The system shall be capable of treating the daily wastewater flow with the following maximum influent characteristics Raw Influent Effluent Design flow (gpd) 50,000 50,000 BODS (mg/L) 250 10 TSS (mg/L) 250 <5 TKN (mg/L) 40 NA NH3-N (mgiL) 35 <5 Fecal Coliform ‘TNTC <1000 col/100 mis Oil & Grease (mg/L) - <10 pH 6.0-9.0 6.0-9.0 Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L) - 35 The following unit processes are proposed to meet the effluent requirements: 1) (1) 10 mm automated mechanical bar screen. 2) (1) 10,000 gallon flow equalization tank and assembly. 3) (2) 9000 gallon aerobic zones (BOD removal and nitrification). 4) (2) 10° square hopper bottom secondary clarifiers. 5) (2) 36” diameter tertiary sand filters, 6) (1) Parallel UV disinfection units 7) Chemical feed assemblies as required (defoamer/alkalinity) 1 11/24/2009 Proprietary & Confidential PRIMARY REATMENT Screening: Primary treatment shall include an automated mechanical bar screen assembly that shall be contained in a steel enclosure and located prior to the flow equalization tank. Wastewater shall pass through the stainless steel screening apertures where solids shall be retained, The screen apertures shall have clear openings of 10 mm (3/8"), A stainless steel raking mechanism shall remove the collected solids from the screen bars and transport them to a stainless steel screenings collection basket. The screen enclosure shall contain a coarse bar screen bypass in the event of a mechanical failure. The screen enclosure shall contain a high level float switch that shall energize an audio/visual alarm in the event of a mechanical failure. Flow Equalization: Screened wastewater shall overflow into the flow equalization tank (FET). The FET system shall be a 10,000 gallon steel tank located ahead of the biological treatment reactors, The following equipment shall be included in this tank: (2) Barnes SE submersible sewage pumps with slide rails, associated piping, controls and appurtenances. The two alternating submersible pumps shall transfer the screened wastewater to the biological reactor over 24 hours The equalization pumps shall alternate between dosing cycles. If one pump fails, the remaining pump will take over the failed pump’s cycle and an audio/visual alarm will be energized. Four control float switches shall be located in the FET and shall govern the following pump functions 1) Low level Alarm float: The low level alarm float will act as a redundant pump shut off and will activate an audio/visual alarm signal when the float switch is in the extended position (open circuit) 2) Low level float: In the extended position this float switch shall create an open circuit and prevent operation of the pumps. When the circuit is closed the float switch shall alfow activation of the timer and the pumps shall altemate between cycles, transferring wastewater to the downstream treatment reactor(s) 3) Mid level float: Upon closure the mid level float switch shall activate the lag pump and the two pumps shall draw dowa the liquid in the equalization tank until the mid level float is an open. Upon this occurrence, a counter shall be triggered to alert the operator that a high level condition has occusved and that the timer “on” setting may need adjusting. 4) High level float: The high level float switch shall activate the audio/visual alarm when the circuit is closed Additionally a low level “shut off” float switch shall be provided for the submersible aspirator 11/2472009 Proprietary & Confidential BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT REACTOR (Aerobie Zones) Biological Treatnent Plant Process Description: Biological treatment shall consist of two 9000 gallon aerobic zones that shall consist of moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs). The MBBRs (figure 1) zones shall incorporate AquaCell high density polyethylene fluidized media in the aerobic basins. The concept of AquaCell media was developed by the Canadian Government in 1994, The design's main objective was to provide a media that would increase and provide stable nitrification in existing cold climate wastewater treatment plants. The AquaCell media within each aerobic zone provides a stable base for the growth of a diverse biofilm community. ‘The neuirally buoyant media has a void ratio of >95%, is UV resistant and resistant to a wide range of aqueous solutions, acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, oils, fats and alcohols. The media has a very high surface-to-volume ratio (466 m*/m’ — protected internal surface area), allowing for a high concentration of microorganisms to thrive within the internally protected areas and significant void space to eliminate plugging and allow for the transfer of nutrients to the biofilm. Biomass density testing has shown that the biofilm contains an equivalent MLSS concentration of 250-5000 mg/L (which is dependent on the organic loading rate to the system). The biomass that detaches from the media will remain suspended within the