General Manager Roger S. Bailey explained that the CWMP Workshop was an
opportunity for the Board to provide feedback on some of the issues that staff and
the District's consultants have been working on, including consideration by the
Board of two potential policy issues regarding an energy policy and a policy
concerning private sewer laterals.
a. Treatment Plant Master Plan Update
Director of Engineering and Technical Services Jean-Marc Petit said that staff
and the consultants have worked closely together over the past year to
develop the key findings and recommendations set forth in the agenda
materials. Based on the Board's feedback during the workshop, staff should
be able to have a better defined Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the
November CWMP Workshop. Mr. Petit then presented the PowerPoint
included with the agenda materials focusing on the issues set forth below:
• Master Plan Drivers and Goals
Mr. Petit presented the four main drivers impacting the treatment plant.
1. Aging infrastructure
2. Capacity
3. Regulatory
4. Sustainability, resiliency and energy
He also explained that the CWMP goals and associated levels of
service discussed by the Board last December were used as a
reference when evaluating alternatives.
• Key Findings and Preliminary Recommendations
Key Finding #1 —Aging Infrastructure
The CWMP will include replacement of aging assets over the next 20
years. Asset replacement for the next 10 years will be included as part
of the updated 10-Year CIP that will be presented at the November
workshop. The CWMP team noted the overall condition of concrete in
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 7
the treatment plant appeared to be good and that District staff have
done a good job of maintaining existing facilities and equipment.
Member Williams asked if analyses have been made to address flow
disruptions in the aftermath of an earthquake.
Member Causey suggested a contingency plan be developed for solids
handling and especially for the multiple hearth furnaces.
Key Findinq #2— Site Constraints
After a discussion on options for addressing contaminated soil on parts
of the plant site, Member Causey suggested contacting the
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DISC) prior to the
November workshop. He also wondered if using contaminated soil to
raise the level of Basin A might eliminate the need for higher levees.
Staff will contact DTSC to confirm their previous guidance that on-site
consolidation was preferred, but did not think the use of contaminated
soils for the levees or flood protection would be feasible.
Member Pilecki suggested it may be prudent to proceed with this
project in the near future to avoid rising costs and potential changes in
regulations.
Member Williams noted that it may make more sense to adjust the
timing of this project to make sure that the land is indeed required for
future treatment processes to avoid unnecessary cost to the District.
Overall, the Board was in agreement with the recommendations to
leave the material on site, and to include Alternative A — On-Site
Consolidation in the CWMP. Staff will re-evaluate the timing of this
project for the updated 10-Year CIP to be presented at the November
workshop.
Key Findinq #3— Liquid Stream Capacity Limitations
The following projected year 2035 flows have been used in the CWMP:
Average Dry Weather Flow was estimated at 41 million gallons per day
(mgd); Maximum Month Wet Weather Flow was estimated at 74 mgd;
and the Peak Hourly Wet Weather Flow was currently estimated at 270
mgd pending the results of the calibrated collection system dynamic
InfoWorks model.
Mr. Petit indicated that there were no average dry flow capacity
limitations for the projected 41 mgd that required capital improvements.
However, some capital improvements will be required to address the
projected Maximum Month Wet Weather Flow and the Peak Hourly
Wet Weather Flow.
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 8
Member Causey inquired about peak hourly wet weather flows, asking
for the basis of the 20-year event. Mr. Petit indicated that a 20-year
event (i.e. 5 percent chance that the flow would occur each year) has
been the District standard for planning and design. Due to changes in
service area growth assumptions, reduced per capita water usage,
more available historical rainfall data, and updated I/I (Infiltration and
Inflow) information for the District's collection system, the 20-year peak
hourly wet weather flow has decreased significantly over the last 30
years (from 400 mgd in the 1980s to 270 mgd for the CWMP.
Member Causey requested additional information on the design criteria
for the peak hourly wet weather flow as he felt that some of the
assumptions may be too conservative and may make these flows
unreasonable. Mr. Bailey said staff will explore criteria used by other
Bay Area agencies for wet weather management for both treatment
plants and collection systems and will bring the topic back for
discussion at a future Board meeting.
