COMMITTEE AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

January 22, 2025
Date: January 2, 2025
TO: Economic Development Committee
Eric Alvarez, Chair
Sue Zwahlen, Vice-Chair
Nick Bavaro, Member
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: William Wong, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Agreement for Standard Operating Procedures Development CONTACT: Jeff Daniels, Wastewater Division Manager, [email protected], 209-577- 6255
DESCRIPTION:

Consider an Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc., Sacramento CA for Standard Operating Procedures Development Services for a total amount not to exceed $801,220 and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Sewer Operations Funds) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Modesto owns and operates the City’s Regional Water Recycling Facility (WRF). Over the past 18 years, the City has expanded and updated its wastewater treatment processes to meet both State and Federal water quality mandates. The WRF is permitted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region to discharge treated effluent to the San Joaquin River and to the Delta-Mendota Canal. The WRF is divided into two campuses: the Sutter Campus and the Jennings Campus. The City of Modesto Regional WRF has an antiquated set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that do not completely reflect current operations.

In a recent Gap Analysis, 212 suggested SOPs were identified as needing to be completed, 70 of which have been deemed high priority (“Priority 1”), with the remainder designated at a lower priority (“Priority 2”).

The original gap analysis was just one component of a larger evaluation that focused on several issues related to Plant Operations, which did not include Plant Maintenance. The Plant #1..

Maintenance team has a small list of nine (9) current SOPs, and they would now like a gap analysis performed for Maintenance as part of this project for Operations.

DISCUSSION:

This project will result in a comprehensive suite of SOPs for both the City of Modesto’s Sutter and Jennings Regional Water Recycling facilities and the seven-mile pipeline connecting the two. The current and still being developed Area Management Plans (AMP) initially outline approximately two-hundred twenty (220) SOPs establishing a solid foundation of SOPs for both facilities and the connecting pipeline. Currently, the Wastewater Division operates from approximately fifty (50) dated SOPs that may not reflect current operations. The envisioned SOPs outlined in the AMP – called the 2023 SOPs - are prioritized based on critical business needs, safety and/or permit compliance. Due to the potential obsolescence of the existing SOPs, it is anticipated that at least seventy (70) Priority 1 SOPs are needed soon. A gap analysis of the Plant Maintenance procedures will also be needed, including a Technical Memo describing recommended procedures and prioritization.

The final product will result in a comprehensive digital library of interrelated Priority 1 and Priority 2 SOPs that are digitally attached to various databases in use, including the Electronic Operations and Maintenance Manual, the Maintenance Connection Computerized Maintenance Management System, the existing Lock Out/Tag Out procedures, and a future asset management system. The digital product will provide hyperlinks within each SOP directing users to other relevant information or procedures.

On May 24, 2024, the Purchasing Manager authorized staff to solicit proposals from the City of Modesto’s prequalified Consultant List that was approved on April 12, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-191.

On September 23, 2024, a Request for Proposals with a specific scope of work was issued to Woodard and Curran, West Yost, Carollo Engineers, and BKF engineering consulting firms.

On November 19, 2024, staff received and distributed one (1) proposal to a selection committee consisting of members from the City of Modesto Wastewater Division.

On November 26, 2024, the selection committee evaluated the proposal submitted by Carollo Engineers and determined it was responsive.

In accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(a), “Exceptions to Formal Bidding Requirements,” Agreements for Professional Servies are exempt from the bidding requirements of Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.203 if competitive quotations or proposals have been sought informally from at least three (3) qualified entities. Staff complied with the informal bid procedures and solicited proposals from the City of Modesto’s prequalified Consultant List approved by Resolution 2022-191. An award of an Agreement for Standard Operating Procedures Development for the Utilities Department, Wastewater Division to use Carollo Engineers, Inc., Sacramento, CA, conforms to the Modesto Municipal Code. Staff recommends the approval of an Agreement for Standard Operating Procedures Development with Carollo Engineers, Inc. #1..

