Initial Alternative Resource Plan Variations<br />

Driver<br />

Objective<br />

Infrastructure<br />

System<br />

Variation<br />

1. Meet Current Nova<br />

Scotia Environment<br />

WWTF Permit to<br />

Operate<br />

Wastewater<br />

Time frame to implement current compliance<br />

requirements<br />

A – 3 years, B – 5 years, C – 7 years<br />

2. Meet Current Nova<br />

Scotia Environment WSP<br />

Permit to Operate<br />

Water<br />

Currently in full compliance<br />

No variation considered<br />

3. Meet Current Overflow<br />

Compliance<br />

Wastewater<br />

Time frame to implement current compliance<br />

requirements<br />

A – 5 years, B – 10 years, C – 15 years<br />

Time frame to implement future WSER<br />

compliance requirements for HHSP facilities<br />

A – 20 years, B – 20 years, C – 30 years<br />

Time frame to implement future nutrient<br />

compliance requirements for WWTFs<br />

discharging to limited or sensitive receiving<br />

waters<br />

Compliance<br />

4. Meet Future WWTF<br />

Compliance<br />

Wastewater<br />

A – 10 years, B – 20 years, C – 30 years<br />

Nutrient reduction strategy<br />

Option 1 – Upgrade 9 WWTFs plus BLT upgrade<br />

already under way – designated “Modified<br />

RWWFP”<br />

Option 2 – Upgrade 8 WWTFs plus BLT upgrade<br />

already under way (interim) and divert<br />

Springfield Lake and BLT WWTFs (long-term) as<br />

per the RWWFP – designated “ RWWFP”<br />

5. Meet Future Drinking<br />

Water Compliance<br />

Water<br />

Implementation within 5 years as per the HW<br />

Five-Year Capital Plan<br />

Option 1 – “Baseline” program was based on the<br />

RWWFP and utilized RWWFP timing set by<br />

growth demands<br />

6. Meet Future Overflow<br />

Compliance<br />

Wastewater<br />

Option 2 – “Enhanced” program included<br />

additional overflow control that incorporated<br />

RWWFP measures plus additional controls. The<br />

Enhanced program employed RWWFP timing for<br />

the RWWFP recommended measures and a 30-<br />

year implementation for the enhanced<br />

measures developed through the IRP.<br />

7. Meet Future Stormwater<br />

Quality Compliance<br />

Stormwater<br />

Implementation timing of 3 years is for<br />

stormwater quality program development<br />
