Executiive Summ mary The Municipality of Meaford retain ned Ainley Group to prepaare a Water aand Wastewaater Master P Plan in accordancce with the M Municipality’s Official Plan and the Classs EA procedu ure. The Master Plan addrresses the state of the existin ng infrastructture and iden ntifies existingg and future needs. The p preferred solu utions are identiified as modu ular designs tto allow construction to m mimic future ggrowth over the next 30 yyears. Phases 1 and 2 of the Class EA process for Mastter Plans werre followed to o develop thee Servicing M Master Meaford. Plan for M The studyy area is deffined as the current limitts of the Meeaford urban n settlement area. The area is th bounded by Centreville e Road to the e north, 7 lin ne to the wesst, Muir Road to the south h and Georgiaan Bay s area h as been zoned as resideential, commeercial, to the eaast. Existing vacant land within the study industrial or institution nal. The zonin ng allows for a better undderstanding of potential grrowth to guid de the d wastewaterr projects. The existing waater distributiion system in nfrastructure consists of a WTP, water and two (2) BPSs, waterr distribution n system and water sttorage. The existing waastewater syystem infrastruccture consists of a WWTP, five (5) SPSs aand a sewagee collection syystem.

Existin ng Conditiions The Muniicipality of M Meaford is alo ong the shore eline of Georggian Bay and is located in n the Grey Co ounty. The socio o‐economic environment is influenced by the waterrfront locatio on, however o other industrries in the Municipality are the aggregaate and agriicultural induustries. In aaddition to tthe Georgian n Bay s, the Bighea d River and t the Niagara E Escarpment a are significant t natural feat tures. The Big ghead shorelines River is an n extensive 3 30 km system m known for b being home tto a variety o of fish. The Niagara Escarp pment falls outside of the study area and ttherefore doe es not affect tthe master planning proceess.

Preferrred Solution A preferre ed solution w was selected for each partt of the systeem based on the evaluatio on criteria raanking and public consultation. Dependingg on the situaation, the preeferred soluttion may invo olve a combin nation of the alte ernative soluttions to best solve the identified probleem. Water Distribution – The preferred solution was to combinne the two (22) alternativees and rehabilitate ual needs. Floow testing w will be compleeted to allow w for a and replace watermains based on their individu replacement plan to b be developed identifying th he need of eaach watermaain section an nd the timing of its repair/rep placement. A Additional new w watermains have been identified fo or constructio on to allow fo or the new deve elopment to b be serviced byy the distributtion networkk. Water Sto orage – The preferred solution is a 2,000 m3 in‐gr ound reservo oir on St. Vin ncent Street aat the south end d of the wate er distribution n system. The e tank will offfer floating sttorage to thee St. Vincent SStreet Booster ZZone with low wer operation n and mainten nance costs tthan an elevaated storage ttank. A watermain approximately 1400 m long will need to be e constructedd to connecct the reservvoir to the w water distributio on system. Water Tre eatment Plan nt – To allow for more con nsistent wateer pressure in n the water distribution syystem, VDFs will replace the e existing pump ps at the WTP. No additioonal plant exp pansion is necessary as th here is surplus caapacity. Wastewater Collection – The prefferred solutio on is to combbine both alternatives to allow relining and replacement dependin ng on the sew wermains ne eed. Pipe reli ning should be preferred where the u useful uld be service liffe can be incrreased by at least 40 yearss. Other pipee sections that are more damaged shou replaced tto increase th he lifespan an nd reduce I/I.

1.0 Background Information 1.1 Terms of Reference and Authorization The Terms of Reference as outlined in the Request for Proposal issued by the Corporation of the Municipality of Meaford on April 3, 2014 is attached in Appendix A.
1.2 Purpose of Master Plan The Municipality of Meaford retained Ainley Group to prepare a Water and Wastewater Master Plan for the Urban Settlement Area in accordance with the Municipality’s Official Plan. The purpose of the Master Plan is to identify and assess the needs of the water and wastewater systems to effectively service the existing population, any presently un‐serviced parcels within the service area and future development areas. The report addresses the state of the current water and wastewater infrastructure, the future projected growth throughout the Urban Settlement Area, and identifies the preferred solution to accommodate full build‐out. A phasing plan is to be identified for each infrastructure project, allowing construction for water and wastewater infrastructure to meet future growth. The phased construction time frame is guided by development over the next 30 years, up to and including 2045. A Class EA process for Master Plans was followed to develop the Servicing Master Plan for Meaford. During the master planning process, Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process were addressed. The intent of this study was to satisfy the Class EA requirements for the Schedule A, A+, and select Schedule B projects identified within the Master Plan, as well as provide the basis for future Schedule C projects. Analysis of all water and wastewater components was completed to understand where upgrades are necessary to address all servicing needs. Details of the preferred infrastructure projects, identified in the Servicing Master Plan, will be completed in succeeding reports. Volume 1 of the Water and Wastewater Servicing Report identifies the Master Plan. The Master Plan outlines the master planning process, existing conditions, future conditions, problem identification and identifies the alternatives and preferred solution. Volume 2 of the Water and Wastewater Servicing Report identifies the Technical Memoranda that were developed throughout the planning process. This project was undertaken based on technical memoranda that were presented at committee meetings. Each of the memoranda identifies the modelling and analysis that was undertaken during the master planning process to obtain the information identified in the Master Plan.
1.3 Study Area The Study Area is described as the current limits of the Urban Settlement Area shown in Figure 1.

Table 1 outlines the total available land left in urban Meaford that can still be developed. The vacant land has been divided into land use based on the land use designations defined in Meaford Official Plan. The number of equivalent units was calculated based on the vacant area of each type of land use. The full build‐out sewage flows and water demands were than able to be calculated with total values of 2,799.5 m3/d and 4,479.2 m3/d respectively.
1.4 Existing Water System The existing water distribution system infrastructure consists of a WTP, two (2) BPSs, water distribution system and water storage at the WTP and in an elevated tank. The Meaford WTP has a rated capacity of 26,848 m3/day which is more than adequate for the current water usage having an ADD over the past 3 years of only 1,460 m3/day. The MDD over the past three (3) years was 2,374 m3/day which is 8.8% of the rated capacity of the WTP and is 18.4% of the design capacity of a single highlift pump (12,890 m3/day ) at the WTP. There is more than adequate capacity to provide the current MDD supply and for substantial growth. The WTP recently underwent control system upgrades in 2013 and the plant is in good condition and is in full compliance with regulations. The system has two (2) BPS; the St. Vincent Street BPS and the Nelson Street BPS. The St. Vincent Street BPS was constructed in 2010 and remains in good condition. The Nelson Street BPS currently does not provide adequate pressure under all demand conditions and does not comply with MOECC design guidelines. The water distribution system is in good to fair condition. As expected with any ageing network, older pipes need to be replaced to maintain the integrity of the system. The pipe diameters are generally Municipality of Meaford Water & Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

April 2015 Ainley Group, File No. 114106
adequate for the current service population, however, there is inadequate fire protection in several areas due to undersized pipes. The total storage within the system is 2,880 m3 and the required storage based on MOECC design guidelines is 2,166 m3. This allows for adequate storage for existing demands and required fire flow. The storage is split between clearwell storage at the WTP of 2310 m3 and the elevated storage tank with a capacity of 570 m3.
1.5 Existing Wastewater System The existing wastewater system infrastructure consists of a WWTP, five (5) SPSs and a sewage collection system. The Meaford WWTP has an ADF over the past three (3) years of 2,600 m3/day which is below the plant’s rated capacity of 3,910 m3/day. The hydraulic reserve capacity is equivalent to an additional 1,210 residential units as per 2013. The average biological oxygen demand and total suspended solid effluent concentrations represent fairly weak sewage strength, likely due to high stormwater/groundwater I/I rates. The plant discharges into Georgian Bay and meets the current effluent limits. The plant was constructed in 1969 and several components have yet to be updated but require extensive updates. The plant also requires the addition of several processes and an ongoing program for major maintenance due to the age of the equipment and systems. A Class EA for plant expansion in 2007 established new effluent criteria for the plant. Upgrades may be required to meet more stringent nutrient removal requirements. The sewage collection network is aging and experiencing high levels of I/I resulting in increased network flows. Sewer upgrades have been identified through an I/I study that has been completed in conjunction with the Master Plan. The collection system has five (5) SPSs. All of the SPSs are in good physical condition, but SPSs No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 could benefit from control system upgrades.
2.0 Summary of Master Planning Process 2.1 Background The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) approved under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act in October 2000, as amended in 2007, identifies the process by which municipal infrastructure projects are to be planned. The process identifies an approved procedure designed to protect the environment and provides an effective way of complying with the Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA applies to infrastructure projects including municipal road, municipal transit, and municipal water and wastewater projects. The process classifies projects with varying environmental impact in terms of schedules:
Municipality of Meaford Water & Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

Schedule A projects have minimal adverse environmental impact and are limited in scale. These projects include normal or emergency operational and maintenance activities. They are pre‐approved and may proceed without formal contact with the public. Schedule A+ projects are pre‐approved, however, require public notification prior to project implementation. Schedule B projects have the potential for some adverse environmental effects including improvement projects and minor expansions to existing facilities. A screening process is required involving mandatory contact with directly affected public and relevant review agencies. Schedule C projects have potential for significant environmental effects including the construction of new facilities and major expansions to existing facilities. Due to the adverse environmental impact, Schedule C projects must proceed under the full Class EA planning and documentation procedure and require that an Environmental Study Report be completed. The planning process follows a five (5) step planning process.
Phase 1 – Problem or Opportunity Definition Phase 2 – Identification and Evaluation of Alternative Solutions to Allow a Preferred Solution to be Recommended Phase 3 ‐ Evaluation of Alternative Design Concepts for the Implementation of the Preferred Solution Phase 4 – Documentation of the Rationale, Planning, Design and Consultation Process Phase 5 – Implementation and Monitoring.
The Class EA Planning and Design Process Flow Chart (Figure 2) provides more detail on each phase of the planning process. The process identifies that due to varying project‐specific problems, environmental issues, community issues and solutions, a varying level of project complexity is required. To accommodate this, the Class EA defines the minimum requirements for environmental assessment planning allowing the process to be customizable. A key feature to the Class EA process is early and continuous mandatory consultation with the public and those who may be affected by the undertaking. The consultation allows for the public to be informed about the project and allowed to provide input that will be integrated into the study and decision‐making process.
2.2 Master Planning Procedure The master planning process allows for a group of related projects or an overall system to be considered prior to dealing with each individual project specific issue. Master plans are long range plans that integrate existing and future infrastructure needs with environmental assessment planning principles. The master planning procedure follows the Class EA planning process where at a minimum Phases 1 and 2 must be addressed. Four (4) master planning approaches are outlined in the Class EA, however, it is suggested to adapt the approaches based on the project specific needs.

The Municipality of Meaford has prepared this Master Plan in accordance with the Class EA based generally on Approach #2. Approach #2 involves the preparation of a Master Planning document at the conclusion of Phase 1 and 2 which is sufficient to fulfill the requirements of Schedule B projects. The Municipality of Meaford has identified select Schedule B projects in the Master Plan that will require additional studies in order to provide greater detail on the geotechnical and natural environment of the project site. All Schedule C projects that are identified in the Master Plan will require the completion of Phases 3 and 4.

Thiss correspondss to a growth h allocation of 33% in the urb ban area and d 67% in the rural area. The T Growth M Managementt Strategy Report suggestss that Municipalities should adopt policie es that will encourage groowth within tthe urban areea and discourage n the rural arrea. The Mun nicipality of Meaford M wass assigned a target to ach hieve 60% off total growth in growth within the urbaan area. The Officiial Plan for the Municipallity of Meafo ord consolida ted on May 14th 2014 haas adopted seeveral policies to o encourage infilling and intensification n of the urba n area and discourage furrther develop pment of the su urrounding ru ural area. Th he Official Plaan projects aa total increease of 1,100 0 new houseeholds between 2006 and 202 26 for a popu ulation increase of 1,900. IIt is the goal o of the Municipality to havve 990 o the additio onal dwellinggs within the urban area.. For the gro owth within the urban arrea, a or 90% of minimum target of 10% % or 99 home es are to be e established thhrough intenssification. Census data, retrieve ed from Stattistics Canada’s website on July 30thh, 2014, stattes that the total populatio on in 2006 for the urban area a was 4,6 686 and increeased to 4,9992 by 2011, aan increase o of 306 residents.. The populaation of the Municipality increased fr om 10,948 in 2006 to 11,100 in 201 11, an increase of o 152 reside ents.

The wate er use is expected to increase proporrtionately wiith the popu ulation of thee urban areaa. The MOECC Design D Guidelines suggest that water systems s shouuld be based on 450 L/cap/day on thee high range. Based on data ffrom other Municipalities iin Ontario, thhe average waater use is ab bout 350L/cap p/day. c flow rrate in the M Municipality o of Meaford is 287 The averaage of the past three (3)) years per capita 3 L/cap/dayy.

