Project Title:
City of Burgin Sanitary Sewer Extension

Project Description:
The project consists of new collection and conveyance system to serve the unsewered community of Burgin. Wastewater will be collected and transported to the existing Danville WWTP for treatment. Major project components include 55,000 feet of gravity collection sewer, 20,000 feet of force main and one major pumping stations. The project will serve approximately 479 residential customers that currently rely on failing septic systems for on-site disposal. The project will also eliminate two package treatment plants which currently serve the Burgin Public Schools and a local restaurant. The project will address a significant environmental and human concern with a direct impact on ground water.

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:
Providing sewers for Burgin will improve the condition of ground water and surface water in the region, thereby increasing the overall health of the area. This area is rated as having the highest level of groundwater sensitivity. Burgin is underlain by karst geology, therefore what goes into the ground through sink holes, cracks and crevices directly affects the quality of the ground water. This ground water surfaces into local streams and eventually into Herrington Lake. Herrington Lake is a designated drinking water supply source. Many of the septic systems in Burgin are failing or are getting to an age that they will soon fail. There are also two package treatment plants in the City that discharge to the creek. One of these plants has significant recent KDOW enforcement concerns and both plants will be eliminated by this project. Mercer County Health Department has confirmed the presence of e-coli in the Burgin area, likely from the failing septic systems or WWTP issues. Providing sewers will decommission septic tanks and package plants and help to remediate the e-coli found in the area and thereby improving the ground water and surface water in the region.

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.

Construct a conventional gravity sewer system to collect wastewater from the Burgin area and convey it to Danville for treatment.  Construct a central pump station and force main to convey wastewater to Danville for treatment. This is the recommended alternative.

Alternate B:

Construct a low pressure, small diameter force main with grinder pump stations to collect wastewater in the Burgin area.  Construct a central pump station and force main to convey wastewater to Danville for treatment.

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:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Installing or retrofitting water efficient devices such as plumbing fixtures and appliances (toilets, showerheads, urinals).
Item 2:	Installing any type of water meter in previously unmetered areas (can include backflow prevention if in conjunction with meter replacement).
Item 3:	Replacing existing broken/malfunctioning water meters with AMR or smart meters, meters with leak detection, backflow prevention
Item 4:	Retrofitting/Adding AMR capabilities or leak equipment to existing meters.
Item 5:	Developing water audit and conservation plans, which are reasonably expected to result in a capital project.
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:	Projects that result from a water audit or water conservation plan.*
Item 10:	Storage tank replacement/rehabilitation to reduce water loss.*
Item 11:	New water efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation system, where there currently is not one.*
Total Cost:

* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.

If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.

Energy Efficiency:

Energy efficiency is the use of improved technologies and practices to reduce the energy consumption of water projects, use energy in a more efficient way, and/or produce/utilize renewable energy. Examples include:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, geothermal, and micro-hydroelectric, and biogas combined heat and power systems that provide power to a POTW.
Item 2:	POTW-owned renewable energy projects.
Item 3:	Collection system infiltration/inflow (I/I) detection equipment.
Item 4:	POTW energy management planning, including energy assessments, energy audits, optimization studies, and sub-metering of individual processes to determine high energy use areas
