Project Title:
West Hickman Subbasin WH-7 WWS Tank
Project Description:
Design and construct a 5.0 million gallon wastewater storage facility located in the West Hickman sewershed subbasin WH-7. This project will include a concrete ground storage tank, diversion structure, 8.5MGD wet weather pump station, and approximately 800LF of 16inch gravity, 800LF of 20inch FM and 550LF of 12inch gravity sewer. Estimated project cost is $19,087,695. Project proposed in LFUCG's Remedial Measures Plan, submitted to USEPA on October 12, 2011.
Need For Project:
Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
Existing sanitary sewer that lacks sufficient capacity to meet LFUCG's EPA mandated Capacity Assurance Program. There are 13 nearby recurring SSOs that this project (along with the associated trunk sewer upsize projects) will eliminate. Project proposed in LFUCG's Remedial Measures Plan, submitted to USEPA on October 12, 2011.
Project Alternatives:
Alternate A:
Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.
Eliminate sufficient private property inflow and infiltration so that pipeline has required capacity. Private property work must be complete and successful by June 30, 2015 or LFUCG may be subject to stipulated penalties under its Consent Decree.
Alternate B:
Construct additional wastewater storage tanks upstream from the project area, incurring higher costs and disrupting established neighborhoods.

Green Infrastructure:
Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
Component
Cost
Item 1:
Implementation of green streets.
Item 2:
Wet Weather management systems for parking areas.
Item 3:
Implementation of comprehensive urban forestry programs.
Item 4:
Stormwater harvesting and reuse.
Item 5:
Downspout disconnection.
Item 6:
Comprehensive retrofit programs designed to keep wet weather discharges out of sewer systems.
Item 7:
Establishment or restoration of riparian buffers, floodplains, wetlands or other natural features.
Item 8:
Management of wetlands.
Item 9:
Purchase of land or easements on land that has a direct benefit to water quality.
Total Cost:
* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.
If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.
Water Efficiency:
The use of improved technologies and practices to deliver equal or better services with less water. Water efficiency encompasses conservation and reuse efforts, as well as water loss reduction and prevention, to protect water resources for the future. Examples include:

Item 6:
Recycling and water reuse projects that replace potable sources with non-potable sources (Gray water, condensate, and wastewater effluent reuse systems, extra treatment or distribution costs associated with water reuse).
Item 7:
Retrofit or replacement of existing landscape irrigation/agricultural systems to more efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation systems (rain and moisture sensing equipment)
Item 8:
Water meter replacement with traditional water meters.*
Item 9:
