Sewage Plant 'OK' By' NANCY McCORKLE The "University has applied to the Pennsylvania Department of Health for authorization to expand its•sewage disposal plant, Stanley H. Campbell, vice president for business, 'said recently. • • According tb•othe plans, the plant, located on4l.lniversity Road, _ will increase its capacity to 4,000.- : 000 gallons of water per day from its present 2.800,000 gallon ca -pacity, Campbell said. TWO NEW treatment units, a compressed air blower and a new contact tank for chlorination are needed for this project. The pres- P ent ; sewage' treatment facilities will also be' modified with the -addition of an aeration tank. Fu ture plans include construction cf two more treatment units to in crease the plant's daily capacity to. 6,000,000 gallons, .he' said. The present plant is , able to re move 85 per cent of BOD (bio chemical oxygen demand) while the improved plant will increase this to .95 per cent. Action by the University on the sewage problem was• necessitated because. the State Sanitary Water Board ordered the University last October to stop polluting Spring Creek with its sewage within two years.

JULY 12. 1962 that the University "take immedi ate steps to build sewage treat ment works or other facilities" to prevent pollution of Thompson Run and Slab Cabin Run. At the same time the General State Authority ; cancelled its pro posal to build a $500,000 addition to the sewage plant. Campbell said that the addition tg the sewage plant was also planned because of the anticipated growth of 'the student population and of the State College Borough population. BY 1970 the University expects to haye a student, enrollment of 25,006, and it was estimated that the borough will have 6,000 more residents or a total of 19,000 peo ple, he said. Since 1957 when the present plant began operation, he said. the University, under contract with the Borough of State College. has been processing, the communi ty's sewage in addition to its own.

The University has initiated the!pro, gram in an effort to solve some of the pressing water pollution problems ' facing the Common wealth, he added. Silice the National Science Foundation provides funds on a 50-50 matching basis to purchase equipment for expanded research and instructional programs in the sciences, the added funds used in this manner will have .dotibled purchasing power, Walker said. "THIS MONEY from the state is a welcome addition to one of the tightest budgets in Penn State's history." he. said. "No state university is under greater pressure than we are to expand its instructional and research pro grams. It is thus gratifying to have the Legislature and the Governor thus recognize and support our unique relationship to the 'Com monwealth." "The faculty and staff join me in pledging our best efforts to use this investment to the best pos sible advantage of the Pennsyl vanians z a vho have provided it," Walker said.
