INTRODUCTION Rock Gardens is approximately a 17 acre tract located in the center portion of Section 2, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M. as shown on the 1-Mile map, (See Application Attachment2 - Figure 2). The subject property is located generally south and east of the village of No Name, on the south side of, and adjacent to, lnterstate 70. The existing mobile home park and campground consist of cabins, mobile homes, RV spaces, summer camp sites, single family dwellings and other buildings associated with the camping and river rafting industry. Water service is provided by 2 wells and wastewater is currently served by septic tanks and leach fields. A Closed Loop Reactor (CLR) wastewater treatment plant providing for0.025 MGD of treatment is proposed forthe existing development. Thisfacilitywill discharge to the Colorado River. PLANT SITE AND SERVICE AREA The proposed CLR plant will serve the development within the Rock Gardens property. The development consists of a mixture of domestic and recreational uses. The water demand for the development equals 69.3 EQRs. Currently, the breakdown of the EQRs is as shown in Table 1 in the Report Attachments. The plant will be located on the lower end of the property near the Colorado River, see Figure 2 attached to this report. This location allows for the minimum 100' setback between the plant and habitable buildings. The plant will be covered. Access to the site will be via the entrance to the mobile home park, which is its only access. The plant will be built in a single phase. The effluent from the plant will be piped to a discharge point on the Colorado River just below the plant. The location of the proposed wastewater plant in relation to otherwater and wastewater facilities can be seen on Figure 1 and Figure 2 of the attached Site Application. The proposed wastewater treatment facility is not located within the 100-year flood plain and there are no other natural hazards that threaten the facility. We have included the FEMA Area Flood Plain Map and the Preliminary Geotechnical Study by Hepworth - Pawlak Geotechnical, lnc. (See Application Attachments 4 and 5). t t t T T I I I T I T t I T I T I I I Engineering Report Rock Gardens Wastewater June 2003 Zancanella and Associates, lnc. ALTERNATIVES Offsite There is currently no facility in place to provide wastewater treatment for Rock Gardens. The buildings and camp sites are currently served by onsite septic systems. Rock Gardens is not located in the service area of an existing wastewater provider or 201 plan. ln a verbal discussion on February 13, 2003 with Larry Thompson of the Glenwood Springs Engineering Department, he indicated that Rock Gardens is outside the Glenwood Springs current 201 Plan. The applicant has proposed opportunities for consolidation with the nearby CDOT facilities and has determined that consolidation at this time is not desired by CDOT. On-Site Various on-site alternatives were evaluated for this project, which include: 1. Design and construction lndividual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS). 2. Design and construction of a Closed Loop Reactor System (CLR). 3. Design and construction of a Chromaglas SBR System. These alternatives were dismissed, except for the CLR due to cost constraints, space constraints or operational and maintenance costs. PROPOSED FAGILITY The proposed system will consist of an E. A. Aerotor Closed Loop Reactor (CLR) treatment facility. The CLR system, in our opinion, is the best solution to serye Rock Gardens' needs. We are currently proposing a plant capacity of 0.025 MGD to serve the needs of the Rock Gardens development. Rock Gardens has an estimated flow rate of approximately 18,000 gpd. The effluent will be discharged to the Colorado River immediately below the plant. This report contains the proposed treatment facility layout and details required for site application submittal. Manufacturer's product information and drawings have been included in Appendix A. Estimated Proiect Costs The total estimated cost for the construction of the Closed Loop Reactor plant would be I I T I T T Engineering Report Rock Gardens Wastewater Za n ca n e r r a ", o o. r"ii:?;r: l"o.: T t T I T T T I T I t I t $319,000.00. Application Attachment Appendix A includes estimated costs for the CLR plant alone. Effluent Limitations The Colorado River in the vicinity of the proposed wastewatertreatment facility is classified for the following uses: 1. Cold Water Aquatic Life Class 1 2. Class 1a Existing Primary Contact Recreation 3. Agriculture 4. Water Supply To protect these uses, the Colorado Department of Health will determine a set of standards to applyto the proposed Rock Gardens Treatment Facility. Preliminary Effluent Limitations forthe proposed treatment facility have been received from Ms. Karen Young, Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Colorado Water Quality Control Division. A copy of the Preliminary Effluent Limits can be found in Application Attachment 6. lnstructions, Equipment Operation & Maintenance Complete manuals and instructions for the operation and maintenance of all mechanical equipment for the treatment facility will be furnished by the individual equipment providers (Lakeside Equipment Corporation, et al.) and stored within the facility. Adequate tools, training and technical assistance will also be provided by the contractor's representative to the operator and management agency representative. Ooeration & Maintenance Reouirements Safetv Proper precautions shall be taken by the operator to avoid suffocation, exposure to infectious diseases, electrical, mechanical, and chemical accidents. General The operator shall: Engineering Report Rock Gardens Wastewater June 2003 Zancanella and Associates, lnc.

The 100 year flow was based on the Colorado River flow upstream of the Roaring Fork River, per the City of Glenwood Springs Fiood lnsurance Study, i.e. 32,500 cubic feet per second (cfs). This flow was reduced by 1770 cfs, which was the flow in the Colorado River at Dotsero on April 23,2000. April 23, 2000 was the date of the aerial photography used for the Glenwood Springs aerial topography which was used as the base mapping for this floodplain study. This base mapping was obtained from the City in AutoCAD format and used to develop river cross sections. The river cross sections developed were then exported to the Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS program. One output of this program is a profiie of the water surface elevation when the design flow is in the river. A copy of the proflle output is attached. Note that the river stations on the HEC-RAS outout are not the same as shown on the drawing, but HEC-RAS river station 11, just beiow the properry, is equal to station 20+00 on the drawing. The drawing shows the general topograohy of the area with your propen-v bounciary and the extent of the floodplain on the river bank adjacent to your property. lf you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

