Recommended IRP and Analysis<br />

6. RECOMMENDED IRP AND ANALYSIS<br />

6.1 PURPOSE<br />

The purpose of this report section is to present an overview of the Recommended IRP<br />

including plan benefits. The section also provides analysis of the Recommended IRP with<br />

respect to end-of-period value, demand reduction and growth assumptions. All costs are<br />

presented as 30-Year NPV unless otherwise noted.<br />

6.2 RECOMMENDED IRP OVERVIEW<br />

Based on the extensive analysis carried out through the IRP preparation a<br />

Recommended IRP was identified.<br />

The Recommended IRP components and timing are presented in Table 6.1.<br />

Compliance<br />

IRP Objective<br />

1. Meet Current Nova Scotia<br />

Environment WWTF Permit to<br />

Operate.<br />

2. Meet Current Nova Scotia<br />

Environment WSP Permit to Operate.<br />

3. Meet Current Overflow Compliance.<br />

4. Meet Future WWTF Compliance.<br />

5. Meet Future Drinking Water<br />

Compliance.<br />

6. Meet Future Overflow Compliance.<br />

7. Meet Future Stormwater Quality<br />

Compliance.<br />

Recommended IRP Strategy<br />

• Five years to implement current WWTF compliance<br />

requirements.<br />

• Currently in full compliance. Continue current<br />

WQMP program and integrate into Water Master<br />

Plan.<br />

• Ten years to implement current overflow<br />

compliance requirements.<br />

• Twenty years to implement future WSER compliance<br />

requirements for three HHSP WWTFs.<br />

• Ten years to implement future nutrient compliance<br />

requirements for 10 WWTFs by upgrading 8 WWTFs<br />

(Wellington, Frame, Mill Cove, North Preston,<br />

Aerotech Middle Musquodoboit, Lockview-<br />

MacPherson Uplands Park) plus BLT (short-term<br />

upgrades) and consolidating Springfield Lake into<br />

Mill Cove WWTF and BLT (long-term consolidation)<br />

WWTFs into the Herring Cove WWTF as per the<br />

RWWFP.<br />

• Five years for Five-Year Capital Plan projects.<br />

• New program to control selected (19 non-growth<br />

and 9 growth already considered in RWWFP)<br />

overflows to a uniform level of 10 overflows per<br />

average year.<br />

• Program is in addition to the RWWFP, which will<br />

offset the impact of growth on overflows.<br />

• Thirty years to implement enhanced overflow<br />

control.<br />

• Three years for stormwater quality program<br />

development.<br />
