Project Title:
Phase 24 Wastewater System Improvements and Upgrades

Project Description:
This project will replace the Burkesville Rd and Walmart Lift stations that are undersized. The Burkesville station will be relocated at a lower elevation to allow it to better operate hydraulically. Relocating the station will also require a force main to run from the new location to where the existing station is currently located (approximately 2,600 LF). There are currently six (6) individual grinder pumps that need to be replaced with new duplex style lift stations. Project will also include a grit removal system at the WWTP as well as replacing the last two diffusers and converting the disinfection system to PAA. The project will also include some much needed rehab to the collection system in the Fortune St, Monroe St and Young St. areas. This would be approx. 1,900 LF of manhole lining and lining 15-20 manholes.

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:
Relocating the Burkesville station will prevent the accumulation of air in the forcemain by moving it to the lowest point along the route. Air in the forcemain prevents the flow into the lift station and results in it backing up into forcemain until the air and blockage are removed manually. When installed this station was at the lowest point in the existing system but with large amounts of growth including a new highway in the area the system has changed significantly from a hydraulic point of view. The station has underwent one upgrade in 20 years to increase the pumping capacity but not the wet well storage space. To achieve the two hours of emergency storage the Division of Water requires will require a much larger wet well. The Walmart lift station has exceeded it's design life. The pumps are inefficient and undersized for the current flow. The work at the WWTP will remove grit from the influent wastewater. The grit is damaging to the pumping equipment so by removing the grit it will increase the life expectancy of the equipment. Two diffusers were replaced in a previous project. This project will replace the remaining two. PAA disinfection is much cheaper and more efficient way of disinfection. Rehab of the collection system will reduce the amount of I/I coming to the WWTP. The six (6) individual grinder stations were taken into the system over the years from developers need to be replaced with new properly sized duplex style lift stations.

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.

Add an additional lift station at low point of Burkesville St. to pump past the existing lift station.  Replace pumps at Walmart with new pump with same conditions.  Keep current disinfection at the WWTP.  Abandon section of gravity system and install individual grinder pumps and force main

Alternate B:

Leave system as is.

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.*

This project will switch the disinfection from chlorine gas to PAA. The amount of PAA needed is much less than the amount of chlorine they currently use. This will be a significant cost savings as well a much safer product to use for the staff.
