Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvements Program <br /> I, <br /> j,' <br /> Waste Activated Sludge Thickening (Gravity Belt Thickener Building/Equipment <br /> Expansion) <br /> FY OS-06 Capital Budget = $2,657,000 <br /> Expected cash flow: * FY OS-06 $664,000; FY 06-07 $1,993,000. <br /> The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan includes a third gravity belt thickener, which requires expanding <br /> i the existing building. This provides additional capacity for waste activated sludge thickening and <br /> should help delay construction of an additional digester. <br /> Design work is proposed for 2005 and construction is planned for 2006 to 2007. <br /> I <br /> ~ ' Biocycle Farm Phase 2 Improvements <br /> ~ FY 05-06 Capital Budget =$319,000 <br /> I <br /> Expected cash flow: * FY OS-06 $319,000. <br /> , <br /> ~ Phase 2 of Biocycle Farm involves soil preparation and planting of an additional 130 acres to <br /> increase biosolids removal biosolids from the existing lagoons. Consistent with the MWMC <br /> Biosolids Management Plan, this Biocycle Farm expansion provides MWMC with more flexibility <br /> and control of the overall biosolids management program. It also will enable MWMC to meet the <br /> revised DEQ-approved time line for draining and relining the facultative sludge lagoons. <br /> The soil preparation and planting work is planned for 2005 and 2006. <br /> i Biocycle Farm Hose Reels <br /> FY 05-06 Capital Budget = $420,000 <br /> Expected cash flow: * FY OS-O6 $420,000. <br /> Additional hose reels need to be purchased to increase liquid biosolids application to the MWMC <br /> Biocycle Farm. Anticipated pumping capacity reductions resulting from pump station <br /> i., <br /> modifications require the addition of six new hose reels rather than the four originally proposed. <br /> Federal grant funding, which is pending final approval, is anticipated to offset a significant portion <br /> ! of the hose reel costs. <br /> The hose reel equipment purchase is planned for 2005 to 2006. <br /> i_ <br /> <br /> i ~ ' Biosolids Management Facility (BMF) -Lagoon Lining Phase 1 & Dredge Movement System <br /> - Improvements <br /> FY:05-06 Capital Budget= $1,858,000 <br /> Expected cash flow: * FY OS-06 $619,000; FY 06-07 $1,239,000. <br /> ' Ori-site field testing indicates that the BMF has lagoons that maybe leaking. The lagoons have <br /> served their 20-year design life, and gradual deterioration is to be expected. MWMC has <br /> committed-to DEQ to reline. the four lagoons; which will require removal of the existing biosolids <br /> material. This project will include upgrades to the existing dredge rovement system for safety <br /> .:and... operational efficiency. <br /> Page 32 FY OS-06 BUDGET AND CIP <br /> _ _ _ _ <br /> <br />
