<br />. <br /> <br />digested biosolids from the WPCF to the Biosolids Management Facility (BMF); and <br />facultative sludge storage lagoons and drying beds at the remote BMF. The majority of <br />the infrastructure associated with this 1/ 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 reduced. This dewatering facility was designed to accommodate 7,000 dry <br />tons of biosolids on an annual average basis. <br /> <br />· Biocycle Fann - 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-dewatered biosolids, therefore limiting dependence on the cooperative farms <br />land application program that typically uses dewatered biosolids. <br /> <br />Tertiary Filters - Filters to removeTSS and to a lesser degree BOD I ammonia from the <br />secondary effluent. <br /> <br />Reuse Facilities - These facilities enable reuse of effluent and include UV disinfection; <br />pumping of filtered, disinfected effluent; pipelines to convey the water to the end use site; <br />and irrigation distributionl application systems. <br /> <br />Odor Control- Facilities that collect and treat odorous air generated by the treatment 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 />ground and/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 />
