Install Temporary Wastewater Plant in Mammoth Hot Springs - Headworks

The project consists of construction of the “Install Temporary Wastewater Plant in Mammoth Hot Springs - Headworks” project at Yellowstone National Park. The work of the project will occur at Mammoth Hot Springs in Wyoming.

This project will add a headworks facility to the temporary Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serving Mammoth. The WWTP has been in service since Summer 2023, but the raw wastewater screening equipment is labor-intensive and unsafe to maintain, due primarily to the perceived need to minimize the footprint of the WWTP. This project will provide an industry-standard headworks facility that will screen raw wastewater in a less labor-intensive and safer manner.

Due to the project’s location in a national park and because much of the work of this project will be performed in areas in close proximity to sensitive natural and cultural resources, this project includes many significant and critical requirements associated with contractor operations and resource protection. These unique project requirements will demand careful management, scheduling and work planning and very close attention and coordination on the part of the prime contractor, subcontractors and the CM Firm representing NPS.
