1 Brandywine Hundred Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project 12 th Year Status and Accomplishment Summary March 2012

2 Ahhh!! The Good Ole Days Foulk & Silverside Roads (Low Population / Low Flows)

3 And Now Foulk & Silverside, Foulk & Grubb (Higher Population / Higher Flows)

4 The Area Population Skyrocketed Development Was Great Growth from Wilmington to the Suburbs Sanitary Sewer Systems were Added-On and Piggy Backed right up to the Pennsylvania line Initially built by developers with direct discharges to the River or through small WWTP s to the streams First Interceptors built in 40 s s and 50 s s to begin regionalization of system and improve treatment Current interceptor system built in 50 s, 60 s, and 70 s s with federal funds and all sewage going to Wilmington WWTP Designed to accepted national standards of the time with relief structures throughout interceptor system

5 Remember the Days (1999) Years of Deferred Maintenance Took its Toll

6 Remember the Days (1999) z z z Broken and collapsing pipes, laterals, and manholes Chronic root intrusion/blockages Leaking pipe joints and manholes

7 The Rehabilitation Project Begins Development of a Program Deficiencies in the system became more frequent and noticeable Accelerated Customer Complaints were logged The Dreaded 308 Letter arrived - EPA s s precursor to a consent decree (National and Regional tightening of screws on local system operators) Other operators around the country had $1 Billion plus and $900 million plus EPA consent decrees Although NCCo held our system together as best it could within the allowable budget constraints We proactively enacted steps to develop a program to analyze and improve our conveyance system This was a joint effort between the Administration and Council. Our program was sound and defensible The Program was funded and we started

8 The Program Detailed inventory of the entire system (Investigation) Determination of system age (Investigation) Analysis of existing operations (Investigation) Detailed reconnaissance of how system functioned (Investigation) Flow Monitoring (Investigation) Logical formulation of potential remedies and their anticipated effectiveness (Analysis) * Prioritization of projects The Plan Design and implementation of projects The Plan Effectiveness modeling The Plan Implementation of Asset Management The Plan

9 Forensic Investigation Flow Monitoring Diurnal - Night & Day Readings Night Time Base Readings Storm Events Smoke Testing CCTV Investigation Visual Inspections Interviews with long time staff

10 Forensic Investigation Attributes Identifies Specific Issues Allows for a Developed Master Plan Used for Specific Program Development Ranks Issues for Prioritization Provides Sequence of Activities Saves Money with Logical Plan Implementation Provides Basis for Biggest Bang for Buck

15 NOW Back to the Presentation

16 Investigation & analysis led to The Plan Our plan was devised to strategically perform projects which would provide for the greatest results with the most efficient use of resources. Which means big reduction of I&I at the lowest cost.

17 The Plan was the most cost effective and greatest impact solution! We Did Not Subscribe to the PARTS REPLACEMENT THEORY!!! (Which is arbitrary and without skill)

31 So What Does This Mean? What did we accomplish? We have developed a CMOM program We have instituted an aggressive Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG) program We have instituted an aggressive Root Control Program We have instituted a Trunkline Preventative Maintenance Program We have instituted a CCTV Investigations Program We Re-constructed a bigger and better Stoney Creek Pumpstation We developed a Dynamic Hydraulic Model We have achieved 50-80% I&I reduction when we originally debated 0%-35% We have reduced basement back-ups by 40-50% We have reduced SSOs by 40-50% We eliminated flows at ND-7 We have significantly reduced flows at ND-34 and feel we are on the cusp of a zero flow breakthrough (7 years early) We have eliminated our routine resident calls from the Community of Brandywood Upon completion of a current construction project, we will eliminate our contacts with Tarleton which will hamper our social life. (Staff will no longer be invited to family functions like weddings)

32 Abandoned June 2006 ND 7 Flows

33 ND 34 Flows Weir raised an additional 2 ½ Additional monitoring to take place during spring rains

34 We had this Cracked & Broken Pipe Hydrogen Sulfide Corrosion Loss of Concrete & Exposed Rebar

35 And This Leaking Pipe Joint Collapsed Pipe

36 And Now we Have This

37 CLEANOUT INSTALLATION METHODS And you wondered why the residents complained Traditional Open-Cut Vac-A-Tee

38 VAC-A-TEE Minimal Intrusion

39 Capacity and system operation has improved so that we no longer have to hope for the best during a New Stoney wet weather event Stoney Creek Pump Station increased from 19 mgd to 45 mgd with wet weather capacity to 57 mgd -And- Our old method of sewer capacity analysis and calculation has improved from this
