Best Sunshine International, Ltd has begun design on an approximately 8,500-foot sewer force main, or pressurized pipe system, to accommodate waste flows from its planned 14-story casino resort in Garapan.<\/p>\n
Wastewater piping in Garapan has been found inadequate for BSI\u2019s estimated 24,000 gallons of discharge from its casino hotel per day. If not addressed, these flows are expected to inundate the wastewater system in area, causing discharge to backflow and affect existing businesses and development.<\/p>\n
According to John Riegel, the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.\u2019s water and wastewater division chief engineer, Hofschneider Engineering, LLC\u2014Best Sunshine\u2019s International, Ltd. engineers\u2014will submit their plans to CUC and the Department of Public Works for approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cProject has started design. Construction is forecast to begin this year,\u201d Riegel told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n
According to Riegel, the force main will be in an alignment\u2014preliminary\u2014down Beach Road in Garapan to Middle Road. It will follow along Middle Road to the point of intersection with an existing force main from lift station \u201cS3\u201d to the \u201cST\u201d treatment plant.<\/p>\n
The force main will tie into the existing force main, he said. The alignment will not will got the S3 lift station by the Mobil tank farm entrance as was previously planned.<\/p>\n
A message and email left at their Hofschneider Engineering\u2019s office last week was not immediately returned as of press time.<\/p>\n
Best Sunshine presented their major siting permit application to regulator officials last month. The application has been certified complete with a public hearing set later this month on June 25, a Friday. Included in their application are off-site road and drainage improvements. These include improvements to Hibiscus Street and the repair of the oft-polluted open-air canal beside the hotel property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
