Overflow basin

When there is overflow – such as in heavy rainfall – the overflow is pumped here, where it sits until it is either pulled back into the plant or – if there’s too much of it – discharged without treatment back into the stream. We get big fines from DNR for doing that, and they won’t actually even allow us to discharge anymore. Which is, of course, a big problem.