Attention: Ben Koehler, Chief Plant Operator
Subject: Proposal – RFP 2324-99 Standard Operating Procedures Development Dear Mr. Koehler:

Carollo has been assisting the City over the last 20 years on utility projects and appreciates the opportunity to assist operations and maintenance (O&M) staff with their SOP development. Carollo has worked closely with the City to complete the operational guidance program (Blue Plan-it®) as well as the initial phase of this project in developing the Area Management Plans (AMP) and outlining the gaps and the initial list of needed SOPs.

Carollo is approaching this project from two sides: the first is using our historical knowledge of the City's facilities through engineering and operations support. The second is bringing in team members who have operated similar wastewater facilities and have created and relied upon SOPs. They understand the importance of the SOPs not just from a permit requirement, but as a useful tool for O&M staff. By approaching this from two sides, the goal is to reduce the amount of City effort required to complete this project.

We have put together a team that is familiar with the City of Modesto, including Ryan Sellman, our principal-in-charge, who has worked on the City’s largest wastewater projects since 2012 and has intimate knowledge of the City’s treatment facilities. Steve Walker, our QA/QC/SOP development lead, has worked together with O&M staff since assisting with startup and training of the Jennings Campus Phase 2 Treatment Plant. Steve has provided guidance to management and has been instrumental in getting the City to this point in developing SOPs. Stephen Snell, our digital integration lead, has worked with the City for over eight years on developing and updating the City’s electronic O&M manual, and is currently working on moving it to a new SharePoint server.

This team, along with our project manager, Chris Vasquez, who is a Grade V wastewater treatment operator, has worked with several plants to update and create SOPs. Chris will work closely with City staff to develop your SOPs.

We feel we are uniquely qualified with our team. Carollo has been heavily involved with the design and construction of the City’s treatment facilities. This team has been involved with startup and training on these new facilities, as well as providing guidance and assistance wherever needed. This will allow us to hit the ground running and require reduced City staff time to get started on SOPs.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and our team is ready to get started on these important SOPs. As always, Carollo is committed to assisting the City in a timely manner if selected for this project. If you have any questions, please reach out to Chris at 559-696-7115 or [email protected], or Ryan at 209-518-6855 or [email protected].

Sincerely,
CAROLLO ENGINEERS, INC.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES DEVELOPMENT
CAROLLO / PROPOSAL / NOVEMBER 2024
Carollo has reviewed the City’s proposed scope and
has come up with an approach to provide quality SOPs
to the City in an expedited fashion.

Approach and Understanding
The City has developed Area Management Plans
(AMP) that initially outline approximately 220 SOPs
divided into 70 Priority 1 SOPs and 150 Priority 2 SOPs for both the City of Modesto’s Sutter and Jennings
wastewater facilities and the seven-mile pipelines
connecting the two.

Our approach will deliver a comprehensive digital
library of interrelated standardized SOPs that are
integrated into the City’s existing Electronic O&M
(EOM) and Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS) through linking or other means.

Since Carollo already has a good understanding of the
plant and City expectations for the SOP development,
Carollo will start with developing a standard SOP
template that will be approved by the team and be
used for all SOP development. By accomplishing this
early, SOP development can begin quicker in the
project. With our team having a good understanding
of the process, SOPs needed, and access to the EOM
manual, a majority of the SOPs can be started without
having to be onsite for days tracking down information.

This allows our engineering and operations team to
work closely together in initial development and to
help pass on the plant knowledge from our staff
and into the SOP.

Proposed Scope of Services
This scope of services summarizes Carollo’s approach and understanding to deliver Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) requested by the City.

A majority of the SOP can be completed in the office,
then taken onsite to review and confirm with City
operations staff. This will allow us to make better use of City O&M time by using their time to review/finalize the SOP instead of development.

It is important to have the City review the SOPs
carefully, so that accurate information is included
within them. Carollo will work with the City to have
several workshops to go through each SOP and solicit
feedback. We understand that it can be challenging
to review 220 SOPs, so by use of workshops and
submitting smaller groups of SOPs, it will allow the City to provide feedback as the project progresses.

