SUBJECT ATTF Modifications
The ATTF has been in operation for three mnths. The present facility
is operating as a three stage system with 2.5 ingd physical -chemical,
(ph 11.0-11,5) .5 mgd nitrification and n5 mgd denitrification. This mode
of operation has been effectively producing an effluent quality of

There has also been considerable work carried out in solids handling, con-
centration and separation, It has been demonstrated to date that, two stage
centrifugation can separate lime sludges from the organic sludges- Typical
annalytical data from two stage centrifugation is as follows;
1st Stag_t
Total solids recovery 65%
Organics 40%
Calcium carbonate 85%
Phosphate inerts 0%
Magnesium 30-60%
Sludges from this first stage would be suitable for recalcination and
lime enrichment through air classification Further work is 7)1anned on
digestion of SeCOEC: stage sludges.
Bdr, of Directors

The operation of the ATTF has indicated the desirability for the
following modifications
(1)
Increase nitrification process
(2) Miodity denitrification system for increase
flaw from .5 of 1 mgd and improved nitrogen gas
stri2ping
(3)
$2000.00
5,100.00
Provide electrical modifications for additional
centrifuges 800,00
(4) Iustrumentation, flow measurement and process
control 2,700.00
(5) Miscellaneous material and supplies $00.00
$11,400.00
Tax 570.00
Total . $11,970.00
These modifications will enable the development of further design criteria,
through higher ioadiags in the ATTF Biological processes and increased solids
work.
It is requested that the sum of $12,000„00 be authorticed rwit the, sewer con-
struction fund to carry out the above work,

SUBJECT: Report of Alameda County Comprehensive Health Planning
Council Workshop Meeting on Saturday, February 26, 1972.
1. The undersigned attended subject meeting as an observer. Two members of
the District Advisory Committee on Solid Waste Recycling (Mr. Robert Grinstead
and Mrs. Kris Hiller) also attended.
2. The workshop meeting was advertised to the public for the purpose of pre-
senting
re -senting four regional plans for solid waste management for consideration by
the Alameda Health Planning Council who in turn would make recommendation to
the County as to which plan to adopt.
3. Attendance at the meeting approximated 120 persons.
4. Mr. Leonard Steffanelli, Public Affairs Officer, California Refuse Removal
Council and also President of Sunset Scavenger Company, San Francisco, reported
for private enterprise. He indicated that the Refuse Council supported a re-
gional cnncept for the Bay Area on solid waste management, but emphasized that
private enterprise desired full participation with government in any approach
to be adopted. Mr. Steffanelli stated private enterprise had been doing a
satisfactory job in the Bay Area and that it had the financial resources to
develop additional facilities if required. He further indicated that sanitary
landfill was the most practical method for disposal of solid waste and that
it will be with us for the foreseeable future. Mr. Steffanelli stated that
four major disposal sites were available in the Bay Area (San Mateo, Alameda,
Acme Fill and Napa) and that these sites could handle Bay Area solid waste for
the next 150 years. Lastly, he stated that the most economical method for
disposal and to exploit the potentials of recycling was to concentrate solid
waste in large masses.
5. Mr. Peter Vardy, Consulting Engineer to Kaiser Sand and Gravel, reported
on a regional plan to dispose of Bay Area solid waste near Livermore in a
775 acre site. Mr. Vardy estimated that 50 million tons of refuse coilld be
absorbed in the Kaiser site and would have a 45-80 year capacity. Mr. Vardy
indicated that any regional plan must be: Economical, technically feasible,
and politically and socially acceptable. The latter point is the most difficult
to overcome.

6. Mr. John H. Plumb, Secretary, E. B. M. U. D. reported on the E. B. M. U. D.
Solid Waste Committee Report. Mr. Plumb did not present a regional plan for
disposal of solid waste. Rather, Mr. Plumb focussed on E. B. M. U. D. being the
agency responsible for administering a regional plan. Mr. Plumb indicated that
the Board of E. B. M. U. D. desired public response on the question of whether
E. B. M. U. D. should go into solid waste disposal. In fact, he encouraged the
public to respond either by letter to the E. B. M. U. D. Board or by attending
its meetings. Mr. Plumb stressed that only E. B. M. U. D. has the authority
to manage a regional plan involving Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
7. Mr. Hans A. Feibusch, President, Environmental Impace Planning Corporation
and a Commissioner on BCDC presented the details of the SPUR report for regional
disposal of solid waste to the islands of the delta. Mr. Feibusch indicated a
100 ton demonstration program to determine the feasibility of the SPUR plan would
require 3 years.
8. Senator Nicholas Petri joined the meeting and made a presentation on his
senate bill calling for development of a 100 year land use plan. In fact, his
presentation was oriented to generate public support for his bill.
9. Supervisor Fred Cooper, Alameda, addressed the meeting and indicated Federal
and State governments should take action to generate markets for recycling of
solid waste. Mr. Cooper indicated his support and interest in the problems the
people in the audience were addressing.
10. It appeared to the undersigned that subject meeting was primarily oriented
toward eliciting public response.
Respectfully submitted,
E. K. Davis, Secretary
