Stormwater innovative Practices: Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant- Karen Jensen, MCES
  “The Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is one of seven regional plants operated by MCES, serving the communities of Farmington, Apple Valley and Elko-New Market.  The plant was expanded in 2007. During the expansion, a number of innovative stormwater practices were installed, including bioinfiltration basins, swales, permeable pavers, and a green roof.  No surface runoff has left the plant since the practices were installed. MCES is currently monitoring the practices for effectiveness as well as tracking maintenance costs.”