The oroperry covers parts of the southeru half of Sectiou 2, T . 6 S., R. 89 W. to the north and south of the river. Development is only piaaued to the north of the river. The general topography in the proposed development alea is shown by the cotrtour lines on Fig' 1' The oid alluvial fan urrface over rnost of the proPerty hes 2a average slope of about 8 % ' A steep, 30 foot hig!, terrace escarpmetrt with an average slope of about 60 T9 .y Preseff iu the southeru pan of the d,evelopmeil area and separates the old fan surface from a low river terrace. The southertr part of the deveiopmetrt area is on the ueariy level river terrace and fiIl pad that stand about 6 to 10 feet above the river. No Name Creek is iocared. about 250 feet nonhwest of the property in a channel that is deeply eroded into the old alluvial fan. Small residences and railer homes occuPy much of the fan surface on the properry. The low telrace is undeveioped except for camp sites. Vegetation consists of oak and other brush- GEOLOGIC SETTING Glenwood, Canyon iu the project area cuts through the southem. flank of the Laramide white River upiift. Regional mepping shows thu the sedimeutary rocks in this area d.ip steepiy to the south and are cut by several 5mell dispiacement faults (Ki*tan and Others, L997). The project site is located, in the No N2me grabea that is boguded by northwest tretrding faults on the noilhffist and southwest, see Fig. 1. These fauits are not considered to be potendaily active (Kirkham and Rogers, 1981)' The Leacivrue r rmestotre (IvIl) crops out ou the north catryon' side ia the graben' Older Paieczoic sedimeurary formations (Pz) are present on both the north and south cauyon sides outside the grabeu. Formariou rock in the project ares. i.s ::','eled by surfi.c:.a1 deposits. Most of the properry to the north of the river is on the old No Name Creek alluviai fan (Qafo). The fan deposia consist of large boulder, cobble and gravei-sized rocks in a siiry sand matrix. Colluvium (Qc) derived from the old fan deposit underiies the terraceI II Il.i*,.-..

A low river terrace (Qt1) that stands about 6 to 10 feet above the river is present in the southeru pan of the deveiopmeil area. The river terrace deposit consists of stratified, rotrnded gravel, cobbles and boulders in a siiry sand matrix. Much of the fan surface and river terrace has been modified by cuts and f,ils (a0. Subsr:rface expioration will be needed to evaluate the depth and cbaracter of the fills at ProPosed building sites, but most aPpear not to exceed about 10 feet deep. flELD EXPLORATION The fieid expioration for the project was conducted on November 27 and' December L4,}OOL. Two exploratory pi6 were excavated at the locations shown on Fig. 1 to evaluare the subsurface conditious in the fufiltration septic disposal areas- The piu were dug with a rubber-tired backhoe and logged by a representative of Hepworth- Pawiak Crcotechdcal, Inc. A sampie of the zubsofu was takeu with disturbed bulk 5qmpling methods. The depths at which the sampie was taken is shown on the Logs of Exploratory Pits, Fig' 2' The sr-Fle was renrrned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testiug. SI,IBSTIRFACE C OIYDMONS Graphic logs of the subsr:rface condiriotrs encoutrtered at the site are shown ou Fig. 2. The zubsofu cousist of abour 1 foot of topsoii overlying relatively dense, siighrly silry sandy gravel, cobbles asd boulders. These soils appear typical througlout the proposeri cieveiopuren't area. Laboratory tesdng peCormed on a sampie obtained from Pit 1 consisted of a gradation aaaiysis. Resuits of the gradadon qnalysis peCormed on the disnubed semPle (minus 5 iach fraction) of the natrual subsoils are shown oo Fig' 3' No free warer was encountered. in the pia to a depth of 8r/z feet at the time of excavation and the subsoiis were slightiy moist to moist. rt-r UEU I trLl.1 GEOLOGIC A*SSESSMENT The project geology shouid not preseil major constlaints to the proposed deveiopment. A hydrologist should determine if the low terrace ald filI pad are dbove the appropriate design flood level for the river. No Name creek has eroded a deep channei beiow. the old fan snrface aud the old fan, in the project area, is uo louger the site of debris flows. Site specific soii aad foundation studies. for builrlings on the old alluvial fan should evaluate the bearing capacity and settlement potetrtial of the fo,ndations soiis. Deveiopment specific geotechnical eugineering studies should be conducted if large cuts and fiii are pirnned on the steep terrace escarp*etrt- occupied stnrctures shouid be designed to witbstand mod'erateiy Suong earthquake ground shaking with littte or IIo damage and not to coilapse under strooger ground 5haking' The region is in the uniform Building cod.e, Seismic Risk Zone 1. Based on our cngetrt understanding of the earthquake hzzafi in this part of coiorado, we see no rea.Son m increase the commoniy accepted seismic risk zone for the area' PRELIMINARYDESIGNRECOMMEI\IDATTONS The conciusions aad recommeudations Presented below are based on the proposed improvements, field reconnaissance, subsurface conditions encouutered in the expioratory pits, and or:r experience in the area' The recomu'endations are suitable for piaming and preliminary desigu, but site specific sflrdies shouid be conducted ouce design piaa.s have been fimlized- FoT-1'1P4TIC\IS Bearing conditioas couid Vary <iepeir,rurg uu utc sgc-u1.- .r'...L.o ,; *" buildings ou the prop3ry.

The subgrade shouid be su'ipped of vegeBtion and topsoil ,nd gsmPacted prior to fiil placement. FiIl should be placc in even lifts and compacted to at least 100% of the maximgm standard Proctor density at a moisnrre cootetrt near optimr:'m. Foundation wails should be designed to span local anomelies and to resist iateral earth loadings if acting as retainigg stnrctures. Beiow grade areas and retaining walls should be protected. from wening and hydrostatic loading by use of an underdrain system' The footings should have a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection' FLOOR SLABS Slab-on-grade constnrction should be fea.sibie for bearing on the nanfal soils or compacted stnrcnrral fiII. There could be some Post corutruction slab movement at sites with collapsibie matrix. To reduce the effects of some differential moveuletrt, floor slabs shouid be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expaasion joints. Floor slab controi joints should be used to reduce dnmage due to shrigkage cracking' A minimum 4-inch thick iayer of free{raining gravel should r:nderlie floor slabs to faciiitate d3:inage. SITE GRADING The risk of constnrction-induced siope instabiliry at the site appears low provided cut depths are limitC aud the 6uilrlings and RV spaces have adequate setback from the $esp escarplp.egts aloug the Colorado River.

