Johnson County Wastewater (Kansas) (JCW) is upgrading their Tomahawk Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) from a 7 mgd trickling filter plant to 19 mgd with biological nutrient reduction and projected peak wet weather flows of up to 172 mgd.  At a cost of $267M, this represents the largest project in JCW’s history.  The updated WWTF utilizes several leading edge technologies for wastewater treatment including 5 stage biological nutrient reduction with sidestream RAS fermentation, sidestream deammonification using the AnitaMoxTM process, and dual purpose filtration providing dry weather tertiary treatment and wet weather raw water primary treatment during storm events.  The project is utilizing a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) process for project delivery.