Two (2) puumps are run by a fixed sp peed drive and two (2) pumps are run by a variable sp peed drive. The T station is rated with aa total firm ccapacity of 18 81 L/s m. Peak hour flows to the station have been modeled for ultimaate build‐out to be against a TDH of 51 m 157 L/s, th herefore the SPS is sufficie ent to supporrt growth withhout any incrrease in capaccity. The statio on is in good overall condition and has experiennced very few operational issues. On ne (1) overflow incident occu urred at the sstation in 199 92 as the ressult of an opeerator error. The flow meeter at the station does not prrovide accuraate measurem ment and nee ds to be replaaced.
5.7.2 5 Sewa age Pumpiing Station n No. 2 The pump ps at SPS No.. 2 are rated at 148 L/s att a TDH of 188.8 m. Peak hour flows to the station n have been mod deled for ultimate build‐o out to be 46 LL/s, thereforee the station is sufficient tto support grrowth without any increase in n capacity. The SPS iss in good ove erall condition n however it suffers from excessive ragg collection, ccausing the p pumps to become clogged. W When this occu urs the pump p is unable to function and d requires maanual assistan nce to e problem.

Ultimate populatio on is defined aas the full build‐out populaation for the existing comm munity bound daries. The Classs EA of the existing WWTTP was completed in 20077 and outlineed the expan nsion needs o of the plant on tthe basis of an expansion in the urban area to servicce a total pop pulation of 11,500 residen nts. It was assum med within the 2007 Classs EA that the e population in the urban n area of Meaaford would reach 11,500 byy 2027. This rrate of growth h is no longer expected too occur as hisstorical trends have shown n that average ggrowth rates are typically around 0.5% %/year in the urban area. Based on thee historical grrowth rate, the u urban area off Meaford willl not reach a population oof 11,500 with hin the next tthirty (30) yeaars. While the e rate of grow wth in the urban area is not expected too occur at succh a rapid pacce, the suggesstions for upgrad des and expansion to the existing plantt remain validd and are carried forward in the alternatives discussed in this Maste er Study.

5.8.2 5 Chan nges since 2007 Classs EA Since the 2007 Class EA A, there have e been change es to the projjected populaation growth rate as well aas the ultimate fflow at the W WWTP. This se ection will outtline the revissed populatio on and flow p projections an nd the reasoningg behind the p proposed chaanges. In 2007 itt was projected that the p population in the urban a rea of Meafo ord would reaach approxim mately 13,000 byy 2031. The historical h gro owth in the area does nott match the projection off the Class EA A and therefore the population projection n was revised. For the purpposes of this study it was eestimated thaat the on in the urb ban area wo ould reach approximately a y 5,520 by 22031. This revised population populatio estimation is based on a historical average gro owth rate of 0.5%/year w within the urban area. Further, of the total aarea of vacan nt and underddeveloped lan based on an analysis o nd and the ccurrent zoningg, the ultimate ((full build‐outt) population in the urban area is 12,0000. The 2007 Class EA provided a proje ection of ADFF and Peak Floow for 2031 o of 6,000 m3/d d and 20,000 0 m3/d respective ely. The flow w projection is based on the t 2031 poppulation. Flow w projectionss have been since recalculatted based on the ultimate e population o of the urban area and thee existing zon ning to an ultimate populatio on of 12,000. At the ultim mate build‐out of the urbaan area it is projected th hat the ADF aat the 3 3 WWTP will w be 5,950 m /d with a peak flow of o 17,650 m /d. At the ccurrent growtth rate this iis not expected to occur untiil 2180.
5.8.3 5 Existting WWTP P Issues The Meafford WWTP has a rated capacity of 3,91 10 m3/d, withh a peak flow capacity of 11,730 m3/d, aas per the current C of A. A review of th he plant capaacity by the Ainley Group p in 2006 determined thaat the e hydraulic bo ottleneck, witth the surfacee settling ratee limiting thee peak existing clarifiers are aa considerable 3 flow to 6,874 m /d. eted in 20066, was condu ucted by Hyd dromantis Incc. The A review of the capacity analysis,, also comple review co oncluded thatt the existingg aeration baasins are an aadditional bo ottleneck on the basis thaat the plant doe es not have the capacity for nitrificattion. The plaant was originally designed as a high h rate activated sludge proce ess, which is n no longer a tyypical configuuration and does not confo orm to the cu urrent e a convventional activvated sludge or EAAS plants. The repo ort states thaat the design staandards for either WWTP sh hould be designed to operrate at a SRTT much greateer than 10 daays at a MLSSS concentratiion of Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

less than 3500 mg/l. M MOECC guidelines for EAAS plants statee that the aeration step should have an SRT delines the pllant is of fifteen (15) days and a HRT of att least fifteen (15) hours. Based on thee MOECC guid most heavily constrain ned by the fiffteen (15) ho our HRT whicch would limit the ADF to 1,650 m3/d when d to the SRT constraint which w would limit l the plannt to an ADF of 2,566 m3/d. As it currently compared stands it is recommend ded that the MLSS be keptt at 3500 mg//L. The Hydro omantis revie ew identified an additionaal constrainin g factor with h respect to the clarifiers aat the Meaford WWTP. The existing clariffiers are mucch shallower than recomm mended by th he current M MOECC uidelines. Hyd dromantis ide entified that since the claarifiers are sh hallow there is a much grreater design gu potential for solids to over flow th he weirs at peak flows pa rticularly as tthe sludge blanket thickeens. In p solid ds from leavin ng the sedimentation bassin it is recom mmended thaat the RAS raate be order to prevent kept at 10 00%. Based on the MOECC C design guide elines before 2008, at an A ADF of 2600 m m3/d, a RAS rate of 100% with an MLSS of o 3500 mg/L the existing clarifiers weere limited to o a peak flow w of 5,316 m3/d to p solids lo oading rate of o 120 kg/m2∙d. Since 20008, MOECC has increaseed the peak solids meet a peak loading raate to 170 kg//m2∙d which increases the peak flow to 8,656 m3/d. The existing screens arre not ideallyy located at th he plant. In oorder to incorrporate new process train ns into the plant,, the headworks will need to be set bacck from the aeeration tank aarea in orderr to allow space for flow splittting after scre eening. The e existing scree en is also unddersized to meet the peak flows at the plant 3 with a peaak capacity off 9,842 m /d. The existing disinfectio on consists off two (2) chan nnels, one (1 ) equipped w with UV lamp modules rateed for ow of 5,720 m m3/d and a second channel equipped w with weir and isolation chaannel for future UV a peak flo lamp mod dules, with a UV bypass an nd isolation valve. The ex isting disinfecction is undersized to meeet the existing peak flows. ecommended d that the plant be deratted to an AD DF of 2,700 m3/d with a peak Overall it has been re 3 capacity o of 8,100 m /d d.
5.8.4 5 Chan nges to the e Class EA Recomme endations While the e majority of recommendaations from the 2007 Classs EA remain valid, there aare changes tto the Class EA that are recom mmended bassed on the re esults of this m master plan sstudy. The Class EA recomme ended that the plant be up pgraded to m meet the ADF of 6,000 m3/d d and 20,000 0 m3/d o single upggrade. Based d on the projected rate off growth and d the resultin ng increase in n flow peak in one over the next twenty (20) years, a full upgrade of the plant in order to sservice the ulltimate population should no ot be required d in the near tterm. As discusssed in the 20 007 EA, the effluent limit ffor phosphorrus is expecteed to changee as a result o of any upgrades to the plantt. However, a a new limit requiring r terttiary filtration n is not expeected. A survvey of o Georgian Baay close to Meaford suggeests that a pho osphorus limit of 1 mg/L w would plants discharging into ed. An effluent concentration of 1 mg//L phosphoruus could be aachieved by aa single‐point alum be impose injection. The changed d phosphoru us limit will in ncrease the volume of slludge producced.

6.1 Do Noth hing The Mastter Servicing Study must effectively de eal with all aaspects of th he problem sstatement. Th he Do Nothing alternative a does not provvide any add ditional capaccity for Meaford’s Waterr and Wastew water systems aand therefore e does not me eet the requirements of t he Official Plan. Due to tthe age of most of the existiing compone ents, and ch hanging Provincial Regulaations, the M Municipality will inevitab bly be required to upgrade most water and wastewaater systems in order to remain in ccompliance and to nd safety of tthe citizens o of Meaford. TThe Do Nothing Alternativve in these caases is maintain the health an therefore considered n not viable and d was screene ed out of the detailed com mparative asseessment.
6.2 Limit/M Manage Grrowth Not all of the problem ms identified w with the wate er and wastew water infrastructure in Meeaford are a result of growth h, and so limiting growth w would not ad ddress all of tthe problemss. In addition,, placing a lim mit on growth do oes not align with the Mu unicipality of Meaford appproved Officiaal Plan and b because of this the Limit/Man nage Growth Alternative w was screened out of the deetailed comparative assessment.
7.0 Water Di W istribution Alterrnatives As noted in Phase 1 of o the projecct and confirrmed throughh modeling, tthe existing water distrib bution system in Meaford req quires improvvement to corrrect deficien cies, includinng: being undeersized for exxisting demand sscenarios; beiing partially p plugged due tto corrosion pproducts; and d due to age. While this seection addressess alternativess for watermaain renewal, tthere is no g lobal “preferrred alternative” for this aaspect of the pro oject. The prreferred alterrnative for eaach section oof watermain n will depend d on the partticular circumstaances in that street and waatermain con ndition. The inntent of this section is to identify guidelines for determining the preferred p solution on eacch section off watermain. Various w watermain ren newal options arre available. The renewal options evalu uated during Phase 2 of th he master plaanning processs are: 1. Watermain Re W ehabilitation (Relining) 2. Watermain Re W eplacement The main reasons that deteriorated d watermains should be reenewed are lissted below:

Relining is the most common c wattermain rehaabilitation opption available for metal pipes. Watermain nvolves drillin ng back to pipe metal an nd using a maaterial such aas epoxy or cement morttar to relining in protective ely line the in nside of the e existing pipes. The lining aadds a smootth non‐structural coating tto the interior surface of the e pipe which h prevents fu urther corrosiion and oxid dation of the pipe interio or and main. The num mber of servvice connectio ons, valves, b bends increases the hydrauliic capacity off the waterm and appurtenances will affect the ccost of the lining projects. The cost of liining is generrally less expeensive ovided the piipe has a reaasonable rem maining life. TThe expected service life o of the than replaacement, pro pipe can b be extended by 30 to 50 yyears with liniing procedurees if the pipe is in good structural cond dition. For older pipes, typical of the Meaford water sysstem, reliningg may not be the most eco onomical solu ution. Watermain replaceme ent is the other o most common c wattermain reneewal alternative and is more applicable e when a pipe e is closer to the end of itss useful life a nd may fail to o provide adeequate servicce and does not have enough h structural sttrength, and becomes proone to failuree. In Meaford d, one of the main unt of underssized waterm mains and cleearly replacem ment is prefeerred for theese in concerns is the amou provide adequate service. While initial watermain rreplacement costs are mo ore expensivee than order to p other renewal optionss, this option extends the useful life by far longer an nd reduces fu uture mainten nance eased to meeet demandss thereby inccreasing hyd draulic costs. Replaced watermain sizes can be incre capacity of the wate ermain. The service life of the wateermain will b be the full d design life o of the replacement pipe and ranges from 50 years to 125 years.
8.0 Water St W orage Allternativ ves There are e different types of municcipal water storage optio ns available ffor the Meafford Water SSupply System. The T two (2) main m categories include floating storagge and pump ped storage. Common typ pes of floating sttorage are elevated steel or composite e steel/concrrete tanks as well as grou und‐ based sttorage such as standpipes s where w stored water is ab bove the reqquired HGL. PPumped storrage consistss of a reservoir that can be located in‐gground, above ground or partially in‐gground wherre water is sstored below the e required HG GL and still ne eeds to be pumped, usuallly from an atttached BPS. TTo increase syystem security, tthe location o of a new storaage reservoir is suggested to be in the St. Vincent Sttreet Boosterr Zone on the so outh end of the water disttribution systtem, and at tthe highest eelevation. In aan emergenccy this tank could d then supplyy the whole system. The St. Vincent Strreet BPS alreaady pumps w water to the H HGL of the pressure zone, the erefore the construction o of pumped sttorage would d mean a losss of pressure to fill ditional energgy to re‐pum mp the wate r. For this reeason, only ffloating storaage is the reservoir and add considere ed for the St. Vincent Stree et Boosted Zo one. Three (33) options weere evaluated d during Phase 2 of the maste er planning prrocess: 1. Elevatted Storage Tank 2. Standp pipe Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

3. In‐Gro ound Reservo oir Constructe ed at above t he Minimum m Pressure Eleevation
Elevated tanks, eitherr as steel or composite taanks, providee storage at or above thee required syystem ditional pump ping is requirred, this storaage is consideered as a seccure water storage pressure. Since no add option. Th he most common adopted d tank design n in Ontario i s a compositte tank design n which inclu udes a steel tankk on top of a concrete pe edestal. This type t of consttruction has larger initial costs but red duced yearly ope erational and d maintenance e costs becau use of the lackk of additionaal pumping reequired. The stand dpipe design combines the functions of o both elevaated and pum mped storagee. A standpip pe is a steel or concrete c cylin nder containing storage th hat is partiallly above the required sysstem pressure and partially below this le evel. The waater below the required system presssure is unussable withou ut the addition o of a pumping station. Due e to the disadvantages asssociated with this type of w water storage, the standpipe e design was n not considere ed as a viable option for thhis project. In‐ground d reservoirs constructed c of o concrete or o steel can aalso provide ffloating storaage, if constrructed above the e HGL. In‐ground concrete e storage allows for the abbility to have staged consttruction and is less visible to the public. For the proposed Meaaford water sstorage expan nsion projectt, both elevatted tank storage and in‐grround storage w will be considered, as thesse types of sttorage have sshown to be the best avaailable options. For the addittion of storaage within th he St. Vincen nt Street Booosted Zone, floating sto orage is the most appropriaate and econo omical solutio on, provided either as ann elevated tan nk or as an in n‐ground con ncrete reservoir.
9.0 Water Bo W ooster Pu umping Station Optionss The Nelso on Street BPSS does not provide adequaate hydraulicc capacity to Pressure Zon ne 2 (Nelson SStreet Boosted Zone). Z The station s does not have staandby pumpiing capacity or standby p power. A new w BPS should be e installed to correct the n non‐complian nce issues andd improve th he hydraulic ccapacity within the pressure zone. The hospital is loccated within the pressuree zone; thereefore it is im mperative thaat the hydraulic capacity be improved to p provide adequ uate fire flow ws and pressures for the ho ospital. In examin ning the Nelso on Street Pressure Zone, two (2) alternnatives have b been identifieed for a new w water BPS. 1. Co onstruct BPS at the Water Tower Site 2. Co onstruct BPS in the Parkin ng Lot of the Meaford & SSt. Vincent Co ommunity Ceentre & Arenaa Alternativve 1 is at the existing watter tower site e. The properrty is large enough to acccommodate aa BPS.