SI'RFACE DRAINAGE The grading plan for the zubdivision should consider runoff from development located adjace.ut to the properry aad. at individual buiiding sites. Water shouid not be allowed to pond which could impact siope stability and foundations- To limit infiifation into the bearing soils next 1s fouiiriings, exterior backflli should be capped with about I to Zfeet of finer-graded soils, be well compacted and have a positive slope away from buildings for a distance of at least 10 feet.. Roof dow:Lspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill' PM.COLATION TESTING percolation tesrs were conducted, o!. November 28 and December L7,200L at the locations designated by lligh Country Engineering. Profile Pit 1 and three percolation holes were dug near the ofEce buiiding and Profiie Pit 2 aud two percolation holes were dug uear the bath house. The test holes (nominal 12 iuch diameter by 12 incd deepl were hand dug at the bottom of shellow backhoe pits and were soaked with water oBe day prior to testing. The soiis exposed in the percolation holes are similar to those exposed in the profiie pits showu on Fig. 1 asd consist of abour 1 foot of topsoii overiying slightly silty sandy gravei, cobbies and bouiders.

Box 1908 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 Rock Gardens W'WTF, Garfield County Dear Mr. Zancanella: The Colorado Depatuent of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, has completed your request for preliminary effluent limits (PELs) for the proposed Rock Garden wastervater treatrent facility (W-WTF). Your current proposal is for a mechanicai WWTF with a hydraulic design capacity of 0.025 million gallons per day MGD). This proposed facilifywould discharge into the Colorado fuver at the NW1/4 of SE1/4 Section 2, T65, R89W, 6th P.M. in Garfieid County. This portion of the Colorado River is identified as stream segment COUCUCo3, which means the Upper Colorado River Basin, Upper Colorado Sub-basin, Steam Segment 03. This stream segment is composed of "Mainstem of the Coiorado fuver from the outlet of Lake Granby to the confluence with the Roaring Fork River." These identifi.cations are found in the Classification and Numeric Standards for Upper Colorado River Basin and Nonh Platte River (Planning Region l2). Effluent limits for specific constituents are based on the fype of permit a facility will require after construction. The Rock Garden WWTF, with its proposed hydrauiic design capacify of 0.025 MGD, may require a general permit. The preiiminary effluent iimitations were deveioped for the Rock Gard.en WWTF based on effluent limits estabiished in the Regulations for Effluent Limitations for a WWTF consisting of a mechanicai waste,vater treatrnent process, as well as the water qualiry-based effluent limits necessary for protection of the water qualiry of the Coiorado River. A PELs evaiuation is attached to document the findings and decisions that were used to derive the PELs in Table 1. T t I Proposed Rock Garden WWTF Thomas Zancanella, P.E.

Introduction The water quality assessmeut CWQA) of the Colorado River near the Rock Gardens Wastewater Treatrnent Facility (WWTF) was prepared by the Colorado Departnent of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Water Quality Controi Division (WQCD). The WQA was prepared for the development of Preiiminary Effluent Limits (PEL) to faciiitate issuance of a Coiorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) permit for the Rock Gardens WWTF, and is intended to determine the assimilative capacities avaiiable to the Rock Gardens W'WTF forpollutants found to be of concem. Figure 1 on the following page contains a map of the study area evaluated as part of this WQA- The Rock Gardens W'UITF proposed discharge is to the Colorado fuver. The ratio of the chronic low flow of the Colorado fuverto the Rock Gardens WWTF design flow is 17,477:1. Analyses thus indicate that assimilative capacities are very large and the nearest upsEeam and downstream faciiities have no impact on the assimilative capacities available to the Rock Gardens WWTF- Information used in this assessment includes water quality data gathered from tie WQCD Station 46 (Colorado River near Dotsero) and steam flow data from USGS Gage 09070500. Both ofthese sites are located approximately 16 miles upstream of the proposed WWTF outfail. The data used in the assessment consists ofthe best information avaiiable at the time ofpreparation of this PEL anaiysis.

The mean total hardness (as CaCO3) of the avaiiable upstream data is used in calculating the metals TVS. The mean hardness was computed to be 123 mgil based on sampling data from WQCD station number 46 (Colorado River at Dotsero) located on the Coiorado River approximately 16 miles upstream ofRock Gardens.

Water Quantity Colorado regulations specifu the use of low flow conditions when estabiishing water quality based effluent limitations, specificallythe acute and chronic low flows. The acute low flow, referred to as lE3, represents the one-day low flow recurring in a three-year interval. The chronic low flow, 30E3, represents the 30-day average low flow recurring in a three-year interval. Low Flow Analvsis To determine the low flows available to the Rock Gardens WWTF, USGS gage station 09070500 (Coloraclo River near Dotsero, CO) was used. This 1low gage prol'ides a representative measurement ofthe upstream flow because there are no diversions or confluence of significance benveen the flow gage and the faciliry. Daily florvs from the USGS Gage Station 09070500 (Colorado River near Dotsero. CO) were obtained and the annual 1E3 and 30E3 lorv flows rvere calculated using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) DFLOW softrvare. The output from DFLOW provides caiculated acute and chronic low florvs tbr each month. Flow data from Januar,v 1, 1990 through September 30, 2000 were avaiiable from the gage station. The gage station and time frames were deemed representative of curent flows and were therefore used in this analysis. Based on the low flow analysis described previousiy, the upstream low flows avaiiabie to the Rock Gardens W-WTF were calculated and are presented in Table A-5.

