2015 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report – (CMAR)
The Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) has been an annual self-evaluation-reporting
requirement for publicly owned wastewater treatment plants since 1987. The CMAR program was
revised in 1992, in 2005, and in 2014. Annual submittal of an electronic CMAR form no later than
August 31st for 2015 is required under Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 208 – Compliance
Maintenance.
The purpose of the CMAR is to evaluate the wastewater treatment system for problems or
deficiencies. Management, operation and maintenance activities are described. Owners identify
proposed actions to prevent violations of WPDES permits and water quality degradation. The
CMAR program encourages actions that:
Promote the owners’ awareness and responsibility for wastewater conveyance and
treatment needs.
Maximize the useful life of wastewater treatment systems through improved operation &
maintenance.
Initiate formal planning, design and construction to prevent WPDES permit violations.
There are ten sections in the CMAR that apply to the Racine Wastewater Utility. Letter grades (A,
B, C, D, F) are assigned to each section denoting compliance and performance. Section grades of
C, D, and F require comments in the report. Section grades D & F require an action plan on the
part of the Utility to correct deficiencies. An overall grade point average less than 3.00 requires an
action response on the part of the Utility as well. The Utility’s overall grade point average was
4.0. The report submitted in 2016 is for calendar year 2015.
CMAR Section Summaries and Grades for 2015:
Influent Flow and Loadings: Grade A
This section looks at plant influent loadings and design parameters to determine adequate
plant capacity to treat incoming wastewater.
Effluent Quality BOD: Grade A
This section reviews plant performance and its ability to meet WPDES permit
requirements.
Effluent Quality TSS: Grade A
This section reviews plant performance and its ability to meet WPDES permit
requirements.
Effluent Quality Ammonia: Grade A
This section reviews plant performance and its ability to meet WPDES permit
requirements.
Effluent Quality Phosphorus: Grade A
This section reviews plant performance and its ability to meet WPDES permit
requirements.

The collection system grade is highly influenced by the intensity of rainfall events. Many sewer
system overflows (SSO) in the past were the result of high intensity rain events which exceeded
collection system capacity. The Utility experienced no SSO’s in 2015
The Utility has constructed underground storage basins at Grove Avenue, Ohio Street and
Mt. Pleasant Street in the past decade. The Utility will continue its efforts to eliminate safety site
overflows in the collection system. Studies and investigations will continue to better document
events that occur to refine the engineered solution. The Utility will continue to utilize engineering
consultants to televise its collection system and perform lining and replacements. The Village of
Mt. Pleasant is working to reduce infiltration by replacing sewer laterals in their community. The
Village of Sturtevant is also identifying locations of I&I and addressing them. The Capital
Improvement Program will be prioritized to address the worst problem areas first to minimize
damage due to basement backups.

PROGRAM AUDIT (CMOM) – 2015
The USEPA and WDNR proposed CMOM regulations define CMOM Program Audits as follows:
USEPA: If a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) that discharges to Waters of the United States occurs from
your collection system during the term of this permit, you must conduct an audit appropriate to the size of
the system and the number of overflows. A report of the audit shall be submitted evaluating your CMOM
and its compliance with this subsection, including its deficiencies and steps to respond to them.
WDNR: Annual Self-Auditing of your CMOM Program to ensure above components are being
implemented, evaluated, and re-prioritized as needed.
The Racine Wastewater Utility annually prepares and tracks various programs for interceptor and
collection system improvements, including system component replacement or upgrades. Goals are set for
long-term and short-term projects with an assessment made at year end to determine the Utility’s
performance in reaching the goals that are set. The Utility’s annual capital improvement plan, as well as
preventive maintenance programs, is included in defining the annual goals.
SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOWS
Number of Overflows
The Utility did not experience any overflows in 2015.

COMMUNICATIONS The USEPA and WDNR proposed CMOM regulations define communications as follows:
USEPA: The permittee should communicate on a regular basis with interested parties on the
implementation and performance of its CMOM program. The communication system should allow
interested parties to provide input to the permittee as the CMOM program is developed and implemented.
WDNR: Not addressed.
The Racine Wastewater Utility provides wastewater treatment for eight satellite communities as shown
below:
1. City of Racine
2. Village of Mt. Pleasant
3. Village of Caledonia
4. Village of Sturtevant
5. Village of Elmwood Park
6. Village of North Bay
7. Village of Wind Point
8. Town of Somers KR Utility District
The Racine Wastewater Utility, the City of Racine and above listed satellite communities established the
Racine Area Intergovernmental Sanitary Sewer Service, Revenue Sharing, Cooperation, and Settlement
Agreement. The Utility communicates on a regular basis with these communities in regards to system
capacity as well as infiltration and inflow reduction. In 2009, a Technical Advisory Committee made up
of the contributing communities met and formulated plans to address system deficiencies.
MONTHLY COMMISSION MEETINGS The Racine Wastewater Utility is governed by an eleven person Commission. Representatives include
the Racine Mayor, six representatives appointed by the Racine Mayor and confirmed by the Racine
Common Council, two representatives from Mt. Pleasant, one representative from Caledonia, and one
from the outlying community with the largest amount of allocated treatment capacity other than Racine,
Mt. Pleasant or Caledonia.
The Commission meets on a monthly basis to decide administrative issues related to finance, personnel,
operations, SSO reduction and elimination, interceptor system improvements, and other administrative
issues. In addition to the Utility Commissioners, the Wastewater Utility General Manager, Chief of
Operations, Superintendent, and Department Supervisors typically attend the Commission meetings. The
Commission meetings are open to the public and local newspapers routinely attend. Any SSO events or
sewer capacity issues are presented and discussed at the Commission meeting.
SSO REPORTING Sanitary sewer overflows that enter the storm sewer system or open water are included in a report that is
transmitted to the WDNR conforming to the Racine Wastewater Utility’s WPDES permit. Overflows are
reported to all parties in the Utility chain of communication, WDNR, and affected stakeholders. The
Field Operations Supervisor is responsible for the verbal notification of the WDNR within 24 hours of an
overflow event and prepares the documentation for a written report. A written response is prepared by the
Field Operations Supervisor for submittal to the WDNR within five days of the event with review by the
Superintendent, Chief of Operations, and General Manager. The SSO event is also discussed at the
monthly Commission meeting.
25
ANNUAL CMOM PROGRAM AUDIT CMOM program elements will also be addressed on an annual basis as part of the Utility’s CMAR
reporting to the WDNR. The CMAR and CMOM Program Audit are included in the Utility’s Annual