As the SOPs are being completed a gap analysis
will be completed for the maintenance SOPs and to
determine if any of the maintenance activities or SOPs
should be included with the other plant SOPs.

Scope of Services
The City’s proposed scope in the RFP is being
followed for our scope and fee. The one task that
is being added is task 1.1, which is the project
management side of the project, including meetings,
oversight, and invoicing.

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
The City of Modesto owns and operates the City’s Regional Water Recycling Facility (WRF). The WRF is permitted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Central Valley Region (Regional Board) to discharge treated effluent to the San Joaquin River (SJR) and to the Delta-Mendota Canal (DMC). The WRF is divided into two campuses: the Sutter Campus and the Jennings Campus. The City of Modesto Regional WRF has an antiquated set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that do not completely reflect current operations. In a recent Gap Analysis, 212 suggested SOPs were identified as needing to be completed, 70 of which have been deemed high priority (SOP Priority List-Attachment 2).

The Plant Maintenace team has a small list of 9 current SOPs. A gap analysis was not performed for maintenance.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
This project will result in a comprehensive suite of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for both the City of Modesto’s Sutter and Jennings wastewater facilities and the seven-mile pipeline connecting the two. The current and still being developed Area Management Plans (AMP) initially outline approximately two-hundred twenty (220) SOPs establishing a solid foundation of SOPs for both facilities and the connecting pipeline. Currently, the Wastewater Division operates from approximately fifty (50) SOPs that have aged and may not reflect current operations. The envisioned SOPs outlined in the AMP – called the 2023 SOPs - are prioritized based on critical business needs, safety and/or permit compliance. Due to the potential obsolescence of the existing SOPs, it is anticipated that at least seventy (70) Priority 1 SOPs are needed soon. A gap analysis of the Plant Maintenance procedures will also be needed, including a Technical Memo describing recommended procedures and prioritization.

The final product will result in a comprehensive digital library of interrelated SOPs that are digitally attached to various databases in use, including the Electronic O&M Manual (SharePoint), the Maintenance Connection Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), the existing Lock Out/Tag Out procedures, and a future asset management system. The Digital product will provide hyperlinks within each SOP to related or called out SOPs within one SOP or another.

It is possible that SOPs that are not included in the Priority 1 list will be completed as part of this initiative. These SOPs will have to adhere to the standards developed. It is anticipated that one hundred fifty (150) Priority 2 SOPs will be required to complete the initial SOP library. Your fee should include the completion of these Priority 2 SOPs. This effort will be optional as determined by the City of Modesto, as phasing may be required to meet budget constraints. #1..

Process Definitions • Influent Pump Station. Domestic waste is pumped into the Headworks by four constant-speed enclosed screw pumps. The pumps start and stop automatically in a lead-lag sequence according to wet well level, via the SCADA System. High-high wet well shuts all pumps down after a preset time delay. • Screening: Mechanical bar screens remove debris in the influent that may cause maintenance issues for process equipment and/or operational problems to the primary clarification or anaerobic digestion processes. The domestic flow passes through motorized gates to four climber-type mechanical bar screens. Each screen rake operates on a differential level, timer control, or manual, via the SCADA System. The screening drop onto a sluiceway which transfers into a combination Washer-Compactor, which washes than compacts the screenings and deposits them into a dumpster container for disposal. • Grit removal: Vortex –style grit basins are used to slow the influent flow velocity from greater than 2 feet/second to less than 0.5 feet/second. Flow from the bar screens passes through manual gates to four grit chambers. A motor-driven propeller in each chamber causes organic matter to stay in suspension while grit accumulates in the bottom trap, where it is pumped out as slurry by six pumps. The grit slurry is piped to four cyclone separators, which discharge the concentrated grit slurry into two Screenings Wash Presses (Huber Coanda units). Two screw conveyors deposit the dewatered grit into a dumpster container for disposal. • Flow Distribution. Effluent from the grit chambers flows through three motorized gates to three Parshall flumes. Flow in the flumes is measured by sonic level sensors and transmitted to the SCADA System. Manual gates then control the distribution of flow to either or both Primary Clarifiers. • Average Daily Flow (ADF): The actual average flow of sewage through the sewage treatment system in a 24-hour period, typically assumed to be 60% of the daily design flow. • Peak Daily Flow (PDF): The largest volume of flow anticipated to occur during a one-hour period, expressed as a daily or hourly average. • Solids Retention Time (SRT): The average time the sludge solids are in the digesters. • Hydraulic Residence Time (HRT): The average length of time that water remains in a process unit.

