Meet Future Drinking Water Compliance Water Implementation within 5 years as per the HW Five-Year Capital Plan Option 1 – “Baseline” program was based on the RWWFP and utilized RWWFP timing set by growth demands 6. Meet Future Overflow Compliance Wastewater Option 2 – “Enhanced” program included additional overflow control that incorporated RWWFP measures plus additional controls. The Enhanced program employed RWWFP timing for the RWWFP recommended measures and a 30- year implementation for the enhanced measures developed through the IRP. 7.

In consideration of the benefits of nutrient control, particularly on<br />

the smaller receiving waters, and the schedule of expansions and<br />

upgrades in the later planning period, a 10-year or 10 plus year<br />

timing for nutrient control seems reasonable. Hence, the A level<br />

Alternative<br />

Resource Plan<br />

(40-4)<br />

The Enhanced Overflow Control Program has an additional 30-<br />

year NPV of $71 million when compared to the Baseline plan in<br />

the RWWFP. The implementation timing of the program has been<br />

fixed at 30 years and provides additional control at 59 outfalls not<br />

addressed through the RWWFP.<br />
