Attachment 8
WRCRWA Pay‐go Capital Improvement Projects
Fiscal Year 2023‐2024 Budget
Capital Project No. 1: Odor Mitigation Project
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Cost: $6,418,193
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 $1,000,000 Summary
The WRCRWA Odor Mitigation Project will implement mitigation alternatives recommended by the engineering consulting firm hired to complete an Air Dispersion Model for the WRCRWA Treatment Plant. The project involves consolidating the six chemical scrubbers exhaust stacks (located very close to the eastern boundary of the WRCRWA Treatment Plant and nearby residential neighborhood) into a single larger diameter duct and relocating this consolidated exhaust stack farther to the west side of the WRCRWA Treatment Plant. This project also includes covering the cascading weir of Bioreactor No. 1 and capturing, routing, and treating foul air at the existing biofilter nearby. The biofilter will be modified as needed to treat the additional airflow.
Justification
Air Dispersion Model analysis indicated this project will help further mitigate fugitive odors at the WRCRWA Treatment Plant. This project aligns with the WRCRWA‐adopted Odor Management Plan Policy goal to systematically and proactively identify potential odor sources at the WRCRWA Treatment Plant and determine control strategies to reduce identified odors.
Background
Air Dispersion Model findings determined that the chemical scrubbers located at the Solar Drying Facility and the cascading weir at Bioreactor No. 1, required mitigation to further reduce offsite odor impacts.
Jacobs Engineering developed the proposed solution and presented it to WRCRWA’s Board of Directors in June 2019. Staff analyzed proposed solutions, vetted them through a third‐party odor expert, and recommended that the Board of Directors move forward this Odor Mitigation Project. In September 2019, WRCRWA’s Board of Directors authorized the Administrator to amend the Fiscal Year 2019‐2020 Budget by $500,000 to begin preliminary work, which included beginning the CEQA process and design. During Fiscal Year 2020‐2021, CEQA and design were completed. During Fiscal Year 2021‐2022 we began the construction.
The requested budget for Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 is for construction of the Odor Mitigation Project.
Schedule
The project is well underway with completion anticipated in Fall 2023.
WRCRWA Pay‐go Capital Improvement Projects
Fiscal Year 2023‐2024 Budget
Capital Project No. 2: Anaerobic Digester No. 3
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $9,240,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 $1,500,000 Summary
Anaerobic Digester No. 3 design is complete. Due to the timing of other capital projects, the Administrator scheduled construction of this project to begin in Fiscal Year 2021‐2022.
Justification
Anaerobic Digester No. 3 is necessary to provide redundancy and back‐up in case of emergency or planned and un‐planned major maintenance of either of the existing digesters. Addition of Anaerobic Digester No. 3 provides necessary solids digestion and treatment capacity as projected flow increases, within the next 2 years, reach 10 million gallons per day.
Background
Based on the capacity review by the Designer (Webb/Aqua) and a Consultant (WT Troxel & Associates), as influent flows continue to increase at the WRCRWA Treatment Plant, the projected hydraulic and organic loading on the two in‐place digesters will begin to stress their performance. The projected point at which overall treatment plant performance will be impacted is 10 million gallons per day (MGD).
Without the addition of a third digester, as flows increase there will be no capacity or redundancy available to take a digester out of service for maintenance or during an emergency, risking the WRCRWA Treatment Plant’s ability to comply with its NPDES Effluent Permit requirements.
In Fiscal Year 2019‐2020, the Board of Directors approved funding to hire an engineering firm to complete the design for Anaerobic Digester No. 3. Design was completed, and the project was advertised for public bidding, the bid opening was on October 14, 2021. Noticed To Proceed was issued on February 2, 2022. Construction began during Fiscal Year 2021‐2022.
Schedule
Much progress has been made with completion expected in September 2023.