Overview

BE AWARE
Dangers of Sutter processes include raw sewage with potential of disease exposure, stairs, slippery surfaces, confined spaces, airborne vectors, equipment that automatically starts and stops, chemicals with low and high pH, and high voltage electricity.

Process Definitions • Anaerobic bacteria. Bacteria that grow only in the absence of free or dissolved oxygen. • Anaerobic digestion. The degradation of concentrated wastewater solids (sludge, biosolids) during which anaerobic bacteria break down the organic matter into inert solids, water, carbon dioxide and methane. • Supernatant. The usually clear liquid overlying material deposited by settling. Supernatant from an anaerobic system generally contains high concentrations of dissolved and suspended solids, organic materials, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other materials. When returned to the treatment plant influent, these materials may impose an extra load on the liquid treatment processes. • Drying beds. Sludge-drying beds provide the simplest method of dewatering. A digested sludge slurry – decanted from Digesters 4 and 5 - is spread on an open bed of dirt and sand to a level of 14” and allowed to remain until dry. Entrained water evaporates.

After the digester contents are dry, the sludge is hauled to Jennings for land application on predetermined fields. • CFR Part 503 criteria. Digested sludge must meet these Federally-mandated parameters. SRT = 15 days or greater; sludge contents must be held at 95o
F or greater; and volatile solids destruction must be greater than 38%. The rule includes guidance as shown below. https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/plain-english-guide-epa-part-503-biosolids-rule Actual performance is reported annually, therefore the data required for the report must be comprehensive enough to demonstrate compliance.

Impacts to the Sutter Processes
Influence Concerns Location to
Process
Shoulder seasonal discharges may arrive before or after Can Seg is in use. The sewage flow, strength and entrained debris may affect Sutter operations. Canneries Upstream
Discharge flow, strength and debris can be variable. Industries may ramp up or rap down production based on business factors and will not communicate those changes to Sutter operations.

Industries
Digester solids that overflow in the supernatant can be inert and may not settle in the primary clarifier. Excessive solids results in additional pumping from the primary clarifiers and increase digester heat demand.

Digester 4 and 5
Supernatant
Septage contains debris that increases screening volumes. Undesirable chemicals can be included in the discharge. Septage Receiving Station Tannins and Lignins may be entrained in the industrial discharges. These are soluble and flow through to Jennings, where they may affect UV transmittance.

Tannins and Lignins –

Process Operations Strategies
Variable What it controls Why use the strategy
Anaerobic Digestion
Maintaining target time = more stable contents = better solids quality to settle in Digesters 4 and 5, less solids flow to divert to the drying beds (reduced solids handling costs) and greater gas production (less supplemental natural gas costs) Process
effectiveness
Solids retention time in
Digesters 1 and 2
Supernatant quality Hydraulic retention time in
Digesters 4 and 5
Sludge Drying
Maintaining less than 14 inches – determined by comparing the sludge level to the bottom of the sludge discharge piping – allows the sludge to dry quicker than an overfilled bed.

Sludge drying
efficiency Sludge level
The current practice is decanting 70,000 gallons of sludge from each digester (4 and 5) every Tuesday and Thursday. This practice may not be optimal.