reactor, and is continuously removed from the process with the exiting flow stream, Figure 1: Typical aerobic MBBR zone 3 11/24/2009 Proprietary & Confidential ‘The reactor proposed for this application shall be contained in a pre fabricated and pr carbon steel reactor that shall contain a flow equalization tank, a sludge digester, two stage aerobic MBBR that shall be contained in a pre-fabricated and pre-assembled steel tank Additionally, the system shall be followed by tertiary filtration and UV disinfection. ss Figure 2: Staged carbon ste! reactor required with 2-stage acrobic MBBR to effluent limits EFF Flow Equalization Tank / Sludge / Aerobic MBBRs —/ Secondary Digester Clarifer A 2-stage compartmentalized aerobic fixed film reactor provides the following edvantagi 1) The media surface loading rates establishes a diverse microbiological community of select trophic levels that efficiently accomplish treatment goals (i.e. predominately bacteria in the 1° compartment, and protozoa, metazoa and nitrifying bacteria in the 2" compartment). This segregation of microorganisms maximizes pollutant removal rates, 2) Reduces bacteria and nitrifier inhibition as the biofilm in the first stage contains hardier more tolerant heterotrophic microorganisms that will adsorb the toxic compounds. Additionally, the fixed film microorganisms are resilient to toxic shock since the process will slough off the outer layer of dead bacteria and continue to produce bacteria to meet the organic load. 3) Reduces overall sludge production due to the higher forms of microbial life contained in the 2° treatment compartments. These multi-cellular microorganisms are capable of digesting biomass and sludge mineralization. KEY MBBR COMPONENTS: Aeration Grids: Schedule 80 CPVC coarse bubble aeration assemblies shall be designed to completely mix the 4 11/24/2009 Proprietary & Confidential AquaCell media and ensure that the oxygen transfer requirements are met for biological oxidation. Key Features of the diffuser assemblies include: 1) All submerged piping is Schedule 80 CPVC. 2). Diffuser aperture diameter will ensure that that the overall pressure drop ranges from 5” ~ 5° of water for uniform air distribution. 3) Largest possible diffuser hole size will be selected to minimize fouling and maintain appropriate bubble size (typical hole size <3/16") 4) The diffuser holes are located on the bottom of diffuser pipe 5) Diffuser holes are offset 45° from vertical Media Retention Screens: Each aerobic treatment compartment shall contain a 8” diameter, 36” long, 304 stainless steel flange mounted wedgewire media retention effluent screen, The screens have a very high open area (75%) that provides adequate flow through capacity. The screen surface is constantly scoured by the biomass carriers. The flange mounted wedge wire screens have slot openings of approximately 3/8” (10 mm). The large size of AquaCell media enable large screen openings to be implemented, resulting in minimal head loss and a reduced tendency to foul Figure 3: Flange Mounted Media Retaining Screens BIOLOGICAL REACTOR SIZING CALCULATIONS & SUPPORTING DAT, Aerobie Biological Treatment: Two parallel trains of aerobic treatment reactors shall be constructed utilizing epoxy coated 11/24"2009 Proprietary & Confidential carbon steel and tread plate covers, Each aerobic MBBR reactor shall have a volume of 9000 gallons. There will be a media fill fraction of 55% in the two MBBR compartments, that shall have a maximum fill fraction of 67%. Therefore the treatment system capacity can be increased by adding media to the reactors. As wastewater enters each of the 9000 gallon aerobic treatment compartments, dissolved oxygen is transferred to the wastewater via a positive displacement rotary air blower and a coarse bubble air diffuser system. Each compartment shall have an independent and fully adjustable butterfly valve to regulate the air flow and mixing intensity. Pollutant Loading Rate and Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT): Organic (BODS) and Reactor Hydraulic Retention Times (HRT’s): The organic and ammonia-N loading rates to the MBBR’s are based on the design criteria listed on page one of this document. Each aerobic MBBR has a 9000 gallon volume with the following characteristics Table 1: Reactor Volumes and Hydraulic Retention Times Compartment/ Total” | Media Volunie per | Tateraal Media| Hydraulic Retention Liquid Volume compartment Specific Surface Time (hours) (gallons) (m’) Area (m?