2. FISCAL YEAR-2017 BUDGETS

Actions:

a. Approve the FY-2017 to FY-2036 Financial Forecast

b. Approve the Operating Budget for FY-2017, which includes theOperating, Debt Service and Transfer Appropriations, andauthorize distribution of the Budget in accordance with the TrustAgreement.

c. Approve the Capital Budget for FY-2017

d. Approve the Capital Improvement Program for FY-2017 to FY-2026(Summary Capital Improvement Program)

e. Approve the Rate Schedules to be effective July 1, 2016 subject tothe requirements of the Enabling Act.

Moved: Willie Levenston Ayes: 5 Seconded: Frederick Elofson Nays: 0

Brief: The annual budgeting process includes updating the 20-year Financial Forecast and preparing the Operating Budget (which includes the operating, debt service and transfer appropriations), the Capital Budget and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as well as the corresponding Rate Schedules to support these budgets.

The preliminary budgets were forwarded for Commission review in mid-March. The Chairman appointed Commissioners Elofson and Rodriguez to the Finance Committee. They and several other commissioners participated in the CIP review meetings and met with staff to review the draft components of the budget for the next fiscal year. The Finance Committee reported to the Commission at the April 26, 2016 meeting. The Commission is required to approve an annual budget by June 1 and to print and distribute the budget by June 30.

COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES May 24, 2016

Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 6 of 18

The Capital Budget includes the first year of the CIP. The CIP includes the proposed capital projects to be undertaken by HRSD over the next ten years. Projects in the approved CIP (including those in the approved Capital Budget) are individually presented to the Commission for full project funding specific to each project at the time first dollar is spent for funding authorization. Changes to the CIP, which may be required by changing conditions, are presented to the Commission as amendments. The proposed CIP recommends spending approximately $1.52 billion over the next 10 years. The CIP will be available on the HRSD website upon Commission approval.

The Financial Forecast was updated to cover the period 2017 through 2036 to forecast HRSD finances over an extended timeframe. The Financial Forecast is a planning tool used to project revenue requirements and spending limits needed for HRSD to comply with its financial policies throughout the forecast period.

The Rate Schedules summarize rates necessary to generate sufficient revenue to cover expenses and reserves requirements for the next fiscal year. HRSD’s Rate Model assigns the operating and debt service costs from the proposed budget to the four primary treatment parameters of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), total suspended solids, phosphorus and nitrogen at each treatment plant as weighted averages or percentages to determine the total cost for treating each parameter. The total cost is converted into a unit cost based on the estimated quantity of each parameter, and surcharge rates for high strength wastewater are calculated. The result is that the Rate Model calculates rates sufficient to recover expenses based on the waste characteristics of each customer. To meet the requirements of the Financial Forecast, the FY-2017 wastewater charge will increase from $4.13 per 100 cubic feet to $4.51 per 100 cubic feet. The current average residential customer (as measured by a 5/8-inch meter) uses approximately 6.5 CCF of water per month, resulting in an average monthly increase of $2.47 (approximately $0.08 per day). Our charges for wastewater treatment remain reasonable, with the average residential customer paying less than $1.00 per day to ensure future generations will inherit clean waterways and be able to keep them clean.

Rates to provide wastewater services to the Middle Peninsula communities include both the cost of the treatment and the collection systems. Middle Peninsula residents pay the HRSD regional treatment rate, the weighted

average sewer collection system rate for the metro area, plus the capital costs (Capital Recovery Rate) of the collection systems. The capital cost component generally includes the amortized cost incurred by HRSD when the systems were acquired.

3. CENTER AVENUE I&I REMEDIATION PHASE IIREJECTION OF BIDS

Action: Reject all bids.

Moved: Stephen Rodriguez Ayes: 5 Seconded: Frederick Elofson Nays: 0

CIP Project: JR011500

Type of Procurement: Competitive Bid

Bidder Bid Amount SAK Construction, LLC $1,443,510.00 AM-Liner East, Inc. $1,801,630.70 TA Sheets General Contractors $1,972,844.00 WB and E Contractors, Inc. $2,062,425.00 Tri-State Utilities, Co. $2,122,154.40 Shaw Construction $3,186,034.91

Engineer Estimate: $2,364,061.15

Project Description: This project includes the rehabilitation and/or replacement of approximately 8,340 linear feet of existing 18, 21 and 24-inch vitrified clay and reinforced concrete gravity sewer and will complete the rehabilitation of HRSD’s Center Avenue Pump Station service area. The project includes all or portions of line numbers NG-175, NG-176, NG-045 and NG-098. City laterals directly connected to HRSD infrastructure will also be rehabilitated along with the construction effort at HRSD cost.

HRSD recommends rejection of all bids. During the evaluation of bids, a unique approach to Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation and associated bypass pumping activities was brought to HRSD’s attention by the apparent low bidder, SAK Construction, LLC.

The proposed approach to CIPP rehabilitation and bypass pumping is reflected in the apparent low bid, which was $358,121 less than the next lowest bid. The difference in bids highlights the potential to save HRSD in

Page 9: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES May 24, 2016

Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 9 of 18

construction costs due to reduced construction duration. Additionally, the proposed approach has the potential to significantly reduce the construction impacts to the residents in the project area (greater Hilton Village area of Newport News).

SAK Construction, LLC, met with HRSD to explain their approach to completing the CIPP rehabilitation project with a bypass pumping system that is fully removed from the project site at the end of each work day. The described approach was the basis for their low bid. SAK Construction, LLC shared that their bid did not reflect completing the project in the manner described in the contract documents and subsequent addenda. SAK Construction, LLC has used this approach in other regions of the country successfully and the equipment used for their bypass pumping system is widely available and not proprietary. This application of the bypass pumping system approach is new to the Hampton Roads region and discussions with the City of Newport News indicate that this construction technique will be acceptable.

With Commission approval of the rejection of all bids for the current advertisement, HRSD will revise the contract documents to add the proposed approach to bypass pumping and re-advertise the project for competitive bid.

Schedule: PER October 2013 Design May 2014 Bid June 2016 Construction August 2016 Project Completion July 2017

Discussion Summary: The proposed bypass pumping system has not been used on HRSD CIP projects in the past but is available to any contractor that chooses to use this approach. HRSD crews have used a similar piping system for repairs in the past. We will include this method in future projects, where applicable, as an option to help minimize impacts to residents.

COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES May 24, 2016

Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 11 of 18

Project Description: This project will replace approximately 1,400 linear feet of 24-inch force main on Effingham Street from Firehouse Lane to Country Street in Portsmouth.

