Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program <br />THERMAL LOAD MITIGATION: PRE-IMPLEMENTATION <br />Description: <br />This project involves planning studies for thermal load mitigation measures including <br />recycled water use and riparian shading projects. The project includes associated <br />regulatory strategy development related to the temperature total maximum daily loads <br />(TMDL), the temperature standard implementation, and NPDES permit renewal <br />conditions. <br />Status: <br />80% complete –the first two of three study phases are complete and Phase 3 study is <br />finishing up in FY 18-19. Phase 3 further develops the Phase 2 recommendations to <br />implement a riparian shade credit program, recycled water demonstration projects, and <br />increased recycled water use and storage at the MWMC’s BMF/BRS. Phase 3 also re- <br />assesses the likely thermal load limit in the MWMC’s upcoming NPDES permit and <br />evaluates multiple long-term compliance strategies. <br />Justification: <br /> A thermal load compliance strategy is needed for the future NPDES permit. The <br />compliance strategy should balance cost-effectiveness, environmental outcomes, and <br />community benefits to meet the MWMC’s overall goals. Further refinement of the <br />strategies identified through the Phase 1 and Phase 2 study efforts ensures ongoing <br />commitment to those goals. <br />Project Driver: <br />Long-term need for NPDES permit thermal load compliance strategies related to future <br />temperature standard requirements <br />Project Trigger: <br /> NPDES permit renewal readiness. <br />Project Type: <br />100% Performance <br />Improvement <br />SDC Eligibility: <br />26.1% <br />Estimated Project Cost: <br />$818,118 <br />Estimated Cash Flow: <br />FY 13-14 = $ 295,995; FY 14-15 = $48,908; FY 15-16 = $34,165; FY 16-17 = $116,314; <br />FY-17-18 = $122,736; FY 18-19 = $190,000; FY 19-20 = $10,000 <br />Prior2017-18 <br /> Expenditure/Cateor:YearsEst.
