What are CWT Facilities? sm0216sem.pptx/3
What is a Centralized Waste Treatment Facility (CWT) • Defined in Rule 40 CFR 437 any facility that accepts hazardous or nonhazardous wastes for pretreatment processing before discharge to a Publically Owned Wastewater Treatment (POTW) facility. • Limits Governed By - Federal/State/Local Limits - Required Removal Efficiencies • Specified by EPA • Additional Requirements Set By Permitting Authority on a Case by Case Basis sm0216sem.pptx/4
Centralized Waste Treatment Facility • Four Subcategories - A: Metals - B: Oils - C: Organics - D: Multiple Waste Streams (i.e. combination of the above) sm0216sem.pptx/5
Permitting Agency Rights and Responsibilities Ø The Permitting Agency has the authority and responsibility to approve (i.e. to certify) CWT Subcategory D dischargers as meeting “equivalent treatment”. Ø EPA provides guidance for approval process “Small Entity Compliance Guide, Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Effluent Limitations and Guidelines and Pretreatment Standards” sm0216sem.pptx/6
Survey of CWT Facilities in California sm0216sem.pptx/7
Development of CWT Best Management Practices • Carollo Surveyed the following POTW agencies for CWT Subcategory D Dischargers. - City of Oxnard - Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD) - City of San Jose (SJ/SC Water Pollution Control Plant) - City of Los Angeles (City of LA) - Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) - Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) • Total of 10 operating CWTs surveyed. sm0216sem.pptx/8

City of Oxnard/SCWW Case Study sm0216sem.pptx/10
Background Oxnard: • 2015 US Census Population ~210,000 • Oxnard Plain has large Agriculture production • Port Hueneme and Naval base operations • Water supplied from local groundwater and imported sources • OWTP discharges to the Ocean • AWPF produces recycled water for potential IPR/DPT sm0216sem.pptx/11
Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant • Permitted Capacity 31.7 MGD • Existing Flows 19 MGD • 40 Significant Industrial Dischargers • Port Hueneme and Naval Base sm0216sem.pptx/12
The Potential Impact of Sea Level Rise Drives Consideration of a New Plant Site sm0216sem.pptx/13
Goals and Objectives • Provide compliant, reliable, resilient, and flexible systems that respond to future changes in regulations, policies and nature. • Integrate grey and green infrastructure with an emphasis on energy efficiency , where feasible. • Provide economic and social benefits within the community. • Modify systems to adapt to potential impacts related to climate change . • Achieve economic and environmental sustainability . • Maintain ratepayer affordability . sm0216sem.pptx/14
Master Plan Drivers • Regulatory – meet and/or exceed existing and future regulatory requirements • Repair/Rehabilitate (Condition) – on-going repairs to assure reliable performance, rehabilitation to extend useful life • Growth - phased expansion to provide 5 to 7 years of anticipated connection capacity • Performance – reduction in life-cycle cost, operational improvements for flexibility, reliability • Resource Sustainability – energy initiatives, resource reuse/recovery, sustainable design sm0216sem.pptx/15
Water Utilities Addressed in the IWRMP • Water • Wastewater = Integrated Water Resources • Recycled Water Master Plan (IWRMP) • Storm Water Streets Public Works Administration SCADA sm0216sem.pptx/16

sm0216sem.pptx/19 Site Plan - 2040
Increases to the City’s Water Rates have been Driven by Imported Water Costs. Cumulative Water Bill, CPI, and ENR CCI Increases Since 1990 500% Steep rise in rates corresponding to high 400% increases in imported water costs. 300% 200% 100% 0% Typical Monthly Water Bill ENRCCI - 20 City Average CPI LA, OC, Riverside - Utilities • Enhancements to local supply will give the sm0216sem.pptx/20 City greater control over costs and water rates
Water/Recycled Water Facilities through 2040 Add Dedicated IPR Line Complete RW Loop CMWD Pipeline Potable Dist Add SST Potable Well Add 6 ASR Wells Add 6 ASR Wells Expand Desalter, New Concentrate Add 3 ASR Wells, Add 5 Pipeline O-H Pipeline potable wells Extend RW RW Dist Pipeline to Ag sm0216sem.pptx/21 Users DPR Expand AWPF to 25 mgd
Bottom Line: City of Oxnard is Moving from Ocean Discharge to Advanced Water Reuse Ø Irrigation ü Golf Course - April 2015 Ø Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) ü Direct injection of Recycled Water to Groundwater Aquifer for Storage and Future Recovery ü Construction initiated in 2015 ü Delivery of Recycled Water for Tracer Studies - 2016 ü Delivery of Recycled Water For Storage and Ultimate Recovery - 2016 Ø Direct Potable Reuse ü Pending Agency Acceptance ü Practice Already Conducted in Other States (Texas) sm0216sem.pptx/22
