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 />