Description of Plant Process & Equipment
DESCRIPTION OF PLANT PROCESS & EQUIPMENT
The Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant is a conventional activated sludge plant with chemical
phosphorus precipitation, focused pulse (pretreatment) of secondary sludge, anaerobic sludge
digestion, belt filter press dewatering and ultraviolet disinfection of effluent.
FLOW EQUALIZATION BASINS
The Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant flow equalization basins are designed to reduce flow to
the treatment plant during periods of high
influent flow. Flows exceeding 108 MGD
(million gallons per day) will be directed to
the flow equalization basins. Wastewater
stored in the flow equalization basins is
reintroduced into the normal wastewater
stream at the option of the operator. Influent
wastewater which is directed to the basin can
be chlorinated. This will provide odor
control for stored wastewater and disinfection
for any amount that overflows the basins.
Prior to entering the equalization basins, wastewater is screened by mechanically cleaned bar
screens. Wastewater in the basins is returned to the treatment flow scheme by gravity and by
pumping. It can be returned to the headworks for full treatment, the aeration basins for
secondary treatment, or to the digesters for sludge handling. Both equalization basins are 200
feet in diameter and have a storage capacity of 2.7 million gallons each.
FLOW
The wastewater flow enters the headworks of the plant through 84” and 72” diameter lines. The
design average flow is 36 MGD. From the headworks junction chamber, two 54” diameter pipes
direct the flow into the preliminary treatment building.
MECHANICALLY CLEANED BAR SCREENS AND WASHING PRESSES
The preliminary treatment building contains four (4) bar screens each with a rated maximum
capacity of 35.0 MGD. The bar spacing between screen elements is one-half inch. Coarse
sewage material is captured and removed from the flow to prevent plugging of pumps and
unnecessary wear on downstream equipment. Each bar screen has a washing press to reduce
organic content, moisture content and volume of screenings.
VORTEX GRIT REMOVAL EQUIPMENT
Two (2) vortex grit removal units rated at 70 MGD each remove coarse abrasive inorganic
material continuously from the screened wastewater flow.
Diversion Structure – High Flow
29
GRIT CONCENTRATORS
Two (2) grit concentrators remove water and organics from the material pumped to them from
the vortex grit removal system.
PRIMARY INFLUENT CHANNEL BLOWERS
Two (2) Hoffman blowers (100 HP) with a capacity of 2500 CFM. These blowers keep
suspended solids in suspension until the flow reaches the primary clarifiers.
CHEMICAL FEED AND STORAGE FOR PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL
Phosphorus must be removed from wastewater to eliminate a major source of the primary
element required for the growth of algae in Lake Michigan. Three 12,000 gallon fiberglass tanks
store ferric chloride which is used to form insoluble ferric phosphates with the soluble
phosphates in the raw wastewater. Ferric chloride can be fed before primary clarifiers, after
primary clarifiers, and prior to final clarifiers. Total storage capacity equals 36,000 gallons.
PRIMARY CLARIFIERS
There are a total of 12 primary clarifiers. Six clarifiers are considered west bank and the other
six east bank clarifiers. Four West bank clarifiers are 137.5 ft. long by 34.5 ft. wide by 10.5 ft.
deep. The other two West bank clarifiers are 122 ft. long by 28 ft. wide by 10.5 ft. deep. The
East bank of primary clarifiers has four clarifiers 120 ft. long by 38 ft. wide by 8 ft. deep. The
other two East bank clarifiers are 128 ft. long by 30 ft. wide by 10.5 ft. deep. Total primary
clarifier capacity is 3.7 million gallons. Average detention time in the primary clarifiers is 3.6
hours at 25 MGD. Mechanical scrapers push sludge to sumps for removal to digesters. The
scrapers also push scum to troughs for removal. The scum is then pumped into the digesters.
ANAEROBIC DIGESTERS
Four-one million gallon capacity digesters. Sludge from the primary clarifiers and thickened
waste activated sludge (TWAS) is pumped to the digesters. Mechanical mixers and heat
exchangers for heating are provided. Temperature is maintained at 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Through anaerobic bacterial action, sludge is decomposed and converted into a more stable
product. Methane (biogas) is produced as a by-product of this decomposition. Biogas is used as
a fuel supply for large internal combustion engines and boilers. Approximately 200,000 cubic
feet of biogas is produced daily.
HOLDING TANK FOR BELT FILTER PRESS OPERATION
One fixed cover tank with a volume of 552,000 gallons. After primary digestion, sludge is
transferred to the holding tank. Digested solids are removed from this tank and pumped to the
belt filter press operation for dewatering.
30
GAS STORAGE SPHERE
The gas produced in the digesters as a by-product of the digestion process consists mainly of
methane and carbon dioxide. It is used as fuel for the engine driven blowers and in the boilers
for building and sludge heating. Since gas production is not uniform in rate, a gas storage sphere
is provided for storage of gas produced at rates in excess of usage. Stored gas is removed and
used during periods when demand is greater than production. The sphere is 40 ft. in diameter,
providing storage at 50 psi for 200,000 cubic feet of digester gas. If gas production exceeds
capacity, the gas is routed and burned by a safety device.
AERATION TANKS
The aeration tanks are two pass tanks, each pass measuring 168 ft. by 30 ft. by 15 ft. The total
volume of five aeration tanks equals 5.65
million gallons. The aeration system can be
operated in several modes. Currently the
conventional activated sludge process is being
used. It consists mainly of microbiological
organisms (bugs) and organic material
(wastewater) that enter the aeration tanks.
The contents are mixed by the introduction of
air through 10,000 (9 inch diameter) fine
bubble diffuser discs located along the length
of each tank. The air also serves as a supply
of oxygen for the microorganisms which feed
and multiply on organic material contained in the wastewater. The resulting mixed liquor is
transferred from the aeration tanks to the final clarifier tanks for settling of biosolids (mixture of
solids and microorganisms) and return of microorganisms to the aeration tanks.
AERATION CONTROL BUILDINGS
These buildings house the controls for the pumps and equipment involved with the aeration
system.
AIR BLOWERS
THREE ENGINE DRIVEN BLOWERS:
#2 Engine and Blower - Engine: 426 HP
Blower Capacity: 9,600 CFM at 8.5 psig
#3 Engine and Blower - Engine: 675 HP
Blower capacity: 15,000 CFM at 8.5 psig
#5 Engine and Blower - Engine: 426 HP
Blower Capacity: 9,600 CFM at 8.5 psig
TWO MOTOR DRIVEN BLOWERS
#1 Motor HP: 500
Blower Capacity: 11,000 CFM at 8.5 psig
#4 Motor HP: 300
Blower Capacity: 6,900 CFM at 8.5 psig
Aeration Tank
31
The blowers provide air for the aeration tanks. All air for the low-pressure system is filtered by a
combination electrostatic and mechanical air filter. Accessory equipment includes silencers on
air intake and discharge for each blower, and combination silencers and heat recovery units on
the engine exhausts. Heat is recovered from engines by circulating the engine jacket water
through heat exchangers in the building and sludge heating system. The engines can be operated
on biogas produced by the treatment plant or natural gas.
FINAL CLARIFIERS Nine Clarifiers: Three 85 feet in diameter, three 90 feet in diameter, and three 93 feet in
diameter. Total volume equals 5,930,000
gallons. Detention time is 5.1 hours at 25
MGD. The activated sludge produced in
the aeration tanks settles in the final tanks.
The settled sludge is drawn through
rotating collector tubes and connected
piping system by pumps, which return the
major portion to the aeration tanks.
Because a balance must be maintained
between the amount of microorganisms
held in the secondary treatment plant and
the food supply in the primary effluent, the
excess waste activated sludge (WAS) is
pumped to the primary tanks or gravity belt
thickeners. The clarified water or secondary plant effluent is conveyed to the U.V. system for
disinfection.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT (U.V.) AND HYPOCHLORITE DISINFECTION
Two U.V. systems are provided at the Racine facility. Ultraviolet light is used to provide
disinfection of final clarifier effluent and a sodium hypochlorite system is used to provide
disinfection of wastewater diverted to the flow equalization basins.
The sodium hypochlorite system is used to service the flow equalization facility. Chlorination is
provided for odor control of wastewater temporarily stored in the equalization basins and for
disinfection of wastewater which may overflow the equalization basins. Chlorination is provided
at the equalization basin bar screen effluent channel and at the lift station force main discharge
structure. Sodium hypochlorite application to the return activated sludge (RAS) system is also
provided. Sodium hypochlorite is stored in two tanks located in the liquid chlorine building.
Liquid sodium hypochlorite solution is delivered to the various points of application by chemical
feed pumps located in the liquid chlorine building. The hypochlorite feed pumps are flow paced.
DECHLORINATION SYSTEM
Sodium bisulfite is used for dechlorination at the wastewater treatment facility. Liquid sodium
bisulfite is stored in one tank located in the preliminary treatment building. Bisulfite is
transferred to the point of application by chemical metering pumps and enters the equalization
basins’ effluent through diffusers. Dechlorination of equalization basin effluent is provided at
the dechlorination structure located downstream from the two equalization basins. For
dechlorination of equalization basin effluent, the bisulfite pump is flow paced.
Final Clarifier Weir
32
NINETY-SIX AND SEVENTY-TWO INCH DIAMETER OUTFALLS
Two outfall lines (72” and 96”) extend 500 feet out into the lake. There are three 36” openings
at the end of the 72” pipe and three 48” openings at the end of the 96” pipe for discharge
purposes.
BELT FILTER PRESSES
Six – two meter presses. The continuous stage belt filter presses consists of two polyester cloth
belt sets one above another that maneuver through a series of pressure rollers. Sludge is
conditioned with a liquid polymer and is fed onto a gravity drainage section of the belts.
Following gravity drainage, the sludge is distributed on the lower pressure belt. After an
additional small section of gravity drainage, the concentrated sludge comes in contact with the
upper belt. The two belts form a wedge which gradually forces removal of water. The water
removed (filtrate) is collected in drainage pans and combined with gravity drainage water and
recycled back to the head of the plant. Pressure is increased as the belts pass through rollers of
decreasing size. The final three rollers form an S-shaped configuration which generates a shear
force and creates additional water drainage. Dewatered sludge is hauled by truck to ultimate
disposal. The filter belts are continuously washed with water at high pressure.
GRAVITY BELT THICKENERS
The two gravity belt thickeners are used to dewater waste activated sludge (WAS) from the
secondary activated sludge treatment process. Polymer is added to the WAS to help the
dewatering process.
Outfall Weir
33
FINAL EFFLUENT SYSTEM
Three final effluent pumps are located in the aeration pipe gallery. Final effluent is pumped to
the yard hydrants and street hydrants. There are also two cooling water pumps installed in the
aeration pipe gallery to pump screened final effluent to the engine jacket water cooling heat
exchangers.
One F.E. Pump: 200 gpm at 243 ft. head.
One Cooling Water Pump: 550 gpm at 55 ft. head.
One Auxiliary Engine: (use at time of power failure)
Pump: 550 gpm at 50 ft. head.
TANK DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The tank drainage system consists of the drain system for all the treatment units and the
bypassing arrangements for these units. Two tank drainage wells and five drainage pumps are
provided.
Five Tank Drainage Pumps: 700 gpm at 30 ft. TDH
PIPE GALLERY
Connection between primary plant and secondary plant. All necessary systems run through the
pipe gallery.
PLANT WATER SYSTEM
This system provides a physical break between the incoming city water and the plant water
distribution system.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
Hot water for space heating is provided by one continuous loop system. The system is provided
with four multiple pass, horizontal fire tube boilers with five square feet of heating surface per
rated boiler horsepower. Two of the four units can be fired by biogas or natural gas. Air
circulation systems have been installed for space heating and cooling, odor control, and removal
of dangerous gases. At critical areas or areas where air handling units are not installed, unit
heaters are provided to heat the space, and exhaust fans with separate air intake louvers provide
ventilation.
34
EMERGENCY GENERATOR
The Wastewater Treatment Plant has an emergency generator that can operate the plant
independently of WE Energies. In the event of a power failure the plant will continue to function
and maintain permit limits. The generator has a capacity of 2000 KW.

