Industrial Water & Wastewater Treatment
Originally Engineered by NRS Consulting Engineers, Texarkana, TX · As-Built Certified 1995
Originally designed and built by NRS Consulting Engineers, Texarkana, TX for Fruit of the Loom's Vidalia Apparel manufacturing complex. Every component — from the dual aeration basins to the 105-foot clarifiers to the Mississippi River discharge system — was engineered to handle the demanding wastewater loads of a full-scale commercial textile manufacturing operation running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A municipal wastewater plant serving a town of 10,000–15,000 people handles roughly 1–2 MGD. This facility was built at 3–5× that scale for a single industrial operation. This infrastructure exists. It is permitted. It is documented. It conveys with the facility.
Purpose-built for industrial textile operations at 3–5× municipal scale.
Phase I and Phase II aeration basins — 2.7 MGD capacity each — for combined biological treatment at 5.4 million gallons per day. One of the largest privately-owned industrial biological treatment systems in the American South.
Operational 105-foot diameter primary clarifier with two additional future clarifiers engineered and sited. 85-foot clearwell for treated water storage integrated with effluent pump station. Industrial-grade throughout.
16-inch PVC river discharge line with fully permitted Louisiana DEQ Mississippi River discharge rights. As-Built certified November 7, 1995. A regulatory achievement essentially impossible to replicate under modern EPA standards.
24-inch force mains, lift stations, return sludge pump stations, and effluent pump station throughout the 81± acre site. Industrial-grade conveyance infrastructure from intake to river discharge.
Complete biosolids handling facility plus a separate dedicated water treatment plant for process water supply. Full treatment train from raw influent to final river discharge — nothing missing.
Complete 10-sheet engineering drawing set stamped and sealed by a licensed Louisiana structural engineer. As-Built certified November 7, 1995. Louisiana State Fire Marshal plan review completed (Project AR-19-014460, Status: Released).
Under current EPA and Louisiana DEQ standards, obtaining a comparable new industrial discharge permit would require 2–5 years of regulatory process — with no guaranteed approval.
This permit exists. It was obtained in 1994–1995. It is documented with a full 10-sheet engineering set, sealed by a licensed Louisiana engineer. It conveys with the facility.
Every element of this facility was designed as part of a unified, engineered system — not assembled piecemeal. The result is a complete, documented, As-Built certified water and wastewater treatment infrastructure that conveys in its entirety with the real estate.
Real estate and infrastructure offered through Bonnette Auctions. Personal property — including 931 lots of world-class European textile equipment — offered through Redfield Group Auctions. All infrastructure, permits, and engineering documentation conveys with the real estate.