Key Findinq#4 — Impact of Future Regulations Identified in the CWMP
Mr. Petit provided a high-level overview of potential future regulations
that could impact the District and described the regulatory impact on
the CWMP. The CWMP will rely on the Bay Area Clean Water
Agencies (BACWA) Nutrient Optimization/Upgrade Scoping and
Evaluation Plan for potential future nutrient limits; will comply with any
future virus-based design criteria required for the design of future
Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection facilities; will plan for liquids and solids
alternatives that are able to maintain the District's greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions below the Califomia Air Resources Board Cap And
Trade Threshold Value of 25,000 Metric Tons CO2/year; will plan for
future air emission requirements regarding the use of incinerators; and
will plan for Class A Biosolids when evaluating solids handling
alternatives that require land application for biosolids disposal. Overall,
the Board was in agreement with the recommendations.
Key Finding #5— Nutrient Removal Potential Regulations and
Recycled Water Demands Nexus
Mr. Petit provided a high-level overview describing the impact of
potential nutrient regulations and also presented potential recycled
water opportunities and their respective possible water quality
requirements. Most of the demand for recycled water would possibly
require nutrient removal and some level of reverse osmosis. He
explained the nexus between nutrient removal and recycled water
drivers and the CWMP Goals (meet future regulatory requirements and
evaluate how the District could reach zero discharge and maximize
use of recycled water).
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 9
Member McGill said it is his understanding that canal water is
becoming more and more salty and he asked staff to look into that.
President Pilecki said he would be interested in receiving more
information from staff on the impact of solids alternatives (S-1, S-2,
and S-3) on the two remaining liquid treatment alternatives (L-1
and L 2). Mr. Petit referred the Board Members to attachments
included in the additional information package summarizing information
for each of the solids and liquid alternatives. Liquid Alternatives L-1
and L-2 were discussed as part of Key Findings #5. Solids options
were discussed in more detail under Key Findings #6.
Mr. Petit said that Liquid Alternative L-2, which has higher estimated
costs, was recommended because of its modular nature that provides
the District a more flexible approach given uncertainties regarding the
timing of nutrient removal and the timing and quantity of recycled water
demands.
Member Williams said it should be kept in mind that there is a lot of
uncertainty surrounding nutrient removal. If nutrient removal is not
implemented for a number of years, more knowledge will have been
gathered, nutrient removal requirements may change or not be
required, and newer technologies may become available. Mr. Petit
explained that staff has and will continue to track the development of
innovative technologies and implement pilot projects to continue to
explore and refine alternatives that look promising for the District.
However, for planning purposes, proven technologies must be included
in the CWMP as placeholders to ensure the District has a plan that
uses a proven approach that will meet the potential future nutrient
limits and fits within existing site constraints.
Member McGill asked about the cost of reverse osmosis versus the
cost of constructing a pipeline to Delta Mendota Canal. Senior
Engineer Dan Frost said that District staff could provide that
information at a later Board meeting. The cost of the pipeline was
previously presented in the RMC Water& Environment's Recycled
Water Wholesale Opportunities Study.
President Pilecki said he is averse to refurbishing the filters because
previous attempts have been less successful than planned. He
suggested other options be explored such as tertiary membranes.
Mr. Petit indicated that tertiary membranes have been evaluated in the
CWMP but they require higher capital and operations and maintenance
(O&M) costs. The CWMP recommends refurbishing the existing filters
with new equipment and media for Title 22 customers. However,
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 10
tertiary membrane technologies are being included to address future
recycled water demands such as the refineries that have higher quality
recycled water requirements that the existing filters cannot meet.
Overall, the Board was in agreement with the recommendations to
include Liquid Alternative L-2 as part of the CWMP and to continue the
pilot testing program to identify and evaluate liquid treatment
alternatives for nutrient removal which could prove to be more
economical and more energy efficient.
Key Findinq #6— Need for Developinq a Plan for Replacement of
Multiple Hearth Furnaces
Mr. Petit presented several drivers that justify the need to develop a
plan for starting replacement of the existing multiple hearth furnaces
within the 20-year planning window of the CWMP.
Mr. Petit briefly presented the three Solids Handling Alternatives S-1,
S-2 and S-3. Mr. Petit again referred the Board Members to
attachments included in the additional information package describing
each alternative.
