Project Title:
Burkesville WWTP Improvements

Project Description:
Burkesville Wastewater Treatment Plant’s existing design capacity is 0.5 MGD and has an average daily flow of .381 MGD. Plant capacity will not be increased as a result of the project. GRW Engineers has been procured to perform engineering services for the project. The Project will include improvements to the following facilities: the plant’s headworks facilities, which includes replacing the grit removal system and influent sampler, refurbishing the influent piping, HVAC, electrical and architectural components; replacement of the oxidation ditch equipment (motors, gear boxes, line shafts, bearings, etc.); replacement of the final clarifier equipment; replacement of the chlorine gas disinfection system with a peracetic acid system; improvements to the chlorine contact basin; new RAS/WAS pumping equipment; new sludge processing equipment and upgrades to the existing electrical and instrumentation equipment. In addition to the work at the treatment plant site, the city will replace the existing pump station, (approximately 100 GPM) that serves Rocore, a manufacturing company located in Burkesville. This pump station has nearly reached the end of its usable life. UPDATE August 2021: During the current construction project it was discovered that additional work was needed on the Oxidation Ditch. This work includes replacing the oxidation ditch bearings, couplings, drive shafts, gear boxes and control panels.

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:
In response to wastewater treatment plant operator reports of failing equipment, the City of Burkesville asked Kentucky Rural Water Association (KRWA) to prepare a Condition Assessment in 2016. The KRWA report states that the wastewater treatment plant faces several major issues that need to be addressed to avoid problems which could lead to regulatory non-compliance violations. The wastewater treatment plant is a 25-year-old facility with infrastructure that is structurally or operationally deficient, and in some cases, inoperable, such as the grit removal system. The proposed updates will increase efficiency and reliability, eliminate the chlorine gas disinfection system, thus reducing hazards for plant employees and for the city as a whole in the event of a chlorine gas leak, and bring the treatment plant up to date with new regulatory requirements. UPDATE August 2021: This disc aeration equipment has become unreliable and a continuous source of maintenance for the City. When this equipment breaks the quality of the wastewater treatment is reduced, resulting in failures to meet the levels required by division of water.

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 new regional wastewater treatment plant at a new site. This alternative would be cost prohibitive.

UPDATE August 2021: Some of the Oxidation Ditch equipment described above could be possibly be rehabilitated.  Further investigation will be required to determine exactly what equipment could be rehabilitated and what would need to be replaced.

Alternate B:

Construct pump station to pump Burkesville's wastewater to Columbia or Monticello.  This is cost prohibitive due to distance between cities.

UPDATE August 2021: Retrofit the Oxidation Ditch with mounted or floating aeration equipment in lieu of the existing disc aerators.

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

The existing chlorine disinfection system will be replaced with a peracetic acid system, which will eliminate the use of chlorine and sulfur dioxide. The reduction in chemicals will be in elimination of sulphur dioxide that is used to dechlorinate the wastewater. With chlorine, you must dechlorinate. PAA does not require dechlorination. Further, PAA is a much safer chemical to use than chlorine.