O good sucttion pressure e to the BPS u under all dem mand scenari os. Approxim mately 335m of watermain n that would con nnect to Presssure Zone 2 w would need tto be upgradeed from a 1500 mm diametter watermain to a 200 mm diameter waatermain to ensure e adequ uate pressur es and flowss from pump p discharge tto the Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

The otheer advantagee of this altern native is that it facilitates ch hanges to the e Pressure Zo one 1 operattion by dediccating the w water tower tto the Nelson Street Booster Zone. Alternativve 2 is to construct a new w BPS in the e parking lot of the Meafford & St. Viincent Comm munity Centre & Arena. This p property is ow wned by the Municipality,, therefore th here will be n no land acquiisition m diameterr watermain (approximattely 240 m) along costs associated with this option. The 150 mm Collingwo ood Street wo ould need to be upgraded d to a 200mm m diameter w watermain fro om the new B BPS to Thompson Street to provide ade equate water supply to the station.. A new 200 0 mm watermain (approxim mately 340 m) will have to be installed to connect innto the existin ng watermain n at Pressuree Zone 2. Figure 1 14 shows locaation 2 for the proposed B BPS.

10.0 Water Tr W reatmen nt Plant A Alternattives The existing WTP is in full compliiance with all regulationss and can meet the full build‐out demand expansion or u upgrade. The e only issue to o be addresseed at the WTPP is low presssure in some areas without e of the main pressure zone controlle ed by the high h lift pumps aand elevated ttank. It is noted that when the WTP pumps are in operation, o th is pressurezo one has adeq quate pressurre. To nalyse why th his area experriences low pressure, the hhydraulic model was run w with Pressuree Zone further an 1 being su upplied from the elevated d tank with no WTP pumpps running. Th his situation likely occurs often as the pumps cycle offf and on as th he elevated tank fills. Moddel results baased on Presssure Zone 1 ssupply d tank exhibit significant pressure droop across the pressure zone. In the exxisting from just the elevated eriencing pressure problems, the presssure drops bby 60 – 70 Kp pa (8 – 10 psi) when thee WTP area expe pumps are switched offf and the are ea is supplied d by the elevaated tank. Mo odeling resultts show that when mum HGL in the pressure zzone is increaased from 23 2 m ASL (which is the tank full elevatio on) to the minim 239 m ASSL (which is typically t the HGL H at the WTP W from thee high lift pumps), all areas of the preessure zone have e adequate prressure. To solve tthis problem, two (2) alternatives were considered:
Alternative 1: Expand the Nelson St Booster B Zonee to encompaass all areas experiencingg low pressure probllems pumps continu uously Alternative 2: Change operaating strategyy to operate tthe high lift p
11.0 Wastewa W ater Collection A Alternatiives As noted in Phase 1 off the project ,, through CCTTV inspectionn and reiteratted in the I/I Study, the exxisting c system in Meafford requires improvemennt to correct deficiencies, including: broken sanitary collection While and crackked pipes, missaligned jointts, being parttially pluggedd due to encru ustation; and due to age. W this sectio on addresses alternatives for sewermain renewal, t here is no glo obal “preferred alternative” for this aspecct of the projject.

A have reacched the end of their useful life, the isssue of peak fllows and aim m to minimisee the energy u use of the ultimaate system. TThe main obje ective is to maaintain the efffluent qualitty within the eeffluent objectives WTP it may b of the plaant C of A. Baased on the p previous stud dies of the WW be anticipateed that the pllant is unable to o meet the effluent e objecctives for nitrification wh ile operatingg at an ADF iin excess of 2,700 m3/d. Furrther, studiess at the plantt have recom mmended limiiting peak flo ows to the plant to 8,100 m3/d due to bo ottlenecks created by the in nlet works an nd clarifiers. Over 2011‐2013 the ADF A at the Meaford M WW WTP was 2,6000 m3/d with h a peak flow w of 11,780 m3/d. mended capaacity of 2600 m3/d, the pplant is curreently operatin ng at 96% off ADF Assumingg the recomm capacity aand 145% of peak capacityy. Due to the e present flow ws and expeccted flows fro om growth, acctions are necesssary to eithe er resolve prrocess bottle enecks or to manage flow ws in order tto ensure efffluent quality is maintained aas developme ent occurs. A Alternatives innclude: 1. Exxpand the exxisting WWTP P to meet th he ADF and p peak flows exxpected at fu ull build‐out while ad ddressing the e existing I/I issues. 2. Exxpand the exxisting WWTP P in two (2) p phases with the ultimatee WWTP ablee to meet ADF and peak flows at full build‐outt while addre essing the exiisting I/I issuees. 3. Manage M peakk flows at th he WWTP by b establishin ng an equallization storaage system while managing m ADF through an a I/I reducttion program m.

Exxpand the exxisting WWTP P in two (2) p phases with the ultimatee WWTP ablee to meet ADF and peak flows at full build‐outt without add dressing the eexisting I/I isssues. The curre ent configurattion of the W WWTP is not iideal for the integration o of additional process unitss. The existing h headworks fee ed directly in nto the aeratiion basins wiith no space provided for flow splittingg to a new treattment train. In order to expand e the WWTP, W a new w headworks would need to be established upstream of the aeratiion basins to provide spacce for a flow ssplitting cham mber. As this is the case, o option nd 5 would all a require thaat a new heaadworks buildding be estab blished as a ccomponent o of any 1, 2, 4, an plant upgrades in orde er to have sufficient peak ccapacity evenn with reductiion of I/I.

Equalization storage provides a sim mple solution for managingg the excessivve peak flowss in the shortt term without m moving ahead d with an expaansion to the e plant. Equal ization storagge would imp prove the flexxibility of the pllant and allo ow the operrators to ove ercome existting peak flo ow issues. Esstablishing a flow equalizatiion system will w not provvide additionaal ADF capaccity. In order to keep th he ADF below w the recommended capacitty of the plan nt an I/I reducction program m would be n needed. The I/I program w would be requirred to reduce e extraneouss flows at a faster f pace tthan develop pment. Based d on the histtorical growth raates of the urb ban area and the potential for flow redduction, this iss a feasible so olution. Additionaally, successfu ully reducing I/I will provvide benefits upstream off the WWTP specifically aat the Bighead R River syphon. Without red duction of I/I,, the syphon will need to be expanded d to accommodate peak flow ws at ultimate build‐out. For the re easons discusssed above, tthe reduction n of I/I shouldd remain a p priority for th he Municipality. As such, optiions 4 and 5 aare not consid dered to be id deal and are nnot considereed further.

Du ue to Meaforrd’s landscape e, an in‐grounnd reservoir can be locateed so that it ssits at the system’s HGL, elim minating the need for additional pum mping. This prrovides a mo ore secure form of water sto orage. In‐grou und concrete reservoirs can have stagged constructtion; which reeduces the ccapital and operaational costs since a smalller reservoir iis initially buiilt. When req quired, the seecond phase o of the reservoir can be built tto meet dem mand needs. H However, duee to the small size of the p proposed Meeaford ot be the mo ost economiccal solution.

Additionally, they can be considered as an identifiable llandmark forr communitiees and orage facilityy of equal vo olume. The m main disadvantage take up less land than the same in‐ground sto d with elevatted storage taanks is that tthey must be repainted on n a regular b basis (every tw wenty associated (20) yearss) resulting in large mainte enance costs.

Elevated d Tank Site e Identificcation
The main criterion in selecting a siite for the po otential elevaated water taank was that it be municiipally‐ nd. This will aallow for redu uced capital ccosts. Site eleevation was n not a concern, as elevated tanks owned lan located on land below the HGL still provide secu ure floating sttorage. The only site in thee St. Vincent SStreet municipally ow wned is the old landfill sitee on Centre Sttreet. This sitte is located o on the Boosted ZZone that is m west side of Centre Sttreet just norrth of Russettt Drive show wn in Figure 117. The site h has an elevatiion of 213.5 m. Additionaal sites have e been identtified as posssible water tower locattions; howevver, they aree not municipallly‐owned. Should an ele evated tank be the prefferred altern native, the M Municipality could approach landowners in the Muir SStreet/Centre e Street area should a larrger or more prominent site be n, the formerr landfill site is used for the elevated d tank required.

The elevated storage aalternative results in the lo owest capital cost which in ncludes the co ost of constru uction and engin neering. Land cost is not in ncurred as the e intended sitte is already o owned by Meeaford. The annual operation n and maintenance costs aare low for th he elevated ttank since miinimal upkeep is necessarry and no pumpiing is require ed. Large majo or maintenan nce costs refl ect the frequ uency and higgh cost of painting the tank (every twentyy (20) years). The in‐gro ound storage e alternative results in sim milar but slighhtly higher caapital costs w which includees the cost of co onstruction, land cost, waatermain construction andd engineeringg fees. The higher capital costs are due to the Municiipality not ow wning any lan nd near the H HGL and therrefore needin ng to purchasse the land. The annual operration and maintenance costs c are low since minim mal upkeep is necessary an nd no pumping is required. N No major maintenance cossts are incurr ed, greatly reeducing the total costs oveer the 50 year pe eriod. Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

18.0 Evaluatio E on of Wa ater Trea atment P Plant Altternatives The Meafford WTP req quires no exxpansion for existing and full build‐ou ut conditions,, as the plan nt has sufficient capacity. To eliminate prressure proble ems in the m main pressuree zone, two (2) alternativees are d: evaluated Alternativve 1 would increase the Nelson Street pressure zonne boundary aand construct a larger Preessure uld solve the pressure pro Zone 2 BP PS to supply tthe larger pre essure zone. While this altternative wou oblem for the hiigher elevatio ons, it would still result in n pressure fluuctuations fo or other custo omers in the main pressure zone as the h high lift pumps cycle on aand off. It woould also mean installatio on of larger p pumps and stand d‐by power unit u in a boosted zone wh hen the existting high lift pumps alreaady have suffficient capacity tto meet all pe eaks in the maain pressure zzone and alsoo have stand‐by power avaailable. Alternativve 2 would increase the HGL of the maain pressure zzone to 239 m m elevation (aan increase o of 7 m or 10 psi), would lockk in the elevvated tank an nd would opperate the main pressure zone as a cclosed pressure zzone. This wo ould require installation off VFDs on thee high lift pum mps and the m modification o of the Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

While the e elevated tan nk would rece eive flows fro om the high liift pumps forr filling, it cou uld be dedicatted to the supply of the Ne elson Street boosted zone, reducingg the size off pumps and d stand‐by p power ent. The elevated tank cou uld also still b be available tto the main p pressure zonee under emergency requireme condition. Based on the substanttial improvem ment to operaating quality aand economyy, as well as the reduced ccapital cost, Alternative 2 is preferred to Alternative 1.
19.0 Evaluatio E on of Wa astewate er Collecction Alte ernative es The recen nt CCTV inspe ections and I//I Study has identified deeficiencies thrroughout thee Meaford sanitary sewer collections systtem that require improve ements. The deficiencies identified incclude: broken n and pipes, misalign ned joints, be eing partially plugged due to encrustattion and due to age. To ad ddress cracked p these pro oblem areas the preferre ed alternative for each ssection of seewermain wiill depend on the condition of the pipe w with no unive ersal preferre ed alternativee for the entirre system. Th he two (2) ren newal options id dentified are ssewermain re ehabilitation ((relining) or ssewermain reeplacement.
19.1 1 Sewer R Rehabilita ation Alte ernative Trenchlesss sewer rehabilitation is a commonlyy used methhod for the rrehabilitation n of comprom mised sewermaiins. Several methods m for trenchless re ehabilitation exist and incclude: pipe b bursting, slipllining, and CIPP. Each rehabilitation meth hod can successfully reduuce I/I, and bo oth sliplining and pipe bursting mproved structural integrity equivalentt to a fully repplaced pipe. CIPP rehabiliitation will prrovide provide im a minor im mprovement in structurall integrity but is not recom mmended fo or severely daamaged pipess. The number of o service con nnections willl affect the cost c of the li ning projectss, as servicess need to be recut from the new pipe. The cost of linin ng is generallyy less expensiive than replaacement, pro ovided the pip pe has a reasonaable remaining life. The expected servicce life of the ppipe can be eextended by 3 30 to 50 yearss with CIPP if the pipe is in good g structurral condition.. Sliplining aand pipe bustting both pro ovide a full 80‐100 pical of the Meaford M wateer system, CIPP relining m may have a h higher year lifecycle. For older pipes, typ uch higher thaan for lifecycle ccost. Further, the mobilizattion costs forr rehabilitatioon methods teend to be mu replacement, making tthe relining off short pipe sections unecoonomical.
19.2 2 Sewer R Replacement Alternative Sewermain replaceme ent is the oth her most com mmon sewerr renewal altternative. It is more applicable e and may faiil to provide aadequate serrvice, and doees not when a pipe is closer tto the end of its useful life have enough structuraal strength and becomes prone to fai lure. While initial sewermain replaceement enewal optionns, this option extends thee useful life longer costs are typically morre expensive tthan other re osts.

