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 />
