Date February 21, 2002 Contact Tom Farrell, 605/745-1130 Wind Cave National Park Superintendent Linda Stoll announced today that the park is initiating a planning process to correct problems with the park’s current wastewater treatment system. The current system consisting of three total containment evaporation lagoons has filled to capacity three times in the past twelve years and the system is projected to reach maximum capacity by 2005. Alternatives currently under review include relocating and improving the existing lagoons, building a wastewater treatment plant in the park, or connecting into the city of Hot Springs’ system. During this early planning phase, the park is requesting public input regarding the alternatives being considered, issues or concerns related to each of the proposed alternatives, and any new alternatives that should be considered. Please send your comments to Wind Cave National Park Superintendent, RR 1 Box 190, Hot Springs SD 57747. |
