- 9. Project Description/Overview
- West Harrison Water & Sewer District is proposing sewer improvements in the Stablewood Subdivision off of Menge Avenue in Pass Christian, MS. This subdivision is located 1.25 miles north of the Wolf River. Currently, there are a approximately 46 unserved homes in this subdivision relying on an outdated septic tank system that poses significant environmental risks due to malfunctions and overflows. The proposed project is the installation of approximately 18,000 LF of 3" PVC force mains, 3900 LF of 6" PVC force mains, and installing a grinder pump at each house that would connect to the 3" force main. The new line would connect to an existing discharge location that is on Menge Avenue.
- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- - Improve the Stablewood Subdivision Sewer system. - Install a sealed 3" and 6" PVC force main that would prevent leakage. - Install grinder pumps at each house to improve the efficiency of the sewer system.
- 11. Which of the following authorized uses set forth in the GOMESA Act does this project fall under?
- (A) Projects and activities for the purpose of coastal protection, including conservation, coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and infrastructure directly affected by coastal wetlands losses
- Yes: This project aims to enhance infrastructure by rerouting discharge points and preventing raw sewage contamination from entering the Wolf River and nearby waterways.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- Yes: This project will help prevent wastewater from entering coastal streams and harming wildlife in the area.
- (C) Implementation of a federally-approved marine, coastal, or conservation management plan.
- (D) Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects.
- Yes: The project will mitigate the impact of activities by preventing wastewater from entering coastal streams that would eventually flow into the Gulf of Mexico.

- Other Planning Funds Not Budgeted
- 15. In what way does this project meet the goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources, which includes enhancing, protecting and conserving the marine interest of Mississippi for present and future generations?
- This project helps improve an unserved sewer system that is currently outdated. It protects current and future marine interests by routing the subdivision's sewer discharge away from the Wolf River and other natural bodies of water, which is better for the wildlife and natural resources in or near the Wolf River. It also eliminates the need for future maintenance and repairs that are disruptive to the natural environment and could result in untreated wastewater being released into the river.
