<br />. <br /> <br />digested biosolids from the WPCF to the Biosolids Mariagement Facility (BMF); and <br />facultative sludge. storage lago.ons and drying beds at the.remote BMF. The majority of <br />the infrastructure. associated with this II General" subcomponent were constructed in the <br />1980s and early 1990s. <br /> <br />. Dewatering - MWMC-installed mechanical biosolids dewatering at the remote BMF for <br />the purpose of removing water from the biosolids so that the remaining biosolids <br />,volume is redu~ed.This'dewatering facility was designed to acco1l1:I1lodat~ 7,000 dry <br />tons of biosolids on an annual average basis. <br /> <br />. Biocycle Farm- MWMC is in the process of expanding the capability of the biosolids <br />'management program by constructing a poplar plantation or biocycle farm (BF) that can <br />accept non-dewater~d biosolids, therefore J.imiting dependence on the cooperative farms <br />land application program that typically uses dewatered biosolids. <br /> <br />Tertiary Filters ~Filters to remove 'TSSand to a lesser degree BOD/ammonia from the <br />secondary effl~ent. <br /> <br />Reuse Facilities - These facilities enable reuse of effluent and include UV disinfection; <br />pumping of filtered, disinfected effluent; pipelin~s to convey the \yater to. the end use site; <br />and irrigation distribution/ application systems. <br /> <br />Odor Co,ntrol- Facilities that collect and treat odorous air generated by the .trea~ent of <br />wastewater and biosolids. <br /> <br />Peak Flow Management - A new facility component that functions to convey, treat, and <br />discharge wet season peak flow (based on the 5-year, 24-hour rainfall event). Facilities must <br />be provided so that the peak flow can reach and pass through the WPCF without '. <br />overtopping structures so that untreated/.partially treated sewage does not spill onto the <br />groundand/or into waterways. . <br /> <br />Support Facilities (Indirects) - These facilities serve MWMC's overall mission as opposed <br />to one specific facility component. Examples include control systems, civil infrastructure <br />such as roads within the WPCF site, and equipment storage facilities. <br /> <br />A-21 <br />
