EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT a. Compliance and Operational Status Report (ITEM Fla) Third Quarter Report The Plant average flow for the fiscal year is 16.90 MGD. Of this flow, Delray's flow was 6.99 MGD accounting for 41.40% and Boynton Beach's flow was 9.91 MGD accounting for 58.64%. Two of our main operating parameters used to determine how effectively the Plant is operating are total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand (CBOD) Our average TSS and CBOD were 0.51 and 1.38 mg/L. This constitutes a removal of 99% of all (TSS) and a removal of 99.01 % of all (CBOD), well above the removal limits required (85%) by the Board's FDEP Operating Permit. b. "B" Clarifier Rehabilitation Project (ITEM F2b) On June 21, 2013 Board Staff and Hazen and Sawyer held a pre - construction meeting with Florida Design. Having satisfied all the initial contractual requirements, a Notice to Proceed was issued on July 1, 2013. The contractor has now started taking field measurements of the existing three clarifiers. Manufacturing of the equipment is expected to take 4-5 months. In the interim, within the next 30 days, the contractoris scheduled to mobilize and be onsite to start on other areas of the project such as the administration building parking lot improvements and the new truck wash station. Final completion of the project is scheduled for September24, 2014. C. Mechanical Integrity Testing of the Deep Injection Well (ITEM F2c) The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires that injection well systems maintain mechanical integrity to ensure protection of the overlying aquifers that may be potentially used for raw water supply purposes. A specific condition of the operating permit for the injection well system is the demonstration of the mechanical integrity of the well once every five years. The five-year duration starts on the day of the previous successful casing pressure test. This test was originally conducted on June 11, 2008. H&S submitted a Mechanical Integrity Test (MIT) plan to FDEP on December 11, 2012 and FDEP provided notification of approval of the modified Mechanical Integrity Test plan on January 3, 2013. The Mechanical Integrity Test was successfully completed on May 31, 2013 by Layne Christensen Company, a licensed well -drilling company working as a subconsultant for H&S. It is anticipated that the final report will be submitted to FDEP on July 17, 2013. F ldocsIBOARD MEETINGSIAgendal2013UULY 2013UULY 2013.doc AGENDA - SCRWT&DB July 18, 2013 Page 5 of 9 d. SWA Pelletization Project Update (ITEM F2d) The final invoice for the construction of the Biosolids Processing Facility in the amount of $673,964. 000 was paid by the Board on June 18, 2013. Each city paid its 50% share of the final invoice before the Board payment was processed. The negotiations between the Original Partners, the Solid Waste Authority and East Central Regional related to the sale of excess capacity have been completed. A Third Amended Interiocal Agreement for Biosolids Processing and Recycling has been drafted and a motion to approve is on the Agenda under new Business J5. The draft agreement can be found under that agenda item tag. Under the agreement the Board's percentage of ownership will decrease from 21.75% to 14.75%. The Board's current annual ownership capacity in the facility will decrease from 41,282 wet tons to 27,996. Revenue from the sale of excess processing capacity will net the Board a return in the amount of $2, 037,588. 00. Before the funds are returned to the cities the Board's cost for the new Biosolids Facility gas blender project will be deducted. e. Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) L-30 Canal Restoration(ITEM F2e) On June 4, 2013 we officially received a letter from the Lake Worth Drainage District requesting that the Board extend its two existing stormwater outfall pipes that discharge into the L-30 canal. The canal is located to the north of the Board's property line. The Board hired Szauer Engineering, Inc. to provide construction drawings and construction assistance for the project. A cost estimate was provided and the estimated construction costs are $28,388.00. The project will be funded through the Board's repair and replacement budget. Florida Design is scheduled to be onsite shortly and we will obtain a cost estimate from them to perform the work. The Board will attempt to get two other quotes as well, however due to the small nature and minimal expense related to the outfall pipe extensions it may be difficult to get cost estimates from other utility contractors. f. Florida Department of Environmental Protection Operating Permit Renewal (ITEM F2t) The Board's Operating Permit was issued on July 28, 2009. The Operating Permit expires on July 27, 2014. We are required to apply for renewal of this permit at least 180 days before the expiration date of the permit. F:IdocsIBOARD MEETINGSiAgenda12013VULY 2013VULY 2013.doc AGENDA - SCRWT&DB July 18, 2013 Page 6 of 9 Board staff and Hazen and Sawyer have already begun working on the renewal process. It takes roughly four to six months to gather all the required information and put into the format required by FDEP. This is an extremely long process. The last renewal process took fouryears. The existing permit shall not expire until FDEP has taken final action on the permit application. g. FDEP Ocean Outfall/Reuse Update (ITEM F2g) The "2008 Ocean Outfall Elimination Law" requires wastewater treatment facilities to reduce their reliance on ocean outfalls for discharge of treated domestic wastewater in Southeast Florida. By July 1, 2013, the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board (SCRWWT&DB) was required to submit to FDEP a detailed plan to meet the requirements of the "2008 Ocean Outfall Elimination Law" Specifically, the Statutes require ocean outfall facilities to install a functioning reuse system no later than December 31, 2025 that provides a minimum of 60 -percent of the facility's actual flow on an annual basis (as determined by monitoring data taken during the baseline calendar years 2003 through 2007) for acceptable reuse purposes. Reuse flows sent to reuse projects during the 2003 through 2007 baseline year do not count towards meeting the 60 -percent reuse requirements. FDEP has calculated SCRWWT&DB's baseline average annual daily flowfor monitoring years 2003 through 2007 to be 12.9 MGD. To meet the 60 -percent reuse requirement, an additional reuse of 7.7 mgd is required to be implemented subsequent to the end of the baseline period (December 31, 2007) and prior to the Statute deadline of December 31, 2025. The purpose of this report is to detail the City of Delray Beach's and the City of Boynton Beach's compliance plan to implement additional reuse projects and to meet the requirements of the Ocean Outfall Elimination Law. h. Odor Control Update (April 11, 2013 through July 11, 2013) We had a great quarter - we had absolutely no odor complaints.