He also said that Solids Alternative S-2 (fluidized bed incineration
followed by anaerobic digestion) will be recommended in the CWMP
because it has the lowest capital and net present value cost, requires
less energy than the current systems, produces fewer GHG emissions,
does not require biosolids disposal and development of a biosolids
marketing program, provides an opportunity for improving the District's
energy profile using cogeneration and waste heat-to-energy, and
provides multiple solids disposal options providing a more reliable
long-term solids handling approach.
In response to an inquiry from Member Causey about potential
damage to the multiple hearth furnaces in the event of an earthquake,
it was noted that a report will be made to the Board in the future
addressing the District's Emergency Operations Plan and Business
Continuity Plan.
Member Williams noted that the comparative costs for the three
alternatives relate solely to capital costs. Before any final decisions
are made, he said it is important to consider O&M costs and ongoing
energy improvements associated with the various alternatives.
Mr. Petit stated that capital costs, O&M costs, net present value costs,
and energy requirements were provided for all three solids alternatives
in the additional information provided in the Board packet. Alternative
S-2 was selected as the preferred alternative after considering costs
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 11
and energy. Additional information regarding the energy profile of
each alternative was also included under the discussion of Item 12.c.1)
regarding a potential energy policy.
Overall, the Board was in agreement with the recommendations to
include developing a plan to replace the multiple hearth furnaces within
the CWMP planning period, to assume Solids Alternative S-2 for the
future CIP development, and to continue the applied research/pilot
program to identify and evaluate other solids handling alternatives,
such as pyrolysis or gasification, which could potentially be more
economical and more energy efficient.
Key Finding #7— Energy Improvements for Ultraviolet (UV)
Disinfection and Steam Blower Systems
Mr. Petit noted that the CWMP includes recommendations to replace
the existing UV disinfection system with a more energy efficient and
more modern system. He also stated that the CWMP recommends
converting from a waste heat-to-steam system to a waste heat-to-
electric power system that will be more energy efficient. It further
recommends replacing the steam-driven aeration system with a more
reliable and energy efficient electric blower system. Mr. Petit explained
that the current steam system has resulted in direct links between the
liquid treatment process and solids handling and energy processes. If
disruptions occur in any one process, they can have a ripple effect on
the treatment plant. The recommended approach will improve overall
reliability.
Overall, the Board was in agreement with the two energy
improvements for the future CIP development.
Key Findinq #8— Net Zero Energy Goals Requires Import of Carbon
and Alternative Renewable Energy Sources
This material was covered during the discussion of Item 12.c.2).
• Master Plan Recommendations for the Plant of the Future
Mr. Petit presented a draft treatment plant site plan showing potential
projects that would be recommended in the CWMP for the next 20-plus
years, and that will be the basis for developing an update to the
District's CIP. Potential improvements were shown on a site map,
reflecting approximate locations, footprint requirements, and noting the
main CIP driver that justifies the proposed improvements.
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 12
• Preliminary Updated Capital Improvement Program Costs —Treatment
Plant Only
Mr. Petit presented a preliminary, high-level update of the CIP for the
treatment plant program. Member Causey said he would like
information on the replacement rate of assets for both the treatment
plant and the collection system because he is concerned that the
needs of the District's aging infrastructure may be underestimated and
he does not want the District to be in a position of having to do reactive
replacement of assets, which generally costs more. Mr. Petit stated
that this proposed CIP is for the treatment plant only.
Mr. Bailey stated that the treatment plant asset replacement is based
on the condition assessments, and other work that the CWMP team
and experts have developed over the past year. A separate CIP is
being developed for the collection system and will be presented at a
future Board meeting/workshop. Member Williams stated that he felt
that the treatment plant CIP for asset replacement currently being
shown at over$400 million (in 2016 dollars) for the next 20 years
seemed reasonable knowing that the total treatment plant assets are
currently valued at about $750 million.
A more detailed CIP update will be presented to the Board at a
workshop in November 2016.
• Next Steps
Member Causey suggested that another workshop be held before
November regarding design criteria for both the treatment plant and
the collection system, and some of the risks. In his opinion, the District
has over-sized its collection system pipes.
In the interest of time, Mr. Petit said Item 12.b. on the collection system
will be postponed to the next CWMP Workshop.
b. Collection System Master Plan Update
Discussion of Item 12.b. was tabled to the next CWMP Workshop.