Technical Analvsis In-strearn background data and low flows evaiuated in Sections tr and III are ultimately used to determine the assimilative capacity of the Colorado River near the Rock Gardens WWTF for poilutants of concern. For ail parameters except ammonia a technicai anaiysis of stream assimiiation capaciry uses the annuai low flow (lowest of the monthly low flows) as calculated in the low flow anaiysis. For ammoma" the regulations allow the use of seasonal flows when establishing assimilative capacities. It is standard procedure to determine assimilative capacities for each month using the monthly low flows calculated in the 1ow flow analysis. I I I PEL Page 6 of 10 J.C.H. 10t04/02 Rock Gardens WWTF Water . , -4r( ^.E.j?j 'r.o?.s I I t t T I I I The assimilative capaciry analysis consists of steady-state mass-balance calculations for most pollutants and modeling for other pollutants such as ammonia. A mass-balance equation is used to calculate the maximum allowable concentration of pollutants in the effluent and accounts for the upsteam concentration of a pollutant at the existing qualify, critical low flow (minimai diiution), effluent flow and the water quatity standard. The mass-balance equation is expressed as: Mz=MzQt-MrQr Qz where: Qr = Upstream low flow (1E3 or 30E3) Q2: Average daily effluent flow (ciesign capaciry) 2r: Downstream flow (Q7 + Qz) Mr = rn-stream backgror:nd pollutant concentration at the mean Mz: Calcalated murimum ailowable effluent pollutant concenfation Mr: Ma:<imum allowable in-steam pollutant concentration (water quality standard) Pollutants of Concern The following parameters were identified by the WQCD as pollutants of concern for this facility: o Total Ammonia . Fecal Coliform r Total Residual Chlorine. .PH . TSS . BODs . Oil and Grease There are no numeic in-stream rvater quaiity standards for BODs, TSS, and oil and grcase. Thus, assimilative capaciries for these parameters were not caiculated in this PEL assessment. Appropriate effluent linr.itations for these parameters rvill be set by CDPS ef{luent limit guidelines. Based upon the size of the discharge, the lack of industrial contributors, dilution provided by the receiving stream and the fact that no unusually high metals concentations are expected to be found in the urastewater effluent, metals are not evaluated further in this water quality assessment. Rock Gardens WWTF: The Rock Gardens WWTF is iocated in the NW1/4 of SE1/4 Section 2, T65, R89W, 6rh P.M. in Garfieid County. The proposed design capacity of the facility is 0.025 MGD (0.03875 cfs). Wastewater treatr:rent is proposed to be accomplished using a mechanicai wastewater treatrnent process. The technical analyses that follow include assessments of the assimilative capacity based on this design capacity. Nearbv Sources Aa assessment of nearby facilities based on WQCD's Permit Tracking System database found 2 current dischargers to the Colorado River in Glenwood Springs downstream of the Rock Gardens W-WTF; The City of Glenwood Springs WWTF (CO-0020516) and Glenwood Hot Springs (CO- 0000141). There are 3 proposed Coiorado Departrnent of Transportation (CDOT) rest area I t I I t I t PEL Page 7 of 10 J.C.H. 10/04/02 I I I T Rock Gardens WWTF Water Qualiry Assessment PEL discharges upstream ofthe Rock Gardens W'WTF in Glenwood Canyon. There are current instream temperature standards and effluent temperature limit guidelines being discussed by a workgroup of the WQCD. This may effect the Glenwood Hot Springs effluent limits, but the Rock Gardens WWTF discharge limits would not be effected by these issues. Because of the large river volume available for dilution, the domestic nature of the other discharge faciiities, and the fact that other facilities are located far enough away from the proposed Rock Gardens W'WTF, these facilities were not considered in this analysis. Based on information curently available, there is no indication that non-point sources are a significant source of pollutants of concern in this area. Any upstream non-point sources were considered in the assessment of the upstream water quality. Chlorine: The mass-balance equationwas used to determine the assimilative capacityforchlorine. There are nu yuiur. >uurecs discha'gilg iotai residual chiorine within one miie of the Rock Gardens WWTF. Because chlorine is rapidly oxidized. in-stream levels ofresidual ciriorine are detected only for a short distance belorv a soruce. Ambient chiorine rvas therefore assumed to be zero. Using the mass-baiance equation provided in the beginning of Section fV, the acute and chronic low flows set out in Section Itr, the chlorine background concentration of zero as discussed above, and the in- stream standards for chlorine shown in Section II, assimiiative capacities for chlorine were calculated. The data used and the resulting caiculations of the allowable discharge concentration, Mz, are set forth below. Fecal Coliform: There are no point sources discharging lecal coiifomr within one mile of the Rock Gardens WWTF. It is standard operating procedure of the WQCD to perform a mass-baiance calcuiation to determine if fecai coliform standards are exceeded. WQCD procedure specifies that the mass-baiance be calculated using only the chronic low flow as set out in Section Itr. Using the mass-balance equation provided in the beginning of Section fV, the background concentration gsnlainsd in Section II, and the in-stream standards for fecai coliform shown in Section tr, checks for fecal coliforrn were conducted. The data used and the resuiting calculations of the allowabie discharge concentration, M2, are set forth below. Ammonia: Ammonia is present in the aqueous environment in both ionized and un-ionized forms. It is the un-ionized form which is toxic and which is addressed by water quaiity standards. The proportion of total ammonia present in un-ionized form in the receiving stream is a function of the combined upstream and effiuent ammonia concentrations, and the pH and temperature ofthe effluent and receiving stream, combined.

The data used and the resulting calculations ofthe allowable discharge concentation, M2, are contained in Table A-6. V. Antidegradation Review As set out in The Basic Standards and Methodologies of Surface Water, Section 31.8(2)(b), an antidegradation analysis is required except in cases where the receiving water is designated as "IJse Protected" where the fuil assimilative capacity of a receiving water may be used, or "Outstanding Waters" where no degradation of a receiving water is ailowed.

