Des Moines unveils plans for a $40 million phosphorus recovery plant
Axios Des Moines: A $40 million phosphorus recovery facility will be constructed by the Des Moines Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation Authority under a plan presented to the city’s Urban Design Review Board last week. The WRA anticipates tougher state and federal regulations to limit phosphorus and is trying to get ahead of them, said Larry Hare, the WRA’s treatment manager.
