SECTION 5. NORTH BASIN PROJECTS
5.4.13 Group Project 1B (Metro Airport Sewer Area Pump Station and Forcemain
Upgrades)
Project Description
Purpose of the Project/Background Information
Group Project 1B (Metro Airport Sewer Area Pump Station and Forcemain Upgrades) is a
combination of two individual projects identified in the January 2008 PDP, specifically the
NFW-C-0008 (Multiple Pump Stations – Airline Highway – Greenwell Street) and portions
of NFW-C-0005 (Airline Highway – Victoria Drive). The combined project has been
designated Group Project 1B (Metro Airport Sewer Area Pump Station and Forcemain
Upgrades) project and is described in this section.
This project includes the upgrades of forcemain segments and pump stations in the North
Gravity and North Forced West Basins. The Group Project 1B consists of the replacement of
nine pump stations, replacement of 8,000 linear feet of 8 to 15-inch sanitary sewer forcemain
pipeline, and 26,060 linear feet of new 30 sanitary sewer forcemain.
The pump station and forcemain upgrades will work in conjunction with the Group Project
1A gravity sewer upgrades in the North Gravity and North Forced West Basin projects to
alleviate chronic sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) at the pump stations and in the gravity
basins upstream of the pump stations.
Location
The locations of the pump stations are given in Table 5-18 and shown in Figure 5-20.
Group Project 1B is primarily located in the north Baton Rouge area. Detailed location
descriptions of the required capacity improvements follow.
Forcemain segment PS45FM to North WWTP begins at PS 45 located near Clark Street and
Granberry Drive. Upon leaving the pump station, the forcemain travel west and then south,
traveling south down Devall Lane. After reaching Devall Lane and Blount Road, the
forcemain travels west until reaching Liberty Drive. The forcemain travels south until the

on Mickens Road.
Forcemain segment PS275FM to NS6140AA (new node) begins at PS275, located at Glynn
Road and Old Rafe Meyer Road. Upon leaving the pump station, the forcemain travels west
along Old Rafe Meyer Road to a new node, NS6140AA, located at the intersection of Old
Rafe Meyer Road and Highway 61.