Aerotor Plant The E. A. Aerotor Plant is a simple, efficient, economical method to treat municipal and industrial wastes. Unlike typical smallpackageplants, the E. A. AerotorPlant incorporates allthe componentJofalarge scale extendedaeration/ complete mix process utilizing Lakeside's Closed Loop Reactor Process. The CLR Proceis functions as the reactor basin for extended aeration and Lakeside's Spiraflo Clarifier functions as the final settling tank. The E. A. Aerotor Plant's compact structure makes it particularly suitable for small communities, housing developments, trailer parks, schools, and industrial applications. The E. A. Aerotor Plant is available for sites wid an average flow between .01 and 0.5 mgd. Plant Operation Closed Loop Reactor Operation_ Wastewater flows through a bar screen and into the reactor basin upstream from the rotor. The rotor distributes the incoming and retumed sludge flows and mixes them with active microorganisms. The rotors also supply oxygen and provide propulsion to keep the contents of the reactor basin uniformlv mixed and in motion. The mixture of wastewater and active microorganismscirculateswithinthe RoToRASSEMBLY reactor basin for about 24 hours. The ROTOB EAFFIfflow then passes over a handwheel operated weir into the Spiraflo Clarifier. ROTOR COVEH (0m0Nru REACTOR BASIN Spi raflo Clarifier Operation ln the Spiraflo Clarifier, the solids separate from the liquid to form sludge and scum. The remaining clear liquid passes over the clarifier effluent weir and is discharged either to the effluent stream or E. A. Aerotor Plant Layout I I I I I T i: I t to further treatnxent processes. The floating scum and the settled sludge are returned to the reactor basin R.T.RASSEMBLY by an air lift pump from the scum box and the clanfier respectively. Excess siudge formed by the process is stable. It is re- moved from the svstem and transported to a sludge holding tank. The excess sludge can be applied to siudge beds and SCUMATBUFI sludge lagoons or it can be hauled away for land disposal. /SP|RAFLo ctAFHm ADJUS'TABI.T WEIRI I T I I t SIJOGE HOPPEf, I l l T T T T t t t T T I ) I l Design Benefits Design of Plant The E. A. Aerotor Plant is custom designed to provide optimum performance at the lowest possible cost- Both the Closed Loop Reactor and the Spiraflo Clarifier are .^rdividually sized to meet the specific requirements of each application. To save space and reduce installation costs, the Closed Loop Reactor and the Spiraflo Clarifier are designed to share a common wall. For special applicadons, the Closed Loop Reactor tank can be designed with two concentric channels. The dual channels provide stand-by capacity, allow efficient treatment for large seasonal flow variations, and promote biological nutrient removal with varying oxygen input. Each E.A. Aerotor Plant's aeration channel can indepen- dently discharge to the clarifier and is controlled by its own adjustable weir. Concrete tank constnrction is ideal for in-ground E. A. Aerotor Plant installations. Maintenance costs are lower with concrete tanks because periodic sand blasting or repainting is not required. However, the piant can be constructed with either concrete. fabricated steel, or a combination ofthe two depending on site conditions and materiai costs. Design of Equipment To simplify installation, maintenance, and repairs, Lakeside supplies all equipment and materials within the exterior wail (excluding concrete base. eiectrical lines. Iighting and buried piping). Lakeside uses standard parts whenever available to make repairs even easier. Plant equipment is designed to operate effectiveiy outdoors and withstand harsh weather conditions. Holdingford, MN Dual Channel E. A.