Alternative strategies to determine how to minimize solids carryover in the the supernatant will be evaluated.

Feed strategy Sludge bed rotation

Process Definitions • Cannery Segmentation: Food-processing water can be treated by applying it to the ranch land, or through the Fixed Film Reactors. Because the canning season coincides with the peak growing season, both domestic secondary effluent and food process water are combined and applied to the land for irrigation. The volume of food process water that can be used for irrigation is limited the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loading rates and require that the process water be applied at agronomic rates to prevent over-watering. • Facultative Ponds: The first pond is like a primary clarifier, where heavier solids settle to the bottom and lighter solids float.

Anaerobic organisms live in the accumulated sludge on the bottom. The surface area provides an atmospheric oxygen transfer rate adequate to prevent anaerobic conditions on the surface. Intermediate depths support facultative microorganisms that oxidize the dissolved and suspended organics from the primary effluent and the anaerobic products on the bottom, reducing the BOD of the sewage. Facultative pond effluent can be used to dilute the primary effluent from Sutter. The effluent from these ponds may not meet the nitrogen compounds discharge permit criteria, which resulted in the additions of Phases I and II. • Storage Ponds: Effluent storage ponds are used to store undisinfected secondary effluent when conditions do not allow either land, canal or river discharges. The stored volume is emptied – either by discharging to the river or using it for irrigation – as required to maintain the overall water balance of influent and effluent flow. • Recirculation Channel: The recirculation channel connects all facultative ponds. Pumps allow the contents to be recirculated for additional treatment. The channel allows isolation of each pond for maintenance if required. • Fixed Film Reactors: The FFRs are an attached-growth aerobic treatment system that use microorganisms attached to plastic media to remove organic matter from Sutter primary effluent or water from the facultative ponds. Influent and recirculated flow enters the biotower through distributor arms. The distributor arms circulate and evenly spread the wastewater across the top of the media. The wastewater then flows down through the media, where it is treated by the bacteria attached to the media and exits the biotower. The effluent flows to the FFR effluent box then into the East Recirculation Channel. • Firm Capacity: The output of a process or capability or equipment with one unit out of service (n-1). 8 #1..
- 131 -
Process Definitions • Can Seg Season: Combined cannery waste and/or secondary effluent is used for pasture irrigation through a network of piping and pump stations. Secondary effluent is stored in the Irrigation Reservoir and mixed with cannery waste (when available) in the Mixing Box. • Irrigation Pump Station: The Irrigation Pump Station discharges secondary effluent through a 54-inch force main to the Irrigation Reservoir. • Booster Pump Stations: Booster Pump Stations send irrigation water to the Ranch sites. • Tailwater Pump Stations: Tailwater Pump Stations return any runoff to the distribution system, Recirc Channel, Irrigation Forebay, or Irrigation Reservoir or bypass it to the drainage slough during non-irrigation wet weather winter mode. • Land Application: Application of partially treated wastewater or biosolids to the Ranch. • Ranch: Land application area that receives partially treated (undisinfected) secondary treated water, cannery segregation water, and biosolids.

FFR effluent flows through the Recirculation Channel before entering the Facultative Ponds.

The Recirculation Pump Station conveys wastewater through the Recirculation Channel. Wastewater in the East Recirculation Channel is pumped through the Influent Header into the Facultative Ponds.

Flow exits the Facultative Ponds to the Effluent Collector. From the Effluent Collector, secondary effluent can be conveyed through three pathways.

1. Directed to the Storage Forebay, where it is pumped to the Storage Ponds.

2. Directed into the Irrigation Forebay, where it can be pumped to the Irrigation Reservoir by the Irrigation Pump Station.

3. Pumped back into the Facultative Ponds using the Storage Pond Return Pump Station.

The Effluent Collector can also be used to convey secondary effluent from Storage Pond 2 into the Irrigation Forebay using the second pathway.

