■ Strategic permitting guidance ■ Owner’s advisory expertise ■ Alternate delivery method evaluation

■ Wastewater treatment plant replacement ■ Clean water initiative for an underserved community ■ Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)-controlled operations WSP is partnering with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) to deliver critical water infrastructure improvements across the Navajo Nation, including a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Shiprock, New Mexico. This project is part of a broader clean water initiative addressing the urgent need for reliable drinking water and sanitation in underserved communities. The Shiprock WWTP is in final design and will feature new headworks, an Extended Aeration Activated Sludge system, aerobic digesters, nutrient removal capabilities, disinfection systems, solids handling equipment, and upgraded electrical and SCADA controls. Site-specific enhancements include flood protection, a new operators’ building, an emergency generator, a bulk water station and septage receiving facilities. The new plant will replace aging infrastructure and ensure compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits, while also accommodating projected 20-year population growth. WSP’s long-standing collaboration with NTUA reflects our commitment to sustainable water access and public health, especially in this region where 30–40% of households lack running water.

■ Deep local expertise ■ Permitting, design and construction support

The City of Corpus Christi is advancing its water infrastructure through a comprehensive desalination initiative, aimed at enhancing long-term water supply resilience. The project encompasses infrastructure and facility design services, including underground utility locating, storm sewer improvements and geotechnical investigations. The scope spans civil, mechanical, utility, geotechnical and hydrology/ hydraulics disciplines. WSP is supporting the city with technical expertise in seawater reverse osmosis desalination, leveraging decades of experience in feasibility evaluations, design development and plant operations. The project aligns with Texas’s broader desalination strategy, as outlined in the State Water Plan and supported by the Texas Water Development Board. The initiative reflects a proactive approach to addressing water scarcity, regulatory compliance and climate resilience

WSP is supporting VWNJ on PFAS system design and permitting for Highlands Operations B – Package 3. This initiative addresses PFAS contamination across five municipalities in New Jersey: West Milford, Vernon Township, Woodridge, Andover and Independence. The project includes site-conscious design for small residential systems, leveraging WSP’s extensive experience in PFAS remediation and regulatory navigation. The scope encompasses permitting, design and construction support. WSP’s team brings deep familiarity with the sites and stakeholders, having worked on related projects since 2008. The treatment strategy centers on ion exchange using Purolite PFA694EBF resin, targeting six US Environmental Protection Agency-regulated PFAS compounds. The team includes experts in environmental engineering, permitting and construction inspection, all with New Jersey-specific experience. WSP’s approach emphasizes cost effective, future-ready solutions tailored to Veolia’s operational needs, supported by a strong client relationship and a proven track record in PFAS system delivery.
