4 Regional Optimization Master Plan Goals Current and future regulatory compliance Meet capacity needs to 2030 Upgrade / rehabilitate aging infrastructure State-of-the-art technology Staff-friendly Automation Community acceptance N 2 O 2 N 2 O Fermentation First Nitrification Anoxic Recycle Sludge 5-stage Bardenpho process (Source: EIMCO Water Technologies) Second Anoxic Re-aeration Clarifier Waste Sludge 4

5 Regional Optimization Master Plan Scope of Work Develop the optimal treatment process and plan to comply with regulatory requirements to reduce total t nitrogen concentrations in discharged effluent Master plan foreseeable future regulatory requirements Determine the long-term capacity needs of the County metropolitan facilities, conveyance system and outlying growth areas Ina Road WPCF Headworks 5

6 Regional Optimization Master Plan Scope of Services Develop long-term plan for the treatment, t t handling and reuse of system bio-solids and bio-gas Develop a detailed implementation schedule to meet regulatory implementation deadlines and the optimization master plan Develop a financial plan to support the system s regulatory and other needs for the next fifteen years 6

7 Regulatory Implementation Requirements to Reduce Total Nitrogen Concentrations Complete initial engineering study Recommendation for upgrading treatment plants Submit recommended plan letter to ADEQ Award contract for construction ti Treatment of effluent to non-toxic nitrogen levels Ina Road WPCF Roger Road WWTP February 1, 2007 January 30, 2007 December 31, 2010 January 30, 2011 January 30, 2014 January 30,

8 ROMP Plan Expand Ina Road WPCF to 50 mgd Construct new 32 mgd Water Reclamation Campus (in vicinity of existing Roger Road WWTP) Plant Interconnect 28 mgd average, 72 mgd peak flow Decommission existing 41 mgd Roger Road WWTP Ina Road WPCF Roger Road WWTP 8

9 ROMP Cost Estimate (2006 dollars) Ina Road WPCF Upgrade/Expansion $243,900,000 Electrical Upgrades $35,000,000 Plant Interconnect $22,300,000 Water Reclamation Campus $211,000,000 Roger Road WWTP Demolition $23,800, Total Estimated Cost $536,000,000 * * Cost estimate includes design costs, UV disinfection and 5% contingency. 9

10 Ina Road WPCF Expand treatment capacity to 50 mgd Convert existing process to Bardenpho process Additional 12.5 mgd expansion Most cost-effective utilization of existing headworks capacity of 50 mgd Centralized biosolids processing and handling Reduces overall cost Provides for co-generation bio-gas utilization at one location Provides one point of distribution of final product 10
