Original LTCP Prepared in 1998 LTCP Addendum Prepared in 2003 $48.8M for 20 Years Sewer Separation / CSO Elimination Consent Order Approved in March 2010 Early Action Separation Projects (2005-2010) Groups 1 6
Red = Closed Overflow (16) Black = Active Overflow (28)
Completed Sewer Separation Groups 1-6 185% Higher than Original LTCP Estimates First 6 Groups - $24.8M Actual / $13.4M Planned Private Property Clean Water Disconnection Costs 490% Higher than Original LTCP Estimates First 6 Groups - $3.8M Actual / $780k Planned Projected Cost Increased to $118M to Complete Sewer Separation Program Unaffordable
Coordinated with Ohio EPA to Evaluate Program Meetings with Ohio EPA and Attorney General s Office Reviewed feasibility of Original LTCP Evaluated CSO Control vs. Elimination Consent Order Modification Approved September, 2014 3 Year extension to prepare a new plan to control CSO s LTCP Update

System-Wide Hydraulic Model Calibrated Model with Flow Monitoring Data Developed the Typical Year Established Existing System Conditions Modeled Alternatives to Determine Size of New Infrastructure
Executive Committee Considerations: Minimize Disruption to Residents Provide Community Benefit from Project Convey As Much Flow As Possible to Treatment Plant Store Excess Flow at Plant Rather than in Collection System Aesthetic and Odor Concerns Alleviate Kingsbury PS Maximize Existing Infrastructure Cost Conscious Alternatives
4 Overflow Events During a Typical Year 0 Bypasses at the WWTP Significant Reductions in Early Stages Maximize Existing Infrastructure Maximize Flow to the WWTP Maximize WWTP Wet Weather Capacity Consolidate Storage at the WWTP Reduce Burden to 2.0% of MHI Develop a Feasible Implementation Schedule
3 Level Screening Approach Level 1 Level 2 Non-Monetary Factors Feasibility & Preliminary Cost Level 3 Cost & Performance
Feasible Alternative Categories Maximize existing infrastructure Inflow reduction Storage Pump station upgrades WWTP upgrades
LTCP Update Project Project Description Early Action Projects Projects Begin in 2015 Inflow Reduction Remove Direct Stormwater Connections CSO Regulator Modifications Collection System & Pump Station Projects WWTP Capacity Upgrade Storage Basin Remove Float-and-Gate Systems and Raise Weirs Pump Station Upgrades and In-Line Storage Step-Feed Modification for 10 MGD Wet Weather Capacity Two Phase Earthen Basin
Joint Community Benefit: Riverwalk/Bike Path Along River Inflow Reduction Areas Executive Committee Considerations: 1. Minimize Disruption (Forcemain on North vs. Second St.) 2. Community Benefit (Riverwalk/Bike Path and Riverbank stabilization) 3. Convey Flow to WWTP (Minimal In-Line Storage in System) 4. Store Flow at WWTP vs. System (Storage Basin at WWTP) 5. Alleviate Kingsbury PS (New Kingsbury PS Conveys Flows to North) 6. Maximize Existing Infrastructure (Express Sewers on South Side)
Upgrade to 10 MGD Wet Weather Capacity Convert to Step Feed in Aeration Tanks Mode of operation during wet weather conditions Modify existing tanks to create step feed zones Consistent operation during dry weather conditions Total Cost =$3.0M
