Project Overview:
The Taylor Water Reclamation Facility serves an industrial-only facility in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, handling process wastewater and equipment cleaning operations. When Williamson County denied the septic permit due to concerns about industrial wastewater constituents and site-specific geological limitations, Modern Engineering Solutions pursued the TCEQ 210E authorization pathway. The 210E authorization delivered a clean industrial reclaimed water solution in 6 weeks, allowing the facility to commence operations on schedule with a self-contained zero-discharge reuse system.
More Details:
- Authorization Number: 2E-0000358
- Design Flow: 5,000 gallons per day
- Time to Permit: 6 weeks
- Time Saved vs. Discharge Permit: ~22 months
- Waste Streams: Domestic wastewater, process wastewater, industrial washwater
Reuse Strategy:
- On-site landscape irrigation
- Fire protection system (self-contained on-site reuse)
Challenge Overcome:
Williamson County denied the septic permit due to concerns about industrial wastewater constituents and site-specific geological limitations. Traditional on-site disposal was not viable, and a discharge permit would have faced lengthy review and potential opposition. The 210E pathway provided a clean industrial reclaimed water solution under TCEQ oversight in 6 weeks, allowing the facility to commence operations on schedule. The self-contained on-site reuse system eliminates any off-site discharge concerns and provides complete operational control.