/m')/ total | - | surface | | TFET (10,000) NA [ NA 2 — Aerobic MBBR 19 466 7 8854 (9000) 3 — Aerobic MBBR 19 46678854] a3 ( (9000) _ at = 4 - Sludge Holding NA NA | NA (6500) . \ The BODS media surface loading rates are based upon conservative removal rates at 20°C. The pollutant surface loading rates and removal rates for this design are corrected for a minimum wastewater temperature of 13 °C using the Van't Hoff-Arrhenius relationship and incorporating the applicable coefficient, (theta). As a result of the winter wastewater temperature, the surface loading rates and pollutant removal rates are reduced by approximately % the removal rates at 20 °C, and hence govern the design of the system. Verification of the selected surface loading rates are confirmed by the data and technical literature summarized at the conclusion of this document. @20°C @i3c. | day) ff Pollutant media surface load rates (grams/m’. BOD TKN 067d BODS load (50,000 gpd x 8.34 Ibs./gal x 250 mg/L) = 104.3 Ibs. of BODs/day 1x10° 6 1172472009 Proprietary & Confidential TKN loading: TKN: Note that approximately 9.5 mg/L TKN will be removed with the microorganisms (sludge) that achieve BODS removal and denitrification. This is based on the fact that (0.12 grams of Ng TSS) are contained in each gram of active biomass (Metcalf & Eddy). = (50,000 gpd x 8.34 Ibs./gal x 3] mg/L) = 13.0 Ibs. of BODs/day 1x10° ‘Therefore the AquaCell media required to achieve >95% BODS removal: = (104.3 Ibs BOD/day *454 grams/Ibs) = 47,3: 47,352 (grams BOD/day) / 9.16 (grams BOD/m*/day)) = 5169 m* of AquaCell media 5169 m°/466 mim? = 11.1 m* And the media required to achieve 95% ammonia-N removal = (13.0 Ibs/day *454 grams/lis) = 5902 (grams TKN/day) 5902 (grams TKN/day) / 0.67 (grams TKN/m’/day)) ~ 8809 m? of AquaCell media 8809 m°/466 m*/m* = 19.0 m* Therefore, the total media surface area required to achieve BOD removal and nitrification; = 30.1 m* AND; 19 m of AquaCell media are being supplied in each MBBR (total media volume is 38 m’), Therefore >95% BOD removal and ammonia oxidation will occur through the I" and 2"! aerobic compartments. This is based on actual field installations and the references listed below, ART in each aerobic MBBR: = (9000 gallons / (50,000 gallons/day) * 24=4.3 hours Therefore; to the total HRT through two aerobic MBBR’s = 8.6 hours The HRT conforms to the HRT’s listed in the references below. Verification of pollutant surface loading rates and HRT’s: See supporting information contained at the conclusion of this document. 1) Verification of plant sizing/performance using AquiFAS computer modeling, 2) Literature and data from pilot and full scale MBBR treatment plants 11/24/2009 Proprietary & Confidential Alkalinity Feed System: Because nitrification requires approximately 7.1 mg alkalinity as CaCOsimg NH«-N oxidized, the concentration of alkalinity in the wastewater is not clearly or easily defined and may vary depending on chemical composition of the wastewater, an automated chemical feed shall be incorporated into the design. The alkalinity source shall be transferred automatically to the flow equalization tank. Oxygen Requirements: One dual lobe rotary air blower ( and coarse bubble aeration grid shall be used to transfer dissolved oxygen to the wastewater and provide mixing in the aerobic reactors. Based upon the design criteria listed on page one of this document, approximately 17.2 Ibs. of oxygewhour (413 Ibs/day) are required for efficient treatment of the wastewater during the summer and winter seasons. This oxygen requirement is derived using actual and standard oxygen requirement (AOR and SOR) calculations for wastewater treatment based on the fact that 1.1 Ibs, and 4.6 Ibs. of oxygen are required to oxidize each pound of BODS and ammonium respectively The air required to provide the necessary oxygen transfer and adequate mixing can be determined by the following equations: Mass of air (Ibs./day) = (Ibs. oxygen/day) / (.232*OTE) ‘Volume of air (SCFM) = ((Mass of air) / (air density)) / (1440 minutes/day). Where OTE is defined as the oxygen transfer efficiency and has been conservatively documented to be between 0.75%ft (7.125% with 9.5 fi of side water depth) for coarse bubble diffusers. The air density is approximately 0.075 Ibs/ft’. According to this equation, 231 SCFM @ 5.4 psig of air are required to transfer oxygen to the wastewater to satisfy the needs of the biomass. One dual-lobe positive displacement blower, rated at 15 horsepower shall be used to satisfy the dissolved oxygen and mixing requirements. The blower shall be capable of supplying 300 SCFM at 5.4 psig. The blower shall be enclosed in a fiberglass enclosure with vibration isolators, and equipped with a motor, v-belt drive, flanges, filters, silencers, pressure and suction side connections and pressure relief valve. Two blowers shall be employed at the plant so maintenance can be carried out on the blowers without adversely affecting the operations of the plant Chemical Precipitation for Phosphorus Removal: If future discharge regulations require the reduction of phosphorus, it can be achieved with the supplied treatment plant. Phosphorus (P) removal with metal salts, typically aluminum (alum or polyaluminum chloride) or iron (ferric chloride or ferric sulphate) is by far the most popular method used in the United States. Controls for this type of P removal are considered to be simple and straightforward (EPA - Phosphorus Removal Manual 1987, WEF — Biological and Chemical Systems for Nutrient 