Funding Description: This project requires additional funding due to changed field conditions encountered during construction. The contractor discovered cobblestones under the asphalt that need to be removed and the roadway rebuilt. This request also includes a contingency of $295,477 to accommodate any additional unforeseen conditions. Analysis of Cost: The Engineer prepared an independent estimate of costs and recommends approval of these changes.

Change Order Description: On Chestnut Avenue between County Street and High Street and from High Street to London Boulevard, a thin layer of asphalt is underlain by cobblestones. The cobblestones were not discovered during the design phase investigations, and are a changed condition. Patching Chestnut Avenue in the area disturbed by the new pipe line is not possible, as bid by TUC, because the cobblestones are not stable when disturbed and a crack-free final product cannot be achieved. The cobblestones must be removed and the roadway rebuilt from County to High and from High to London across the full roadway width (gutter to gutter). This change order captures the work needed to reconstruct the road and includes a time extension for the additional work.

5. EXTENSOMETER CONSTRUCTION AND MONITORING AT NANSEMONDTREATMENT PLANT AGREEMENT

Action: Accept the US Geological Survey (USGS) proposal to constructand install an extensometer and operate for three years with payment toUSGS not to exceed $1.4 million and authorize the General Manager toexecute an agreement in accordance with the terms of the proposal.

Moved: Maurice Lynch Ayes: 6 Seconded: Susan Rotkis Nays: 0

Funding Description: Funds are available in Fiscal Year 2016 OperatingBudget to support this agreement.

Agreement Description: The USGS has proposed to construct and monitoran extensometer at the Nansemond Treatment Plant. An extensometer is avery specialized instrument used to produce reliable and accurate datadescribing aquifer thickness, groundwater levels, land surface elevation, andbedrock elevation for at least 20 years. The proposal includes the USGSResearch Drilling Program mobilizing equipment to install the extensometer.USGS will oversee all aspects of construction and operation. The USGSproposal is attached.

There are few data points available to monitor land subsidence in easternVirginia. The installation of this extensometer will add to that knowledge baseand provide invaluable data to support HRSD’s Sustainable Water RecyclingInitiative.

Schedule: Construct extensometer July 2016 – June 2017 Monitor extensometer July 2017 – June 2019

Discussion Summary: HRSD will own the equipment and may assume monitoring after the three-year contract period. Staff will continue to pursue federal funding.

6. KING WILLIAM TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT UTILIZATION

Action: No action required.

CIP Project: MP011920

Brief: The King William Treatment Plant began providing reclaimed water tothe Nestle Purina cat litter production facility in early April 2016 to supplementthe stressed groundwater supply that is currently utilized by Nestle Purina.HRSD and Nestle Purina have partnered effectively in support of water reuse;both companies made capital investments and have committed assets toencourage beneficial water reuse for the protection of the environment andthe conservation of valuable groundwater resources. Over 30,000 gallons ofreclaimed water is conveyed daily to Nestle Purina and is used in the processof making cat litter. Several HRSD Departments worked together to make thisproject a success. This industrial reuse application reduces the volume ofeffluent discharged to the local waterway by 80 percent, which supports theHRSD Vision: “Future generations will inherit clean waterways and be able tokeep them clean.”

Discussion Summary: Regulatory requirements for zinc removal remain ineffect when HRSD discharges to the Moncuin Creek during periods ofdrought. However, the cost for removing zinc should be less expensive dueto the infrequent occurrence. There are no term limits or quantityrequirements in the agreement to provide reclaimed water to Nestle.

The model features and engineering services include extended state simulation, GIS data integration, interoperability with the localities’ hydraulic models, training and database administration. Additional modeling efforts and software purchases for each of the localities and the Middle Peninsula are included as part of this project. Additional task items to be completed as mandated by the Consent Decree include overall program management and guidance, Consent Decree negotiation, Locality coordination, Capacity and Condition Assessment (an estimated 2-5 percent of the interceptor force mains and 100 percent of the gravity interceptors will need to be inspected for possible defects), Public Participation, overall SCADA coordination, SSES planning, rehabilitation planning and implementation, and preparation and implementation of the Regional Wet Weather Management Plan (RWWMP). Other related work includes: surveying manholes and pumping stations, several studies, and hydraulic model support to make sure other Capital Improvement Program projects fully comply with the Consent Decree. Task Order Description: This task order includes the overall management and coordination of all the work orders and their interaction within the modeling work for the Regional Hydraulic Model. This work will be intensive as the Alternative Analysis Report is developed for submission in August 2016 Level of Service model runs. This task order also includes preparing for, attending and completing follow-up activities

associated with the following meetings: Model Users Group, Locality and Capacity Team (with HRPDC), Wet Weather Management Program Leadership Team, Model Coordination and Technical Review Committee. This work is due to a change in the modeling approach, which caused considerable rework of all aspects of the solution sets for each wastewater treatment plant service area. This task order provides additional services to revise modeling, engineering evaluations and technical studies to incorporate the approach revisions. The results of this work will identify potential improvements determined with the Regional Hydraulic Model that are needed to support the level of service determination and Alternative Analysis Report. Analysis of Cost: The estimated budget for these additional services from May 2016 through August 2016 is $360,000. This amount is based on a change in modeling parameters, which requires changes to the solution set model and the Regional Hydraulic Model.

The Fairbanks pump is taller (9 feet versus 7 feet, 3 inches) and heavier (7,500 pounds versus 5,650 pounds) than the Flygt pump. Because of its added height and weight, the Fairbanks pump cannot be installed in the existing station. Use of the Fairbanks pump would require the addition of roof hatches because the structure cannot be safely retrofitted to support the load of lifting the larger, heavier pump. The structural modifications and added complexities of servicing these pumps (including crane rental when a pump needs to be removed) make the Fairbanks pump option not practical.

General Manager’s Introduction

The voters of Virginia took the bold step in 1940 to address pollution in the Hampton Roads by approving a referendum creating the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD). That public approval capped a 15-year grassroots campaign that began when the shell fishing beds in the Hampton Roads were closed by the Virginia Department of Health. At the time, over 30 million gallons of untreated sewage was being dumped into the waters of the Hampton Roads each day. It would take the United States Congress another 32 years to tackle the issue of water pollution on a national scale, finally passing the Clean Water Act in 1972. Over the past 76 years, HRSD has developed into one of the premier wastewater treatment organizations in the nation. With 13 treatment plants capable of treating 249 million gallons of wastewater each day, HRSD has eliminated the discharge of untreated sewage into the waters of Hampton Roads from the homes and businesses within our region. However, there is more work to be done to further improve water quality as well as preserve our 76-year investment in wastewater infrastructure. The Governor appointed, eight-member HRSD Commission approved this Fiscal Year-2017 budget at its regular meeting on May 24, 2016. The Commission and the HRSD staff worked diligently to balance our focus on stewardship of our ratepayers’ hard earned dollars with our mission of stewardship of the waters of the Hampton Roads. The cost of wastewater treatment continues to rise here, as it does across the nation. However, wastewater treatment is still a bargain in Hampton Roads, with the typical household paying less than $30 per month for this essential service. That is less than one dollar each day to protect our treasured waterways.