21.3 3 Alternative 3 ‐ Eq qualizatio on Storagge, I/I Red duction, Future Expansiion Between 2006 and 2014 the greaatest flow evvents at thee Meaford W WWTP have o occurred bettween December and Januarry as a result of snow melting m event s. Over this period, the highest dailyy flow occurred during Decem mber 2008 w with a max day flow of 13,,880 m3. Duriing January o of 2008 the W WWTP 3 experiencced a peak day flow of 12,508 m . Since 2008, thhe most seveere peak day flow occurreed on January 30th 2013 with h a peak day fflow of 11,77 74 m3/d. Whiile the flow o on this day is only slightly aabove A rated capaciity of the plan nt, it is well above the plannt’s recommeended re‐rateed peak capaccity of the C of A 3 8,100 m /d.

As seen in n Table 29, th he plant treate ed an excess of 3,674 m3 bbased on a peeak capacity o of 8,100 m3/d d. The 2013 peaak flow event was caused by a 22 mm m rain storrm which ressulted in rap pid melting o of the accumulated snowfall. Based on th he informatio on provided in the annuaal report, thee peak flow eevents urred during 2008 were also the result of heavy raains causing a rapid snow w melt. The rapid that occu melting events have h historically occcurred over aa one (1) to ttwo (2) day p period and w would therefo ore be ommodated by b a temporaary storage option o such as an equaliization tank. Due to the short well acco duration of the peak flow events, it would be possible for the stored ssewage to bee pumped ou ut and treated within w the following days. The plant has a need foor an expansiion of the aeeration basins and clarifiers, based on pre evious reports. It is propossed that the cclarifier and aaeration tankk be constructted at o be used as equalization storage in th he short term m before bein ng modified tto operate to o their the site to intended manner. An n equalization tank for th he Meaford W WWTP would d need to bee large enou ugh to temporarily store the flow over and above the peak capa city for an eevent as desccribed abovee. The required ultimate clarifier and aeration volume e is suitable ffor the purpo oses of equalization storaage as shown in the followingg discussion. In order to accommodate growth aand ensure the plant conti nues to meett the effluentt objectives, aa plan d on the 2014 I/I Study Reeport, for reduciing I/I will be required to keep the ADFF below 2,7000 m3/d. Based there is significant s opportunity to reduce extraaneous flowss and reclaim m reserve cap pacity at the plant. 3 During th he month of April 2014 an estimated 2,458 m /d of flow was determined to be extran neous, 3 which translates to an increase in tthe yearly AD DF of 205 m / d. In terms o of growth plan nning, 205 m3/d of reclaimed d capacity through I/I reductions would be sufficientt to service an n additional eeighteen (18) years Municipality of Meaford Water & W Waste Water Servicing Master Plan

Based on the known extent of exttraneous flow ws and the hhistorical ratee of growth iin the urban area, equalizatiion storage and a I/I reducttion would be an effectivve solution fo or the plant ffor the next 15‐20 years. Eve entually, oppo ortunities forr I/I reduction n become lim mited or impraactical and a plant upgrad de will be required to increasse capacity.

It is expeccted that by ccontinuing wiith the existin ng I/I reductioon program tthe Municipallity can reducce the 3 ultimate p peak day from m the 17,700 m /d to 15,600 m3/d. Based on the current design guidelines for exxtended aerattion plants p providing nitrrification, thee HRT e ≥ 15 hours aand the SRT sshould be ≥ 1 15 days at th e ADF for thee biological sttep. For an A ADF of should be 3 3 5,400 m /d, the ultima / ate plant shou uld have a tottal aeration v olume of 3,3775 m . The curre ent design gu uidelines for secondary clarifiers speciifies a maxim mum SOR of 4 40 m3/m3‐d and a peak solid ds loading raate of 170 kgg/m2‐d. At a RAS rate of 100% and a MLSS of 350 00 mg/L, thee total 2 clarifier area required to meet the e ultimate pe eak flow is 4550 m . Assum ming a SWD o of 4.5 m, thee total 3 ed is 2025 m . aeration vvolume neede While the e need for equalization sto orage is required in the sh ort term, it iss anticipated that this neeed will be elimin nated by the reduction off inflow sourrces and pla nt expansion n. It is recom mmended thaat the tankage ffor the future e clarifiers an nd aeration b basins be des igned to opeerate as equaalization storaage in the short term. This course c of actiion will deferr the need foor full expanssion in the sh hort term an nd will ut the investtment in the plant over a a longer timee period. Thee total additiional tank vo olume spread ou 3 needed to o treat the ulttimate flows is 3,622 m , w which is very similar to thee calculated vvolume needeed for an equalizzation tank to meet the ccurrent needss. The addittional space rrequirementss for benching and appurtenaances should be taken into o account in the design. D Design of the tanks for futu ure modificattion is importantt for both the e reduction o of long term ccapital costs aas well as maanagement off space at thee site. This aspecct of Alternattive 3 is integrral to its viability in compaarison to the o other alternaatives presentted. When de evelopment outpaces o the e ability of the Municippality to reduce extraneous flows, aand a subsequent loss in effluent quality is experience ed, the seconnd phase of the program sshould be inittiated and the plant p should be expanded to meet th he ultimate fflows. The p process expan nsions requirred to service the population at ultimate b build‐out are summarised in Figure 19.

Dependin ng on the sittuation, the preferred so olution may involve a co ombination o of the altern native solutions to best solve the identified problem.
22.1 1 Water D Distribution The existiing water disstribution sysstem is adequate to suppport development to full build‐out bu ut will require pipe repair an nd replaceme ent of current pipes to m eet MOECC gguidelines an nd to combatt pipe nally local development w watermains arre to be addeed to the systtem by developers deteriorattion. Addition or by the Municipality to support m multiple new d developmentss. Watermain rehabilitattion is the le east expensivve option to implement o on an initial capital cost basis. However, if the structural integrityy of the watermain does nnot support aa lengthy incrrease in usefu ul life, watermain relining is not effective e. Relining does not alwaays improve the structural integrity o of the watermain; therefore the chance of o a watermaain break wo uld not chan nge if it is relined. Therefo ore, it would not be economical to reline a watermain n that has po or structural integrity. Th he disruption n from mal, only the entry and exit pits woulld have to b be dug, which h would keep the construction is minim restoratio on cost down n. The wate ermain canno ot be used dduring the cleeaning and rrelining proceess; a bypass lin ne must be used to provid de water to aall customerss. The reliningg should not be done in ccolder months, ssince the bypass line could d freeze. The e relining can decrease thee inside diam meter of the p pipe; a small diam meter pipe w would decreasse the hydrau ulic capacity of the pipe. SSince many o of the pipes w within Meaford that should be renewed are 100 mm m diameter ppipes, makingg their diam meter even sm maller ot be beneficcial to the water w distribu ution system.. One of the main reasons to renew w the would no watermain is to increaase the hydraaulic capacityy within the ssystem. Watermain rehab bilitation is a good ermain and where w the sizze of the waatermain doees not need to be option for structurallyy sound wate changed. Watermain replaceme ent is the mo ore expensive e option to im mplement. Th here is a largge up front ccapital cost to re eplace the watermain; ho owever, money is saved iin operationaal costs. Theese operation n cost savings in nclude not rep pairing waterrmain breaks,, and less unaaccounted for water. Rep placing waterm mains allows the e Municipalitty to install th he size of waatermain to ssuit the distribution system m needs based on future needs and build d‐out. If the w watermain is too small to provide adeq quate hydrau ulic capacity tthen a he hydraulic ccapacity throu ughout the syystem. Watermain larger wattermain may be installed tto improve th replacement is more disruptive th han watermaain relining. The most co ommon meth hod of watermain c method; this usually involves excaavation of up p to half the road to instaall the replacement is open cut watermain.

Through tthe master planning proce ess, Phases 1 and 2 of the planning pro ocess have beeen completed and all requirrements have e been fulfilled. The pro oject is locatted on an exxisting Municcipally‐owned d site housing th he elevated tank.
22.4 4 Water T Treatmen nt Plant The WTP is adequate to meet the e needs of full build‐out.. An upgradee is recommeended to improve e main pressu ure zone by in nstalling VFDss and modifying the contro ol system. The VFD pressure ccontrol in the installatio on at the WTTP falls underr Schedule A in the Class EA list of mu unicipal wateer and wastew water projects. The project is pre‐apprroved and caan proceed without folllowing the p public notificcation procedure e outlined in the Class EA.
22.5 5 Wastew water Collection The existiing wastewatter collection n system is adequate to ssupport deveelopment to full build‐outt with only locall developmen nt sewermain ns to be com mpleted by deevelopers or by the Municipality wherre the sewermaiins support m multiple devellopments. The Master Serrvicing Study has also iden ntified the neeed for upgrades to the existin ng sewermain ns. In general, sewermain n rehabilitatio on is less exp pensive to im plement than n full replaceement on an initial capital co ost basis. However, facto ors such as the length annd structural integrity of sewermain being replaced, the traffic co onditions witthin the area and numberr of service connections m must be taken n into account. CIPP relining does not always impro ove the strucctural integritty of the seweermain, meaning the chan nce of a break w would not chaange if it is re elined. There efore, it woul d not be eco onomical to reline a sewermain that has poor p structurral integrity. In these case es, if a relininng strategy iss preferred, either slipliniing or pipe burssting would be b more appropriate, as structural inttegrity would d be improveed. The disru uption from consstruction is m minimal, for CIPP the liner is installed frrom MH to M MH. Slipliningg and pipe bursting both requ uire only enttry and exit pits to be du ug. The seweermain canno ot be used d during the reelining process; tthe rehabilitaation must be e coordinated d with the ressidents along the section tto ensure theey are not attem mpting to use e the sewer for a minimum m of 24 hourrs. Both slip lining and CIPP will reducce the internal d diameter of th he sewer pipe e, however itt will also deccrease the loccal infiltration n rates and reeduce the frictio on factor of th he pipe. Sewermain replaceme ent is the mo ore expensive e option to im mplement. Th here is a largge up front ccapital r the sewermain; however, depending onn the section being rep paired, often pipe cost to replace replacement has a low wer lifecycle ccost. The mo ost common method of seewermain replacement is open cut metho od; this usuaally involves excavation e off up to half tthe road to install the sew wermain. This can cause disrruption to ne earby residents while consstruction is beeing completted, howeverr the sewer seervice can be maaintained thro oughout consstruction.

22.7 7 Wastew water Trea atment Overall, itt is recomme ended that th he Municipaliity adopt Alt ernative 3 fo or the expanssion of the W WWTP which invvolves establisshing the ultiimate clarifie er and aeratioon basin tankks at the existting WWTP ssite to be used for f storm rettention in the e near term. The plant c urrently expeeriences sign nificant peak flows which willl be effective ely managed by establishing equalizattion storage aat the site. Itt is recommeended that the cclarifier and aaeration basin tankage be e designed too be effectivee as storm rettention tankss until they are rrequired in orrder for the p plant to meet effluent objeectives. The I//I reduction p program is inttegral to this altternative as iit has been id dentified in p previous studdies that the existing WW WTP may be n not be 3 able to meet the C of A A effluent lim mits while ope erating at an ADF greater than 2,700 m m /d. The objeective of the I/I reduction program will therefore be b to reducee extraneouss flows at tthe same pace as developm ment and kee ep the plantt ADF at approximately 2,600 m3/d.. This will allow the plaant to essentiallyy be operate ed as an EAA AS plant with a capacity oof 2,700 m3/d d and an 8,10 00 m3/d peak and maximize the level of ttreatment. Dependin ng on the project for the W WWTP upgrad des, differentt schedules in n the Class EA A process mu ust be followed. The WWTP refurbishme ent and demolition of thee old sludgee storage, up pgrades to th he UV on channel and odour con ntrol system construction all fall underr Schedule A and are therrefore disinfectio pre‐appro oved projectss that can pro oceed withou ut following tthe public no otification pro ocedure set o out in the Class EA. The sto orm equalization basin faalls under Scchedule B an nd can proceeed following the on of the Master Plan as the required Class EA procedure in Phases 1 and 2 have been completio completed. The repurrposing of the storm equalization bas in, new head dworks building, new bio osolids d new UV disinfection all require the Schedule C pprocedure to o be followed d. This will reequire works and additional phases to be e followed alllowing the en ntire Class EA A procedure to o be completed.