8 11242009 Proprietary & Confidential Removal 1998). It consists of adding metal salts as coagulants that react with phosphates in the wastewater to form insoluble precipitates (metal phosphates and metal hydroxides). Dosing of coagulant is based on the stoichiometric metal salt to P ratio dictated by the concentration of P in the wastewater. Typically, 1.5-3 Moles of aluminum (AI"*) or iron (Fe'*) are required/Mole of P, and the efficiency of P-removal is related to the coagulant dose. Systems utilizing metal salt addition can effectively achieve 80-95 percent total P removal and effluent P concentrations less than 1.0 mg/L (EPA - Phosphorus Removal 1987, WEF ~ Biological and Chemical Systems for Nutrient Removal 1998). Theoretically, the sludge produced is (2.9 mg solids/mg Al for alum) and (1.9 mg solids/mg Fe for ferric) WEF ~ Biological and Chemical Systems for Nutrient Removal 1998, Typical dosages of Al and Fe are approximately 15 mg:mg P. Assuming that the concentration of P in the aerobic effluent is approximately 5 mg/L, the sludge praduced at design flow shall be approximately 50 Ibsiday of dry sludge. This calculation assumes that the solids generation rate is 2 mg of solids/ mg of Metal coagulant used and the effluent phosphorus S mg/L. Ultraviolet Disinfection: A UV disinfection system shall be supplied to reduce fecal coliform levels to <1000 MPN /100 0 11/24/2009 Proprietary & Confidential milliliters. A Trojan UV3200K system (or equivalent) shall be used to disinfect the effluent. This system is capable of disinfecting 280,000-GPD of effluent having 2 TSS of 30-mg/l. The system is designed to deliver a minimum UV dose of 31,000 Ws/em2. The system will consist of a single UV channel having four (4) UV modules each containing two (2) UV lamps for a total of eight (8) lamps. The UV system will produce an effluent conforming to the following discharge permit: 200 fecal coliform/100 ml, based on a 30 Geometric Mean fecal coliform REFERENCES: The design of the Cadron Creek MBBRs is equivalent to MBBR’s that are commonly used for wastewater treatment throughout the world. Similarly, these treatment systems use submerged synthetic media that provides a medium for biofilm development in a completely mixed reactor without the need for sludge recycling or backwashing. This technology was developed by the Norwegian Government due to a need for simple to operate effective treatment plants that have the ability to achieve nutrient removal in cold climates. Since 1990, literally hundreds of papers have been published detailing the design and operation of pilot and full scale MBBR’s. The MBBR’s have been designed for BOD, total nitrogen (using pre and/or post anoxic zones) and phosphorus removal for municipal, commercial and industrial treatment, ‘The following papers are not meant to be an exhaustive list, but a demonstration of the research that has been conducted and verification that the pollutant loading rates used in this design are conservative and in agreement with the reported values. Note that a majority of the research papers listed below are concerned with nitrogen removal in cold climates and that plants achieving nitrogen removal consistently oxidize >95% of the wastewater’s BODS. 1) Texts and Manuals Metcalf and Eddy, Wastewater Engineering, Treatment and Reuse, Fourth Edition, - 2004, McGraw Hill Companies Metcalf & Eddy, Warer Reuse — Issues, Technologies and Applications — 2007, The MeGraw Hill Companies.

Total nitrogen removal rates were as high as 90% with an empty bed HRT of 2.6 B 11/24/2008 Proprietary & Confidemial hours. A full scale test was completed by converting 4 parallel activated sludge aeration basin to a MBBR. The MBBR consisted of aerobic zones for nitrification and post anoxic zones for denitrification. It should be noted that chemical precipitation occurs in the primary clarifiers prior to the MBBR. Complete nitrification was achieved at overall ammonia surface loading rate of (0.64 grams NH4-N/m?-day) with HRTs fluctuating between 1.4-3.4 hours with wastewater temperatures from 6.9-15.9 °C. Previous pilot testing at a different treatment site in Norway over the same temperature range resulted in nitrification rate of (J.1 grams NH4-N/m?-day). The reduced nitrification capacity at the site was reportedly caused by poor COD removal in the pre-precipitation process, which increased the BOD loading to the nitrification reactor. » Complete denitrification was achieved at an overall NOx-N surface loading rate of (1.5 grams NOx-N/m?-day) with a maximum HRT of 58 minutes @ wastewater temperatures from 9.1 — 15.9 °C, using methanol as the carbon source. It is reported that the overall denitrification rates were limited by the low nitrate concentrations in the reactor and insufficient carbon dosing for two weeks to the anoxic reactor during the study period. Denitrification rates up to (2.5 grams NOx-N/m?-day) were observed in the anoxic reactors. “4 11242009 Proprietary & Confidential 1. Facility Name: 2.