Federal Mandates Drive HRSD Spending

The regional sewer system, although never designed to handle storm water, fills with rainwater runoff, groundwater and tidal water during larger storms. At times, the regional system fills beyond capacity and overflows onto local streets. While these occasional overflows have minimal impact on water quality, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made minimizing these types of events a national priority and HRSD is under a Federal mandate to invest billions of dollars to further reduce the number and volume of overflows from the regional sewer system. In response to this mandate, HRSD is working throughout the region, in partnership with the local governments we serve, to minimize the impact of storm events on the regional sewer system and the waterways we value so greatly. The requirement to reduce the amount of nutrients that HRSD’s 13 treatment plants discharge into the Chesapeake Bay, another Federally mandated program, while not as large as the overflow mandate, has required a significant investment in infrastructure and process improvements. Major plant upgrades have been completed at the Nansemond Treatment Plant in Suffolk, the James River Treatment Plant in Newport News and the York River Treatment Plant in Seaford. Additional projects underway in Norfolk at the Army Base Treatment Plant and the Virginia Initiative Plant will ensure HRSD meets the 2017 milestone requirements of the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load.

Pursuing Innovative Solutions to Reduce Costs and Protect Water Quality

HRSD continues to lead international research efforts to reduce the cost of removing nutrients from wastewater. HRSD’s research work is leveraged with partnerships with leading universities and other innovative wastewater utilities throughout the world. Putting the knowledge gained into practice has already yielded a significant return on our investment by reducing operational costs for nutrient removal as well as minimizing the capital investment required to construct new systems. Throughout HRSD’s history changing regulations have required development and implementation of innovative solutions to meet new standards to protect and restore the quality of the waters of Hampton Roads. Treatment processes have progressed from primary, to secondary, to our current advanced nutrient removal processes. Each regulatory change has required significant investment in new treatment processes. Under current regulations, the treated water HRSD discharges to area waterways is nearly clean enough to drink and substantially cleaner than the waterways themselves. With the addition of a few more treatment processes, HRSD can produce water that exceeds drinking water standards, likely to be the ultimate regulatory mandate at some point in the future. With the various water related challenges facing Hampton Roads and the Commonwealth, it appears there could be significant benefit from HRSD investing in additional treatment processes to treat water to exceed drinking water standards as soon as possible, even before that becomes a regulatory requirement. The challenges of restoring the Chesapeake Bay, the depletion of our groundwater reserves, the impact of sea level rise and the threat of salt water contamination of coastal groundwater may all be addressed with HRSD’s Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative. The concept is for HRSD to treat water to exceed drinking water standards and pump it into the ground to provide a sustainable source of groundwater, slow the rate at which the land is sinking due to over withdrawal of the groundwater, block salt water intrusion with a pressurized fresh water barrier and practically eliminate HRSD discharges to the York, James and Elizabeth Rivers. The benefits of this concept are significant and are needed immediately.

Financing a Sustainable Water Future

HRSD is pursuing the Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative with a goal of obtaining required approvals to construct beginning in 2020. HRSD is committed to implementing this initiative only if it can be accomplished within the financial framework laid out in the Financial Forecast as presented in this budget. To do that, many of the proposed capital improvements related to reducing system overflows will be deferred until after the Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative is complete. HRSD remains committed to eliminating system overflows; however, the impact of those transient events on local water quality is minimal and the benefits nearly unperceivable. In contrast, the positive impact the Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative will have on local waterways, eastern Virginia and the entire Chesapeake Bay is significant, will be immediately evident and critical to sustaining the vitality and prosperity of Hampton Roads and all of eastern Virginia for generations to come. Reducing overflows from the regional sewer system and reducing the amount of nutrients discharged by our treatment plants are both driven by regulations with which HRSD must comply. These regulatory mandates consume over two-thirds of the $1.5 billion 10-year Capital

Improvement Plan. It is within that portion of our Capital Improvement Plan that we will reprioritize mandated projects to allow construction of the voluntary Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative to achieve significantly more environmental benefits without impacting our Financial Forecast. HRSD finances its capital projects by issuing bonds and using cash on hand. Our payments on outstanding debt will increase during the next fiscal year to just under $64 million. Despite our best efforts to control costs through efficiency, conservation and innovation, our operating expenses are projected to increase in FY-2017 from $141 million to $146 million. These increases continue to be heavily dictated by regulatory compliance. As a result of the increased operating costs and debt payments, our average residential customers will see their monthly bills increase by approximately $2.47.

The Community’s Role

Our ratepayers can help control their costs by helping us control ours. Ensuring storm water runoff from downspouts, area drains and sump pumps is not directed to the sanitary sewer system and that privately owned service piping is well maintained and leak free will reduce the amount of water in the sewer system. This ultimately lowers our costs to pump and treat the region’s wastewater. Collecting fats, oils and grease in a container for disposal in the trash as opposed to pouring them down the drain reduces wastewater system maintenance and operating costs. Proper disposal of unused medications (and other substances) prevents them from reaching our treatment plants, which are not designed for removal of such substances. By not flushing unused medications down the sink or the toilet, our ratepayers can make a difference. Each flush counts. As we reflect on 76 years of protecting public health and the waters of Hampton Roads, we remember the mandate so boldly declared by those environmentally concerned Virginians in 1940. It was their foresight that ensured we can enjoy the waters of Hampton Roads today. It will take our continued innovation, investment and foresight to ensure future generations will inherit clean waterways and be able to keep them clean. Sincerely,

Ted Henifin, P.E. General Manager

History of HRSD June 30, 2015

HRSD can trace its beginnings to 1925 when the Virginia Department of Health condemned a large oyster producing area in Hampton Roads. The closure resulted in the Virginia General Assembly creating in 1927 a "Commission to Investigate and Survey the Seafood Industry of Virginia." Other studies recommended a public body to construct and operate a sewage system in the area. HRSD was named after Hampton Roads, a ship anchorage used for five centuries located near the convergence of the James, Elizabeth and Nansemond Rivers, before they flow into the Chesapeake Bay in southeastern Virginia.

