartford in exchange for receiving phosphorous credits at their WWTP. The goal of this project was to stabilize 400 linear feet of streambank along the Rubicon River utilizing natural channel design.
R/M, in partnership with IBC Engineering, designed an upgrade at the Influent Building at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF).

The screenings, weighing approximately 70 pounds, were manually carried up 15 sets of stairs every day and hoisted to a refuse container at chest level.

Adjacent to Pewaukee Lake, the Oak Street and Peninsula Road area had a combination of poor water quality, poor soils, and a long, densely-populated road that needed to be reconstructed. With narrow right-of-ways, this made the installation of utilities and road reconstruction a significant challenge. The soft underlying soils required full-width excavation of the roads and presented a potential restriction on emergency services during construction.