Flow & Precipitation Trends
The graph above shows 26 years of rainfall and flow trends at the Racine Wastewater Plant.
Rainfall can have an influence on peak events and increases in annual flow trends. However,
economic factors and industrial water usage can also have an impact on baseline flows at the
Wastewater Plant. In 2008, the Racine Water Utility stopped sending its daily sludge loadings to
the plant, which resulted in increased treatment capacity at the plant and a decrease in annual
plant flow. This trend can be seen on the graph as having some of the lowest annual flows in a
20 year period. The country has also suffered a severe recession in the past few years with a
decrease in domestic use of wastewater and water from residential customers as well.
The decade from 2000 to 2010 is the wettest decade on record in the State of Wisconsin. It also
contained unprecedented peak rain events in terms of inches per hour and inches per day. The
summers of 1990 and 1993 were extremely wet in the Midwestern states. As can be seen on the
graph, the Racine Wastewater Plant exceeded 10 BG (billion gallons) per year. These concerns,
along with some peak rain events, caused the Utility to prepare a facilities plan in 1996 to ensure
that the Wastewater Plant had adequate treatment capabilities to treat increased average day flow
and peak day flow. As can be seen in the plant flow for 1997 and 1998, plant flow exceeded the
peaks of 1990 and 1993, further reinforcing the need for more treatment capacity. The years of
2000 and 2001 continued to have flows over 10 BG/year. The Wastewater General Manager was
forced to invoke a sewer moratorium for new construction until an agreement could be entered
into with all of the local flow communities. A sewer agreement was signed in the spring of 2002
to address treatment capacity issues at the Wastewater Plant and to address known deficiencies in
the collection system getting flows to the plant.

