2 FNAL REPORT EXECUTVE SUMMARY LEVEL ANALYSS RYAN PARK WATER SUPPLY PROJECT RYAN PARK, CARBON COUNTY, WYOMNG TO THE WYOMNG WATER DEVELOPMENT COMMSSON SPONSORED BY THE NORTDvEST RyAN PARK WATER AND SEvvER DSTRCT Submitted By PMPC 118 E. Bridge Ave. Saratoga, Wyoming NOVEMBER 1994

3 EXECUTVE SUMMARY PROJECT NEED The Ryan Park area does not have a community water system capable of adequately serving the area residents. The present water supply consists of individual wells and local springs. The existing wells are shallow and produce large quantities of fine sand. The most pressing problems are the lack of a sufficient quantity of water from the individual wells and the high pump maintenance caused by the sand. PROJECT HSTORY The members of the Ryan Park Tract lib" Water Company requested the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) to conduct a Level study to determine the feasibility of constructing a community water system to serve the area. The objectives of the Level Report were,to: 1) inventory the existing systems, 2) estimate water demands for the service area, 3) analyze water supply alternatives, 4) recommend alternatives, 5} develop preliminary designs, 6) develop preliminary cost estimates for the Ryan Park Water Supply Project. At the completion of the Level study and the formation of the Northwest Ryan Park Water and Sewer District (District), WWDC authorized a Level study. This Level analysis evaluates alternative groundwater and surface water sources for supplying water to the Ryan Park community. The original scope of work was amended to include additional groundwater exploration on the valley floor as well as on Barrett Ridge. COMMUNTY AND POPULATON SERVED BY PROJECT The recommended service area is the Northwest Ryan Park Water and Sewer District, (District), and areas immediately adjacent to it. Approximately 73 people will be served by this project initially. The project service area is shown on Figure No. ES-1. E.S.-1

5 WATER CONSUMPTON AND POPULATON PROJECTONS The following water consumption and population figures were used in the preliminary system design.

FRE FLOWS Fire flow was not a condition of design for the "Ryan Park Water Supply Project". However, an analysis considering fire flow of 500 gpm, based on the recommended piping system was completed. The system will provide maximum daily flow plus 500 gpm fire flow to properties, with a 30 psi minimum residual system pressure. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATVE The recommended alternative is a complete community water system that will serve the District, the lots within the District boundary but not included in the District, and those lots bordering the District. The recommended system consists of the Barrett Ridge Wells, the Ryan Park Well, water treatment, transmission lines, distribution lines and a storage tank. Water meters will be installed on individual services. Pressure reducing valves will be installed on those services having pressures in excess of 70 pounds per square inch (psi). The recommended system is shown on Figure No. ES-2. E.S.-3

7 WATER SUPPLY The water will be supplied by wells located on Barrett Ridge, Section 28 and on Lot 9, Block 4, Ryan Park 3rd Addition, Carbon County. For the near term, three to five years, the sources located on Barrett Ridge and in Ryan Park will be adequate. As the requirements for water approach the maximum developed well capacities of 34 gallons per minute (gpm), additional sources of water will be required. These sources may be in the form of additional wells on Barrett Ridge and Brush Creek or a surface water treatment plant utilizing Barrett Creek as its source. The anticipated quantity required at build out is 72 gpm. WATER TREATMENT The well supplies are classified as true groundwater water sources and not groundwater sources under surface water influence. Disinfection is not required at this time but this may change in the future. Disinfection is the only treatment anticipated. WATER TRANSMSSON AND DSTRBUTON Water systems are to be designed to maintain a 20 psi minimum residual pressure at ground level for all locations under all flow conditions. Maximum hour flow is the condition for design of the transmission and distribution portions of this system. A 4" transmission line is proposed from PC-1 and PC-1A wells to the water storage tank. The NP-1 well will be connected directly to the distribution system through oversized detention piping to allow for adequate chlorine contact time. A 6 11 transmission line will connect the water storage tank and the distribution system. Additional 6" distribution lines will constitute the remainder of the system. The final transmission and distribution system configuration may change.during final design when the service area and user locations are finalized. WATER STORAGE nstallation of one 103,000 gallon buried reinforced concrete storage tank is being proposed. Location of the tank is not final, pending Forest Service clearance processes. E.S.-5

8 ENVRONMENTAL STUDES! CONSTRUCTON PERMTS Several state and federal agencies require submittal of information regarding this project for their review and approval prior to authorizing construction. The known agencies that will be involved n the permitting and approval process are: USEPA DEQ RDA USDA!FS SHPO G&F WWDC COE USF&W - approval of plans and specifications - approval of plans and specifications, issue permit to construct, approve stream and wetlands details - approval of plans and specifications, review cultural and environmental impacts, wage rate determinations - approval of easements across Federal lands, and cultural and environmental clearances - cultural clearances - environmental clearances - approval of plans and specifications - approval of construction methods and wetlands determination - fish and wildlife clearances GEOTECHNCAL NVESTGATONS Area residents and local contractors were interviewed in an attempt to determine potential subsurface problem areas. No additional subsurface investigations were conducted as a part of this study. A visual examination of potential tank sites was conducted.
