4 Regional Solution Solves Rural Northwest Ohio Waste Water Issues Northwestern Water and Sewer District improves sewer system for two communities Engineer Poggemeyer Design Group Contractors Underground Utilities and Peterson Construction Many rural communities run the risk of polluting groundwater with failing residential septic systems or aged wastewater treatment plants that are too costly for these areas to upgrade. Along the southern border of Wood County, Ohio, the small villages of Bairdstown and Bloomdale and their surrounding areas were faced with this wastewater issue. In 2013, the Village of Bairdstown contacted the Ohio EPA for assistance in dealing with failing septic systems and polluted streams. Photos courtesy of Northwestern Water and Sewer District With little revenue sources, the villages joined the Northwestern Water and Sewer District (the District) to help them comply. Built in 1982, Bloomdale needed to upgrade its extended aeration wastewater treatment plant, and Bairdstown s decaying septic infrastructure needed to be addressed immediately. Knowing a combined project could be addressed efficiently and more cost-effective, the District brought the tiny villages together to solve their wastewater issues. In August of 2016, OWDA approved a $5.2 million WPCLF loan with principal forgiveness for the construction of a sanitary sewer collection system. Bloomdale s treatment plant is being replaced with a new oxidation ditch. Bairdstown s failing septic systems will soon be replaced with gravity sanitary sewers to collect the wastewater. Two new pump stations will transport the flow through 15,000 feet of force main east to the new Bloomdale plant. 2

5 TO: THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CITIZENS OF THE STATE According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, investing in infrastructure is essential to support healthy, vibrant communities. Infrastructure is also critical for long-term economic growth, increasing GDP, employment, household income, and exports. Without prioritizing our nation s infrastructure needs, deteriorating conditions can become a drag on the economy. According to the 2013 Report Card for America s Infrastructure, Ohio needs to invest $26 billion over the next 20 years. Ohio communities are responding. OWDA approved loans totaling $1,015,062,205 in 2016, the largest amount in the 49-year history of the Authority was the second highest year in loan awards at $1,013,811,646. OWDA funded 306 projects in 81 of the 88 counties in Ohio. These projects replaced aging pipes and sewers, expanded the capacity of treatment plants, and installed technology for better water quality. To respond to the 2016 loan demand, OWDA raised over $768 million by issuing bonds in all three major programs: Fresh Water, WPCLF, and DWAF. Both Moody s Investors Service and Standard and Poor s Rating Services rated all of the 2016 issuances Aaa and AAA. OWDA continues to support research for the advancement of science in the areas of water and wastewater. In 2016, OWDA awarded research and development grants related to cyanobacteria, storm water bioretention, and nutrient runoff from concentrated animal feeding operations. In response to the lead crisis in the country and at the request of Ohio EPA, OWDA provided $2,000,000 for the testing of lead fixtures in Ohio schools. The Ohio Water Development Authority will continue to rely on our past strengths to meet the ongoing needs of the state and to protect the future. Sincerely, James P. Joyce, Chairman Steven J. Grossman, Executive Director 3

6 OWDA 2016 OVERVIEW In 1968, the Ohio Legislature created the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) to protect Ohio s natural resources and to allow Ohio s local governments to come together to support each other cooperatively for their futures. From the beginning, OWDA has responded to the needs of the local governments by lending funds, creating new programs and developing new technologies for protecting our environment. During 2016, OWDA loaned $1,015,062,204 to 306 projects through its loan programs. This is the largest funding level in the history of OWDA. The following report will highlight OWDA s present efforts in OWDA continued to work with our many funding partners to fund many diverse environmental projects. OWDA worked with the Ohio Development Services Agency to provide loans from both the Brownfield Loan Program and the Alternative Stormwater Loan Program. OWDA continued to partner with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) to manage the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund and the Drinking Water Assistance Fund. OWDA collaborated with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission to provide assistance to schools to replace lead plumbing fixtures Financings Since the Ohio Water Development Authority s creation by the State Legislature in 1968, the OWDA has borrowed a large portion of the funds it lends, both for its own programs and the programs it manages with Ohio EPA. OWDA has always pursued borrowings that assure the Authority the lowest cost of funds in order to maintain low borrowing rates to the local governments of Ohio that we serve. Through this philosophy, OWDA has focused not only on the present needs of Ohio s local governments but also contributed to their strengthening financial futures. During 2016, OWDA had four bond issuances totaling $654,050,000 to raise funds for its ongoing programs. On March 2, 2016, OWDA issued the $169,050,000 Fresh Water 2016 Series A Bonds and on July 7, 2016, OWDA issued the $150,000,000 Fresh Water 2016 Series B Bonds. OWDA will use the proceeds from these issuances to make loans to local governments for water and wastewater projects under the Fresh Water Program. On May 4, 2016, OWDA issued $200,000,000 WPCLF Series 2016 A Variable Rate Bonds. OWDA will use the proceeds to make loans to local governments for wastewater infrastructure projects under the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund Program. On August 3, 2016, OWDA issued $135,000,000 Drinking Water Assistance Fund Series 2016 A Bonds. OWDA will use the proceeds to make loans to local governments for water projects under the Drinking Water Assistance Fund Program. All four issuances were rated Aaa by Moody s Investors Service and AAA by Standard and Poor s Ratings Service. Moody s stated, The Aaa rating reflects the strong security provided by the size, diversity and credit quality of the loan pool, the pledge of substantial funds and crosscollateralization of the Water Pollution Control Loan and the Drinking Water Assistance Fund programs, and the Authority s established track record of successful management of this and other programs. 4

