ABSTRACT:	This report concerns the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Wadi Hassan area for collecting wastewater from three towns namely An Nuayyima, Kitm and Shatana. The project is located at Greater Irbid Area approximately 20 km east of Irbid city. It includes a wastewater treatment plant, pump station, force main, network and connecting gravity pipelines. The purposes of the study were to determine soil and foundation conditions at the site of the proposed project and to develop recommendations to guide design and construction of foundations and facilities. These purposes were accomplished in the following phases: 1. Reconnaissance study of the site which was descriptive in nature. 2. Drilling of borings and insitu testing to determine subsurface conditions and obtaining samples for laboratory analysis. 3. Performing laboratory tests on samples recovered from the sample boreholes to evaluate pertinent physical and mechanical properties of the materials. 4. Analysis of all field and laboratory data in order to develop the required recommendations. The project can be divided into two geomorphologic areas as follows: * Wastewater Treatment Plant Area. * Network Areas.