24.0 General S G Summarry and Requirem ments 24.1 1 Propose ed Service e Area The propo osed service area includes everything within the M Meaford urbaan settlementt area. The seervice th area is bo ounded by Centreville Ro oad to the no orth, 7 Linee to the westt, Muir Road to the south h and Georgian Bay to the eaast. The area encompasses the urban ccentre of Meaaford. Undeveeloped land w within osed service aarea has been n zoned as ressidential, com mmercial, industrial or insttitutional, allo owing the propo an estimated full bu uild‐out popu ulation to be b estimatedd. The zonin ng also provvided an acccurate nding of how w developme ent will take place in M eaford. This information was used in the understan developm ment of the prrojects identiffied in the Maaster Plan.
24.2 2 Propose ed Water Distributtion and SStorage Sy ystem Examinatiion of the Meaford waterr distribution system allow wed for the iidentification n of watermaains in need of rehabilitation r and replace ement. Currently the systtem experien nces lowered pressure in areas where the ere are inade equately sized d pipes. The preferred soolution outlinees that both rehabilitation and replacement of inadeq quate waterm mains will allow for the moost suitable an nd most cost effective solution. watermain to gain knowled dge on the exxisting condition of Flow testiing will be conducted on aall cast iron w the pipes and to unde erstand what solution willl most effect ively improvee the currentt situation. A All 100 meter waterm main will be replaced to comply with MOECC guidelines, whicch states thaat the mm diam minimum diameter off watermain is 150 mm. N New sectionss of watermaain will be constructed to allow future devvelopment in n the urban se ettlement are ea to be conn ected to the system. With an in ncreasing pop pulation, morre water storaage is requireed by the MO OECC guidelinees. To increasse the systems sstorage, an in‐ground wate er storage resservoir has beeen proposed d at the south h end of the urban settlemen nt area on County C Road 7. The reserrvoir will be 2000 m3 off floating sto orage requirin ng no pumping due to the grround elevatio on of the rese ervoir. The curre ent Nelson Street BPS doe es not provide adequate ffire flow to the Nelson Sttreet Booster Zone and is plaanned to be decommissio oned. To replace this BPSS, a new stattion will be cconstructed aat the water tow wer location. TThis new BPSS will improve e the pressurees and fire flo ows in Pressure Zone 2, wh hich is importantt because the e hospital is lo ocated within n this pressuree zone.
24.3 3 Propose ed Water Supply an nd Treatm ment Systtem Through tthe master pllanning proce ess it was ide entified that tthe capacity o of the existing water treattment system haas adequate ccapacity to provide water to Meaford customers du uring existingg and full builld‐out conditions.

SPS No o. 3 will requiire pump upggrades in ordeer to service the ultimate development; I&C upgrades have also be een recomme ended for SPSS No. 3. No upgrades havve been reco ommended fo or SPS No. 4 or SSPS No. 5. It sshould be no oted that the primary funcction of SPS N No. 4 is to service the Knigght of Meaford Lumber Facto ory which maay be shut down in the ne ar future. The Municipalitty should havve this station de ecommissioned at the tim me the facto ory is shut doown. The cost of decommissioning w will be incurred b by Knight of M Meaford Lumber Factory. A future SSPS will be required to servvice the new developmennt areas in thee southern po ortion of the urban area alongg Coleman Sttreet. A statio on location haas been propoosed on Coleman Street in n order for seewage to be pum mped south to Muir Streett and connecct into sewagee catchment area 2. The n new SPS will result in a new catchment area (area 6). Catchment aarea 6 will enncompass thee future expaansion of Coleman Street.
24.5 5 Propose ed Waste Water Trreatment System The master planning process p has reiterated r the e findings of f previous rep ports that the Meaford W WWTP ent capacity to meet the d demands of tthe ultimate developmentt. A plan has been does not have sufficie developed d to ensure the plant has ccapacity to handle the inteense peak flo ow events thaat occur durin ng the spring as w well as the ye early ADF. The upgraades required d to service tthe ultimate population innclude a new w headworks facility, additional aeration ccapacity, add ditional clarifier capacity, aa new disinfeection system m and an exp pansion of thee bio‐ solids han ndling facility. In order to effectively m manage peak flows in nearr term, it is reecommended d that the Municcipality design and construct the future aeration annd clarifier taanks to be useed as interim m peak flow equalization in order to reduce hydrau ulic overload ing at the p plant during peak flows. The ment of ADFs aat the plant w will be tied to the ongoing management of I/I that iss being underrtaken managem by the Mu unicipality. The ultimate WWTP w will have an AD DF capacity off 5,400 m3/d with a peak fflow capacity of 16,000 m3/d.
24.6 6 Propertty Require ements Meaford w will need to aacquire land ffor the in‐gro ound storage reservoir. Th he proposed llocation for the in‐ ground storage reservo oir is on Greyy Road 7 apprroximately 5000 m south off Muir Road.

The goal of the Impro ovement Plan Phase 1 iss to obtain aa baseline of the conditio on of waterm mains, c presssure issues and a to start replacing r wa termains thaat do not com mply with M MOECC improve current guideliness. Flow testing will be com mpleted on the e cast iron pi pes in the network to see which pipes are in greater need for replaacement due e to corrosion and tubercculation and which pipes can be improved will be develo oped from thee data through rehabilitation measures. A rehabilitation and replaceement plan w collected during flow ttesting. This p plan will be u used during thhe rest of Phaase 1 as well as Phases 2 and 3 d replacemen nt. 1000 m peer year of 1000 mm diameeter cast iron pipe, to prioritiize pipe rehabilitation and identified to be replaaced by the rehabilitation and replaccement plan,, will be rep placed to improve ompliance. Thhe existing pumps at the Water Treattment pressure issues and allow MOECC guideline co with VFDs to help reduce current presssure issues beeing experien nced by the p public. Plant will be replaced w oster Zone, the existing N Nelson To further improve prressure issuess, specificallyy in the Nelsoon Street Boo ommissioned d and replaced by a new B BPS at the waater tower sitte. The imporrtance Street BPSS will be deco of the new w BPS is that it will allow for adequate ffire flow at thhe Meaford G General Hospiital. The main purpose of P Phase 2 is to expand Meafford’s water sstorage capacity. To allow w for the in‐grround reservoir to be constrructed, new watermain must m be instaalled along C County Road 7 to connecct the reservoir to the systtem. This ad dditional watter storage is needed w when the po opulation reaches approximately 5,800 people. p The watermain w an nd reservoir is development‐related aand will likelyy only proceed w when overall system storaage capacity d does not meeet MOECC req quirements. TThe remainin ng 100 mm cast iiron pipe will also be remo oved and rep placed during Phase 2. 10000 m will be rreplaced each h year in accordaance with the e rehabilitatio on and replacement plan. The objecctive of Phase e 3 is to remo ove all remaining cast ironn pipe in the water distrib bution system m. The rehabilitation and rep placement plan p will be used to ideentify the pipe priority aand also wh hether ng is the prefe erred solution. Since thesse pipes diam meters meet M MOECC guideelines, replacement or relinin pipe rehaabilitation can n be used forr watermains that are stilll in good con ndition. 1000 0 m of pipe w will be identified to be replace ed/rehabilitated each year. Phase 4 o of the Improvvement Plan will be to remove all addditional 100 m mm watermain that is non n‐cast iron. Thiss will allow the entire sysstem to be in compliancee with MOEC CC guideliness and help reeduce pressure iissues caused d by inadequaately sized pip pes. In additio on to the repaairs and replaacements nee eded throughhout the urbaan settlement area, there are a number of o watermain ns and waterr distribution n infrastructuure that will be required to service ffuture planned d developmentss. The projectts that are to o be partially or fully fundeed by develop pment chargees are shown in Table #. The e demand off existing con nditions was compared w with full build‐out conditio ons to e the costs incurred by the municip pality verses developmen nt with only the develop pment determine charges shown below. Developer ch harges have b been divided by the 3 hyd draulic pressure zones thatt exist ork. This is be ecause some e of the projeects only affeect certain pressure zonees and throughout the netwo because tthe growth in each pressurre zone variess.

Sewage C Collection n System – I/I Reducction Progrram
Maintaining a WWTP A ADF below 2,,700 m3/d an nd ensuring thhe effluent objectives con ntinue to be m met is the primaary driver for an I/I reduction program.. Based on tthe 2015 I/I SStudy Report there is significant opportunity to reduce extraneous fflows and recclaim reservee capacity at tthe plant. Du uring the mon nth of 3 4, an estimatted 2,458 m /d of flow wa / as determineed to be extraneous, whicch translates to an April 2014 3 increase in the yearly ADF of 205 m m /d. While fully eliminati ng I/I during the spring m melt is not feaasible, e and se everity of exxtraneous flow ws in the collection systeem. In this pointt serves to illlustrate the extent terms of ggrowth plann ning, 205 m3/d of reclaime / ed capacity thhrough I/I red ductions wou uld be sufficieent to service an n additional e eighteen (18) years of grow wth in the urbban area baseed on the histtorical growth h rate and an assumed sewagge production n rate of 450 L/cap/day. Figure 22 shows the projected grow wth rate and the cumulatiive reduction n in I/I requireed to maintain the 3 plant ADFF at 2600 m /d. Overall, the yearly requ uirement to keeep up with d developmentt is an approximate 3 20 m /d in i I/I reductio on each yearr. Additionallyy, the contin uation of I/I reduction will ensure thaat the sewage flows will not e exceed the caapacity of the e Bighead Riveer syphon.

The goal o of the Improvvement Plan Phase 1 is to rehabilitate tthe existing p plant and con ntinue I/I redu uction efforts. Rehabilitation efforts will extend e the useful life of tthe existing p plant. The co ontinued effo orts to 3 reduce I/II aim to main ntain the ADF of the plant below 2,6000 m /d and su ustain the abiility of the plaant to meet efflu uent criteria. The primary objective e of Phase 2 2 of the Imprrovement Plaan is to estaablish the futture clarifiers and basins at the WWTP site tto be used for peak flow m management. The continu uation of I/I eefforts aeration b is suggested to contiinue with an n increased effort to haave improperr sewer conn nections rem moved throughout urban Meaaford. With peak flows effecctively managged by the interim retentiion tank, Phaase 3 of the IImprovementt Plan continuess to focus on n the reduction of I/I to increase reseerve capacityy at the plant to allow fo or the continuattion of develo opment. At Phase 4 it is suggested that all o of the SPS upggrades be com mpleted. Furtther, it is sugggested that tthe I/I e best course of action witth respect to continuing reehabilitation o of the Study be updated to determine the sanitary ccollection systtem. Phase 5 of the improve ement plan co onsists of the e continuationn of I/I reducttion efforts. Phase 6 of the plan is initiated when w the WWTP W can noo longer meeet the efflueent criteria aand is At this point tthe interim s torm tanks w will be retrofitted to operaate as essentiallyy a full plant expansion. A aeration b basins and claarifiers to servvice the full b build‐out pop ulation. In additio on to the repaairs and replaacements nee eded throughhout the urbaan area, there are a numb ber of projects tthat will be re equired to se ervice the ultimate develo pment. The p projects that are to be partially or fully funded by deve elopment chaarges are show wn in Table 440. The percentage of the project paid ffor by the develo oper is indicaated in the pro oject name. D Developer chaarges have beeen divided b by the 6 catch hment areas that exist througghout the network. This iss because som me of the prrojects only affect certain areas use the growth in each are ea varies. The e new processs or processees being replaaced at the W WWTP and becau were divided based on the increasse from the current c ADF to the full build‐out ADF.