7 A Fresh Start to Drinking Water for the City of Piqua New WTP funded by OWDA s Fresh Water Program Engineer CDM Smith Contractor Peterson Construction Photo courtesy of the City of Piqua During 2006, Ohio EPA conducted an inspection of the City of Piqua s drinking water treatment plant (WTP), which was originally built in 1925, and determined that, based on the age and condition of the equipment, the facility would not be able to maintain regulatory compliance in the upcoming years. Specific areas of concern included removal of disinfectant by-products, removal of seasonally high levels of atrazine from one of the City s source waters, and treatment of toxicity relating to algae blooms. Planning studies were conducted to explore viable options, and ultimately recommended the construction of a new WTP. In December of 2014, OWDA awarded a $45,667,800 Fresh Water loan (including planning and design costs) to the City of Piqua for the construction of a brand new 6.75 million gallons per day (MGD) drinking water treatment plant for the City s approximately 8,800 customers. The facility, which will treat surface water from multiple sources, will use conventional treatment technologies including flocculation/sedimentation, Granular Activated Carbon filters, rapid sand filtration, and water softening provided through a lime/ soda ash method. The new facility will also be switching from use of chlorine gas, which has concerns relating to leaks/ contamination that require a facility to identify a kill zone, to liquid sodium hypochlorite, a much safer disinfecting agent. Groundbreaking for the new plant took place on January 28, 2015, and construction is near completion. It is expected that Piqua will be producing water in the new facility by the end of April This project is being completed in conjunction with other drinking water improvement efforts being undertaken by the City, including a recently completed off-site pipeline project to improve conveyance to distribution mains and a new water tower. 5

8 107 Projects Awarded in Fresh Water Funding Established in 1992, the Fresh Water Program replaced OWDA s original revolving loan program. During 2016, the Fresh Water Revolving Loan Program funded 107 loans totaling $251,043,629; consisting of 35 water construction loans for $200,583,047; 40 wastewater construction loans for $44,492,328; 17 water planning and design loans for $2,565,239; and 15 wastewater planning and design loans for $3,403,015. The 2016 total Fresh Water funding was a 120% increase from the 2015 funding level. Loans from the program provide financing to local governments for the costs of planning, designing, acquiring and constructing wastewater collection and treatment facilities, and drinking water distribution and treatment facilities. Communities receiving loans under the Fresh Water Program can receive as much as a 1% discount to the standard interest rate. Loans to an individual local government are limited annually to a $15 million total at the 1.0% discount, with an additional $10 million available at a 0.5% discount. Fresh Water loans have a maximum term of 30 years. The criteria for communities to receive each 0.5% interest rate discount are: to be under Findings and Orders from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA); to connect to another system for treatment services; to have been a previous borrower from the OWDA revolving loan fund; to purchase another system; to address health concerns; or to have a state-approved Balanced Growth Plan. OWDA awarded the largest Fresh Water loan to the City of Columbus for $103,199,806 for the construction of a new ion exchange treatment facility at the Dublin Road Water Treatment Plant. OWDA also awarded the second largest Fresh Water loan to the City of Columbus for $61,097,694 for the construction of upgrades to the Parsons Avenue Water Treatment Plant including new primary softening basin equipment, rehabilitation of the secondary softening basin equipment, and construction of a recarbonation building. Communities with a population less than 5,000 can apply for a Community Assistance loans. Created in 1997, the Community Assistance Program (CA), funded from the Fresh Water Program, provides construction loans at a rate lower than the Fresh Water Program interest rate to local governments that: will have projected sewer user charges above 1.5% of the community s MHI for wastewater projects; or will have projected water user charges above 1.1% of the community s MHI for water projects. In 2016, OWDA increased the maximum award for a CA project from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000.