While the rainfall graph shows peaks and valleys in the decade of 2000 (wettest on record in the
state), plant flows relaxed to under 9 BG/year (2006-2009) and most recently near 7 BG/year
(2010-2011). Year 2012 was the worst drought in the Midwest in decades. The 2012
wastewater plant flows were measured at 5.7 BG/year. These flows are nearly half of the yearly
flows experienced just 10 years earlier. In 2005, the Utility experienced a heavy rain event that
led to an SSO to the Root River in west Racine. The enforcement branch of the DNR issued
Racine a Notice of Violation and ordered that Racine install a storage basin to capture the
quantity of rainfall that was discharged to the river in 2005. The resulting project is referred to
as the Grove Avenue Storage Basin.
As a result of a 40 year storm that occurred in August of 2007 spreading over 6 inches of rain in
a 36 hour period, the Utility was forced to study and address the concerns related to this event.
Widespread surcharging occurred in the sewer system across the entire City as a result of this
rainfall. Several homes experienced basement backups, even though SSO’s were allowed in the
collection system to relieve the greater than normal rainfall. A subset of the Wastewater
Commission was formed called the TAC, or Technical Advisory Committee, to study and
evaluate issues surrounding the 40 year rain event that occurred. A draft final report of its
findings was submitted to the full Commission in October of 2010. Costs of Service Studies
(COSS) were commissioned to evaluate the costs and how they would be applied to the local
Sewer Service Recipient (SSR) Parties of the agreement.
In May of 2014, the Racine area experienced an intense rain storm over a short amount of time.
This storm produced a number of basement backups in specific areas of the City. These areas
included Roosevelt and Kinzie, Spring Street near Dombrowski and Graham and areas in and
around Horlick Field. The Utility is currently studying alternatives to eliminate basement
backups and property damage during intense events such as the one in May of 2014.
Historic trends are an important element in the planning for long range projects in the wastewater
industry. This discussion serves to place historical perspective on the need for a sewer
agreement and plant expansion that occurred in 2002 – 2005. Recent trends and economic
conditions in the local area show roughly a 20% drop in wastewater flows as compared to the
previous average over twenty years (say 7 BG/year vs. 9 BG/year).

Wastewater Flow Trends
Wastewater plant flow can be cyclical. The flow rates that have been used for budgeted flow over
the past few years are very close to the six-year average of actual flow. The actual plant flow in 1998
thru 2001 was on average higher resulting in higher revenues than what was budgeted. This trend led
to a concept called the True-up to be incorporated into the April 2002 Racine Area Intergovernmental
Sanitary Sewer Service, Revenue Sharing, Cooperation and Settlement Agreement. The concept was
that the Utility should no longer profit from abnormally high flows, due to wetter than normal years,
and that any additional revenue should be put back into the rate formula to offset rate increases
instead of building reserves within the utility. Conversely if the flows went below normal and a
deficit of flow was realized, all parties to the agreement should contribute additional money through
the rates to offset the deficit. This concept was negotiated into the contract with all parties in
agreement. The Utility is made whole by making sure that it can stay in business and positive returns
on investments are returned to the ratepayer or customers of the Utility.
Recent History
Over the five years, starting in 2004, the Utility experienced a wetter period and higher flows
resulting in an excess of revenues over budgeted expectations, which caused negative true-up and
decreased revenue needs to the rate models from 2006 through 2010. Revenues from 2011 to 2014
were lower because of lower than expected flows reaching the plant. The rates for 2015 were
influenced by a surplus of $233,997 from the 2013 fiscal year resulting from reduced expenditures
and somewhat lesser revenues. The previous year a deficit of $885,344 negatively affected the rates.
This surplus of $233,997 decreased the need for revenues in 2015. Ratepayers saw about 2% to 10%
decrease in sewer rates from the previous year. The true up serves as a self-correcting financial tool
that over a period of time will insure that the ratepayer is treated fairly and that the Utility will not
incur huge losses or gains that could impact its financial viability.

BIOSOLID METAL ANALYSIS 2015
RACINE WASTEWATER UTILITY
High Quality Sludge is sludge that meets the monthly average pollutant concentration limits established by the WDNR in NR
204 (Domestic Sewage Sludge Management). Sludge that meets all of the pollutant concentration limits listed is exempt from
cumulative loading limits for metals where sludge is land applied. Racine biosolid metal concentrations dramatically decreased
after 1984 when the Industrial Pretreatment Program went into effect. Since 1985 Racine biosolids have been considered High
Quality Sludge. This is important as the Utility currently applies these biosolids to farmland.

Effluent Ammonia Summary
AMMONIA
It is necessary to remove or reduce the amount of ammonia in the final effluent in order to
protect the receiving water. In the un-ionized form, ammonia is toxic to the aquatic life in
Lake Michigan. In the aeration system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, the nitrifying bacteria
reduce the ammonia to nitrite and nitrate. The pH of the final effluent is monitored closely and
pH is reported as a time weighted average (TWA) of all of the daily pH data. The ammonia limit
varies based on the daily TWA pH because at higher pH, ammonia is more toxic to the biotic
make-up of the ecosystem. The treatment plant received a limit for seasonal ammonia in its
2015 WPDES Permit. The limit covers a six month seasonal period from November through
April.

