| DESCRIPTION:SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO'S EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM FOR THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON IS IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE REHABILITATION AND UPGRADES TO AVOID OVERFLOWS FROM THE LAGOON SYSTEM INTO THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. THE HEALTH CONCERNS REGARDING THE WASTEWATER LAGOONS INCLUDE DIRECT EXPOSURE TO RAW SEWAGE AND CONTAMINATION OF FOOD SOURCES (AGRICULTURAL CROPS) IN THE VICINITY OF THE WASTEWATER LAGOONS DUE TO OVERFLOWS AND BREACHES. THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON WILL REMAIN AN INTEGRAL PART OF SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO'S WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AFTER CONSTRUCTION OF A PROPOSED NEW SEQUENCE BATCH REACTOR (SBR) TREATMENT PLANT TO SERVE THE ENTIRE PUEBLO. THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED TO MANAGE PEAK FLOWS FROM PUEBLO EVENTS SUCH AS FEAST DAYS AND OTHER PUEBLO EVENTS. REHABILITATING AND UPGRADING THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM WILL ELIMINATE OVERFLOW FROM THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON SYSTEM THAT WILL PREVENT DISCHARGE OF EMERGING CONTAMINANTS TO THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. IT WILL ALSO PREVENT TRANSMISSION OF EMERGING CONTAMINANTS TO THE RIO GRANDE THROUGH THE SHALLOW GROUNDWATER SYSTEM FROM THE PERCOLATION POND THAT IS LOCATED IN THE ALLUVIAL FLOODPLAIN. IN ADDITION IT WILL ASSIST WITH FUNCTIONALITY OF THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON THAT WILL HELP PREVENT BACKUPS OF THE SEWER SYSTEM INTO HOMES IN THE MAIN VILLAGE AND PREVENT EXPOSURE TO THE PUEBLO RESIDENTS FROM RAW SEWAGE INCLUDING EMERGING CONTAMINANTS. THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM USES A LEACH FIELD THAT IS REMOVED FROM THE PUEBLO POPULATED AREAS AND HAS SUFFICIENT SEPARATION FROM THE GROUNDWATER AQUIFER IN THE AREA TO PREVENT THE EMERGING CONTAMINANTS FROM IMPACTING SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER RESOURCES. MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION - THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM FOR THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON INCLUDES PUMPING AND CONVEYANCE OF LAGOON EFFLUENT TO A LEACH FIELD THAT IS LOCATED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. THE INTENT OF THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM WAS TO RELIEVE THE EXISTING LAGOON AS THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO CONTAIN THE WASTEWATER FLOWS. EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING LAGOONS IS NOT FEASIBLE DUE TO SITE CONSTRAINTS. THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INCLUDES PUMPS, APPROXIMATELY 2.5 MILES OF FORCE MAIN, AND A LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES HUNDREDS OF SPRINKLERS. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR SOME TIME. THE PUEBLO HAS BEEN USING AN EMERGENCY PERCOLATION POND LOCATED NEXT TO THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOONS WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE ALLUVIAL PLAIN. USE OF THE POND RELIEVES THE EFFLUENT LAGOON CAPACITY AND PREVENTS OVERFLOWS AND DAMAGE TO THE LAGOON LINER; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A LONG-TERM SOLUTION DUE TO THE RISKS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS FUNDING WAS APPROPRIATED IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT (P.L. 117-58) AS WELL AS THE 'FY2022 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT' (P.L. 117-103), 'FY2023 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT' (P.L. 117-328), AND 'FY2024 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT' (P.L. 118-42), AND 'FULL YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025 (P.L. 119-4)'. THIS PROPOSED PROJECT COMPLIES WITH PILLAR 1 - CLEAN AIR, WATER AND LAND UNDER EPA'S POWERING THE GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK INITIATIVE.ACTIVITIES:SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO TRIBAL UTILITY AUTHORITY WILL FIRST SAMPLE THE MAIN VILLAGE LAGOON FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE EMERGING CONTAMINANTS: ACETAMINOPHEN AND CAFFEINE. IF THE EMERGING CONTAMINANT'S PRESENCE IS VERIFIED IN THE LAGOON, SANTO DOMINGO WILL PROCEED WITH THE REHABILITATION OF THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM. DISPOSAL SYSTEM UPGRADE DESCRIPTION - REHABILITATION AND UPGRADES NEEDED FOR THE EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM FALL INTO TWO CATEGORIES: 1. PUMP UPGRADES - THE PUMP FOR THE DISPOSAL SYSTEM IS IN NEED OF UPGRADE AND EXPECTED TO COST $350,000. THE PUEBLO TRIBAL UTILITY AUTHORITY STAFF ARE OBTAINING QUOTES. 2. CONVEYANCE FORCE MAIN AND LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM REHABILITATION - THE FORCE MAIN AND LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM HAVE NOT BEEN USED IN RECENT YEARS.
