Introduction
At tonight's workshop, staff would like to make a brief presentation on the Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWIP) Master Plan implementation that has been ongoing for a couple of
years.
Discussion
At the workshop, Bill Chang and John Stewart of BDM Consulting Engineers will have a
PowerPoint presentation on the WW1P Master Plan Implementation. Bill and John have been
the engineers working on the Elk River Wastewater Treatment Plant since the mid-1980's. The
Phase I Improvement Project begun a couple of years ago, is now complete. It included the
expansion of the head works portion of the WW1P. It is now time to consider beginning the
Phase II Improvement, which will add a mercwy reduction component to the WW1P and
expand the ultraviolet treatment system for the ultimate flow at the WW1P. In addition, Phase II
Improvements will also add emergency generation capabilities.
Financial Impact
It is estimated that the Phase II Improvement will cost approximately $4 million dollars. A more
detailed estimate will be prepared in the preliminary design phase.