9 Mount Orab begins WWTP expansion WWTP Improvements funded by OWDA s Community Assistance Program Engineer CDM Smith Contractor Dugan & Meyers Construction Company Photo courtesy of CDM Smith The Village of Mt. Orab is implementing a phased approach to improving its wastewater treatment plant to increase capacity and provide a higher level of treatment. The Village has seen significant growth in recent years. The Village population increased 60% between 2000 and 2010, which has accompanied new commercial and industrial development. The Village has made it a goal to cost-effectively maintain and operate a wastewater treatment plant that will outpace growth, provide consistent treatment, minimize ongoing plant maintenance problems, and secure plant personnel safety. The Phase 1 WWTP project funded by a $3,380,792 OWDA loan broke ground in The village is constructing a new preliminary treatment building housing a mechanically-cleaned fine bar screen and grit separation equipment, a new aerated sludge holding tank with new positive displacement blowers, a new alum feed system for phosphorus removal, and a new elevated influent channel and splitter box. Prior to the improvement project, the plant s in-line equalization basin, outdoor bar screen, lack of grit removal, and single sludge tank created constant disruptions to plant operation and maintenance. The plant s NPDES permit issued in 2013 included phosphorus limits for the plant effluent. With an eye on growth in the region, the Village of Mt. Orab took action to implement the changes necessary to meet NPDES permit requirements, improve operation and maintenance at the site, and prepare for a future plant capacity increase. Not only will plant effluent reliably meet permitted phosphorus loadings when the improvements are completed in 2017, but plant staff will be able to safely utilize the industry s best treatment technology in their new preliminary treatment building. After improvements the plant s existing equalization tank will only be used when plant influent exceeds the plant s rated capacity with the use of the new elevated influent channel and splitter box. In addition, the redundancy provided by the new aerated sludge holding tank will allow plant staff to perform maintenance on their existing sludge handling equipment without disruptions to plant operation. The new preliminary treatment building will use a specially-designed geothermal heat pump system to cost effectively heat and cool the indoor process areas. The Village of Mt. Orab has successfully utilized geothermal heat pump systems at several facilities to keep ongoing heating, ventilation and air conditioning costs low. 7

10 148 projects awarded WPCLF funding During 2016, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) made loans for 127 construction projects totaling $623,730,451 and 21 planning and design projects totaling $14,589,506. The 2016 WPCLF funding total of $638,319,957 was a 16% decrease from the 2015 level. The WPCLF, administered by Ohio EPA and OWDA, started in 1989 from capitalization grants provided by the federal government through the Clean Water Act. The WPCLF offers below market-rate loans to Ohio s communities to undertake improvements to their wastewater collection and treatment systems. OWDA awarded the largest WPCLF loan in 2016 to the City of Columbus for construction of the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer Tunnel. This $108,974,000 project is a 10- foot diameter sewer constructed of precast concrete segments that form as the tunnel boring machine mines through the soil and rock. The WPCLF also made a $69,449,940 loan to the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District for the construction of the East 140 th Street consolidation and relief sewer as part of the Dugway Storage Tunnel System as required by a federal consent order. During 2016, the WPCLF funded nine Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Projects (WRRSP) to four communities: City of Akron, Hamilton County, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and the City of Toledo. Ohio EPA established the WRRSP program in 2000 to allow WPCLF loan recipients to sponsor environmental projects that benefit water quality. Various environmental organizations implement the projects, which can include the purchase of land or conservation easements, and the preservation and maintenance of wetlands, stream banks or conservation areas. The funded projects total $15,000,500.

The DWAF Program was created in 1998 with capitalization grants from the US EPA, under the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996, to provide funds to public water 8

11 systems for the cost of facility improvements to meet Safe Drinking Water Act standards. OWDA awarded the largest 2016 DWAF loan to the City of Painesville in Lake County for $17,347,066. The project will construct a 36-inch diameter raw water intake pipe. The pipe will extend from the shoreline to approximately 4,000 feet into Lake Erie. During 2016, the DWAF provided 20 communities with funds to purchase Cyanotoxin Testing Equipment, supplies, and training for analysis of toxins associated with harmful algal blooms in both the Lake Erie watershed and the Ohio River watershed. These communities requested $406,757 from the program. City of Sandusky Installs an Activated Carbon Feed System Activated Carbon Feed System Improvements at the WTP funded by the Drinking Water Assistance Fund Engineer CT Consultants Contractor Mosser Construction In Ohio, seasonal harmful algal blooms (HABs) have recently increased in frequency and intensity. HABs can result in recreational, human health, and fish consumption advisories for lakes and reservoirs. In addition, they can have disastrous economic impacts on local communities. These blooms have greatly affected many water resources in Ohio and have caused concern about drinking water safety. For water treatment plants using Lake Erie as the water source, the appearance of toxins associated with harmful algal blooms and high concentrations of disinfection by-products (DBPs) are two major concerns. Photo courtesy of CT Consultants During September of 2016, OWDA awarded a $2,071,950 Drinking Water Assistance Fund loan to the City of Sandusky for the installation of a powdered activated carbon feed system and fluorescence equipment. The project is expected to improve reliability, help control algal toxins and remove total organic carbon (TOC) for the control of trihalomethanes at the Big Island Water Works drinking water treatment plant serving the City s approximately 9,300 customers. The project will replace the City s undersized carbon system, while providing options for alternate delivery points and feed rates, putting the City in a better position to address future potential issues related to algal toxins. 9