C. New Board Policies Discussions and Considerations
1) Consider new Board Policy on energy
Mr. Frost presented the PowerPoint included with the agenda
materials, stating that it was staffs recommendation to develop a net
zero energy policy for the treatment plant defined as follows:
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 13
'A Net Zero Energy Plant of the Future for the
District's wastewater treatment plant campus would
use enough renewable energy to meet its own annual
energy consumption requirements."
Mr. Frost showed both the current energy and electrical demand for
the existing plant, then showed future demands for the proposed
recommend Liquid Alternative L-2, and then compared the three solids
alternatives previously presented.
Mr. Frost also showed several strategies for striving towards net zero
energy in the future, including co-digestion, solar power, and wind
power. He then presented the possible energy and power offset for
each solids alternative. These examples showed that reaching net zero
energy to meet the treatment plant's future energy demand appears to
be feasible, especially for alternatives that include anaerobic digestion.
Mr. Frost said that it is likely that a combination of co-digestion with
alternative energy would be required to achieve net zero energy for
future treatment plant and recycled water energy demands. Mr. Frost
noted that it would be very difficult to achieve net zero energy for all
future energy demands if those energy demands included a 20-mgd
recycled water project using reverse osmosis.
Member Causey asked if staff had evaluated alternatives to reach net
zero energy on the current operation, and if solar was being
considered. Member Causey also asked if staff knew the size and the
power being generated at West County. Mr. Frost said the West
County solar project was a 1-megawatt power purchase agreement.
President Pilecki inquired about the viability of using wind energy.
Mr. Frost said the District's CWMP consultant, CH2M, looked at wind
viability and their preliminary findings were that it appears viable, which
was different from previous District reports. The CWMP team will confirm
the viability of wind power prior to finalizing its recommendations.
Member Causey requested that copies of the previous wind study be
provided to the Board Members.
When asked if the Board Members wanted staff to develop a policy on
energy, it was the general consensus of the Board to proceed with a
draft policy using the following guidelines:
a) Use the following Net Zero Energy definition as the guideline for
developing an Energy policy.
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARYDISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 14
'A Net Zero Energy Plant of the Future for the
District's wastewater treatment plant campus
would use enough renewable energy to meet its
own annual energy consumption requirements."
b) Include a program for co-digestion of high-strength waste (e.g.
FOG (fats, oils and grease) or other high-strength industrial
wastes), if anaerobic digestion is implemented in the District's
future.
c) Further explore the feasibility of renewable energy (e.g. solar
and/or wind).
d) As projects arise, staff should make recommendations as to
whether energy projects should be District-owned versus using
power purchase agreements.
e) Define a time period for achieving Net Zero Energy to the extent
that it is financially viable.
Staff should make a recommendation as to what is an
acceptable payback period for projects that require capital
investment and recommendations for acceptable economic
benefits for power purchase agreements.
Once the Energy policy is drafted, it was agreed that the General
Manager may decide whether or not to have the draft policy reviewed
by the Administration Committee prior to presenting it to the full Board.
2) Consider new Board Policy on private sewer laterals
Assistant Engineer Justin Waples presented an introduction to private
sewer laterals.
The question of responsibility of ownership of the private sewer laterals
was briefly discussed. Member McGill favored maintaining the status
quo unless problems develop that would require a change to the
District's current approach.
Member Williams noted that the private sewer laterals in the District's
service area are deteriorating over time and likely experiencing
increasing infiltration issues similar to other agencies. For this reason,
he was willing to look into the matter.
Member Causey agreed with Member Williams, stating that at a
minimum he would be open to Option A, which would implement an
ordinance requiring lateral inspection/repair/replacement upon sale of
property, major renovation, and/or change in water meter size. He said
it should be recognized that homeowners have a responsibility for their
private sewer laterals, and that it is important for the District to
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
June 16, 2016 Special Board Meeting Minutes-Page 15
demonstrate that it is concerned about potential issues that may arise
from their deteriorating private sewer laterals.
President Pilecki said that he was inclined to agree with Member
McGill but noted that further discussion with the full Board was
warranted for this matter. This item will be discussed in more detail at
the next CWMP workshop.
BOARD ACTION: Held CWMP Workshop and provided input to staff.