Process Definitions • Fine Screening: Fine screens are used to remove particles that may cause maintenance issues for process equipment and/or operational problems to the membrane bioreactor process. • Activated Sludge: The activated sludge process is a type of wastewater treatment process for treating sewage using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. • Oxidation Ditch: A complete-mix, activated sludge reactor designed to remove biodegradable organics (BOD), ammonia, and nitrogen from the process stream
• Biological Nitrogen Removal (BNR): Conventional nitrogen removal is performed in multiple stages in the activated sludge process. Wastewater ammonia (NH3
) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2) by autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and the nitrite is then oxidized to nitrate (NO3
) by nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) under aerobic conditions. Nitrate is oxidized to nitrogen gas in anoxic (unaerated) conditions. • Membrane Bioreactor (MBR): A membrane bioreactor is the combination of a membrane microfiltration process with the biological wastewater treatment process, the activated sludge process. • Ultraviolet Disinfection: Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses shortwavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. • Average Daily Flow (ADF): The actual average flow of sewage through the sewage treatment system in a 24-hour period, typically assumed to be 60% of the daily design flow. • Peak Daily Flow (PDF): The largest volume of flow anticipated to occur during a one-hour period, expressed as a daily or hourly average. • Solids Retention Time (SRT): The average length of time the activated sludge solids are in the aeration basins. • Hydraulic Residence Time (HRT): The average length of time that water remains in a process unit.

BE AWARE
Dangers of Phase I processes include raw sewage with potential of disease exposure, stairs, slippery surfaces, confined spaces, airborne vectors, equipment that automatically starts and stops, chemicals with low and high pH, and high voltage electricity.

Use PPE and safe working practices as required.

Return
Activated
Sludge
• A manually operated gate located at the inlet of the anoxic zone separates the aerobic and anoxic zones and controls the fraction of aerated mixed liquor that enters the anoxic zone from the aerobic zone. • The inlet gate is positioned to allow an optimal mixed liquor flow rate from the aerobic zone to the anoxic zone. If the mixed liquor flow rate is too high, the DO level in the anoxic zone will be too high. If the entrained DO level is too high the microorganisms that convert nitrate to nitrogen gas will not provide denitrification. • If the mixed liquor flow rate is too low, the DO level will be low and denitrification will occur; however, less nitrate in the mixed liquor will be denitrified, so less nitrogen will be removed from the oxidation ditch. • To establish an optimal flow rate from the aerobic zone to the anoxic zone, DO measurements are taken five feet into the anoxic zone. If the measured DO level is zero, the gate should be positioned more open; however, not so open that the measured DO level is greater than zero. If the measured DO level is greater than zero, then the gate should be positioned more closed. 8 #1..

Impacts to the Phase I Processes
Influence Concerns Location to
Process
Hydraulic retention time can affect BOD removal. Higher effluent BOD creates a larger load on Jennings. Sutter primary clarification Upstream
Warmer temperatures can increase the portion of BOD that is soluble. Soluble BOD (sBOD) is consumed first by the denitrifying organisms. Warmer effluent can result in more efficient nitrate removal.

Primary clarifier effluent
(Phase I influent)
temperature
Transit time, combined with warmer temperature, allows more biological action in the sewer, which can create septicity and reduce the amount of sBOD and increase the mass of filamentous organisms.

Sewage flow retention time
from Sutter to Jennings
Water returned from the facultative ponds is necessary to limit nutrient loading from high strength primary effluent. Phase I is designed to treat a maximum BOD load of 400 mg/L.

Make-up (dilution) water
flow and quality
Maintain a consistent flow rate through Phase I reduces variability, which improves MBR and UV performance.

Primary effluent/dilution
water pumping rate
Outside influences could negatively affect the BNR or UV processes. For example, tannins and lignins may negatively affect the UV transmittance.

Air or waterborne
insecticides or herbicides
In-plant drains Chemical or fuel spills could disrupt the BNR process.

