Project Title:
KY 150 Bypass Sewer Extension and System Upgrades

Project Description:
The SWSC is proposing to extend gravity sewer along KY 150 Bypass and Lincoln Park Road to a new regional pump station at the intersection of KY 150 and Lincoln Park Road (KY 528). This extension will eliminate three (3) of SWSC’s ten (10) pump stations: City Barn Pump Station, Washington County High School Pump Station, and Industrial Park Pump Station. A new force main will be installed from the new pump station to an existing manhole slightly upstream of the WWTP headworks. The project includes approximately 7,200 linear feet of new gravity sewer and 6,900 linear feet of a new force main. SWSC also wishes to install new magnetic flow meters on the remaining pump stations in their system. At its WWTP, SWSC plans on re-purposing its oldest building into a new storage area. In this rehabilitation, new energy efficient lighting and the replacement of old electric switch gear will be replaced.

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 anticipated growth in the upstream sewer sheds of the pump stations that are proposed to be eliminated would likely require upgrades in capacity in the near future. In addition to proactively planning for the future, this project eliminates ‘double pumping’ flow through several stations and force mains prior to reaching the WWTP. Eliminating these stations will eliminate unnecessary energy costs and reduce routine maintenance by limited staff at these pump 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.

To meet current demand, plan for the anticipated growth in the area and provide the needed infrastructure to support it. Approximately 7,200 linear feet of new gravity sewer, one regional pump station, and 6,900 linear feet of new force main. It would eliminate three existing pump stations and expands sewer service to 150+ acres of previously un-sewered areas. It is in alignment with the approved Facilities Plan for SWSC. Also, installing magnetic flow meters on the discharge line of all its pump stations.

Alternate B:

This alternative is a reactive approach to anticipated growth. In this alternative, each of the three pump stations will be upgraded as flow increases. These new upgrades will include larger wet wells and pumps. The electrical components at the stations would likely need to be upsized.

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.