Ferric Chloride Summary
FERRIC CHLORIDE SUMMARY
Ferric chloride is used for phosphorus removal. The iron ion binds with the phosphorus and
settles out the phosphorus in the primary clarifiers.
Ferric chloride is an iron salt that is an industrial
scale commodity. The ferric chloride used at the
treatment plant is a purified byproduct of the steel
industry. Because of this, when the steel industry
experiences an economic downturn, the price of
ferric chloride for the treatment plant increases due to
a shortage of supply. A secondary cause of price
fluctuation is the amount of ferric chloride exported
to China
for use in
their fertilizers. As the amount of phosphorus in the
influent to the plant increases, the amount of ferric
chloride added also increases. The result is an
increase in the amount of sludge processed at the
plant. Low flows at the wastewater plant result in
increased ferric chloride dosage due to the higher
concentration of phosphorus in the wastewater. Plant
staff added pump, piping, and metering controls for
phosphorus removal in the final clarifiers.

Sodium Hypochlorite Summary
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SUMMARY
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) is added to the equalization basins for pathogen destruction
(disinfection). NaOCL is also used to kill filamentous
bacteria (that hinder settling) in the secondary treatment
system. Sodium hypochlorite can be considered a
solution of dissolved chlorine gas in sodium hydroxide.
Its character is that of common household bleach or
"swimming pool" chlorine; however, sodium
hypochlorite for wastewater treatment usually is found in
12.5 % concentration. Chlorine is easily released from
the sodium hypochlorite due to the breaking of weak
ionic bonds with its base molecule, sodium hydroxide.
Piping material, valve selection, seal materials, pressure
relief, and stagnation control, are a few design, safety, and
operational measures to consider with the use of NaOCL
systems. Off-gassing occurs with sodium hypochlorite due to common decomposition of the
chemical, resulting in diminished potency and requiring the chemical to be replenished for
effective disinfection.

Sodium Bisulfite Summary
SODIUM BISULFITE SUMMARY
Sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) is added to the equalization basin effluent to remove chlorine that
was added for pathogen control (disinfection). The
plant has a maximum daily limit of <37 parts per
billion (ppb) for chlorine. NaHSO3 is a clear, to
colorless to light yellow solution with a distinctive
odor. Sodium bisulfite is essentially very fine
crystallized sodium granules that are dissolved in a
bisulfite solution. Sodium bisulfite acts as a reducing
agent for purifying and destroying residual chlorine.
NaHSO3 used for wastewater treatment usually is
purchased at about 37% concentration. The solution
is acid reactive and an oxidizer when in contact with
air. Because sodium bisulfite is very reactive with
sodium hypochlorite, caution must be taken when using the two chemicals together and when
accepting and receiving deliveries of the two chemicals.

Biogas Monthly Production and Use
The Racine Wastewater Utility has been using biogas in its operations for over 50 years. Biogas
is a bi-product of decomposition from organic material in the digester operations. Biogas makeup
is approximately 60% methane and has a Btu value of 600 Btu/ft3 compared to 1000 Btu/ft3 for
natural gas. The Utility strives to make use of the biogas in the most cost efficient manner to
reduce overall energy needs. The biogas can be used in engines for aeration or boilers for
digester and building heat. Digester operation requires temperature maintained at 95o
Fahrenheit. Heat exchangers were installed to recover heat from the engines to preheat boiler
water to reduce energy used to heat digesters and buildings. Future goals are to reclaim more
energy from wastewater operations and to work towards the goal of energy independence
sometime in the future.

Laboratory Services LABORATORY SERVICES
The laboratory at the Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant is a WDNR certified laboratory,
providing analytical support for regulatory compliance and plant process control, as well as
monitoring of samples for the Industrial Pretreatment and Hauled Waste programs. Certification
is maintained with annual proficiency test samples.
The laboratory staff is composed of a Laboratory Director, four analysts and the Pretreatment
Inspector who works in the lab when needed. The Laboratory Director is responsible for all
laboratory functions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) for each method, updating methods as
needed, entering lab results for DNR monthly eDMR reports and annual electronic land spreading
report. The Laboratory Director also is responsible for the administration of the Industrial
Pretreatment Program, acting as the Pretreatment Coordinator and fills the role of laboratory
safety director. Laboratory staff responsibilities include wet chemistry, bacterial analysis, metals
analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), computer evaluations of industrial discharges and
providing data for various WDNR and EPA reports. The Pretreatment Inspector performs all
industrial pretreatment inspections, dental inspections for the Mercury Pollution Minimization
Program, and for contacting all area Food Service Establishment (FSE) to survey them about Fats
Oils and Grease (FOG) program management. All staff undergoes regular training to enhance their
analytical skills and wastewater related knowledge. All laboratory personnel have a bachelor
degree in biology, chemistry or environmental science and are WDNR certified in the laboratory
subcategory as well as various other wastewater subcategories.
The laboratory staff performs process and quality control analyses, industrial user charge analysis,
waste strength information from outlying communities that discharge to the treatment plant,
analysis of hauled waste discharged at the treatment plant and analysis of industrial pretreatment
samples taken by the field crew. The laboratory collects monthly low-level influent and ultra-low
level final effluent mercury data for Mercury Pollution Minimization Plan (PMP) status reporting.
The plant has a final effluent mercury limit of 5.8 ng/L. Mercury samples are sent to a private
Wisconsin certified lab for analysis. The laboratory sends final effluent samples to a certified lab
for whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing. The samples are collected during a quarter of the year
specified by the WPDES permit. The laboratory also collects samples for low level arsenic and
ultra-low level mercury from Lake Michigan. Lake samples are collected quarterly for background
level determination; results are reported on the eDMR. The Racine Wastewater Laboratory
performs analyses on the plant influent and effluent. Tests include biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), pH, total suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus (Total P) and nitrogen determinations (NH3
and TKN), metals analysis, fecal coliform and e coli determinations. Biosolids analyses include
percent solids, nutrient analysis, soluble phosphorus, metals analysis, volatile acid/alkalinity levels
and bacterial analysis. Cyanide is determined on industrial samples. Industrial and wastewater
plant metals data was compiled and evaluated for a local limits study submitted to the WDNR in
July 2014, with amendments added in October 2014. We are awaiting the WDNR determination
of our recommended local limits.
The laboratory was audited by the DNR in December 2015. The auditor commented on many
exceptional practices employed at the laboratory. There were 5 deficiencies noted, all of which
have been corrected.

