Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvements Program Waste Activated Sludge Thickening (Gravity Belt Thickener Building/Equipment Expansion) FY 05-06 Capital Budget = $2,657,000 Expected cash flow: * FY 05-06 $664,000; FY 06-07 $1,993,000. The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan includes a third gravity belt thickener, which requires expanding the existing building. This provides additional capacity for waste activated sludge thickening and should help delay construction of an additional digester. Design work is proposed for 2005 and construction is planned for 2006 to 2007. Biocycle Farm Phase 2 Improvements FY 05-06 Capital Budget = $319,000 Expected cash flow: * FY 05-06 $319,000. Phase 2 of Biocycle Farm involves soil preparation and planting of an additional 130 acres to increase biosolids removal biosolids from the existing lagoons. Consistent with the MWMC Biosolids Management Plan, this Biocycle Farm expansion provides MWMC with more flexibility and control of the overall biosolids management program. It also will enable MWMC to meet the revised DEQ-approved time line for draining and relining the facultative sludge lagoons. The soil preparation and planting work is planned for 2005 and 2006. Biocycle Farm Hose Reels FY 05-06 Capital Budget = $420,000 Expected cash flow: * FY 05-06 $420,000. Additional hose reels need to be purchased to increase liquid biosolids application to the MWMC Biocycle Farm. Anticipated pumping capacity reductions resulting from pump station modifications require the addition of six new hose reels rather than the four originally proposed. Federal grant funding, which is pending final approval, is anticipated to offset a significant portion of the hose reel costs. The hose reel equipment purchase is planned for 2005 to 2006. Biosolids Management Facility (BMF) - Lagoon Lining Phase 1 & Dredge Movement System Improvements FY 05-06 Capital Budget = $1,858,000 Expected cashflow: * FY05-06 $619,000; FY 06-07 $1,239,000. On-site field testing indicates that the BMF has lagoons that may be leaking. The lagoons have served their 20-year design life, and gradual deterioration is to be expected. MWMC has committed to DEQ to reline the four lagoons, which will require removal of the existing biosolids material. This project will include upgrades to the existing dredge movement system for safety and operational efficiency. Review Draft April 21, 2005 Page 32 FY 05-06 BUDGET AND CII~
