Fa ci Ii ty Plan Goals and Objectives
,
- Determine what plant upgrades are needed to achieve present and future wastewater treatment discharge requirements - Evaluate adequacy of existing plant processes, equipment and structures and make recommendations for improvements - Ensure that the sewage disposal and growth needs of the Town are met for present and future flows and pollutant loadings • 20-year planning period
- Two-phase approach • Phase 1 (Fast Tack): Phosphorus removal and related equipment • Phase 2: Assessment of remaining plant processes and Nitrogen removal improvements

Phase 1 - Phosphorus Treatment Evaluation -
-
- Performed piloting to determine most effective phosphorus treatment option - Reviewed existing unit processes to determine effect on them with the addition of tertiary phosphorus treatment -Also reviewed additional processes and tankage needed for consistent operation. Includes: • Fine screening • Multi-point chemical addition • Secondary pump station • Electrical/SCADA upgrades • Gravity thickener improvements • Return Activated Sludge (RAS) pumps • Anaerobic tank with mixers • Secondary settling tank addition with launder covers
- Included relocation of the UV and Post Aeration system as part of the project to replace aging equipment and address current flooding issues - Miscellaneous piping and site modifications 5

Schedule for Phase 1 - Phosphorus Removal - -
--
----
-
- December 15, 2017 • Retain a consultant to prepare the study, design and oversight necessary to achieve phosphorus limits set in the NPDES permit - October 31, 2018 • Submit Engineering Report
- July 1, 2019 • Enter into a construction contract to be eligible for 50% project grant for phosphorus removal costs (design and construction)
- April 1, 2020 (No later than) • Begin construction of the phosphorus removal project
- April 1, 2022 • Com lete hos horus treatment construction project such that the treatment process is fully operational and effluent meets new phosphorus effluent requirements 7

Phase 2 Project -WPCF Evaluation - Reviewed all existing treatment plant processes and structures - Detailed evaluation of solids handling needs - Performed process modeling to evaluate potential improvements to nitrogen and biological phosphorus removal - Building evaluation • Laboratory improvements • Administration, Personnel and other building improvements • HVAC and lighting systems
- General plant upgrades • Equipment (tank mechanisms, RBC improvements, obsolete equipment replacement)
- Communications, security, fire alarm - Electrical and instrumentation/SCADA 8

Phase 2 - Conclusions - Solids handling systems at the end of their useful life • Anaerobic digestion as currently practiced not cost effective • Storage for sludge needed. Reuse two digester tanks for storage and provide new covers • Replace 1988 vintage dewatering facilities with screw presses. Likely to improve solids capture and reduce operating costs • Building and structures upgrades (electrical, ventilation) necessary to meet building code and process needs • Replace sludge pumping and polymer systems
- Modeling shows additional TN removal possible and better biological phosphorus removal if primary tanks bypassed • Added fine screens to Phase 1 project to capture fine solids that will affect RBC • Provide ability to bypass primary tanks 9
A:COM
Phase 2 - Conclusions (continued)
,
- Expand Administration Building to include additional lab space • Lab undersized based on current standards • Lab used for both Sewer and Water Divisions operation and compliance testing • Include additional lab equipment and workspace
- Upgrade Administration Building • Windows and exterior upgrades • Interior facilities_(HVAC, lighting, coatings, restrooms)
- Personnel and other buildings • Locker rooms, finishes, and lighting improvements • Security systems lacking • In-plant communications spotty and needs upgrading • Heat and ventilation improvements • Fire alarm replacement and upgrade to code 10

Phase 2 - Conclusions (continued) -
-
- General Plant Process Upgrades • Existing electrical distribution systems in need of replacement o Motor control centers outdated and parts hard to get o Improve SCADA at the time of new equipment installation
• Grit system updates - aging and deteriorated equipment (future annual capital project) • Primary tank mechanism replacement • RBC structure repair (future annual capital project) o Concrete damage from water intrusion and/or differential expansion
• Secondary settling tank mechanism replacement • Miscellaneous site improvements o Storm drainage to alleviate floodin o Repaving where needed

Phase 1 Project Contingency -
--
-
- Project Contingency is a cushion provided to: • Include project unknowns • Address current bid climate (multiple projects bidding at the same time) • Capture current wage and material inflation expectations • Address EPA/DEEP requirements for US iron and steel purchases • Address lack of float in the schedule o Avoiding a situation of being unable to execute an agreement before the July 1, 2019 deadline and missing out on 50% grant funding