Meeting and Exceeding Industry Standards for More Than 35 YearsI I I I I I T @ Copyright Lakeside Equipment Corporation 1999 I I I I T T t I I T t I I I I I T T T Lakeside Biological Treatment Processes Lakeside has more than 35 years of oxidation ditch experience leading to the development of the present day Closed Loop Reactor (CLR) Process. Derived from the original design by Dr. APasveer of The Research Institute of Public Health (TNO) in the Netherlands, Lakeside has more than 1,500 installations demonsffating its expertise in oxidation ditch technology. Lakeside's CLR Process provides a variety of treatment options for wastewater: . Several operational modes . Nitrogen and phosphorus removal capabilities . An adaptable configuration The CLRProcess is not oniy simple to operate, but it provides maximum flexibility with consistent high quality effluent. Lakeside's staff delivers fuil service from initial concept through the construction stages and subsequent operation of the plant. Lakeside will help plants reliabiy meet and exceed effluent standards by providing equipment that requires minimal operator affention and maintenance. Closed Loop Reactor Configuration The Closed Loop Reactor (CLR) Process describes a process, nof the reactor's shape. As shown, the basin shape can be any one of several including the conventional racetrack, folded U-shape, or concentric multichannel designs. The selection of basin size, control and flow consideration is the key to the CLR Process. - r,;;1.;ft6r,.pr', ic-..ir 2 Closed Loop Reactor Process The CLH Process is known for its stable operation, minimizing the time and efforl operators need for control or adiustment. Conventional Secondary Treatment The CLR Process is a modified form of the extended aeration, complete mix process. The design is based on a single sludge system in a closed loop reactor. The CLR Process consists of one or more reactors with a single feed point for raw wastewater and return siudge. The basic CLR design uses a simple oval configuration, which provides a straight line flow pattern for wastewater between the headworks and the final clarifiers. At the core of the CLR Process is the horizontal, bladed Magna Rotor, which sustains high concentrations of microorganisms in the channei to maintain process control. The system offers simple control of oxygen input through adjustrnent of rotor immersion by raising or lowering a weir. The CLR Process is known for its stabie operation, which minimizes the time and effort operators need to control or adjust the system. Even in cold weather conditions when microorganism activiry is decreased. the process operates effrciently without special attention. A key component to successful operation of the CLR Process is the finai clarifier. Lakeside's Spiraflo Clarifier uses a peripheral-feed tlow technology proven to be superior for effective solids separation. I T I ? I I I I I CLR Process Modifications To provide maximum flexibiiity with two or more reactors, the system can be designed to operate in parallel, series or peak flow mode. Operational conrol is provided by a splitter box arrangement for both the raw wasrewater and return activated sludge (RAS). Slide gates are typically manually operated. For more sophisticated process controi the siide gates can be electrically activated as flow and load conditions change. Parallel Operation E,,rs.nr Raw wastewater and refurn activated siudge are introduced at a single point in a standard racetrack CLR basin. Dissolved oxygen content in the mixed iiquor is maintained evenly throughout. Oxygen is controlled by rotor speed and immersion with the use of an adjustable weir in each reactor. Simple operation can provide high levels of BOD, and TSS removal with effiuentNH3-N levels of 1 mg/l orless. Series Operation E,ru.,r In series operation, raw wastewater and return activated sludge enter Reactor No. 1, flow to Reactor No. 2 and continue over the effluent weir. To maintain anoxic conditions for denirification in Reactor No. 1, rotor speed and immersion are controlled to match oxygen demand. Oxygen levels in Reactor No. 2 are maintained in aerobic conditions through control of individual rotor speeds and immersion. T I I I I t I I t t I I I t I Parallel, series and peak flow operations offer operators maximum flexibility. Peak Flow Hydraulic CapacitY During peak flow conditions, solids from the reactor basin travel rapidly to the final ciarifiers. If this rate exceeds the refurned solids rate, clarifier solids washout will occur. To prevent solids washout. Lakeside's peak flow operation introduces raw wastewater into Reactor No. 2 and return activated sludge into ReactorNo. 1. Return activated siudge from Reactor No. f is then fed to Reactor No. 2 at the same rate it is pumped from the clarifier which maintains the solids balance. During peak flow conditions, the refurn activated sludge is maintained in a highly aerated condition ready to return to normal operation when the peak flow conditions subside. ffi --r*ffi 4 Parallel Operation BNR Total Nitrogen Removal The CLR Process provides the proper environment for both nitrifying and denitrifuing organisms. High MLSS concentration, prolonged hydraulic detention time and long sludge age (20 or more days) are all conducive to nitrification. CLR plants consistently produce effluent NHr-N levels of 1 mg/l or less and can provide total nitrogen levels as low as 5 mg/l. The denitnfication process recovers 50 percent of the total alkalinity lost during the nitrification process and lowers overall energy costs by reducing oxygen requirements. The Closed Loop Reactor Process provides the elements for Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) using nonproprietary designs. Single-Stage Design Although nitrification and denitrification are two separate processes, both can occur simultaneously in a single-channel CLR design. Denitrification develops throughout the reactor in microzones within the sludge floc parricles or through alternate cycles of aerobic and anoxic zones within the reactor. MLE Design In addition to the standard CLR Process operated in series, a corlmon design modification is known as the modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) Process. The MLE Process variation is created by adding a first-stage, mixed-only anoxic reactor prior to the second-stase aerobic CLR Process. Alternating Cycle Design In the cyclic operational mode, raw wastewater and return activated sludge are introduced into ReactorNo. I which operates under anoxic conditions as shown in Stage 1. Mixed liquor then flows into Reactor No. 2 where it is processed under aerobic conditions. After a preset time period, the feed and flow are reversed to feed Reactor No. 2, which is now operated under anoxic conditions (shown in stage 2). Mixed liquorthen flows into Reactor No.I which now operates under aerobic conditions. This operational mode adds more process flexibiliry when designing a new plant orwhen upgrading an existing plant. With single-stage process design, nitrification and denitrification can occur concurrently. Single-Stage Design Alternating Cycle Design Stagr I II T I BNR Phosphorus Removal t I T I I I I I I., I All aerobic biological processes remove some phosphorus. Conventional secondary biological treatment systems use soluble phosphorus from the wastewater to synthesize new bacteriai cells. The phosphorus is removed from the system with the.waste sludge. Typical phosphorus removal from cell synthesis ranges from i0 to 30 percent. Enhanced BNR Phosphorus Removal Enhanced biological phosphorus removal occurs in the CLR Process with the addition of anaerobic and anoxic stages ahead of the aeration basin. The anaerobic stage promotes the growth of phosphorus removing bacteria. By introducing raw influent and returned activated sludge (RAS) into the anaerobic tank, phosphorus removing bacteria release stored phosphorus for energy production and use the energy to take up easily degradable BOD,. When these bacteria pass into the aeration tank, they oxidize the stored BOD, for energy to take up excess phosphorus and synthesize new cells. The stored excess phosphorus in the bacterial cells is removed with the waste sludge which results in a net phosphorus removal from the wastewater. High Removal Efficiency A typical flow diagram for a biological nutrient removal modification of the CLR Process includes an anaerobic stage, anoxic stage and aerobic stage. The BNR process provides biologicai nitrogen as well as phosphorus removal. By recycling mixed liquor from the aerobic to the anoxic stage, biological nitrogen removai occurs and reduces nitrate levels in both the returned activated sludge and plant effluent. With typical average influent phosphorus and BOD, levels of 6-7 mg/l and 200-240 mg/l respectively, the BNR modification can produce an effluent phosphorus level of 1 mgil without chemical addition. Enhanced BNR phosphorus removal occurs in a Closed Loop Reactor with the addition of anaerobic and anoxic stages ahead of the aeration basin BNR Modlfication of CLR Process t I t I I I I l6 IH tf rp ]P rg rg ril ril tEl rEl :fl Chemical Phosphorous Removal Chemical Feed Backup Chemical teatment for phosphorous removai provides the flexibility for increased reliabiliry in meeting effluent requirements. To account for biological upsets that prevent continuous phosphorous removal, backup chemical treafrnent systems should be installed in each BNR plant. Treatment plants faced with stringent effluent phosphorous limitations of 0.5 mg/l or less aiso use chemical treatment for po lishing. Small Plant Process With more complex processes like BNR systems, smaller facilities may choose a simpler process. Chemical treatment systems for primary removal of phosphorous offer an easy-to-operate, reliabie means to consistently meet effluent limitations. Process Components Magna Rotor and Mixer Combination Additional process flexibility and enhanced denitrification capabiiities can be provided through the addition of slow speed propeller mixers in the Closed Loop Reactor. Mixers compiement Lakeside Magna Rotors by maintaining liquid velocity when the rotors are not operating. Mixers can also reduce power costs in unusuaily low flow start-up conditions where oxygen requirements are weil below mixing needs. In denitrification applications, mixer and rotor operation can be cycled to provide improved conditions for denitrification. CLR I T I I T T I I I I I I T t I t Process Components Magna Rotor A vital component of the CLR Process is the horizontal, bladed rotor aerator. The Lakeside Rotor provides oxygen to the biological mass, mixes microorganisms uniformly and adds mixing veiocity to the channel to prevent solids from senling. Constnrcted of rugged materials, the rotor offers reliable operation and high efficiency. Mixing Requirements The Magna Rotor with 3-inch wide blades is the most efficient mixer for Closed Loop Reactor processes. Veiociry control baffles are mounted downstream of each rotor to prevent excess liquid velocity generated by the rotating blades. The baffles direct the flow downward into the basin to create a rolling motion. This turbulent mixing ensures the uniform distribution of oxygen throughout the entire tank contents at all depths. Structural lntegrity The Magna Rotor's design allows a single rotor to span openings up to 31 feet in width. This design can save significant costs by eiiminating additional equipment required to join multiple rotor assembiies. The Lakeside blades are die formed to produce greater stiftress and rigidity. They are avaiiable in rype 304 stainless steel, galvanized steei or painted carbon steel offering a range of corrosion resistance and cost options. Velocity control baffler direct the flow downward creating a rolling motion to enst uniiorm distribution o oxygen throughout the tank. The honzontal tr/agna Rotor is the most efficient mixer for Closed Loop Reactor processes I I l8 2.! 2 <E :o = e oo o o e €G H' F il F il F tr t I I I :t I T t I I I t t Oxygen Transfer Ability The Magna Rotorprovides an oxygen transfer range greater than any other mechanical surface aerator. The Rotor's wide range of oxygen transfer allows the plant operator maximum flexibility to provide oxygen input (horsepower) to match the demand of the system without the need to reverse direction of rotation. Oxygen Transfer Efficiency As with all aeration devices, transfer efficiency varies with transfer rate. With the proper combination of speed and immersion, optimum performance can be maintained to match virtually any set of loading conditions. Optimum performance assures the lowest operating power cost throufhout the life of the equipment. -a r"'2.65' 1.96 I Amtor ollc I vcrttcalttrrbine 'Fqiu minq atedd ot dle Ettdo The chart above illustrates the oxygen delivery range available with the Lakeside Magna Rotor as compared to its competitors when operating at a single speed.