Downstream
The Effluent Pump Station pumps tertiary effluent to the Delta-Mendota Canal. Minimum flow through the pump station is 3.6 mgd. Flow lower than this will cause the pumps to operate off the pump’s curve and cause unwanted starts and stops.

Process Definitions • Fine Screening: Fine screens are used to remove particles that may cause maintenance issues for process equipment and/or operational problems to the membrane bioreactor process. • Activated Sludge: The activated sludge process is a type of wastewater treatment process for treating sewage using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. • Biological Nitrogen Removal (BNR): Conventional nitrogen removal is performed in multiple stages in the activated sludge process. Wastewater ammonia (NH3
) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2) by autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and the nitrite is then oxidized to nitrate (NO3
) by nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) under aerobic conditions. Nitrate is oxidized to nitrogen gas in anoxic (unaerated) conditions. • Membrane Bioreactor (MBR): A membrane bioreactor is the combination of a membrane microfiltration process with the biological wastewater treatment process, the activated sludge process. • Ultraviolet Disinfection: Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses shortwavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. • Average Daily Flow (ADF): The actual average flow of sewage through the sewage treatment system in a 24-hour period, typically assumed to be 60% of the daily design flow. • Peak Daily Flow (PDF): The largest volume of flow anticipated to occur during a one-hour period, expressed as a daily or hourly average. • Solids Retention Time (SRT): The average time the activated sludge solids are in the aeration basins. • Aerobic Solids Retention Time (aSRT): The length of amount of time, calculated in days, that solids or bacteria are under aeration. • Hydraulic Residence Time (HRT): The average length of time that water remains in a process unit.

BE AWARE
Dangers of Phase II processes include raw sewage with potential of disease exposure, stairs, slippery surfaces, confined spaces, airborne vectors, equipment that automatically starts and stops, chemicals with low and high pH, and high voltage electricity.

Use PPE and safe working practices as required.

Activated Sludge – Biological Nutrient Removal
Operate enough pumps to return mixed liquor and the

NOTE: The returned activated sludge is a mixture of suspended solids, entrained pollutants such as ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and BOD, and alkalinity. The more chances the biomass get to remove the pollutants, the better the results. Ammonia reduction in the aerobic zones – nitrification - consumes alkalinity. Conversion of nitrite and nitrate to nitrogen gas in the anoxic zones - denitrification – returns about half of the alkalinity that was consumed in nitrification. RAS flow is not part of the aSRT calculation.

Impacts to the Phase II Processes
Influence Concerns Location to
Process
Hydraulic retention time can affect BOD removal. Higher effluent BOD creates a larger load on Jennings’ processes. Sutter primary clarification Upstream
Warmer temperatures can increase the portion of BOD that is soluble. Soluble BOD (sBOD) is consumed first by the denitrifying organisms. Warmer effluent can result in more efficient nitrate removal.

Primary clarifier effluent
(Phase II influent)
temperature
Transit time, combined with warmer temperature, allows more biological action in the sewer, which can create septicity and reduce the amount of sBOD and increase the amount of filamentous organisms.

Sewage flow retention time
from Sutter to Jennings
Water returned from the facultative ponds is necessary to limit nutrient loading from high strength primary effluent. Phase II is designed to treat a maximum BOD load of 400 mg/L.

Make-up (dilution) water
flow and quality
Maintain a consistent flow rate through Phase II reduces variability, which improves MBR and UV performance.

Primary effluent/dilution
water pumping rate
Outside influences could negatively affect the BNR or UV processes. For example, tannins and lignins from airborne agricultural dust negatively affects the UV transmittance.

Air or waterborne
insecticides or herbicides
In-plant drains Chemical or fuel spills could disrupt the BNR process.

Downstream
Compost drainage Leachate can return ammonia and other compounds.

The Effluent Pump Station pumps tertiary effluent to the Delta-Mendota Canal. Minimum flow through the pump station is 1,800 gpm. Flow lower than this will cause the pumps to operate off the pump’s curve and cause unwanted starts and stops.
