Sebago Lake Campground

Using their Qualification Based Selection (QBS) process, the State of Maine selected HEB to provide engineering and construction administration services for improvements intended to bring facilities in the 250-site campground into compliance with the provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). HEB worked closely with the State’s design committee to complete a base map and a facilities evaluation report that identified a variety of deficiencies at the campground. HEB was then retained to provide engineering design and construction administration services for a series of improvements aimed at overcoming those deficiencies.

            The Campground’s water supply was improved by construction of a new will, pump house, pump controls and transmission pipeline. Modern, universally accessible amenities buildings were designed and constructed using low maintenance, water saving fixtures. Each building includes restrooms, showers and a dishwashing/graywater disposal station. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed and a groundwater model was created to study the affect the campground’s subsurface sewage disposal system has on water quality in Sebago Lake. The decreased sewage discharge resulting from the use of modern low-flow plumbing fixtures will prolong the useful life of the existing leachbeds and help safeguard the Lake’s water quality.