Progress Report # 1 is to be in a format that can be easily converted to the Master Plan Report. The Municipality intends to hold a Phase 1 Public Information Centre (PIC) to obtain comment on the Problem Statement, Study Area and the Service Area. The successful consultant is to allow for arranging, holding and attending a Phase 1 PIC. The Consultant shall prepare a letter to all technical agencies and prepare the Notice for the local newspapers advertising the PIC and soliciting comments on the Master Plan. Task 2: Identification of Alternative Solutions (Class EA Phase II) The Consultant is to identify servicing alternatives including combinations of alternatives which would address the problem statement and the study objectives. Only reasonable alternatives
and combinations of alternatives which meet the study objectives will be carried forward. The Consultant will provide descriptions and cost estimates for each alternative solution, complete with drawings and other supporting materials for review by the Steering Committee. In considering the preparation of the Class EA Master Plan, the Municipality is required to fully assess all reasonable alternatives to address the identified problem. As noted previously, with respect to water supply and wastewater treatment options, the Master Plan is to be based on the premise that the Meaford Water Treatment Plant and the Meaford Wastewater Treatment Plant will be used to service areas rather than the establishment of new facilities. In addition the municipal servicing options, as required by the Class EA process, this Class EA study will assess the following activities within the Study Area as part of the possible alternatives:
Do Nothing Limit Community Growth Water Efficiencies Reduction of Infiltration and Inflow
The successful consultant will be required to expand on all options to include new pipeline routes, upgrades to existing pump stations, new pump station and water storage facility locations. Consideration is to be given to modular design of all future water and wastewater infrastructure, including pipelines, to allow for coordinated future growth throughout the Municipality. Land requirements for future pump stations and water reservoirs are to be adequately sized to allow for staging of modular designs. In each of the series of possible solutions, the Master Plan will address the “Do Nothing” alternative to provide a baseline comparison for solutions. Each respondent to this RFP is to provide with the Qualitative Submission, a preliminary Outline of their Master Plan Document in the form of a Draft Index. This submission will be used in the evaluation of the proposals. The Project Team will develop social/environmental/technical criteria for the evaluation of alternatives. As a key part of assessing the viability of proposed alternatives, the Study will identify a series of criteria by which to measure each alternative. These will include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
Social Environment Land Use – compatibility with Official Plan Community cohesiveness Noise and mitigation Construction Impacts and mitigation Heritage Archaeology Agricultural land Quality of Life - Health and Safety
Natural Environment Environmentally sensitive areas Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI’s) Woodlots Creeks Fisheries Wetlands (including PSW’s) Wildlife and Birds Vegetation Air quality Stormwater issues
Technical Ability to satisfy design criteria Capacity Phasing Capabilities Geometrics (vertical and horizontal) Reliability Approvability (Review Agencies) Land Requirements (ease of acquiring) Structural Considerations (Geotechnical) Maintenance and operating needs Architectural considerations (general only based on surrounding development) Utility considerations (hydro supply, etc.)
Cost Capital Operating
Attend Steering Committee meeting(s) to review and provide input into alternatives and combinations of alternatives, and criteria by which alternatives will be evaluated. Task 3: Evaluation and Selection of Preliminary Preferred Solutions (Class EA Phase II) The Consultant shall assess alternatives using the selected evaluation criteria and identify “Recommended” solutions. This will be an iterative evaluation process, including refinement of alternatives, new options and combinations as they arise. A matrix evaluation method may be employed to ensure that each alternative is assessed against the same criteria. Based on the Profile of the Study Area and selected evaluation criteria, the Consultant is to assess the potential impacts and net effects (after mitigation) of each of the alternative water and wastewater solutions. At this stage, the site location and/or route of each alternative will be presented in sufficient detail so that mitigation methods can be assessed and environmental impacts addressed.
The Consultant shall identify “Recommended” alternatives or combination of alternatives. This identification shall list the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative solution and clearly state the reasons for the selection of the “Recommended” alternatives. This assessment may use a single project-by-project method or take a systems approach. The Consultant shall attend Steering Committee meeting(s) to review and provide input into:
The identification of alternatives and combinations of alternatives; The evaluation of alternatives; The selection of “Recommended” solutions; and To present Draft public open house information to the Municipality for review and comment.
The Consultant shall prepare Progress Report #2 and submit it to the Municipality for comment prior to the Phase 2 PIC. Progress Report #2 will include documentation of all alternatives, evaluation criteria, the evaluation of alternatives and the rationale for the selection of the “Recommended” solutions. Progress Report # 2 is to be in a format that can be easily converted to the Master Plan Report. Task 4: Public Consultation The Consultant shall prepare a letter to all technical agencies and put a notice in local newspapers advertising the Phase 2 PIC and soliciting comments on the Master Plan. The Steering Committee will host a Phase 2 PIC to solicit public comments and suggestions on the following:
Problem statement; Existing conditions/background/Study Area Profile; Alternative solutions; Evaluation criteria; Evaluation of alternative solutions, and “Recommended” solutions.
This Phase 2 PIC will be in the form of an open house – drop-in centre. The Consultant shall prepare Progress Report #3 to document the results of the PIC by compiling a summary of the comments and questions received along with a listing of the Municipality’s responses to same. Progress Report #3 is to be in a format that can be easily converted to the Master Plan Report. Task 5: Prioritizing Preferred Solutions The successful consultant shall recommend a prioritization list of the recommended projects for Municipality review and approval and for inclusion in the Master Plan Document. The Consultant is to recommend a phasing program for all preferred solutions complete with anticipated completion dates. Task 6: Master Plan Documentation
The Consultant shall document the results of the study by compiling Progress Reports #1-3 into a single Master Plan document. The Master Plan will identify all water and wastewater projects required to address the problem statement and satisfy Phases 1 and 2 of the Class EA planning process. The Master Plan Document is to be structured such that each of the service areas has it own sections (water and wastewater). Along with this project listing, the Master Plan will provide detailed information about the following for each project:
Class EA Schedule Proposed facility location and or pipeline route Dimensions of property required and preliminary layout of proposed facility Brief description of the function of the facility Anticipated construction date required Prioritization (based on criteria established) Capital cost estimate
The Master Plan will also include mitigation measures for the proposed preferred solutions outlining the steps necessary to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts of the proposed projects (e.g., best management practices included in the consideration of the net effects). The Master Plan will also address implementation measures in which all the required permits and approvals are clearly listed for each project (e.g., Certificate of Approval, Permit To Take Water, etc.). This Master Plan will include results of the Steering Committee, technical agencies and public consultation. Given the nature of the Class EA process, the outcome of the evaluation cannot be predicted. However, for the purposes of the terms of reference for this project, the Municipality has assumed that most of the projects will be classified as Schedule B Activities under the MEA Class EA Document. Creek crossings may need to be identified as Schedule C Projects, requiring additional Class EA planning. This will depend on the feasibility of using trenchless methods for pipeline installation giving consideration that creek crossings will be Schedule “B” Projects. However, the selected consultant will be required to identify all applicable projects and confirm their associated Class EA Schedules. A Steering Committee meeting will be held to review and provide input into the draft Master Plan. The Municipality will review the draft Master Plan and provide comments prior to the finalization of the Report to ensure that it incorporates the comments of the public, technical agencies and Steering Committee. The Consultant shall finalize the Master Plan and provide copies to the Municipality along with an electronic version. For budgeting and scheduling purposes, the following Report Deliverables must be included:
Progress Report # 1 – one digital and 3 hard copies Progress Report # 2 – one digital and 3 hard copies Progress Report # 3 – one digital and 3 hard copies Draft Master Plan for Municipality review prior to the 2nd PIC – one digital and 3 hard copies (no Appendices)
Draft Master Plan for MOE review prior to 30 day public review – three digital and 6 hard copies, with all Appendices Draft Master Plan for 30-day public review complete with all Appendices and related background Reports – three digital and 5 hard copies (2 for public display) Final Master Plan following 30-day public review – three digital and five hard copies complete with all Appendices and related background Reports.
The consultant will make presentations to the Municipality of Meaford Council on three separate occasions to present the Progress Reports. The Municipality will publish a Notice of Completion for the Schedule B Projects for the required 30-day review period and release the draft Master Plan for review and comment. The Consultant shall identify a specific number of hours of time for the Project Manager to review and comment on written public or agency questions or comments resulting from the Notice of Completion. No Time is to be budgeted for receiving and addressing any requests for a “Part II Order”. The Consultant shall identify any Ministry of Transportation requirements with respect to obtaining easements and the installation of proposed infrastructure within the Highway 26 Corridor. The Consultant shall identify and determine the complexity of proposed specific works based on actual communications with MTO representatives on the potential construction methods and MTO requirements based on the complexity of the work. This information is to be included in a separate Clause of the Master Plan.

1.
Project Documentation Three copies of the Engineering Agreement have been signed by the Municipality and provided to Ainley. Ainley will sign and return two copies to the Municipality. Action by Ainley Ainley has submitted its WSIB Clearance Certificate and Certificates of Insurance.
2.
Project Goals and Objectives The Municipality must reserve adequate funds for future development and expansion of the distribution, collection and treatment systems. A primary objective of the study is to provide a basis to determine adequate development charges to ensure funds are available for required capital projects. This study will provide descendible costs to ensure all future costs are covered. Although there have been various projects completed to look at future servicing there has never been one comprehensive study linked directly to D.C. charges. The study will also provide the Municipality with a basis to schedule ongoing maintenance of roadways with repairs or upsizing of pipelines as required minimizing long term costs. The
Municipality of Meaford Minutes of Project Initiation Meeting June 18, 2014

study will provide for the proper coordination of infrastructure development. The study is to be confined to build-out of the existing Meaford community and is not to consider developments remote from this community. The plan is to provide a logical growth plan in practical phasing. It is the policy of the Municipality to promote growth. 3.
Team Roles Ainley will be primarily responsible for all aspects of the servicing study. The Municipality will be responsible to support the Ainley team by providing required information for completion of the study. The Steering Committee will be the primary source of guidance and reviews to Ainley from the Municipality. Steering Committee Members:
4.
Stephen Vokes Chris Collyer Rob Armstrong Darcy Chapman Brady Carbert
Communications All project communications from Ainley to the Municipality will be distributed to all members of the Steering Committee. Gary Scott will be the primary source of contact for communications from the Municipality to Ainley, however other team members will be in contact with the Municipality as required.
5.
Schedule and Workplan A preliminary schedule was included in the Ainley proposal. This showed a completion date (after the 30 day review) of March 17, 2014. This is still the target date and will be sufficient to support the D.C. Study. It is likely that the D.C. Study consultant will be appointed this year and that coordination will take place before the Servicing Study is complete. Given the delayed start to the project a slightly revised table of key dates were presented and discussed. The following “Key Dates” were discussed: Steering Committee Meeting # 1: Rescheduled from July 30, 2014 to August 13, 2014 Council Presentation # 1: Cancelled (PIC will be schedules the same day as Council) Public Information Centre # 1: Rescheduled from September 17, 2014 to September 8, 2014 Steering Committee Meeting # 2: Confirmed September 24, 2014 Steering Committee Meeting # 3: Confirmed October 29, 2014 Generally deliverables will be provided for Steering Committee review and revised following
Municipality of Meaford Minutes of Project Initiation Meeting June 18, 2014

discussion with the steering committee. Any workshop, PIC’s or Council Presentations would follow review by the Steering Committee. The current schedule provides adequate time for the Municipality to integrate the findings of the study into the changes to the development charges. It was agreed upon that one Workshop should be replaced with an “Educational Session” for the new Council after the election takes place. It was agreed that the local developers should be invited to a Workshop to be held before the initiation of Phase 2 of the project. It was suggested that the developers be split into two separate groups based on size. The Municipality will canvas interest among some of the developers and the workshops will be arranged accordingly. Action by Municipality 6.
Public Consultation Program Copies of the Draft Agency Contact List, First Nations Contact List, Notice of Commencement, and Agency letter were distributed at the meeting to all attendees for review and comment. Action by Municipality Ainley suggested that the Notice of Commencement be finalized and issued as soon as possible following review by the Steering Committee. The Municipality will review and recommend changes to the draft documents and return to Ainley to be finalised. Action by Municipality
7.
Data Collection Ainley will hold an internal meeting and complete an information gap analysis to determine what documentation is currently available to our team and what is required from the Municipality. The results of this analysis will be provided to the Municipality. Action by Ainley A meeting will be held with the planning department to review development/ build-out plans.

1.
Progress Since Last Meeting The models of the water distribution and waste water collection systems are now up to date with existing infrastructure. The trunk main layout for ultimate development is now reflected within the sewer and water models. Both models have been calibrated to existing conditions. The technical memoranda for both the sewer and water model have been distributed to the Municipality for review/comment. Action by Municipality The technical memoranda for water system and wastewater system alternatives have been completed in draft and have been distributed to the Municipality for review/comment. Action by Municipality The two technical memoranda that backup the information to be presented at PIC No.2 will be updated based on the comments of the Municipality and finalised preceding the public meeting on February 26th, 2015.