Industrial Pretreatment Program Summary INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
The Industrial Pretreatment Program is a federally mandated program which regulates industrial
wastewater discharges in Racine and surrounding communities. In 1984, the Utility became the
delegated Control Authority to regulate industrial discharges to the Racine Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The Utility regulates industries that fall under several federally mandated categorical
discharge limits, such as Metal Finishing, Electroplating, Metal Molding and Casting, Non-Ferrous
Metals Manufacturing, Soap and Detergent Manufacturing and Pesticide Formulating, Packaging and
Repackaging (PFPR).
Also included in the Pretreatment Program are industries serviced by the Racine Wastewater Utility
which do not fall into the Federal Government’s list of categorical industries. These industries are
non-categorical and are therefore regulated by the City of Racine local ordinance covering
wastewater discharges. The local industries included in the Industrial Pretreatment Program are
those industries that have the potential to impact the wastewater treatment plant processes or by-
products. There are permitted industries which do not discharge process waste, but have the potential
to exceed local limits if discharge were to occur. These industries must provide the Utility with a No
Discharge Statement every six months to maintain their status. There are also industries designated
as a Minimal Discharge. These industries seldom discharge or the discharge volume is minimal.
These industries self-sample and the Utility inspects them annually.
The laboratory staff at the Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant is responsible for industrial
wastewater sample scheduling, laboratory analyses, data handling, compliance evaluations,
enforcement actions and reporting requirements.
The Pretreatment Inspector reports to the Pretreatment Coordinator/Laboratory Director and is
available to work in the laboratory as needed. The Pretreatment Inspector is responsible for
scheduling inspections of each industry in the program at least once per year under the direction of
the Pretreatment Coordinator. The inspection process includes a walk-through of industrial processes
and discharges, inspecting the sample site, noting changed conditions, and verifying/reviewing spill
plans, toxic organic management plans (if required) and hauled waste records. Additional site-
specific inspections are scheduled if necessary. When directed to do so by the Pretreatment
Coordinator, the pretreatment inspector also visits industries that have the potential to be included in
the pretreatment program, as well as other industries that are under permitting consideration.
The two person sampling crew collects wastewater samples from all regulated industries. Laboratory
staff coordinates the sampling schedule, based upon industrial discharge status and compliance. The
laboratory works closely with the field crew in obtaining pretreatment samples, watching for changed
conditions of industrial discharge and to maintain contact with the industries.
The pretreatment program is self-funded. Regulated industries are charged annually for a discharge
permit and for all sampling and analysis that the Utility undertakes. All industrial discharge permits
have a four year term. Each industry was issued a new permit effective January 1, 2013. These
permits will expire December 31, 2016. Permits are modified as needed within this four year permit.
Modifications may include changing sampling sites, addition or deletion of discharge processes,
changing from categorical to local (or the reverse), change in discharge volume or change in
ownership. No industries were deleted or added to the pretreatment program in 2015. The estimated
total person hours used to implement the Pretreatment Program in 2015 was 2890 hours. The
estimated total cost of the program was $149,300.

INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM REVIEW 2015
In 2015, there were forty two (42) permitted industries in the industrial pretreatment program. There
were twenty (20) categorical and twenty-two (22) non-categorical industries regulated by the Racine
Pretreatment Program. Industrial categories regulated in 2015 include: twelve Metal Finishing, two
Electroplating, three Metal Molding and Casting, one Non-Ferrous Metals Manufacturing, one Soap
and Detergent Manufacturing and one Pesticide Formulating, Packaging and Repackaging (PFPR).
These categorical industries have specific numerical limits set by the Federal Government for
pollutants characteristically found in their process wastewater discharge. The parameters regulated
include oil & grease, ammonia, organic chemicals, cyanide and various metals. There are six no-
discharge permitted industries and two minimal discharge permitted industries.
The non-ferrous metals manufacturing industry changed location, which also resulted in a change in
limit calculations. Beck Aluminum submits biannual process water discharge and pounds of
aluminum poured. New limits are calculated every 6 months if necessary. A listing of the industries
divided by discharge category follows this summary. All regulated industrial users were inspected at
least once in 2015; some had additional follow up visits or specific site inspections.
No industries were in significant non-compliance (SNC) during 2015. Three industries were in
noncompliance during the 2nd six month period. Violations included one minor oil & grease
violation and two industries with zinc noncompliance. There were no treatment plant upsets and the
plant did not exceed any discharge limits as a result of industrial non-compliance. One waste hauler
also exceeded the local limit for zinc discharge and was notified of the ordinance violation. All
industries and waste haulers that are in noncompliance are required to investigate the cause of the
noncompliance and provide the Utility a written response, explaining the cause and how the
noncompliance will be resolved. Continuing noncompliance results in increased enforcement. Pretreatment Streamlining changes were drafted for the Racine Wastewater Ordinance and Industrial
Discharge Permits. These changes, incorporating both mandatory and optional revisions, were
submitted to the Wisconsin DNR Pretreatment Coordinator for review and comment. The draft
document was submitted to the DNR in January 2015. We are still awaiting DNR approval of the
proposed changes.
Pollution Prevention activities included distributing information, attending training seminars and
recognizing industries in total compliance with a congratulatory letter and certificate. The Racine
Wastewater Utility continues to promote mercury recycling and reduction in the Racine area through
their Mercury Pollution Prevention Plan.

Mercury Minimization Program
2015 - MERCURY MINIMIZATION PROGRAM
The Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant WDNR permit number WI-0025194-07-1 required that the
Utility submit annual status reports on the progress of the Mercury Pollutant Minimization Program. The
new Racine WPDES permit number WI-0025194-08-0 has an effluent mercury limit of 5.8 ng/L. The
goal remains to reduce mercury coming into the plant. The annual status report is now due to the WDNR
by September 30 of each year. Each report covers the period from January 1 to December 31 of the
previous year. The initial plan was submitted in March 2006, following two years of wastewater
monitoring.
The Utility continues to survey different sectors thought to contribute mercury to the waste stream.
Sectors surveyed have been schools, medical facilities, industries, general public and dental facilities.
Contacts have been made with each of these sectors by mail and phone. Best Management Practices
(BMPs) are used by the various mercury source sectors to reduce or eliminate mercury contributions to
the wastewater. All Racine area dental facilities that place or remove amalgam dental fillings are required
to have amalgam separators and are required to implement Best Management Practices for Dental
Facilities as outlined by the American Dental Association. Health centers and schools are committed to
be mercury-free. School and medical facility status is updated as needed. The Utility accepts mercury
thermostats at no charge by partnering with the Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC). Thermostats
are collected from the public at all scheduled household hazardous waste events and at the wastewater
plant from area contractors. Accumulated thermostats are stored in the designated container and sent in
for recycling as needed, but at least annually.
The Utility will continue to monitor the wastewater effluent to assess progress towards the Water Quality
Limitation. Annual reporting of the Mercury PMP to the WDNR will evaluate progress. The 2015
Community Mercury PMP Score, the laboratory data from 2014 and 2015, as well as a graph of the
measured mercury in the influent and effluent from 2003-2015 are included in this report.
Mercury is measured in ng/l (nanograms per liter) or PPT (parts per trillion); the units are interchangeable. Influent
and effluent levels have decreased since 2003.