Rotor Covers Lakeside Rotor Covers provide an attractive addition to many CLR plants. Rotor Covers are especiaily usefui for plants with special needs such as: location in an extremeiy cold area where containing rotor spray will reduce icing problems and heat loss, problems with windbiown spray caused by frequent high winds or a piant close to a residential atea. Lakeside rotor covers are constructed of lightweight but sturdy fibergiass paneis. Each panel is hinged for eesy access. The Type E Rotor Cover is significantly larger than other types of covers. Because this larger cover extends beyond the baffle, it provides increased effectiveness in trapping spray and mist. Flotor covers provide a useful and attractive addition to any plant. 10 F F II*I F Hr Ert E@ = il gl 'ii €l lg Et ?l t iI I T I I T ! T T T T T I t I T t Adjustable Weirs The easy-to-adjust weirs control liquid depth within the CLR channel. By adjusting the weir levei and therefore the rotor blade immersion, the operator can contol the oxygen input into the channel to match actual oxygen demands. Excess oxygen wastes power. Lakeside's weir, properly designed with suffrcient iength, minimizes fluctuations in head over the weir. Controls for the motorized weir can be linked to the total plant control system for continuous positive control of dissolved oxygen.Through adjustment of the weir the operator can control oxygen input to match actualoxygen demand. Spiraflo Clarifiers Key to successful operation of the CLR Process is the performance of the secondary clarifier tirat foilows the CLR basin. The Lakeside Spiraflo Clarifier incorporates proven concepts in circulation, sedimentation and separation technoiogy necessary to maintain high quaiiqv effluent standards. The Spiraflo Clarifier empioys a peipherai- feed tlow pattern to make use of the total tank volume for more etTective soiids senling. Waster,vater enters the Spiraflo at the outer diameter of the tank. The flow distributes evenly into the center section near the floor level and then rises towards centraily located effluent weirs. This spiraiing flow pattern around and underthe skirt eiiminates shon circuiting and ensures maximum use of the entire tank volume. The Soiraflo Clarifier uses proven concepts and technology to maintain high quality effluent standards. T T t Complete Plant Control Lakeside offers full-service system integration for complete plant control in addition to offering D.O. and process conffol systems for the CLR plants. The Lakeside project system manager wiil work with a group of specialists using the latest technology to provide a reliable, cost-effective control solution to meet your project's specific needs. For the complete plant design we can assist the design consuitant with system process and instrumentation diagrams, and SCADA and PLC specifications and block diagrams- lAe PI-C control system for the CLR process is readily adapted to any project. It can be expanded to include chart recorders, alarm annunciators, control switches and graphic displays for any level of sophistication. Each control system soiution combines current technology with Lakeside's thirty-tive years of CLR process experience. It continuously monitors and adjusts the operation of the biological reactors to enhance process performance and reduce power costs and equipment operating hours. CLR control panels are SCADA ready for simple connection to existing or future systems. #*,#ESIDE A plant SCADA system monitors and controls the various plant processes while storing relevant data. This real-time data along with manually-entered Iaboratory data is used to generate state-required reports on plant performance in water quaiity and accountabiiiry. Trending of all process variabies is also available. The SCADA system tracks run times and starts and stops of all connected equipment tbr use with preventive maintenance and trouble shooting programs. This system can also provide complete alarm monitoring tor local viewins and/or aiarm notification to remote location. Customized graphic dispiay screens provide a user triendly en- vironment for the operator. Also, with modem cxpa- biiities. Lakeside's technology and process expens are available to help plant personnei with process optimization. The monitorinq, controi and additionai intbrmation avaiiable with the SCADA system enable the operator to reduce time and paper work whiie maintaining peak plant perfbrrnance. lI I I t I ?

