Previous Week's Speaker: Corey Miller- UAJA Beneficial Reuse Project

Corey Miller from the UAJA spoke to us about the beneficial reuse project.

The University Area Joint Authority, or UAJA for short, is located on the outskirts of the city of State College (the home of Penn State), in central Pennsylvania. UAJA is the municipal authority providing Wastewater Treatment, or Water Recycling services, to much of State College and the Centre Region. In addition to providing Wastewater Recycling, the UAJA is proud to operate an Award Winning Biosolids Composting facility.

UAJA’s mission: re-use water and biosolids to benefit the environment, quality of life and economy of the region.

Believe it or not, wastewater is a resource. With appropriate treatment technologies, this community waste product can economically be turned into usable resources for the Spring Creek Watershed.

UAJA was formed in 1964 as a joint effort to provide sewage treatment to portions of Patton, Ferguson, College, and Harris Townships, and also to portions of the State College Borough. The Authority (UAJA) built the Spring Creek Pollution Control Facility at 1576 Spring Valley Road which began operation in July of 1969. UAJA provides administrative staff and maintenance support duties required for the effective operation of the sewage collection systems and the sewage treatment plant servicing the communities described above. UAJA is a public organization and its structure includes: The Authority Board, Plant Operations, and Collection Systems.

In 1997 UAJA and two other sewer authorities, the College-Harris Joint Authority and the Patton-Ferguson Joint Authority, unified to more efficiently serve the region. As a result, wastewater rates to the customers were reduced, and now one board handles both the wastewater treatment issues and the wastewater collection issues. This was the first time in Pennsylvania history that sewer authorities were unified.

http://www.uaja.com is their Web site to learn more.
