SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY <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 "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 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-dewatered biosolids, therefore limiting dependence on the cooperative farms <br /> land application program that typically uses dewatered biosolids. <br /> <br />Tertiary Filters- Filters to remove TSS and to a lesser degree BOD/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 distribution/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 /> SEA31003271388(DG).DOC/041040034 <br /> <br /> <br />
