Scope Of Work
The Hunts Point Wastewater Treatment Plant’s (Hunts Point WWTP) anaerobic digestion system has reached
its capacity limits and requires expansion and replacement. Four new silo digesters and support facilities are
proposed for construction immediately north of the existing plant to provide stable, reliable digestion of
solids produced at Hunts Point WWTP and achieve the New York City Department of Environmental
Protection’s (DEP) goal of Class B quality biosolids.
The objective of HP-238 is to replace failing solids-handling infrastructure at Hunts Point WWTP with facilities that provide reliable, easy-to-own, effective treatment of solids. The new facilities should reduce operational costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
while improving the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of DEP’s operation. The biosolids
product should be a high-quality, low volume, and versatile in its uses beyond disposal. A return to state-ofgood-
repair is needed, but opportunities for improvement should be considered.
