<br />? <br />The general subcomponent consists of biosolids thickening and anaerobic <br />General— <br /> <br />digestion at the WPCF; the biosolids pump station/force main system that conveys <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 />—MWMC-installed mechanical biosolids dewatering at the remote BMF for <br />Dewatering <br /> <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 />—MWMC is in the process of expanding the capability of the biosolids <br />Biocycle Farm <br /> <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 />—Filters to remove TSS and to a lesser degree BOD/ammonia from the <br />Tertiary Filters <br />secondary effluent. <br />—These facilities enable reuse of effluent and include UV disinfection; <br />Reuse Facilities <br />pumping of filtered, disinfected effluent; pipelines to convey the water to the end use site; <br />and irrigation distribution/application systems. <br />—Facilities that collect and treat odorous air generated by the treatment of <br />Odor Control <br />wastewater and biosolids. <br />—A new facility component that functions to convey, treat, and <br />Peak Flow Management <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 />—These facilities serve MWMC’s overall mission as opposed <br />Support Facilities (Indirects) <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 />Page 23 OF 39 <br /> A-23 <br /> <br />
