Project Title:
Inez Wastewater System Improvement Project

Project Description:
The Inez Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was originally constructed in 1989, one oxidation ditch and one clarifier. The WWTP underwent a modification in 2011 adding a second clarifier. The original clarifier was never upgraded or modified and is beyond its useful life, currently inoperable. The Scope of Work for the WWTP Improvements Project includes but is not limited to site work, the addition of an oxidation ditch, septage receiving station, belt filter press, sludge hauling equipment and the construction of a solids processing building. The project includes the installation of a new influent flow meter, additional valves, yard piping, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and upgrades to the electrical system. Also included is the rehabilitation of the existing equipment, the addition of a sludge storage & drainage pad, piping relocation, rehabilitation of the original clarifier, installation of site conduit, wiring, and repairing the entry road leading to the Plant. The project also seeks to replace pump stations #1 (Black Log Rd) and #2 (Hardin Bottom), replace floats and add level transducers, electrical upgrades, and the installation of ten (10) grinder pumps throughout the collection system.

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:
Due to the age and condition of the plant the project is very much needed in order to remedy the numerous issues the County is currently facing in regards to their water and sewer issues.

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.

Make small incremental upgrades in hopes of completing them eventually.

Alternate B:

Do Nothing.

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.

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Total integrated water resources management planning likely to result in a capital project.
Item 2:	Utility sustainability plan consistent with EPA’s sustainability policy.
Item 3:	Greenhouse gas inventory or mitigation plan and submission of a GHG inventory to a registry as long as it is being done for an SRF eligible facility.
Item 4:	Planning activities by a POTW to prepare for adaptation to the long-term effects of climate change and/or extreme weather.

Item 10:	POTW upgrades or retrofits that remove phosphorus for beneficial use, such as biofuel production with algae.*
Item 11:	Projects that significantly reduce or eliminate the use of chemicals in wastewater treatment.*
Item 12:	Treatment technologies that significantly reduce the volume of residuals, generation of residuals, or lower the amount of chemicals in the residuals.*
Item 13:	Educational activities and demonstration projects for water or energy efficiency.*
Item 14:	Projects that achieve the goals/objectives of utility asset management plans.*
Item 15:	Sub-surface land application of effluent and other means for groundwater recharge, such as spray irrigation and overland flow.*
