Other Requirements/Elenients
SSSHB 1338/Reclaimed Water Rule Existing reclaimed water permit will be referenced,additional
studies recommended if projected capacity of Belfair flows
exceed permitted discharge.
Public information Limited to documents developed as part of the amendment.
Public hearings/meetings Information for meetings held will be incorporated.
c. GSP Amendment will be based on the chapter outline included within the
2001/2004 and 2007 reports and consist of the following:
• Chapter 1 Introduction
• Chapter 2 Study Area Environment
• Chapter 3 Land Use and Population
• Chapter 4 Wastewater Flows and Loadings
• Chapters 5 and 8 Regulations
• Chapter 10 Treatment Alternatives
• Chapter 11 Collection System Alternatives
• Chapter 13 Financial Plan
• Chapter 14 Public Participation
• Executive Summary and Appendices
2. Perform flow projections based on latest available growth projection and
recommended I/I assumptions.
3. Perform collection system analysis using information from existing data.Integrate
preliminary design facilities developed in Task 1.2.
4. Assess impact to WRF with the following considerations:
a. Flow and loading
b. Industrial considerations/policies-wastewater characterization,SIUs,
pretreatment,local limits as may need to be considered
c. Process evaluation
d. NPDES/subsurf ace discharge considerations
5. Perform a water rights impairment preliminary analysis to determine if a water rights
impairment analysis(as described in Ecology's adopted reclaimed water rule)is
required as a part of this project,and if not,what"triggers" would necessitate the
analysis to be performed.
6. SEPA Checklist(Non-Project Action)
a. Prepare the SEPA Checklist for the general sewer plan amendment in
conformance with Washington Administrative Code(WAC)197-11-960 and
County standards.
b. The SEPA Checklist(Checklist)will briefly describe the project and address the
project's effects on elements of the environment,including a section for non-
project actions,as outlined in the Checklist.
c. Use project information and other available studies prepared for the project,such
as the documentation prepared for the additional tasks/subtasks included in this
proposal.
7. Submit SEPA checklist for GSP Amendment to County for approval as a non-project
action.
8, Submit a GSP Amendment to Ecology for review.
County Responsibilities:
• Participate in Ecology coordination conference calls.
Assumptions:
• The County does not have an existing General Sewer Plan approved by Ecology.It is
assumed that Ecology will accept an amendment to the County's 2007 Belfair/Lower
Hood Canal Water Reclamation Facilities Plan Supplemental Information as the GSP
Amendment. Contractor has no responsibilities nor scope/budget regarding
General Sewer Plan approval activities.
• The GSP Amendment will be based on and expand on the analyses in two previous
planning documents associated with the Belfair sewer system-the July
2001/Amended December 2004 Belfair/Lower Hood Canal Water Reclamation
Facilities report by Gray and Osborne and the May 2007 Belfair/Lower Hood Canal
Water Reclamation Facility Supplemental Information report by Murray,Smith and
Associates.Collectively,these documents evaluated both sewer collection and
treatment facilities that have since been constructed and placed in operation,
meeting the requirements of a GSP under the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC)173-240-050 for the existing system service area.
• As the sewer infrastructure developed to serve the three new areas will be
geographically isolated from existing system infrastructure,re-evaluation of existing
facilities will not be necessary.New collection system infrastructure will be
constructed to discharge directly to the headworks of the Belfair WRF.
• Anti-degradation Study and/or Water Rights Impairment Analysis as called out in
the new reclaimed water rule will not be required because the project does not intent
to increase the rated capacity of the existing WRF.
• If Ecology will require a pre-analysis of the new Reclaimed Water Rule with regard
to this project to determine of a water right impairment analysis is required,it is
assumed that future improvements beyond the scope of this project.
• One round of Ecology review comments will be required to received approval of
GSP Amendment.
Deliverables:
{ • Water Right Impairment Preliminary Analysis
• General Sewer Plan Amendment Draft and Final.
