Project Name: Biocycle Farm Phase 2 <br />Description: An additional 13(~ acres - site preparation begins in 8/05; planting in 3/06. <br />Justification: Land already purchased and provides additiona~ area adjacent to BMF for <br /> application of liquid and dewatered biosolids, Expansion of the BF <br /> provides MWMC with more flexibility and control of overall biosolids <br /> management program. <br />Project Driver: ~ncreased solids production at the E/S WPCF and currently storing an <br /> excess inventory of biosolids in the lagoons. <br /> <br />Project Trigger: BF Phase I loading limits for liquid and dewatered biosolids are reached, <br /> Also, might accelerate if loss of cooperative farming land application sites. <br /> <br />Type of Project 100% Performance <br /> <br />Estimated Project Cost $300,000 <br />(2004 Dollars): <br /> <br />Phasing: Budgeted for FY2005/06 <br /> <br />Project Name: GBT Building Expansion (Waste Activated Sludge Thickening) <br /> <br />Description: Third gravity be~t thickener (GDT) w~th associated at grade building. <br /> Assumes additional basement floor space is not required. <br /> <br />Justification: Provides additional capacity for WAS thickening and potentially delays the <br /> construction of additional digesters. <br /> <br />Project Driver: Additional capacity to provide WAS thickening with one unit offline at <br /> WWMW upper limit flow project~ons, Nitrification required by the NPDES <br /> permit and increasing wastewater flows and loads generates more WAS <br /> solids. Provide ability to conduct recuperative thickening so that need for <br /> additional digestion volume can potentially be deferred. <br /> <br />Project Trigger: Exceeding solids and hydraulic load~ng rate design criteria, <br />Type of Project 100% Capacity <br /> <br />Estimated Project Cost $2,500,000 <br />(2004 Dollars): <br /> <br />Phasing: Budgeted for FY2005/06 <br /> <br /> <br />