Rock Gardens Project, Colorado Closed Loop Reactor (CLR) Process - E.A. Aerotor Dear Mr. Zancanella: I would like to thank you for your request for a preliminary design for a treatment s.vstem for the HLazy F Project in Colorado. For this application Lakeside is recommending one (1) E.A. Aerotor Plant Model l2l35l\/frv1. The E.A. Aerotor Model 12135 ts designed to accornmodate an average daily flow of 0.025 mgd. E.A. AEROTOR Our E.A. Aerotor (EAA) plant incorporates a circular reactor equipped with our 42-rnch diameter honzontal brush Magrra Rotors. The reactor is wrapped around a Spiraflo penpheral feed final clarifier. The reactor liquid level is controlled by an effluent weir, which permits control of the rotor blade immersion and subsequent oxygen delivery. The E.A. Aerotor can provrde effective secondary biologicai fteatment with BODs and TSS reductions of 92 to 98o/o. Effluent BOD' and TSS concentrations of less than 10 mg/l are the norm for CLR systems. The hydrauiic detention time provrded in the reactor, along with the excellent mrxing capabilities of the Magna Rotors makes it possible to carry MLSS concentrations from 1,500 to 5,000 mg/I. Food to mrcroorganism ratio is low, ranglng from 0.03 to 0. 1 lbs. BODs/dayllb VSS. This provides a large microbiai mass in the reactor so that vanations in loading and shock loads are readily absorbed by the system. Nitnfication of ammonia and organic nitrogen is virfually complete with normal operation. Effluent ammonia levels of 1 mg/l or less are corlmon. With high solids concentrations in the reactor, the process provrdes a sludge age of more than 30 days. Such a iong sludge retention time allows for complete nitnfication of ammonia. When operated properiy, virnraily compiete nitrification of ammonia and organic nirrogen can be accomplished throughout the year regardless of the air and wastewater temperature. The E.A. Aerotor can also be configured to allow for denitnfication when total nitrogen or nitrate removai is required. Denitnfication can also be used to recover alkaliniry iost dunng nitnfication and for energy conservation, which resuits in cost savings for the Eeatment faciiiry. OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS To supply the oxygen requirements for the E.A. Aerotor piant we have selected one (1) S-ft long Magna Rotor per unit, with 4-ft of 304 stainiess steel biades and7.5 hp drive. I I I I T I I I t T I I I I t I T I T Rock Gardens Colorado December 20 2002 Loadings were determined using 250 mgll BOD, 250 mgll TSS, and 29 mgll TKN at the average day flow of 0.025 mgd. The design Actual Oxygen Transfer Requirement (AOTR) for the average day is 106 lb of oxygen per day. AOTR is then converted to Standard Oxygen Transfer Requirement (SOTR) of 229 lb of oxygen per day using an alpha value of 0.90, beta value of 0.95, a theta value of 1.024, operating dissolved oxygen concentrationof 2mgll, and an altitude of 7,000 ft above sea level. At the average day 0.025 mgd design conditions, the Magna Rotors would operate at approximateiy 8.4 inches immersion at 55 rpm. VELOCITY GONTROL BAFFLES The Lakeside Magna Rotor is the most efficient mixer there is for a closed loop reactor. Therefore, bulk liquid velocities can reach over 3 fl/sec in some cases. Velocity control baffles are used to convert excess bulk liquid velocity to more turbulent mixing by increasing the vorticity component of the Reynolds Number (Re). The velocity control baffles are adjustable from l5 to 60 degrees from horizontal. ROTOR COVERS To elimrnate spmy in the rotor area, we include for each rotor our Type "8" fiberglass rotor cover described in Bulletin 1411. In addition to minimizing mrsting and spray from the rotor, this insures a clean working environment for the operator, which increases the likelihood that proper servicing of the rotor wiil take place, even on a windy day. The cover also reduces heat loss during winter operation. Our rotor covers are built in hinged sections that can be lifted as shown for ease of inspection. ln addition, the rotor covers extend downstream of the flow control baffle. EFFLUENT WEIR ASSEMBLY Each Rotor is designed to operate with an approximate 1.5-inch allowance for diumal aeration basin vanations wrthout overloading the motor. The suggested Magna Rotor dnves are sized to handle this situation. To provide adjustment of Magna Rotor immersion we are recommending the use of a 2-ft weir gate assembiy. FINAL CL.ARIFICATION We have sized the final clanfier to have a hydraulic loading rate of 221gailons per square foot per day at the daily average flow of 0.025 mgd wrth a hydraulic detention time of 9.8 hours at the flow of 0.025 mgd. The Spiraflo Clarifierwiil have a 12-ft diameter with a l?-ft. side water depth. The Lakeside Spiraflo Clanfier has a hydraulic efficiency of 2 to 4 times that of a center feed cianfier. This hydrauiic supenoriry has been the key to the operating success of the over 1,500 Lakeside CLR plants worldwide. When compared to conventional center feed clanfiers, the Lakeside Spiraflo Clanfier rnstailation costs are rypicaily lower. This is primariiy due to the fact that the Lakeside Spiratlo C1anfier, although siightlymore costlybased on equipment only, can be easily installed in a circuiar tank and does not require cantilevered concrete or steei weir troughs as typrcally uuiized with a center feed design. Our pncing for the Lakeside Spiraflo Clarifier also includes the weir troughs, weirs, and baffles, which rypicaily must be added to the pnce of a center, feed clanfier. SLUDGE HOLDING TANK Based on the 0.025 mgd average flow design critena for this appiication, the required sludge storage capaciry of 20 days is approximately 18,500 gailons. The siudge holding tank can be constructed as part of the common wall structure of the E.A. Aerotor Plant. The hoiding tank would have an approximate dimension of 15-ft width x 15-ft length x 11.O-ft sidervater depth.