In 1934, the Virginia General Assembly created the Hampton Roads Sanitation Disposal Commission with instructions to plan the elimination of pollution in Hampton Roads. Recommendations were made to the General Assembly, which resulted in the Sanitary Districts Law of 1938, along with "an Act to provide for and create the Hampton Roads Sanitation District." This Act required the qualified voters within HRSD to decide in a general election on November 8, 1938, if they favored creation of such a District. This referendum failed to gain a majority by about 500 votes out of nearly 20,000 votes cast. This led to a revision of the Act and another referendum was held on November 5, 1940, which resulted in a majority vote for the creation of the Hampton Roads Sanitation District.

The Enabling Act provides for HRSD to operate as a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia for the specific purpose of water pollution abatement in Hampton Roads by providing a system of interceptor mains and wastewater treatment plants. Its affairs are controlled by a Commission of eight members appointed by the Governor for four-year terms. Administration is under the direction of a General Manager.

HRSD began operations on July 1, 1946, using facilities acquired from the United States Government. The Warwick County Trunk Sewer, HRSD's first construction project, began on June 26, 1946, and was funded by HRSD's $6.5 million Primary Pledge Sewer Revenue Bonds, dated March 1, 1946. The first treatment plant, the Army Base Plant, began operation on October 14, 1947. Since that time, the facilities of HRSD have grown to provide sanitary sewer service to all major population centers in southeastern Virginia. The population served has increased from nearly 288,000 in 1940 to about 1.7 million in 2015.

Throughout its rich history HRSD has earned many of its industry’s most prestigious awards. This tradition continued as the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) presented Peak Performance Awards to every HRSD treatment plant for outstanding compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits during calendar year 2014. The Army Base Treatment Plant was honored for 28 consecutive years of perfect permit compliance, an achievement unsurpassed in the nation. The other major treatment plants received the following awards in recognition of their outstanding permit compliance status: Atlantic Plant—Silver, Boat Harbor—Platinum (13 consecutive years), Chesapeake-Elizabeth—Platinum, James River—Gold, Nansemond—Platinum (13 consecutive years), Virginia Initiative Plant—Platinum (19 consecutive years), Williamsburg—Platinum (20 consecutive years) and York River— Platinum (7 consecutive years).

Reader’s Guide to the Annual Budget

PURPOSE The Annual Budget is an instrument that sets HRSD’s budgetary policy and authorization to raise revenues and spend funds each fiscal year. The development of the Annual Budget is guided by HRSD’s mission and vision statements:

• HRSD’s mission is to protect public health and the waters of Hampton Roads by treating wastewater effectively.

• HRSD’s vision is future generations will inherit clean waterways and be able to keep them clean.

ANNUAL BUDGET OVERVIEW HRSD’s Annual Budget contains the following sections:

Financial Forecast This section provides a high level, 20-year forecast of projected retail rate increases, operating revenues and expenses, capital improvements and related funding sources, amounts contributed to and fiscal year-end balances of cash and investment reserves, and selected financial ratios that help to measure the financial health of HRSD. The forecast is an inflationary based model where trends from past fiscal years and proposed operating budgets are used to forecast future operating needs. Transfers to reserves and to the Capital budget are forecast to be in amounts that are not less than parameters established within HRSD’s Financial Policy. Debt service for permanent financings are generally forecast to have a maximum term of 30 years at an interest rate that approximates 20-year average fixed rates for HRSD. Interim, or construction, financings’ interest rates are based on a 10-year historical average. Operating Budget The Operating Budget represents the authorization by the HRSD Commission to spend funds directly related to operating and maintaining HRSD’s programs and assets during the fiscal year. This section includes each department’s annual operating budgets. Those expenses that are not attributable to a specific department are assigned to “General Expenses.” Transfers represent authorization to transfer revenues raised from operations to either the Capital Budget or to various reserves established in HRSD’s Financial Policy. The Operating Budget Summary provides the budget by department and major object code classification. Department Budgets and General Expenses, Debt Service and Transfers detail budget expenditures by major object code classification. The number of full-time positions authorized for the fiscal year is provided by department.

Capital Budget

The Capital Budget represents a plan of specific, major capital improvements over a period of ten fiscal years. The Capital Budget is not an approval or appropriation of funds for individual projects. There is no authorization or funding for individual projects until the Commission acts on the specific project. The Commission formally authorizes spending for individual projects throughout a fiscal year and generally upon project initiation.

The Summary Schedule details the funding sources for capital improvements as well as planned expenditures.

A formal, detailed, Capital Improvement Program with more specific project information is available at http://www.hrsd.com/capitalimprovementprogram.shtml.

HRSD’s budget authorizations, capital improvement plans, user rate setting practices and other significant financial practices are guided by HRSD’s Financial Policy. The Financial Policy is available at http://www.hrsd.com/finance.shtml.

HRSD’s Rate Schedule is available at http://www.hrsd.com/rateschedule.shtml.

BUDGETARY PROCESS

HRSD prepares its Annual Budget under the provisions of its enabling legislation and its Trust Agreement, dated March 1, 2008. In accordance with those provisions, the following process is used to adopt the Annual Budget:

The process begins in late December with the issuance of the Annual Budget Instructions by the General Manager. Each department completes its Operating Budget by March 1 for the General Manager’s review.

The HRSD Commission appoints a Finance Committee which typically consists of two Commissioners. The committee meets in early April to review the budgets. The Commission reviews these budgets during its April meeting.

The final Annual Budget, which incorporates the Operating and Capital Budgets, is presented at the May Commission meeting for adoption. The Commission simultaneously adopts the budget and any resulting wastewater rate schedule changes. All rate adjustments must be publically advertised four consecutive weeks before they can take effect.

The HRSD Commission approves any budget amendments during the fiscal year.

BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL

HRSD operates in accordance with annual operating and capital budgets prepared on a basis of accounting that is different from generally accepted accounting principles.

The Operating Budget is adopted by department, with budgetary controls exercised administratively by management at the department level. The General Manager is authorized to

transfer funds among departments without further approval by the Commission. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Valid, outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under a contract is expected in the next year) are re-appropriated without further approval by the Commission and become part of the subsequent year’s budget. The Capital Budget represents a ten-year plan. Funds for the Capital Budget are adopted throughout a fiscal year on a project basis. Transfers among projects require approval by the Commission. Appropriations for these budgets continue until the purpose of the appropriation has been fulfilled.