12 Research and Development Grants Cyanobacteria Blooms, Nutrient Reduction, and Microcystin On October 27, 2016, OWDA awarded four project grants totaling $773,947 from the Research and Development (RD) Grant Program. Created in 1985, the RD Grant Program supports research and development of new and innovative means to treat, control, prevent or minimize pollution. OWDA works with other State agencies, universities or colleges, or local governments to develop cutting-edge methods and to pass them on to all of Ohio s communities to both protect the environment and to provide financial savings. Since its inception, the RD Program has awarded 140 grants totaling $22,154,550. The 2016 RD grants awarded cover a range of water-related topics: The OWDA Board awarded The Ohio State University (OSU) a $199,911 grant for a project titled Assessing Ultrasound as a Source Water Reservoir Management Strategy to Control Cyanobacteria Blooms. Ultrasound is a physical control strategy that may be an important bloom prevention and mitigation strategy. Compared to other physical strategies and use of algecides, ultrasound has the advantages of low energy, no chemical addition, and the possibility that cell lysis and release of toxins does not occur. This project seeks to provide insight on ultrasound as a reservoir management strategy allowing for more informed decision making relating to the use of this emerging technology. OSU will collaborate with the City of Columbus on this project. Awardee Project Title Grant Award The Ohio State University Assessing Ultrasound as a Source Water $199,911 Reservoir Management Strategy to Control Cyanobacteria Blooms The Ohio State University Bioretention and Permeable Pavement: Quantifying $174,036 Nutrient Reduction and Evaluating Material Specifications and Sources Ohio University Reduction of Nutrient Runoff from CAFO Waste $200,000 Land Application Utilizing a Modular Electrochemical Process: Experimental and Cost Studies U.S. Geological Survey Using Models to Estimate Microcystin Concentrations $200,000 in Ohio Recreational and Source Waters 10

13 OSU also received a $174,036 grant for the project titled Bioretention and Permeable Pavement: Quantifying Nutrient Reduction and Evaluating Material Specifications and Sources. This project will test specific design parameters and issues related to construction of permeable pavement and bioretention that have the potential to cause practice failure or reverse expected treatment functions. OSU will provide results to Ohio EPA to confirm existing approaches or to identify needed changes in design guidance. OSU will collaborate with the City of Sandusky on this project. Ohio University received a $200,000 grant for a project titled Reduction of Nutrient Runoff from CAFO Waste Land Application Utilizing a Modular Electrochemical Process: Experimental and Cost Studies. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the ability to utilize an electrochemical approach to recover nitrogen and phosphorus from confined animal feeding operations waste as a solid slow release fertilizer. The United States Geological Survey received a $200,000 grant for the project Using Models to Estimate Microcystin Concentrations in Ohio Recreational and Source Waters. This project received initial grant funds in The results of this project will help treatment plant operators and beach managers make informed decisions on the potential occurrence of harmful levels of cyanobacterial toxins in the water used by the public. OWDA Focuses on the Future During 2016, OWDA awarded $5,000,000 from the Un-sewered Area Assistance (USAA) Fund for eight projects that will provide sewers to small and disadvantaged communities in Ohio. Developed in 2013 to address the dramatic financial need of small un-sewered areas, the OWDA Board created the USAA program to provide additional financial assistance to communities undertaking the construction of new sewage treatment projects that had received funding from multiple agencies, yet are still unaffordable. To be eligible, communities must have documented failing individual septic systems, a Median Household Income (MHI) below the State s average MHI, and documentation of application for other grant funds. OWDA originally set aside $7,500,000 for these projects and then approved an additional $5,000,000 for funding in 2014 for projects that will provide sewers to the smallest and neediest communities. OWDA partners with the State of Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) to provide funding to promote local economic development, to remediate brownfields and to promote storm water best management practices with alternative methods. During 2016, the two agencies approved four brownfield loans totaling $4,331,286, three alternative storm water infrastructure loans totaling $4,085,446, and one local economic development loan for $10,595,567. The Ohio Water Development Authority will continue to meet the environmental needs of the state through its existing programs and will be ready to develop new programs to address Ohio s new and challenging environmental issues. 11
