Report on City of Junction City Wastewater Strategic Planning

The City of Junction City is under a Mutual Agreement and Order (MAO) to make significant improvements to its municipal wastewater system to address certain compliance issues with the 2024 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Waste Discharge Permit (Permit #102396). It is worth noting that the City has been under various MAO’s since the mid 1990’s due to the treatment system not meeting compliance with the permit. The current MAO addresses compliance issues that predate the current permit and place a moratorium limiting future wastewater connections until certain actions are taken by the City. The Background section of this report summarizes the requirements that need to be met by the wastewater system to be in compliance with the current permit, along with outlining the alternatives that have been identified to address these compliance issues.