Collection System and Lift Stations - 2015 COLLECTION SYSTEMS AND LIFT STATIONS - 2015
In 2015, the Utility continues to focus on the Capacity, Management, Operations and
Maintenance Program (CMOM). The CMOM Program is being developed by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The
goal of the program is to develop guidelines for the operation and maintenance of wastewater
collection systems.
In February of 2010, the Utility became a member of Diggers Hotline. The Field Operations
staff spent many hours establishing areas of concern and relaying them to Diggers Hotline. The
Utility then contracted with USIC Locating Services in order to establish the most cost effective
manner of locating and marking our underground infrastructure.
The Utility continues to implement flow studies within the collection system, in an attempt to
pinpoint infiltration and inflow. In 2015, we monitored flow in the west side area of the City of
Racine covering about 161,381.6 LF.
The Utility implemented an interceptor closed circuit televising program in 2010. The Utility
owns 252,084 linear feet of interceptor sewers, ranging in size from 6 inch to 84 inch. Under the
2015 contract, we televised a total of 23,251 linear feet of interceptor sewer and inspected
37 manhole structures. When minor defects or obstructions are discovered, they are dealt with
immediately. Larger defects are assessed and scheduled for repair in a timely manner. The
intent is to televise the interceptor system within a 10 year period.

In 2008, the Utility formed a Technical Advisory Committee. The Committee members
represent the Wastewater Utility and outlying communities. They were selected for their
expertise and understanding of the Racine Wastewater Utility system. The Committee continues
to work on immediate and long term issues in the system, cost-sharing between municipalities,
understanding the sewer agreement, and development of strategies for streamlining future
projects. The Storage Optimization Study was completed in late 2009. This study identified
$193 million in improvements to the regional collection system to mitigate bypassing and
backups. The improvements would be completed in stages over a period of time to
accommodate 2035 peak flows anticipated during a 40 year storm event.
The Utility re-laid 1,774 linear feet of interceptor throughout the City in 2015 at a cost of
$676,319.75.
79
In 2015, the Utility replaced the control panel at lift station #5; located at 1530 13th
St. The
aging control panel was located in the parkway adjacent to the station. The new walk in
structure is now located in a fenced in area adjacent to the standby generator and has an arc flash
safe control panel. The pumps are now controlled by a level transducer and have a backup float
system for additional reliability.
The Vactor crew continues to do an outstanding job of maintaining the City of Racine’s
203 miles of sewer mains that make up the collection system, as well as the Utility owned
52 miles of interceptors and force mains. In 2015, the crew cleaned 558,117 linear feet
(105.7 miles) of the 255 miles of sewer in the collection system. The crew used our root saws on
59,531 linear feet of sewer mains, and responded to 132 sewer calls; 2 of which required
corrective action by the Utility. They also responded to 7 requests for assistance from other City
departments.
The Lift Station Crew does an exceptional job maintaining the Utility’s lift stations and storage
basins. The crew also maintains the lift stations owned by the City of Racine’s Parks
Department.
It should be noted that the Racine Wastewater Utility operates and maintains the regional
sanitary sewer infrastructure in the area of Racine. Local municipalities, including the City of
Racine, have the responsibility of maintaining their own collection systems that feed into the
Utility system.
LIFT STATION #1
736 Washington Ave.
The lift station was originally constructed in 1931. It is the largest station in the collection
system, providing half of the treatment plant’s flow. The East side of lift station #1 was
constructed in 1989, doubling the capacity of the original station. In 2004, the West side was
completely updated with new pumps, controls, and a stainless steel crawler barscreen. In 2005,
the East pumps were reconditioned and the variable frequency drives were replaced. In 2005,
the Utility also added a 2000kW, 480V diesel powered generator and building. In 2006, the
aging bar screen on the East side was replaced with a stainless steel crawler bar screen.
LIFT STATION #2
2022 Spring St.
Originally constructed in 1931, the station was modified in 1965. A third pump was added in
1970. Area growth required an additional upgrade. In 1994 the station was redesigned,
increasing the capacity to 9.072 MGD. An additional force main and dedicated stand-by
generator was added at that time. In 2004, the Utility completed construction of an emergency
bypass pumping station. The 2-Flygt pumps have the ability to pump 2.880 MGD directly to the
storm water system, thereby preventing basement backups in the area. In 2009, the 12 inch force
main from the station was replaced. In 2010, the Utility completed the upgrade of the standby
generator. The generator output was increased from 100kW to 250kW, 480V. As part of the
project, we improved the flood protection of the station.
80
LIFT STATION #3
1004 Riverbrook Dr.
The station was originally constructed in 1984. Upgrade of this station’s pumps occurred in
1996. The 1.6 hp submersible pumps were converted to 2.4 hp. In 2010, the station received a
complete upgrade. A walk in control structure with an arc flash safe control panel was installed.
The panel uses VFD motor starters in order to convert 1-phase to 3-phase power. The 3 hp
pumps have greater capacity, as well as improved efficiency and reliability. This upgrade
increased the station capacity from 0.430 MGD to 0.648 MGD.
LIFT STATION #4
6 - 5th
St.
The original lift station was constructed in 1967 as a pneumatic ejector station. This station was
moved and upgraded in 1987 in conjunction with the Festival Site development project. A
“package can” station, Lift Station #4 contains two 7.5 hp pumps with a capacity of 1.82 MGD.
In 2014, the Utility replaced the control panel which was located underground in the “can”. The
new walk in structure is located in the adjacent parking ramp, and has an arc flash safe control
panel. The station serves Lakeshore Towers, the Festival site, and Pershing Park.
LIFT STATION #5
1530 - 13th
St.
The lift station was originally constructed in the summer of 1955 as a pneumatic ejector station.
In 1971 it was converted to a wet well and submersible pumps were installed. In 1989 a
$165,000 lift station upgrade and force main reconstruction project replaced the existing station.
The two new 24 hp submersible pumps and redirected force main solved wet weather overload
problems at lift stations #5 and #10. The project was completed in January of 1990. In 2007, the
Utility replaced one of the original pumps; the old pump will remain in service as a spare. In
