Regional Sewer Project
Bland County, Virginia
Anderson & Associates, Inc. prepared a Preliminary Engineering Report to examine the feasibility of a
wastewater collection and treatment system in and around Bastian. No public wastewater facilities existed
in the area. Project components included approximately 84,000 lf of gravity sewer line, 243 manholes,
15,000 lf of force main sewer line, two sewage pump stations, and a 200,000 gallon per day sequencing
batch reactor (SBR) wastewater treatment facility.
Several elements of the Bastian Community are benefiting from this project; existing and potential economic
development in Bastian, I-77 Industrial Park, potential commercial development at the I-77/US
Route 52 interchange, the two Rest Area/Visitor Centers on I-77, and residential areas with poor conditions
for proper septic tank/drainfield operation (high ground water levels and low soil absorptive properties).
The U.S. Department of Agriculture/Rural Development provided project funding in the form of a $3,335,900
grant/$832,650 loan package. Additional funding included the Virginia Department of Transportation
($1,800,000 grant), Appalachian Regional Commission ($500,000 grant), the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality ($300,000 grant/$500,000 loan) and Community Development Block Grant ($650,000
grant).