Glossary of Financial Terms

Appropriation: An authorization granted by the Commission to incur obligations for specific purposes. Appropriations are usually limited to amount, purpose and time. Basis of Accounting: HRSD’s financial statements report the financial position and results of operations of HRSD in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Bond Ratings: A grade given to bonds that represents a measure of their credit quality. Private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch provide these evaluations of a bond issuer's financial strength, or its the ability to pay a bond's principal and interest in a timely fashion. Capital Improvement Program (CIP): Ten-year plan for major non-recurring facility, infrastructure, or acquisition expenditures that expand or improve HRSD and/or community assets. Projects included in the CIP include physical descriptions, implementation schedules, year of expenditure cost and funding source estimates, and an indication of HRSD Commission priorities and community benefits Centum Cubic Feet (CCF): Typical unit in which industrial-consumption of natural gas or water is measured; each CCF being 100 cubic-feet. CIP Percent Cash Funded: Percent of each year’s capital improvement plan funded with cash through transfers from operations. HRSD’s Financial Policy requires that at least 15 percent of each year’s planned capital improvements be funded with cash. This ratio indicates the amount of capital improvements that are not leveraged. Debt Service: Amount of money necessary to pay principal and interest on bonds outstanding. Debt Service as a Percent of Revenues: Total revenues divided by total debt service. This ratio measures the debt service burden compared to total revenues. General Reserve as Percent of Operating Revenues: Unrestricted cash and investments at fiscal year-end that are not earmarked for another purpose divided by budgeted appropriations for Operations adjusted by certain adjustments required by GAAP. HRSD’s Financial Policy requires that the General Reserve at the end of any fiscal year not be less than 270 – 365 (75-100 percent) days of the current years’ projected operating and maintenance expenses less depreciation. This reserve is intended to help HRSD cover unanticipated expenses that cannot be paid from the current fiscal year’s budgetary resources. Liquidity Ratio: Unrestricted cash and investments divided by Maximum Annual Debt Service. This ratio measures the liquidity available to meet debt service requirements. Risk Management Reserve: HRSD maintains a self-insurance program for some of its risk exposures. HRSD’S Financial Policy requires HRSD to maintain a Risk Management Reserve as of the end of the fiscal year of not less than 25 percent of projected annual self-insured claims costs for known, retained risks.

Maximum Annual Debt Service: Represents the greatest long-term debt service requirement for the then current or succeeding fiscal year. Senior Debt Service Coverage: Current-year revenues available for debt service divided by current-year senior lien debt service. This ratio indicates the financial margin to meet current senior lien debt service with current revenues available. HRSD’s Financial Policy requires that Senior Debt Service Coverage will not be less than 1.5 times senior lien debt service. When calculating compliance with this coverage requirement, HRSD may make reasonable adjustments to the net revenues as presented on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. HRSD’s Senior Trust Agreement requires Senior Debt Service Coverage, which is determined by dividing the Income Available for Debt Service by the Maximum Annual Debt Service, will not be less than 1.2 times. Total Debt Service (GAAP): Current-year net revenues available for total debt service divided by current-year total debt service accordingly to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Total debt service represents the combination of senior lien and subordinate lien debt service. This ratio indicates the financial margin to meet current both senior lien debt service and subordinate lien debt service with current revenues available. Total Debt Service (Adjusted): Current-year net revenues available for total debt service divided by current-year total debt service excluding expenses for improvements that will not be owned by HRSD, but which will, in the reasonable determination of the Commission, as evidenced by a resolution thereof, maintain or improve the integrity of the Wastewater System. Total debt service represents the combination of senior lien and subordinate lien debt service. This ratio indicates the financial margin to meet current both senior lien debt service and subordinate lien debt service with current revenues available. HRSD’s Financial Policy requires that total debt service coverage (adjusted) will not be less than 1.4 times total debt service. HRSD’s Trust Agreement requires that Total Debt Service Coverage will not be less than 1.2 times total debt service coverage (adjusted). Trust Agreement: The formal agreement between bond holders, acting through a trustee, and HRSD.

Capital Budget HRSD prepares a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) each year for the capital projects currently underway or proposed for the future. The first year of the CIP is authorized as the Capital Budget for FY-2017 in the amount of $130 million. The remaining years (FY-2018 to FY-2026) include all known projects planned for these years; however, approval of the plan does not authorize the Capital Budgets for those years. Each year’s Capital Budget will be approved during the budget process for the specific year. The ten-year Capital Improvement Program for FY-2017 to FY-2026 highlights the anticipated cost of each project and the fiscal year(s) in which the work is expected to occur. All costs listed in the CIP are stated in current year dollars and total approximately $1.5 billion.

The bond component of the plan may include one or all of the following:

• Interim or construction financings • Federally subsidized borrowing programs administered by the Virginia Resource Authority • HRSD Revenue Bonds or Notes

The grant component represents funds estimated to be received from a federal or state agency for specific projects. Other reimbursements, if any, include amounts paid by other parties who may participate in a project.

PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH AN EXTENSOMETER STATION AT THE NANSEMOND WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IN SUFFOLK, VA

Proposed to: Hampton Roads Sanitation District Proposed by: US Geological Survey

Date of Proposal: May 20, 2016 Period of Project: July, 2016 to August, 2019

Summary: The Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) has started the Sustainable Water Recycling

Initiative, a program to inject treated wastewater into the subsurface. Injection of water into the

subsurface is expected to raise groundwater pressures, thereby potentially expanding the

aquifer system, raising the land surface, and counteracting land subsidence occurring in the

Virginia Coastal Plain. A pilot project site is under construction at the HRSD Nansemond

Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suffolk, Virginia, to test injection into the aquifer system. HRSD

has asked USGS to prepare a proposal for installation of an extensometer monitoring station at

the test site to monitor groundwater levels and aquifer compaction and expansion.

This proposal describes work to install and operate an extensometer station and presents a

budget and schedule. The extensometer station will consist of the subsurface borehole

extensometer structures, surface reference-frame structures, displacement sensors, data

logging and communication equipment, a cluster of four groundwater monitoring wells

(piezometers) that are instrumented for continuous water-level monitoring, a Global Navigational

Satellite System (GNSS) antennae for continuous position recording, and a surface building

containing the equipment.

Schedule: The extensometer station will be installed in year 1 and operated for years 1-3.

Budget: Total cost is $1,348,330 if the USGS installs the extensometer and the recommended four

piezometers. The cost is $1,054,035 if the piezometer cluster is omitted.

