Dear Members,
Please see the message below from Richard Speer, PE Director City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton Rouge Department of Environmental Services.
The standard plan for the grinder pump station is now published on BR Projects website. Please see the link below. We will be adding the electrical and instrumentation standard plans for this pump station to the website throughout the day.

This should provide a more cost effective approach to developing small tracts of land where a nearby gravity system can accept the flows. Please see information below.
This type of pump station would be allowed to discharge only into the gravity collection system.
It is applicable for developments with design capacities of 20 – 60 gpm. This will allow users in subdivisions with less than 50 typical single-family homes (49 single family homes is 61 gpm based on our spreadsheet).
The minimum lot size for the station will be reduced to 30’ x 30’ for these grinder pump stations.
There will be a connection for a generator but not a permanent installation.
We have also revised http://brprojects.com/ to move some of the design resources, standard Specifications and standard details from the SSO Program page to http://brprojects.com/design-and-construction-resources/ (general resource page of Baton rouge Projects) to avoid confusion.
We are in the process of converting the SSO Program design requirements into DES design guidelines. These will be on the page referenced above.
If you have any comments please respond back to me via email.
