1.0 Introduction
1.1 Scope
TomeetregulatoryrequirementsandexpandthejointlyownedwatersystemservingtheCityofParksville
andtheRegionalDistrictofNanaimo(RDN),theEnglishmanRiverWaterService(ERWS)isdevelopinganew
riverwatersupplycoupledwithAquiferStorageandRecovery(ASR).Thisinnovativeapproachmeetsthe
ERWS’smissionfor“AnEnvironmentallySensitiveUseofWatertoImproveFishHabitatandDomesticWater
Supply.”
Workcarriedoutpreviouslybyotherconsultantsincludeswaterqualitymonitoring,watertreatmentpilot
testing,andpreparationofaconceptualdesignfortheproject.PilottestingoftheASRisongoingand
expectedtobecompletedbythebeginningof2014.
ThepurposeofthisTechnicalMemorandum(TM)istoconfirmthedesignbasis,presentproposeddesign
alternatives,andrecommendadesignfortherawwaterintake,pumpstation,andtransmissionmaintothe
EnglishmanRiverWaterTreatmentPlant(WTP).

Basedonthetopographyaroundtheintakelocationandthe200yearfloodplainelevation,twoalternatives
forthepumpstationlocationandstructurewereconsidered:
x Araisedstructurewhichisbuiltontopoftheintake;and
x Asetbackstructurebuiltapproximately15mnorthoftheintake.
Thefirstalternativeinvolvesintegratingthepumpstationwiththeintakeinasinglestructureattheriver