2015, the Utility replaced the control panel which was located on the parkway adjacent to the
station. The new walk in structure is located next to the standby generator and has an arc flash
safe control panel. This station serves a 10-block area in the vicinity of the station, and its new
capacity is 2.06 MGD
LIFT STATION #6
3236 Drexel Ave.
The original design in 1955 was a pneumatic system that called for two-150 gallon ejectors. In
1970, two more ejectors were added to handle the growth of the area. This station had a major
renovation in 1996; the ejectors were eliminated and replaced with centrifugal pumps. The
pumps are driven by 15 hp motors. This upgrade increased the capacity of the station from
2.08 MGD to 3.02 MGD. Additional capacity can easily be obtained by simply increasing the
size of the impeller. The automatic transfer switch for the stand-by generator was replaced in
2005. In 2006, the Utility replaced an aging stand-by generator with an 85kW natural gas
powered generator. On April 9, 2011 the utility discovered the 12 inch force main was leaking
under the building. An emergency repair was implemented, and we replaced the first 85 feet of
force main from the building to the street.
81
LIFT STATION #7
45 Steeplechase Dr.
This station was originally constructed in April of 1958 as a pneumatic ejector station. The
station was converted to a wet well with submersible pumps in April of 1999. The lift station
has two 7.5 hp pumps with a capacity of 1.22 MGD. As part of this upgrade, a stand-by
generator was added for operation during emergency situations.
LIFT STATION #8
3625 Rapids Ct.
A 1986 construction project combined two existing stations into one new one. One station was
located on the west side of the Root River, the other on the east side dating back to 1958. The
new “package can” station contains three 40 hp centrifugal pumps with total capacity of
5.25 MGD. This lift station serves several blocks on either side of Northwestern Avenue from
Golf Avenue to Highway 31. Construction included the installation of stand-by generator for
emergency power. The pump control system was updated in 2006, replacing the soft starts and
adding bypass circuitry that will allow the pumps to run in the event of a soft start failure. In
2012, the Utility completed an upgrade on the standby generator. The generator output was
increased from 100kW to 150 kW, 480V.
LIFT STATION #9
3908 Francis Dr.
This station was originally constructed in April of 1955. The station was equipped with
pneumatic ejectors and had a capacity of 0.07MGD. In the spring of 1995, the station was
converted to a wet well with submersible pumps, increasing the capacity to 0.173 MGD. This
lift station serves the area north of Vista Drive between Harrington Drive and Spring Valley
Drive. In 2009, the 5 hp pumps were replaced with 7.5 hp pumps to increase the station’s
capacity during high flow situations. The 5 hp pumps will be used for spares.
LIFT STATION #10
800 S. Memorial Dr.
The station was originally constructed in 1962. In order to increase capacity, a third pump was
added to the station in 1986. In 2000, the aging pumps and control system were replaced with
two higher capacity pumps. In 2005, the Utility replaced an aging stand-by generator with a
44 kV.A/240V natural gas powered generator and new automatic transfer switch. In 2008, the
Utility replaced an aging KSB pump with a Fairbanks Morse Model 5442. In 2009, the Utility
installed a second Fairbanks Morse pump; the exiting KSB pump will remain in service as a
spare or to be used in high flow situations when extra capacity is required. In 2010, the 6 inch
force main and flow meter were replaced with a 10 inch force main and meter. This increased
the capacity from 2.44 MGD to 3.67 MGD.
LIFT STATION #11
2750 Old Mill Dr.
The Utility took ownership of this station in November of 1993 after requested improvements
were made by the previous owner. The station provides service for the residents of Old Mill
Road. It is equipped with two submersible pumps and has a capacity of 0.792 MGD. In 2002,
the Utility installed a dedicated stand-by generator and automatic transfer switch. In
November of 2008, the Utility completed an upgrade of the station including valves, pumps,
telemetry, and controls.
82
LIFT STATION #12
334 Parkview Dr.
Construction of this new lift station began in October 1999. The station went on-line in
December 1999. This station handles the flow along the Root River on Parkview Drive. Lift
Station #12 has two 3.4 hp submersible pumps with a flow capacity of 0.346 MGD.
LIFT STATION #13
1100 N. Main St.
This station came on line in March of 2002 and handles the flow from Hamilton to Dodge Street
on Main Street. The station is equipped with two 1.5 hp submersible pumps rated at
0.128 MGD.
LIFT STATION #14
3205 Michigan Blvd.
The Utility added a new lift station to the collection system in 2009. This lift station went on
line September 11, 2009. The purpose of the station is to isolate homes in the area from a
36 inch interceptor that can become surcharged during high flow conditions. The station is
equipped with two 5 hp pumps, each capable of pumping 500 gallons per minute. In order to
protect the esthetics of the neighborhood, the station is located underground with the control
panel and standby generator located at remote sites in the area.
NORTH SIDE STORAGE BASIN
3026 Mt. Pleasant St.
The construction of a North side 8.4 MG storage basin was completed in 2004. This in-ground
storage basin serves the Caledonia area during high flow situations. The storage basin is placed
in operation during periods of high flow and emptied when flows return to normal levels.
GROVE AVENUE STORAGE BASIN
1218 Grove Ave.
The Utility completed construction of the Grove Avenue Storage basin in March of 2008. The
storage basin reduces the potential for sanitary overflow into the storm water system by
providing storage of 650,000 gallons of peak sanitary flow. The stored wastewater is pumped
back into the collection system when the flow returns to normal. The tank was utilized three
times in 2008.
OHIO STREET IN-LINE STORAGE
The Utility completed the construction of the Ohio Street interceptor sewer. It was available for
service in March of 2009. The sewer is located under Ohio Street between Ridgeway Avenue
and the northern boundary of Lockwood Park; it continues east in the park from Ohio Street to
Illinois Street. The sewer protects properties on Virginia Street, which are connected to a
21 inch interceptor, from basement backups by providing 160,000 gallons of in-line overflow
storage.
83
SCADA
The SCADA system is always being tuned and refined as more is being learned about the
functionality of the system. The Utility is becoming more efficient through the operation of this
tool. In 2010, the Utility began upgrading the software that controls the SCADA system. The
Utility started investigating the use of the SCADA system as a security and monitoring tool in
2001 due to the environment in which we have lived since September 11, 2001.
