1 Water, Wastewater & Stormwater Systems

2 Water Systems POTENTIAL GOAL Reduce use of potable water TECHNIQUE Collect rainwater for re-use CASE STUDY Phillip Merrill Environmental Center; Annapolis, MD Cisterns are used to collect and store rainwater that is re-used in the building Aesthetics of re-use water Additional Operation & Maintenance

3 Water Systems Reduce use of potable water TECHNIQUE Collect rainwater for re-use Seattle City Hall; Seattle, WA A cistern located in the basement is used to collect rainwater to be re-used for toilet flushing and irrigation purposes Aesthetics of re-use water Additional Operation & Maintenance

4 Water Systems Implement water conservation Use reclaimed water Irvine Ranch Water District; Irvine, CA Reclaimed water is 20% of the district s total water supply and provides irrigation for 80% of all commercial and community landscapes. In addition, reclaimed water is used for toilet flushing in several offices in the district. Reclaimed water demand Additional Operation & Maintenance

5 Water Systems Implement water conservation Use reclaimed water University of Arizona; Tucson, AZ The campus uses reclaimed water for irrigation and for evaporative cooling of campus facilities. Reclaimed water demand Additional Operation & Maintenance

6 Treat wastewater on site Constructed Wetland Wastewater Systems Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Motherhouse Renovation; Monroe, MI Greywater from the facility s s sinks and showers are treated in wetlands and reused on site in the building s toilets Land Intensive Additional operation & maintenance

7 Wastewater Systems Treat wastewater on site Re-use sewage solids and compost North Shore Country Club; Glenview, Il. A mix of nutrient-rich rich biosolids from the Chicago Metropolitan Sanitary Sewer District and compost made from yard waste are used to upkeep the golf course grass. Aesthetics/ Public Acceptance/ Odor Issues Land Intensive Additional Operation & Maintenance

8 Treat wastewater on site On-site package plant Wastewater Systems Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Smith History Center; Charlottesville, VA An advanced wastewater treatment plant [BioMicrobics (FAST system)] coupled with a drip irrigation disposal system Proprietary System Requires Suitable Soils Land Intensive Additional Operation & Maintenance

9 Wastewater Systems Treat wastewater on site Membrane Bioreactor Creemore Wastewater Treatment Plant; Ontario, Canada Conversion from individual septic tanks to a centralized municipal wastewater treatment plant using a Membrane Bioreactor Additional Skilled Operation & Maintenance High Maintenance

10 Wastewater Systems Treat wastewater on site Biological Wastewater Treatment Living Machine TM at Oberlin College Lewis Center; Oberlin, OH Biological wastewater treatment designed to replicate natural purification Uses sunlight, greenhouse, organisms, plants to breakdown and digest organic pollutants Proprietary System Bio-remediation is an evolving technology

11 Stormwater Systems Replicate natural hydrology Control stormwater quality, rate and volume Morgan View Student Housing Complex at Morgan State University; Baltimore, MD Grass channels, bioretention areas, sand filters and underground storage pipes are used to control stormwater runoff Land Intensive Maintenance required Hydraulic gradient

12 Replicate natural hydrology Stormwater Systems Control stormwater quality, rate and volume University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Rams Head Center; Chapel Hill, NC A green roof and underground cistern are used for water reduction and re- use Aesthetic of re-use water Hydraulic gradient

13 Replicate natural hydrology Stormwater Systems Control stormwater quality, rate and volume SW 12 th Avenue Green Street ; Portland, OR Landscaped stormwater planters are used to capture street runoff Infiltration capacity of soils Hydraulic gradient Public vs. Private maintenance

14 Stormwater Systems Replicate natural systems Control stormwater quality, rate and volume Siskiyou Green Street; Portland, OR Landscaped curb extensions reduces the amount of stormwater that flows into the sewer system Infiltration capacity of soils Hydraulic gradient Public vs. Private maintenance Roadway capacity

15 Stormwater Systems Replicate natural hydrology Make stormwater improvements off-site Baltimore City Schools Greening Program; Baltimore, MD Convert unnecessary asphalt pavements to lawn and plantings POTENTIAL BARRIER: Intergovernmental coordination

16 Utility Corridors Limit land disturbance Establish Utility Corridors University of Maryland Baltimore County; Baltimore, MD Master plan included alignment for a utility tunnel between buildings Quantity and depth of excavation Gravity systems not well-suited for tunnel

17 Utility Corridors Limit land disturbance Establish Utility Corridors Towson University West Village; Baltimore, MD Master plan includes alignment for utility corridor Quantity and depth of excavation Gravity systems not well-suited for tunnel

18 Water, Wastewater, Stormwater Flexibility, Adaptability in Innovative Systems Membrane bioreactor for wastewater Town of Huntsville Wastewater Treatment Plant; Huntsville, TN Wastewater Treatment Plant was retrofitted with a membrane bioreactor package plant that doubled treatment capacity. POTENTIAL BARRIER: Additional skilled Operation & Maintenance High Maintenance Systems

19 Water, Wastewater, Stormwater Systems Standardize de-centralized water, wastewater, stormwater systems? To the extent possible, standardize the various components for the multiple innovative treatment/distribution systems Additional Operation & Maintenance May limit implementation of innovative facilities

20 Funding for Innovative Systems Funding for Innovative Systems Harvard University Green Campus Loan Fund; Cambridge, MA The Green Campus Loan Fund provides interest-free capital for high performance campus design, operations, maintenance and occupant behavior projects.
