Project Title:
Richmond - TC15 Overflow Elimination Project
Project Description:
This project includes a capacity analysis and computer modeling report to determine the necessary improvements required to alleviate the overflows. It is anticipated that approximately 2,900 linear feet (lf) of 8-inch and 2,715 lf of 10-inch gravity sewer along with 37 manholes will need to be replaced with approximately 2,900 lf of 12-inch and 2,715 lf of 15-inch and 37 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:
The TC15 drainage basin of the Richmond Utilities Sanitary Sewer Collection System is subject to frequent wet weather induced overflows at three primary locations: TC15-M4- 11, TC15-M8-18, and TC15-M10-3. During the previous year, wet weather overflows in these locations have occurred at least 10 times. The cause of the overflows is not limited to inflow and infiltration in the collection system. There are confirmed deficiencies in the infrastructure that includes six 90 degree turns in the alignment; the presence of larger diameter gravity collectors feeding into small diameter collectors; parallel line installations, and changes in cross section area of lines entering and leaving manholes. The result of these deficiencies is compounded by the high level of development in the collection system since the main line was originally installed. The three subject overflows are on the federal EPA Overflow List and have been designated for elimination in the Kentucky Division of Water (KYDOW) approved Sanitary Sewer Overflow Plan.
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.
Install a new pump station located near TC15-M4-11to pump the sewage beyond TC15-M10-3 to a point in the trunk sewer that can convey the total flow without causing overflows in the system.
Alternate B:
Replace approximately 2,900 lf of 8-inch, 2,715 lf of 10-inch gravity sewer and 37 manholes with approximately 2,900 lf of 12-inch, 2,715 lf of 15-inch and 37 manholes.

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:

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.
