Excavation Of Sewer System Continues By Ron Leonardi Excavation for Behrend's new $425,000 dollar sewage system is currently proceeding on schedule, according to Mr. Robert Finley, Assistant Director of Operations. The prcject, which is 3= of the largest undertaken at Behrend in recent years, is a combined effort between Penn State University and the Harborcreek Township Sewer Authority. Penn -State's projected share in the project is $369,000. According to Mr. Finley, the project has been developed over the past three years. "We have tried to have this project done for the last ten years and have been trying to get rid of that sewage plant," said Finley. Behrend's current sewer system is overloaded, and besides an expansion which took place in 1971, has been the same since the college was built. Furthermore, the system pro vides a danger to the environ ment. "It does provide a source of pollution to Four Mile Creek, no matter how well it is run," said Finley. Workers are proceeding on schedule despite having to put up with some fierce weather condi tions the past few weeks. Mr. Finley anticipates the start up of the new system will occur on April sth or 6th. Final grading and restoration on the site will take a month and a half beyond that. This project is very complex and is not restricted to the cam pus alone. "There is a lot to this project that you don't see," he ad ded. The project involves pipe line running from the Nick building across - campus which everyone is aware of. As of this writing, workers were in the process of tunneling under Station Road. The state highway commission refused to allow the road to be cut. After Station Road, there is 3500 feet of main pipe line which will be in stalled to the Gospel Hill Country Club. From there, the line makes a left turn up Steimer Road, then across Reese Road and finally connects to the sewer system at the top of Freeman Road. Mr. Finley feels the new system offers Bebrend many ad vantages. "The new system is go ing to allow the campus to eliminate the sewage plant, the operational problems associated with it, and the degradation of Four Mile Creek," he said. "It's going to give us more capacity to allow the expansion of the campus. It has been a major reason why this campus has not been expanded."
