A brief description of the natural wastewater systems used to handle the institution’s wastewater:
To treat all natural wastewater on campus, we have eight water runoff locations designed to treat rainwater and stormwater through low impact strategies. These runoff locations are meant to remove any salt, sands, chemicals, and other sediments before the water is released to the Mesalonskee River. Dale Deblois, the Environmental Program Manager at Colby, checks each of the eight runoff locations twice a year to monitor their operation and perform maintenance as required. On average, each system is cleaned out for precipitated salts, sands, and other sediments every five to ten years, or as required. One of our major runoff treatment areas is behind the Colby Green, which contains three large ponds - more than enough to accommodate the current campus and any planned updates to our campus as outlined in our campus master plan.