Municipality as a part of the original proposal. Despite the delays the completion date after the 30 day review period is not expected to change. An additional meeting to finalise the materials for PIC No.2 was proposed by Ainley. The follow-up meeting will be held on Tuesday February 17th. A newspaper advertisement will be prepared by Ainley and will be submitted to the Municipality for review by February 13th. The ad will be run in the Meaford Express on February 19th and February 25th. Final materials for PIC No.2 must be submitted by Friday February 13th for review by the Municipality preceding the meeting to be held on February 17th. PIC No.2 will be booked for 7:00 pm on Thursday February 26th. The preferred location for the meeting is at the Meaford Town Hall but the final location will be subject to availability. Action by Ainley 3.
Summary of Wastewater Model Results The results of the wastewater collection model were discussed. In order to understand the impact the potential Meaford Highlands development would have on the sanitary collection system, the Municipality would like an understanding of available sewer capacity from the sewer main on Sykes Street at Muir Street to the WWTP. Available capacity is to be calculated for the present day and ultimate build out scenarios. Action by Ainley
4.
Summary of Wastewater Alternatives Evaluation The progress on the Technical Memoranda was discussed. A draft copy of the Wastewater Alternatives and Evaluation memorandum was distributed to the Municipality for review and comment. Action by Municipality Progress on the draft report will be continued by Ainley and the report will be finalised when comments are received from the Municipality. The municipality identified that the final report recommendations should include a statement to the effect that SPS#4 should be decommissioned in the event that the Knights of Meaford factory on Boucher Street is shut down. Action by Ainley
5.
Wastewater Project Recommendations The yearly target to be targeting for wastewater projects was discussed. The budget allocated to complete wastewater capital projects is approximately $400,000/year. However the Municipality does not want the planning process to be restricted by the existing budget. A target budget was not agreed upon during the meeting. Project planning will be completed on the basis of prioritizing high impact projects particularly with respect to I/I reduction.
6.
Summary of Water Model Results The results of the water model were discussed. Following on from discussion at the last
Municipality of Meaford Minutes of Project Meeting #4 February 2, 2015
File No. 114106 Page 2
meeting concerning low pressure areas in Zone 1, Ainley had completed further analysis supplying the Zone from the Tank and confirmed that there is an 4 – 12 psi change in pressure across the zone when the pumps at the WTP are cycled off with the largest swing in the NW area. Ainley had looked at two scenarios to correct this. 1 Is to increase the size of the boosted zone through the NW area. 2 Is to operate Zone 1 as a closed zone (as St Vincent area) at a higher pressure. Since the pressure swings extend over the whole zone, increasing the Nelson Street Zone does not solve the problem for everyone. Based on this Ainley suggested that the best solution is to operate the main zone as a closed pressure system supplied by the WTP pumps 100% of the time. Adding VFD drives will also provide the opportunity to give everyone a constant pressure. Town confirmed that during the tank repainting the pressure was better with the system running off the WTP pumps and when they switched back to the tank control they again experienced pressure swings. The Town is in agreement to switch to control from the WTP. The water model will be update to reflect the recommended changes to the Nelson Street boosted zone and the operation of the WTP high lift. Action by Ainley 7.
Summary of Water Alternatives Evaluation The alternatives for the water distribution system were discussed. The main alternative Within the technical memorandum two water storage alternatives providing floating storage have been identified. One is an elevated tank and the other an in-ground tank. Although the evaluation is close the in-ground reservoir on 7 th Line South of Muir Street has been identified as the preferred solution on the basis of cost and operational safety as well as aesthetics. The Municipality will approach the property owners at the identified site prior to the PIC. Action by Municipality Action by Ainley
8.
Water Project Recommendations The priorities for the water distribution system were discussed and identified as follows: 1) Feeder main from the WTP to the Water Tower 2) Fire flow in the Nelson St. boosted zone 3) Fire flow/ Removal of 4”Cast Iron Pipes throughout the urban area The priorities identified will be reflected in the Master Plan Action by Ainley
8.
Project Assignments The assignment of water and wastewater projects to developer charges, developer costs or town costs were discussed. The Municipality preferred to discuss the separation of the projects with Darcy Chapman. Ainley provided a set of maps with future developments included for the Municipality to discuss internally and provide direction to Ainley. Action by Municipality
9.
Next Meeting The next meeting to be held will be Steering Committee # 5 and will be held at the Operations Centre – 157859 7th Line – Boardroom on February 17th 2015. Any errors and/or omissions from these Minutes should be reported to the undersigned as soon as possible.

the number of units left for the WWTP in the presentation. On page 9 put in “May 12th” as date of Notice of Completion. Put units into full form (eg. Kilowatt-hour instead of kWh) Review process description of WWTP Refer to Meaford as Urban Meaford not Town. Bighead river is one word Additional comments or corrections to the document will be sent to Ainley for review allowing a final copy of the master servicing document to be produced. Action by Municipality The municipality identified that the new phosphorus limits will result in increased sludge production and was wondering if additional digester storage is needed. Ainley will check to see if this change will result in a need for additional digester storage. Action by Municipality 3.
Developer Charges Additional projects were identified as being able to be covered by developer charges for both water and wastewater infrastructure. For water infrastructure the VFD installation, In-Ground Storage Reservoir on County Road 7 and Booster Station on Nelson Street can be partially paid for by developer charges. For the wastewater infrastructure sections of the new wastewater treatment plant and Sewage Pumping Station No. 6 can be paid for by developer charges. SPS No. 4 decommissioning is the responsibility of the developer. The water and wastewater systems will be split into zones and areas, respectively, to allow developer charges to be properly allocated. The developer charges need to include everything to full build-out. Action by Municipality
4.
Review of Drawings
The zones and areas need to be overlaid onto the drawings. There are 3 zones for the water distribution system that have already been developed based on the booster zones. For the wastewater collection system 6 catchment areas are to be developed based on the pumping station collection areas. Action by Municipality 5. Review of Draft Project Budget Tables A review of the current budget tables needs to be completed to not include development charges. A separate table should be constructed with a breakdown of the development charges. An average cost per year is not necessary for the Municipality charges. The cost breakdown chart should be put in the report to council and presented as well as placed in the executive summary. Action by Ainley 6. Review of Sites for Schedule B Projects Meaford has talked to the owner of the land for the in-ground reservoir. The reservoir will require about half a Ha of land. For the Master Plan Ainley can complete a drawing with a reservoir outline on it. Action by Ainley Different options were reviewed for the location and configuration of SPS No. 6. A site visit was conducted after the meeting to assess field conditions. It was decided that SPS No. 6 would only service Coleman Street Meaford Water and Wastewater Servicing April 15, 2015

Meaford WWTP Assimilative Capacity Study Update
1.
Introduction
The Meaford Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was constructed in 1969 to service the Municipality of Meaford and to provide treatment for hauled wastes from neighbouring areas. In 2007, a Schedule C Class Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed to address long term wastewater treatment requirements for the Municipality. It was assumed at the time of the Environmental Assessment Environmental Study Report (ESR) that the Municipality’s current population would double by 2026, thus doubling the hydraulic capacity of Meaford WWTP. In the ESR, the WWTP’s effluent limits and required treatment upgrades were determined based on this assumption. However, since the WWTP is currently operating below its rated capacity and based on the approved developments in Meaford at this time, a 20% increase in population would more likely represent future growth and future capacity requirements. The objective of this Technical Memorandum is to confirm whether the effluent limits recommended in the 2007 ESR are still suitable for the Meaford WWTP if only a 20% increase to the rated capacity, from 3,910 m3/d to 4,692 m3/d, is undertaken.

Wastewater Treatment Facility Description
2.1
Description of Facilities
Meaford WWTP is located at 35 Grant Street in the Town of Meaford, as shown on Figure 2-1 on the following page. Meaford WWTP receives raw sewage from four pumping stations in the Meaford service area. The WWTP operates as an activated sludge plant with aerobic sludge stabilization and storage and Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and is operated by the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA). The key treatment processes and operations include: • • • • • •
Raw wastewater pumping station Preliminary treatment (screening) Conventional Activated Sludge System (aeration tanks, secondary clarifiers) UV Disinfection System Outfall to Georgian Bay Aerobic Digestion with land disposal of biosolids
2.2
Wastewater Flows and Plant Treatment Capacity
The Meaford WWTP operates under Certificate of Approval #0440-6A4JXX issued by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on March 15, 2005. The current rated capacity of the plant is 3,910 m3/d, however based on OCWA’s 2011 Performance Report, the plant’s 2011 annual average daily flow was only 2,679.3 m3/d which is 68.5% of the design capacity. This was a 12% increase from flows recorded in 2010.

In light of the current flows to the plant and approved subdivisions planned for the future, it has been estimated that future plant flows will increase by 20% above the current rated capacity of 3,910 m3/d to 4,692 m3/d. In the 2007 ESR, the peaking factor was assumed to be 3.5. Also, based on the 2011 Performance Report, a maximum peak daily flow of 9,505 m3/d was recorded at the plant, which is 3.5 times the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual average daily flow in 2011. Therefore, a peaking factor of 3.5 will also be used for this report.

Receiving Water Impact Assessment
The level of impact of wastewater plant effluent on the receiving waters is based on the ability of the receiving waters to assimilate substances. Assimilative capacity is defined as “the limit of a water body to transform and/or incorporate substances (e.g. nutrients) by the ecosystem, to the point that the water quality does not degrade below a predetermined level” (MOEE, 1994a). An assessment of the capacity of the receiving waters (Georgian Bay) to assimilate 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), effluent total suspended solids (TSS), total ammonia and total phosphorous (TP) is discussed in this section.
3.1
Provincial and Federal Guidelines used to Quantify Impacts to Receiving Waters
To quantify the impact of the Meaford WWTP discharges on Georgian Bay was evaluated based on Ministry of Environment Procedure B-1-5 “Deriving Receiving Water Based Point Source Effluent Requirements for Ontario Waters” (MOE 1994a) which includes water quality objectives (called the Provincial Water Quality Objectives or PWQOs) for various water quality parameters. Other important guidance and procedural documents utilized includes: • • • • • •
Recreational Water Quality Guidelines and Aesthetics (CCME, 1998), Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality (Health Canada, 2009), Procedure F-5-1 “Determination of Treatment Requirements for Municipal and Private Sewage Treatment Works Discharging to Surface Waters”, “Derivation of Effluent Criteria for Certificates of MOE” (MOE, 1992), “Guide for Applying for Approval of Municipal and Private Water and Sewage Works” (MOE, 2000) Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life, Phosphorus: Canadian Guidance Framework for the Management of Freshwater Systems (CCME, 2004)
Both federal and provincial regulations were utilized in this assessment and therefore in the situation that a parameter had different federal and provincial criteria, the more stringent criteria were used.
3.2
Objectives of Receiving Water Assessment
The objectives of a receiving water assessment are: 1. to determine the effectiveness of the Meaford WWTP outfall and diffusers 2. to determine the representative background water quality and current velocities of Georgian Bay in the vicinity of the Meaford WWTP outfall; 3. to determine the representative effluent conditions; 4. to conduct an assessment of the assimilative capacity of the Georgian Bay receiving waters based on worst case conditions; and 5. to confirm the effluent limits for the Meaford WWTP

Previous Receiving Water Assessment at Higher Design Capacity (6,000 m3/day)
As part of the 2007 EA, a Technical Memorandum called the Evaluation of Near field Water Quality at the Outfall of the Meaford WWTP Diffuser by EarthTech was completed to address receiving water impacts for future flows of 6,000 m3/day. For this evaluation, data was gathered for the Meaford WWTP and Georgian Bay for integration into a CORMIX model to assess effluent impacts to the Bay. The background information gathered from the previous study and described in the following section will also be utilized for completing this tech memo. The results of the previous study will also be reviewed.
3.3.1
Meaford WWTP Outfall and Diffusers
The Meaford WWTP outfall consists of a 600 mm diameter concrete pipe and four (4) 450mm diffusers which discharges wastewater effluent into Georgian Bay. The outfall discharge point is located approximately 425 m from the shore and is approximately 3 km from the Meaford Water Treatment Plant Intake. As shown in Figure 3-1 below, the outfall pipe is buried below the lake bed with only the diffusers exposed above the lake bed surface. An underwater visual inspection completed by Watech Services in November 2006 as part of the 2007 EA Study found that the pipe was still under full cover and the diffusers were in good overall condition. However, the diffusers were covered in marine growth and zebra mussels and the caps were damaged or missing. Regular maintenance and removal of the remaining caps was recommended as part of the report. Figure 3-1 Meaford WWTP Outfall and Diffuser Profile (Source: Evaluation of Near field Water Quality at the Outfall of the Meaford WWTP Diffuser by EarthTech, July 2007)
Other characteristics of the outfall, diffuser and ports are summarized in Table 3-1 below. Table 3-1 Meaford WWTP Outfall and Diffuser Details (Source: Evaluation of Near field Water Quality at the Outfall of the Meaford WWTP Diffuser by EarthTech, July 2007) Parameter Value Outfall Length

Bathymetric data was also reviewed to establish circulation patterns near the outfall discharge ports. The bathymetry of Georgian Bay and local bathymetry near the outfall are shown on Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3, respectively. As discussed in the 2007 Study and shown in the figures, it is likely that the receiving waters have an unstratified water column at the diffuser ports due to the shallow shelf in that area. Furthermore, the currents will mostly occur in the central part of the Bay, where the shelf is deeper.

Georgian Bay Background Water Quality and Current Conditions
The receiving water – Georgian Bay - ambient conditions and future effluent conditions were identified and used to simulate the impact on the receiving water by using LHOPS-POM and CORMIX modeling software. High background pollutant concentrations, pH levels and temperatures (75th percentile) in the receiving water body were determined in order to assess the suitability of wastewater effluent criteria under worst case conditions. The ambient data that was reviewed included temperature, pH, and current velocities as summarized in Table 3-2. Ambient temperature values were provided by a 1974 study of Georgian Bay by E.A. Bennett (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and ambient pH values by the Ministry of the Environment. The results from the LHOPS – POM model were used to estimate current velocities in the vicinity of the Meaford WWTP outlet. All of this data was then incorporated into CORMIX to conduct an assessment of the assimilative capacity of the Georgian Bay receiving waters for a wide range of ambient and effluent conditions.