Proposal to establish an extensometer station at the Nansemond Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suffolk, Virginia

Problem Land subsidence has been observed at various locations in the southern Chesapeake Bay

region at rates of 1.1 to 4.8 millimeters per year (Eggleston and Pope, 2013; Holdahl and

Morrison, 1974). A major cause of land subsidence is extensive groundwater pumping that

causes regional aquifer-system compaction (Pope and Burbey, 2004). Although aquifer-system

compaction was measured from the late 1970s to the mid 1990’s at two stations in Virginia, at

Suffolk and Franklin (fig. 1), it has not been measured anywhere in Virginia since 1995. Regular

and highly accurate measurements of aquifer compaction are needed to provide information

critical for understanding coastal flooding; to protect water resources, natural habitat, and

historic sites; and to plan urban and coastal infrastructure in the region.

Injection of treated wastewater is expected to counteract land subsidence, or raise land surface

elevations in the region. Careful monitoring of aquifer system compaction and groundwater

levels can be used to optimize the injection process and to improve fundamental understanding

of the relation between groundwater pressures and aquifer-system compaction and expansion.

Construction of an extensometer monitoring station will provide the ability to accurately measure

land-surface elevations, bedrock-surface elevations, and changes in aquifer-system thickness.

Monitoring of groundwater levels and aquifer-system elastic response will benefit operation of

the wastewater injection system at the Nansemond facility and guide planning of future

wastewater injection facilities for the Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative.

Objectives The objectives of this study are to:

(1) Design and construct an extensometer station for collection of aquifer-system thickness

data with sub-millimeter accuracy for long-term (decadal) operation,

(2) Operate and maintain the station for at least 3 years to collect data describing

groundwater levels, land-surface and bedrock vertical motion, and changes in aquifer-

system thickness

Science Plan

The extensometer station will be designed and constructed to produce reliable and accurate

data describing aquifer thickness, groundwater levels, land-surface elevation, and bedrock

elevation for at least 20 years and likely for 40 years or more.

Extensometer Station Design -

The design of the extensometer at the HRSD Nansemond facility is based on the unique

experience of the USGS National Research Drilling Program (NDRP) installing extensometers

in many locations around the United States, including California, Texas, and Louisiana. Based

on this past experience we recommend including the following features (fig. 2) in the

extensometer instrument:

• Casing slip joints to accommodate the vertical stress and strain that accompany aquifer

compaction/expansion and that can cause casing failure.

• Casing centralizers and a counterweighted fulcrum at the surface to reduce friction and

sticking between the extensometer pipe and casing.

• Combining mechanical strain gages and digital potentiometers to achieve both accuracy

and long-term record continuity.

• Deep surface mount support piers for the reference table to exclude surface soil

compaction and heaving from the aquifer compaction/expansion signals.

• Heavy steel beam frames to support surface equipment.

Monitoring Program

USGS will maintain the monitoring station, serve all data through the publically available NWIS

system (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis), and provide annual analysis and reporting of data.

The station will be outfitted with continuous real-time monitoring equipment so that short term

compression/expansion motions are known and immediately available via the web. Continuous

data will be useful for optimizing performance of the wastewater injection system and will

shorten response times for maintenance.

The following variables will be monitored/recorded:

• change in aquifer thickness

• multiple groundwater levels (regardless whether or not USGS installs the piezometers)

• land-surface elevation

• bedrock-surface elevation

• performance parameters (voltage, etc. .)

Reports All data collected in this project will be stored in USGS data archives and will be publicly

available after being quality assured by USGS personnel. A USGS Open-File Report will be

published outlining the extensometer installation and initial data-collection results. An annual

report summarizing results will also be provided to HRSD. One or more scientific journal

articles describing key findings from the study will be published.

Work Plan Under the proposed plan, the USGS will construct an extensometer station at HRSD’s

Nansemond wastewater treatment facility in Suffolk, VA.

Staffing: Personnel from the USGS Water Science Center based in Richmond Virginia (VA-WSC) will

oversee all aspects of construction and operation. Drilling and downhole work will be performed

by the USGS National Research Drilling Program (NRDP), based in Henderson, Nevada. The

NRDP will deploy its own drill rig, support equipment and drill crew. A staff geologist with the

USGS VA-WSC and a geologist from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will

share on-site geologist duties during the approximate 1 month of drilling. Installation of surface

reference-frame structures and monitoring equipment will be performed or overseen by USGS

staff.

Schedule: The work is anticipated to last from July 2016 through August 2019. Drilling and construction

will occur in Year 1 and USGS will operate the station in Years 1-3. Station operation can

continue beyond Year 3 by mutual agreement.

Site: The extensometer station will be constructed within the fenced perimeter of the Nansemond

Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suffolk, Virginia, and the final location will be chosen jointly with

HRSD. The final location should be 200 to 500 feet from the injection test well, have paved road

access and adequate space for equipment including a large drilling rig, delivery trucks, a

generator, work lights, forklift, dumpster, and backhoe. A roughly 60’ x 100’ area is needed to

house materials, a work area for geologists and drillers, and to dig a pit for circulation of drilling

fluids.

Access to the drill site will be needed on a 24-hour basis during the drilling and construction

phase of the work.

Permanent Structures: A permanent structure with a 20’ x 20’ footprint and a 10’ height will be built to house the top of

the extensometer instrument and the associated monitoring equipment. As currently planned it

will be an insulated metal building with a concrete floor and a window and door, but alternative

exteriors can be considered if desired by HRSD. The building will have locked windows and

doors.

A cluster of four piezometers is highly recommended to allow monitoring of groundwater levels

(pressures) in multiple aquifers. Each piezometer will be housed in a protective casing that

protrudes about 3’ above ground. These piezometers will be permanent structures and will be

located near the extensometer building.

May 16, 2016 Re: General Manager’s Report Dear Commissioners: With little fanfare we began to send reclaimed water to Nestle-Purina from our King William Treatment Plant in April. This start-up caps a five-year effort to find a beneficial use for the high quality effluent produced by the King William Treatment Plant. In September 2012, the Commission approved a contract with a consultant to begin preliminary design on this project to avoid the cost and political challenges of constructing a new outfall for the King William Treatment Plant. Staff had been wrestling with an appropriate method of meeting challenging water quality standards in such a small receiving stream. The timing proved perfect for a reuse solution as Nestle-Purina was looking for additional groundwater to expand their operations and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was loathe to approve additional permitted withdrawals from the seriously stressed Potomac Aquifer. While this is a great project benefitting all involved, it was made possible by some unusual circumstances. First, the King William effluent met Nestle-Purina’s water quality needs without additional treatment. Second, the Nestle-Purina facility was only a little over two miles from the King William Treatment Plant. Third, HRSD and Nestle-Purina were practically fully connected by an existing utility easement that was put in place to accommodate a new natural gas line just a few years earlier. Finally, HRSD and Nestle-Purina were motivated by other factors to find a way to make reuse work. When this project was proposed, our Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative (SWRI) had not begun. We were still seeking more traditional reuse projects that required expensive infrastructure to move our effluent to a near-by industrial user. We are now concentrating on a more sustainable solution that does not depend on expensive infrastructure to move our effluent or the good fortune of having a water dependent industry near one of our treatment facilities. While we will continue to take advantage of fortuitous situations in the future, the SWRI will be the focus of our water recycling efforts going forward.

