Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP)

• 30 year plan to address:

– Aging Infrastructure

– Fast Paced Growth

– Increasingly Stringent Regulations

• Holistic infrastructure improvements to:

– Potable Water

– Wastewater

– Storm Water

– Reclaimed Water

5

2015 NC AWWA WEA Spring Conference

Goals Defined New Solids Treatment Process

• One of the primary nine goals of the IWRP was a long-term, sustainable biosolids process. To better define the best solution, the following goals were defined by the Steering Committee & Staff:

6Picture: http://mtsgreenway.org/blog/lets-talk-biosolids

– Reduce risk

– Improve operational efficiency

– Earn environmental/public acceptance

– Control odors

– Produce Class A biosolids

Being a Good Neighbor

• Adjacent to:

– High School

– Sport Fields

– Public Park

– Residential Neighborhood

• Sensitive to:

– Odor

– Noise

– Truck Traffic

Preliminary Design of Biosolids System

• Anticipated Solids Loadings, Phases of Construction

– Phase 1 – 20 MGD through 2025

• 18 dry tons of WAS per day1

• 1,200 dry lb of FOG per day1

– Phase 2 – 32 MGD through 2040

• 30 dry tons of WAS per day1

• 1,800 dry lb of FOG per day1

• Preliminary Engineering Analysis

– Four solids process train alternatives

– Concept-level facility sizing, economic analyses

– Non-cost evaluation

– Scoring of alternatives based on cost & non-cost factors