Determination of Assimilative Capacity of Georgian Bay
Various water quality parameters were assessed under the worst case conditions using CORMIX modeling software. In order to use this software, it was first necessary to determine the dilution ratio at various distances from the outfall and the shore using CORMIX 2 software. The dilution ratios at 100m and 200m are provided in the following table. Table 3-4 Dilution Ratios (Source: Evaluation of Near field Water Quality at the Outfall of the Meaford WWTP Diffuser by EarthTech, July 2007) Parameter Dilution Ratio

200m from shore (or half distance to the shore)
115:1 (median dilution) 70:1 (75th percentile dilution)
*assumed that the dilution ratio will reduce to 18:1 under winter conditions due to ice cover.
All of the parameters were then entered into CORMIX to analyze various scenarios. The study concluded that the water quality objectives set by the MOE were met for all of the key parameters tested and that objectives were met within one half of the distance to shore or 200 m from the outfall. The parameters, their respective objectives and CORMIX modeling results are shown in Table 3-5. Table 3-5 2007 ESR Modeling Results for 6,000 m3/d Parameter Objective

Evaluation of the Impact to Georgian Bay by the Newly Predicted Future Flow (4,692 m3/day)
Presented in Table 3-6 below, are the new proposed effluent criteria (concentrations and loadings), which can be discharged into Georgian Bay from the Meaford WWTP with no adverse environmental impacts on the Bay and/or shoreline. These criteria were based on those proposed in the Evaluation of Near field Water Quality at the Outfall of the Meaford WWTP Diffuser by EarthTech in 2007 for 6,000 m3/d because it is expected that the assimilative capacity model results will not worsen by lowering the effluent flows to 4,692 m3/d, but will actually improve. The only exception is the total phosphorus (TP) limit which is proposed to be 1.0 mg/L. As per the Ministry of Environment Guideline F-8 “Provision and Operation of Phosphorus Removal Facilities at Municipal, Institutional and Private Sewage Treatment Works” (April 2004), it is required that the majority of municipal wastewater treatment plants in Ontario discharge TP concentrations of a maximum 1.0 mg/L in
S:\OS\08\OS-08-134-11-OS - Meaford WWTP\Assimilative Capacity Tech Memo rev9.docx
Technical Memorandum Page 8
their effluent. As shown in the table below, despite the increase in the TP concentration limit, the mass loadings are still lower than what was originally being proposed in the 2007 ESR. This is because the lower discharge volume (4,692 m3/d) has a lesser impact on the Bay and/or shoreline. Similarly, the other effluent parameters mass loadings are reduced more than 20% from the previous effluent limits due to the lower flow rate. Since the assimilative capacity study completed in 2007 meets all MOE water quality requirements, it is expected that the proposed effluent criteria for 4,692 m3/d will also be within the lake’s assimilative capacity limit and will satisfy the MOE water quality requirements.

20 November 2006 912-01 Robin Dunn, CET, PAdm., M.A. Director of Operations Municipality of Meaford 21 Trowbridge Street West Meaford, ON N4L 1A1 Subject: Peer Review of Capacity Analysis Report for the Meaford WWTP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Final Report Dear Mr. Dunn,
Hydromantis is pleased to submit this letter report for the review of the Capacity Analysis completed by Ainley & Associates Limited and dated August 2006. Upon your review of our findings, we would be pleased to answer any questions or clarify any issues that the municipality may have. The Municipality of Meaford Official Plan projected conservative growth of between 2000 and 4000 persons to the year 2023 (Operation Department Report 2006-02), but recent monitoring showed that the growth may occur more rapidly. The Municipality is aware that it has sufficient water supply capacity, but has insufficient wastewater treatment capacity to sustain the expected growth. Thus, the Municipality embarked on a Capacity Analysis of the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and recently has invited proposals for the Class EA for the upgrade and expansion of the WWTP. In this regard, Hydromantis was retained by Meaford to provide a Peer Review of the Capacity Analysis provided by Ainley & Associates Limited. This letter report is the peer review of the Capacity Analysis. The review has focussed on the liquid processing train of the WWTP rather than the sludge train, since the sludge train is a newer process and appears to have excess capacity. In general, the WWTP is described well in the Capacity Analysis Report and in the Certificate of Approval (C of A) attached to the report. Some treatment and performance data are provided in the report, together with an analysis of unit process loadings, particularly for the biological treatment system including an activated sludge system with aeration and secondary clarification. There is no primary clarification process as usually provided in a conventional activated sludge system. This report reviews the key calculations and the unit process ratings provided for the liquid train.
Certificate of Approval (3697-62MGNC) The C of A is the legal document that states treatment requirements at the WWTP in accordance with the Ontario Water Resources Act (OWRA). Several key parameters are stated in the C of A that governs the WWTP until an amended or new C of A is obtained. Some of these are noted below. 1. Type of Wastewater Treatment Plant = High Rate Activated Sludge 1
2. Average Day Design Flow (ADF) = 3910 m3/day 3. Peak flow to be treated before bypasses occur = 11,730 m3/day 4. Sanitary sewage pumping capacity = 12,700 m3/day (147 L/s) 5. Pre-treatment screening peak flow = 8640 m3/day (100 L/s) 6. UV Disinfection peak capacity = 5720 m3/day 7. Effluent objectives and effluent limits are stated in the C of A for CBOD5, suspended solids (SS), total phosphorus, total ammonia nitrogen (freezing and non-freezing periods), and pH. Freezing period for nitrification is more stringent (this should be verified with MOE). Our experience is that seasonal ammonia limits are more stringent in warm water conditions and greater un-ionized ammonia concentration at the higher temperature and likely receiver higher pH value. Excessively high un-ionized ammonia can lead to effluent toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Unit Process Criteria Stated in Capacity Analysis Report The Capacity Analysis report provides a desktop assessment of the process unit capacities of the Meaford WWTP. In particular, the following points summarize the major liquid stream capacities of the plant expressed in the Capacity Analysis report. 1. Pre-treatment design peak flow = 9842 m3/day 2. Bypass channel rated peak flow = 9842 m3/day 3. Aeration Tank ADF = 4404 m3/day to provide 6 hours hydraulic retention time (HRT) in aeration at ADF 4. Secondary Clarifier Peak Capacity = 6874 m3/day based on peak surface overflow rate (SOR) criteria for nitrifying biological system 5. UV Disinfection peak flow = 5280 m3/day (manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specification) The report clearly states that the plant unit processes do not have the capacity to treat the C of A peak flow value of 11,730 m3/day, and we concur with this conclusion. We have additional comments regarding the biological treatment system review as described below.
Aeration Process Criteria The Capacity Analysis report provides key operational calculations for the aeration tank as summarized in Table 1. These are compared to typical design parameters for High Rate, Conventional and Extended Aeration activated sludge systems in Table 1. The Meaford WWTP is unique in that it has no primary clarifiers, shorter HRT than an extended aeration WWTP and has a nitrification requirement. Based on the C of A and Table 1, we believe that the aeration process is a major limiting factor for achieving nitrification. The Capacity Report essentially indicates the unit process as a Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS) process due to the 6-hour HRT; however, the C of A indicates it to be a High Rate Activated Sludge (HRAS) process. In this case we believe the HRAS better describes the situation, particularly for the nitrifying (ammonia removal) mandate in the C of A. Generally, a CAS system would include primary clarification in advance of secondary biological treatment and this is not the case at Meaford. 2

As seen in the above table, the Meaford WWTP key operational parameters are within the limits defining the activated sludge portion for a nitrifying CAS; however, there is no advantage obtained from primary clarification for removal of settleable organics and inerts. It is clear from the performance data (Appendix B of Capacity Analysis report) for final effluent that the plant is not always able to meet the ammonia limits under these conditions, despite providing excellent removal of the conventional parameters CBOD5 and SS. Twelve months from January 2003 to March 2006 were out-of-compliance with respect to ammonia plus ammonium nitrogen (if the C of A limits are correct). This occurs even at flows below the design ADF; however, several months are above the C of A ADF. Many Ontario plants are designed without primary clarifiers that provide nitrification, but these are usually designed as Extended Aeration Activated Sludge (EAAS) with long HRTs. The Meaford WWTP does not meet the design guidelines for this situation. Even for the CAS, Meaford is at the minimum range for F/Mv and SRT. Thus, we believe the Meaford WWTP is heavily constrained by biological capacity for nitrification. This is demonstrated by the out of compliance ammonia plus ammonium nitrogen observed compared to the C of A limits. 3
In our opinion, the WWTP should be designed with the ability to operate with SRT >>10 days and MLSS <3500 mg/L which is not likely feasible in the existing plant.
Secondary Clarifier Criteria The Capacity Analysis report provides key operational calculations for the secondary clarifiers as summarized in Table 2. These are compared to typical design parameters for Activated Sludge and Extended Aeration activated sludge systems in Table 2. The Capacity Report clearly states that the secondary clarifiers are limiting at peak flows and up to the peak design flow at which bypasses are allowed according to the C of A. We concur with this conclusion. In fact, we believe that the secondary clarifiers are likely to be more heavily overloaded in terms of SOR and SLR (solids loading rate) than suggested in the Capacity Analysis report. The Capacity Analysis report defines the SOR as the limiting factor (Appendix E) at a flow of 6874 m3/day by manipulating the MLSS concentration between 2750 and 3500 mg/L, and the return activated sludge flow rate as low as 50%. The report does state that the SLR is also potentially a constraining factor. The clarifiers are shallow (2.9 m or ~9feet) compared to most modern secondary clarifiers which are frequently designed with a tank depth of as much as 4.6 m or 15 feet and sometimes deeper. This provides better clarification and some capacity to handle higher solids loading with the buildup of an underflow sludge blanket. The Meaford clarifiers are too shallow to allow this particularly at peak flow, and unlikely to benefit by reduced recycle flow rate because of the buildup of a sludge blanket and its carry-over into the effluent at high flows. Operationally it would be difficult to reduce the MLSS concentration in a timely fashion with higher flows and then increase it after the passage of high flow. In addition, the higher MLSS is required to enhance nitrification which is a major limiting factor, but other factors also limit nitrification. Thus, we believe the SLR is more limiting than the SOR at Meaford and likely limits the clarifiers more severely than the Capacity Report states. In our opinion, with the shallow clarifiers, the recycle ratio should be kept near 100%. For nitrification, the MLSS and SRT should be as high as possible. From this standpoint the secondary clarifier hydraulic capacity is likely closer to the lower value of 3619 m3/day than the 5807 m3/day value. Under this scenario, the plant is unlikely to perform well at the peak design flow and not to the C of A peak flow before bypass is permitted. A future combination of aeration expansion and clarifier expansion should be coupled to ensure the correct ratio of these two unit processes is obtained. From a positive standpoint, the Meaford WWTP did provide nitrification to the required limits in some months and nitrates are evident in the effluent. In many months the nitrification criteria was met. In addition, the effluent SS concentration approached the design limit in a few of the months. However, as flows to the plant increase with community growth, it will continue to be more difficult to achieve nitrification and maintain the solids inventory in the plant.

Review of 2006 Process Information In November 2006, Hydromantis received and reviewed treatment plant operating data for analysis. In cold weather months (January to March) in early 2006, the plant flows were higher than the balance of the year with January and March above the C of A limit. During the cold months, the plant biomass in terms of MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) was the lowest ranging from about 1700 mg/L to 2200 mg/L from January through March. This is the most critical period for ammonia removal due to the lower wastewater temperature, and these months had the highest ammonia concentrations. Since ammonia removal is required in winter, the MLSS concentration must be higher; however, the clarification process is likely to limit the ability to raise the MLSS concentration in these winter months. This corroborates the limits commented upon regarding the criteria for F/Mv and SRT earlier in this report. In the 2006 winter period, these key parameters that are indicators of ability to remove ammonia would be at critical levels, i.e. not supportive of ammonia removal.
Ultraviolet Disinfection Based on the C of A, the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specification and the apparent problems that exist with disinfection, it is clear that the system is under-designed for the peak flow condition. We understand that the supplier may be providing perspective on this issue. Two other possible factors are the effect of leachate iron content on UV transmission and potential overtopping of 5
the system at high flows. We recommend that UV transmissivity and collimated beam tests be performed as a starting point. In addition, iron concentration of effluent during leachate input should be checked.
Digestion and Biosolids Storage We have done a cursory review of the biosolids management sections and have no comments regarding its capacity per se. One concern regarding odour control would be the degree and timing of decanting the tanks. If aeration is stopped during decanting, potential septic conditions may result in odour emanation.
Options for Optimization of the Existing System There are few options available for optimizing the existing plant. 1. One element that should be verified is the plant flow metering accuracy, although we have no information to indicate that it is incorrect. It is simply good policy to verify flow measurements, particularly when flows become critical. 2. Most importantly, the seasonal total ammonia criteria for the plant should be verified. More stringent total ammonia limits in winter are unusual, unless specific reasons are indicated. Relaxation of the winter criteria may assist with future optimization. Indications are that a possible error occurred and the seasonal criteria are mistakenly reversed in the C of A (see pages 3 and 4). 3. The potential to make use of the unused old digesters could be considered for day-by-day peak flow shaving. However, this will not assist with seasonally sustained high flows that occur over an extended time period. Peak flow shaving may assist in reduction of the peak flow rates and reduce these peak flow loadings to critical unit processes (see page 2). 4. Coagulant addition could be considered to improve clarification performance during critical periods. Overall, we recommend that the Municipality wait until initial results of the Class EA underway indicate the likely direction of the work to be done for the long term. If you have any questions, please contact us without hesitation. Sincerely, Hydromantis, Inc. Joe Stephenson, M.Eng., P.Eng. Director cc: David Free, CAO/CFO