The SWRI is a complex initiative and a communication challenge. For this reason we have not highlighted our new partnership with Nestle-Purina as this type of successful reuse project further complicates the SWRI communications. However, the King William reuse project is a great project and the result of significant effort by our Small Communities Division staff, the North Shore Design and Construction Division and our Water Quality Department. Once again, HRSD is fortunate to have such talented and dedicated people working to ensure future generations inherit clean waterways and are able to keep them clean. The attached monthly reports review activities throughout the month, with a few items highlighted below: 1. Treatment, Compliance and System Operations: All plants met all

Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit requirements. There were no spills on the interceptor system.

2. Internal Communications: I participated in the following meetings/activities with HRSD personnel:

a. A meeting to review the status of the Infiltration/Inflow program

TO: General Manager FROM: Director of Engineering SUBJECT: Engineering Monthly Report for April 2016 DATE: May 12, 2016 A. General

1. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) spending for the ninth month of Fiscal Year-2016 was $12 million, while the planned expenditure for the month was estimated at $12.4 million. There were no Water Quality Improvement Fund grant reimbursements for the month.

2. We have begun a study to consider decentralized options to address areas

that have limited population and are isolated from existing HRSD infrastructure. The study will address technologies that could be used to address wastewater collection, treatment and disposal. These small systems are challenging to build and operate in a cost effective and reliable manner. The study will consider reliability, maintainability, ease of monitoring, life-cycle costs, public acceptability, expandability and whether the system can be used for either existing or new development. This study is being conducted by CH2M Hill and will provide HRSD a listing of potential options when considering future opportunities to serve small and/or isolated communities. This study will continue through the next few months with a final report due later this year.

B. Asset Management Division

1. The Asset Management Division recently held an Asset Criticality and Preventative Maintenance Review Process workshop with Treatment Division staff. The objective of the workshop was to establish criticality criteria for treatment plant assets to help prioritize maintenance activities. The recently developed Preventative Maintenance Review Checklist was presented as a tool for optimizing the maintenance program by identifying the value and accuracy of information in the CMMS. Valuable feedback was received to enhance current maintenance procedures and ensure consistency.

2. Staff is working with Virginia Tech to share data for a program entitled,

“Pipeline Infrastructure Database (PIPEID).” This effort is being conducted to create a sewer force main performance prediction model. Data is being gathered from multiple utilities from across the country to better predict life

Page 153: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

expectancies and failure modes for these pipelines. HRSD has shared existing pipeline data, condition assessment results and operational data. The results of this program will be shared with participants and others interested in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of sewer force mains.

C. Design & Construction Divisions

1. In April, the King William Treatment Plant Effluent Utilization project was put into service. This project involved the construction of a pump station and a pipeline that extended over two miles from the treatment plant to the adjacent Nestle Purina facility. All of the treated effluent from the King William Treatment Plant will be beneficially reused rather than discharged to an adjacent stream. This was the first project completed by Franklin Mechanical Contractors for HRSD. Although this contractor is relatively small compared to many of the larger contractors working in Hampton Roads, they worked well with HRSD staff and provided a quality project. The contractor is currently addressing punch list items necessary to close out the project.

2. Progress continues on the Virginia Initiative Treatment Plant Nutrient

Reduction Improvement project. Construction efforts are ongoing and the project is on schedule. The first part of the project (Group 1) involves the nutrient reduction portion of the project. Ongoing work includes air piping and mixing for the versatile bioreactor, support piles for yard piping, supplemental carbon (methanol) storage and feed system and electrical work needed for these facilities. The substantial completion date for this part of the project is March 2017. The second part of the project (Group 2) involves the construction of the plant peak capacity improvements. Ongoing work includes the foundation work for the preliminary treatment facility and equalization basin and construction for a new Raw Water Influent Pump Station. A meeting was recently held with the Executive Project Team to review key milestones and areas of potential risk. The substantial completion date for this part of the project is July 2018. This is HRSD’s largest single CIP project and the work will continue for the next three years. The project team is working well together and this effort is an example of good planning and communication.

D. Planning & Analysis Division

1. Since the approval to begin the second phase of the Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative (SWRI) at the August 2015 Commission Meeting, staff has been involved in a number of stakeholder outreach efforts and internal

Page 154: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

meetings to plan for the bench scale pilot work and discuss the merits of this effort. Informational meetings have recently been held as follows: a. Met with Faculty, staff and students at Old Dominion University b. Conducted the first SWRI education webinar: Potable Reuse: History,

Trends, Technology and Case Studies Efforts continue to install a well for testing as part of the SWRI at the Nansemond Treatment Plant.

2. Staff continues to coordinate efforts as part of a biweekly meeting for utility

relocations related to the Hampton Roads Transit Light Rail Extension in Virginia Beach. Work is underway to verify the exact locations of existing utilities to verify conflicts with the proposed project. Staff has identified three areas of potential conflict with existing HRSD infrastructure along the Southern Boulevard corridor. The 30 percent design effort is planned to be completed in September 2016. Once the design has reached this milestone, HRSD will be able to confirm the potential areas of conflict and work with the design team for relocation of impacted infrastructure.

TO: General Manager FROM: Director of Finance SUBJECT: Monthly Report for April 2016 DATE: May 11, 2016 A. General

1. Staff met with the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) and the Department of

Environmental Quality (DEQ) to review potential projects that would qualify for a subsidized loan from Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund (VCWRLF). In a recent change, the DEQ will allow the loan terms to be up to 30 years, depending on the type of project. Previously, the maximum loan term was 20 years, which is shorter than the useful life of our projects and negatively impacts debt service coverage. Staff will develop a package of projects to submit before the deadline in July.

2. Revenues continue to track higher since water consumption has not declined as

much as we anticipated. Facility Charges are lower relative to last year, but we anticipate building activity will increase this summer. Although Capital Assets and Major Repairs are lower than budgeted, the majority of funds are likely to be encumbered by the fiscal year end. As expected, the Cost of Issuance was higher due to the size and complexity of the bond sale. The $21 million in refunded savings more than offsets the increased cost. The Variable Rate Demand Bond Sale (VRDB) sale closed on the April 1, which increased our total debt outstanding to $807 million.