Capital Project No. 3: Solar Dryer Discharge Conveyor
Allocation Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $1,792,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 $1,792,000 Summary
The Solar Dryer Conveyor project consists of the replacement of four conveyors at the “dry end” of the Solar Dryer and modifying the discharge chute. These conveyors transfer the processed sludge from the solar drier into the sludge loadout building where they are discharged into semi‐ trailers for offsite disposal.
Justification
This system is a single point of potential failure and needs to be fortified. During times of wetter solids, the current system conveys the wet solids to the end without much drying.
Background
The project consists of replacement of four conveyors at the “dry end” of the Solar Dryer. The conveyors on the “dry end” of the dryer that feed the truck loadout facility were sized for dryer solids. The solar dryer feed conveyors have sufficient capacity (provided the sludge is fairly dry, >50%). However, if dewatering equipment produces wetter solids, if a solar dryer bay is offline, or in periods of colder weather, wet solids could be conveyed from the wet end to the dry end without much drying occurring. Due to this potential, these conveyors should be replaced to allow for similar capacities as the “wet” feed conveyors. Also, the discharge chute at the end of the solar dryer needs to be modified to prevent solids bridging at times of the year.
It is recommended that with the replacement of the conveyance system, the chute should be modified to be wider and reduce the potential for “bridging” of solids above the conveyor.
Additionally, it is recommended to have spare motors and parts to keep this system running.
Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in May 2023 with completion in Fiscal Year 2023‐2024.

Capital Project No. 4: South Regional Pump Station (SRPS) Emergency Pump Allocation: Conveyance
Estimated Total Cost: $1,000,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 $214,000 Summary
Design, purchase, and installation of a standalone diesel bypass pump at the SRPS.
Justification
Currently there is no back up power at the SRPS. By design, in the event of a power outage, the wet well fills and if power is not restored quickly, raw sewage overflows into the Inland Empire Brine Line (Brine Line). Numerous improvements and upgrades have been implemented at the SRPS and WRCRWA Treatment Plant since 2016 to increase the overall system redundancy and reliability. The goal of the improvements/upgrades are to prevent future sewage overflow into the Brine Line located adjacent to the SRPS. Installation of a standalone diesel bypass pump will provide additional redundancy and reliability to the sewage collection system. The pump will also allow WRCRWA to maintain independent hydraulic control in the event of mechanical and/or electrical equipment failures at SRPS allowing the SRPS to continue to pump flows to the WRCRWA Treatment Plant rather than discharging them to the Brine Line.
Background
The SRPS serves the City of Riverside, Home Gardens, City of Norco, and City of Corona by pumping wastewater from these cities just over three miles to the WRCRWA Treatment Plant.
Average daily pumping flow is 3 MGD.
Orange County Sanitation recently objected to un‐planned and unnoticed sewage flows in the Brine Line and added a requirement to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority’s (SAWPA) discharge permit that required development of a plan to incorporate robust redundancies to prevent discharges to the Brine Line. Installation of the standalone diesel bypass pump will comply with this requirement should it be added to WRCRWA’s permit from SAWPA.
The WRCRWA Treatment Plant was designed to rely on the Brine Line and ultimately Orange County Sanitation District as a back‐up if there were problems that WRCRWA’s system could not handle. This option provides for redundancy against failure not only due to electrical but also due to mechanical issues. It also provides an added advantage over the generator only option that was considered last year as it is a more efficient option.
Schedule
The project has been selected to receive a Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant. Orange County Sanitation District and SAWPA have acknowledged the proposed plan. Work is slated to begin in late spring/early summer 2023 with completion expected in Fall 2025.

Capital Project No. 5: Processed Non‐potable Water Pump Improvements Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $337,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 $0
Summary
Replacement of processed non‐potable water pumps and suction piping at the WRCRWA Treatment Plant.
Justification
Pumps for the processed non‐potable water system have experienced degradation. The condition of the existing screen on the suction piping is unknown but based on material being in the pipe it appears the screen is not functional or the DIP pipe lining is falling apart and this is the material that is ending up in the pump. The suction pipe condition needs to be verified. Once the suction pipe condition is verified and resolved, new pumps should be purchased to replace the damaged units.
Background
It is speculated the degradation could be from a low suction head or even potentially chlorination being too high. The local representative for Grundfos visited the site and has been provided information regarding the installation and access to the existing pumps. Upon review of the pumps, it was noted that there is debris in the pumps and also in the suction piping. It is believed that this debris has caused the issues to the pumps by damaging the pump vanes.
Schedule
