Biosolids Management FY 00-01 Capital Budget=$4.025 million Based on the Biosolids Management Strategy findings, projections, and recommendations, improvements must be made to increase the Biosolids processing capacity in the next three to five years to avert exceedance of facultative sludge lagoon capacity. These improvements will match Biosolids production with the plant's design capacity. CH2M Hill has estimated a phased five-year total project cost of approximately $12.5 million. i The first year was budgeted in FY 97-98 at $1.2 million and the second year in FY 98-99 at $8.3 million. This provided funding for design and construction of a Biosolids dewatering facility, an analysis of alternative technologies necessary to achieve Class A Biosolids status,. and preliminary work on a dedicated site acquisition study. Approximately $8,900,000 in budgeted funds was carried over into FY 99-00 for construction of the dewatering facility. The total estimated construction cost is expected to be $8.8 million. " In FY 99-00, $1.4 million was budgeted for costs associated with Biosolids management projects other than the dewatering facility, including initial evaluation studies already undertaken for the ~ land acquisition and Class A composting projects. At the-end.of FY 98-99, following the completion of a preliminary reconnaissance study, the Commission authorized staff to renew the purchase option agreement with Industrial Triangle Partners and prepare a detailed site evaluation study and management plan. In November 1999, the Commission again renewed the option for another six-month period.