3. Staff recently enabled a new service with Bank of America to get better data

visibility into our accounts as part of our Business Intelligence initiative. Having the ability to dynamically export our account data on a daily basis will help our Accounting Division manage our funds more efficiently.

2. Notes to Interim Financial Report The Interim Financial Report summarizes the results of HRSD’s operations on a basis of accounting that differs from generally accepted accounting principles. Revenues are recorded on an accrual basis whereby they are recognized when billed. Expenses are generally recorded on a cash basis. No provision is made for non-cash items such as depreciation and bad debt expense.

This interim report does not reflect financial activity for capital projects contained in HRSD’s Capital Improvement Program.

Transfers represent certain budgetary policy designations as follows:

a. Transfer to CIP: represents current period’s cash and investments that are

designated to partially fund HRSD’s capital improvement program.

b. Transfers to Reserves: represents the current period’s cash and investments that have been set aside to meet HRSD’s cash and investments policy objectives.

TO: General Manager FROM: Director of Information Technology (IT) SUBJECT: Information Technology Department Report for April 2016 DATE: May 11, 2016 A. General

1. The system engineering group is currently upgrading network equipment (switches and routers) at each of HRSD’s treatment plants. The Boat Harbor and Chesapeake-Elizabeth treatment facilities were completed in April. James River and Nansemond treatment plants are on the schedule for May.

2. Staff continues to assess and improve information systems and network security. As part of this ongoing initiative, HRSD IT is working in conjunction with IT staff from customer jurisdictions. In addition to installing hardware, software and firmware updates, releases, at-risk servers and network hardware are regularly reviewed for replacement or modification. Ten such systems were taken offline or substantially upgraded this month.

3. HRSD’s Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is

being upgraded to provide enhanced mobile access and functionality. The latest version was successfully installed in a test environment to ensure it will work properly in the training and production environments.

4. Working closely with staff from the Water Quality Department, a pilot

project aimed at reducing paperwork in the field through the use of electronic forms is underway.

5. Programming staff continues to assist the Talent Management Department

in developing and testing file formats and data interchange associated with the Affordable Care Act, as required by the IRS.

6. Staff is investigating cloud-based options for both storage and productivity

applications (Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, etc.) as well as hybrid solutions that combine features of traditional on premise installations with cloud-based components. Recommendations will be presented to the HRSD Quality Steering Team no later than February 2017.

TO: General Manager FROM: Director of Operations SUBJECT: Operations Report for April 2016 DATE: May 3, 2016 A. Summary

1. All treatment plants met all VPDES permit requirements. 2. HRSD had one reportable air permit deviation and three odor control

exceptions during the month. 3. There were no Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) reported this month.

B. Interceptor Systems

1. North Shore (NS) Interceptor Systems responded to one after-hours interceptor alarm and one residential complaint. Both issues were minor in nature and resolved. NS Operations personnel spent a significant number of hours on the following project(s): a. Coliseum Pressure Reducing Station (PRS) and Off-Line

Storage Facility–Performed walk-through inspection of facilities to develop revised punch list. Performed Start-Up/Testing of PRS Pumps and Operational Scenarios

b. Westminster Drive Pipeline Failure–Completed site cleanup and restoration

2. South Shore (SS) Interceptor Systems worked with Engineering and

HRSD’s consultant to design a support system for the newly installed plug valve at the Central Trunk Interceptor Force Main A & B Main Line Valves project. The support system will alleviate further settlement, which caused two cracks in the existing pipe when the contractor first installed the valve.

Staff also supported the Atlantic Treatment Plant (ATP) by using the Vac-con trucks to clean out a combined solids holding tank that had several years of debris built up. It took approximately two days to clean out the tank.

Finally, SS Interceptor Systems assisted the City of Norfolk and HRSD’s Water Quality Department by removing contaminants flowing into the Virginia Beach Boulevard Pump Station.

C. Major Treatment Plant Operations 1. The Army Base Treatment Plant (ABTP) experienced one reportable non-

potable water (NPW) spill. While flushing an aeration tank, the drain system became overwhelmed and discharged 300 gallons into the storm drain.

Two Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) 129 reportable incidents occurred this month. The induced draft fan shut down once due to a power interruption and a second time due to low NPW pressure. Both incidents opened the bypass damper on the incinerator. One odor control exception occurred when a pH probe fouled. ABTP staff continues to work with Archer Western Contractors and HDR Consultants on Phase III Improvement Punch list items and warranty claims. The contractor TA Sheets installed a 10-inch NPW line for methanol fire suppression. The local contractor, BFPE, tested the fire suppression system. The test revealed incorrect wiring and a damaged sprinkler valve diaphragm. Both items were replaced and retesting is scheduled for May 2016. Solids handling experienced rapid scaling of the impingement scrubber due to caustic addition for MACT 129. The scaling caused operations to shut down on two separate occasions. Staff moved the caustic addition point to the venturi. At this writing, scaling has not hindered operations. The contractor Alberta Well Test Incinerators continues to install new burners on Incinerator 1. This incinerator should be ready for MACT 129 testing in June 2016.

2. ATP staff removed the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) bio-scrubber from service for a biannual cleaning and regenerated the iron sponges. Due to complications, staff turned off the CHP engines for a few days.

3. Multiple hearth incinerator (MHI) issues associated with the new MACT 129 air permit occurred this month at Boat Harbor Treatment Plant (BHTP). On both April 3 and April 21, the plant experienced three reportable incidents

Page 170: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

where flow was not sufficient to meet a 12-hour average flow requirement. During the April 3 event, staff discovered that the newly installed Distributive Control System (DCS) was not programmed to flag these permit exceptions as they occurred; staff immediately corrected the program. During the April 21 event, staff discovered that the existing packed bed nozzles were insufficiently sized and restricted flow. Staff replaced the packed bed nozzles with new larger nozzles, thereby resolving the flow issue. In addition, BHTP had one required use of the furnace bypass stack for more than one hour during April. The MHI unit experienced a failure of the MHI’s DCS April 7 that required the use of the emergency bypass stack for three hours and 25 minutes. Staff immediately stopped the MHI feed and completed the furnace burnout of solids thru the combustion zone. HRSD Operations and Instrumentation personnel worked to resolve the DCS problems to return the MHI to normal operation and reported the malfunction vent to DEQ per Title V permit requirements. On April 9, BHTP lost power to the second floor of the furnace building, causing an 11-minute use of the furnace bypass stack. Staff reset the breaker on the mezzanine floor but could not determine the source of the power loss.

Two odor exceptions occurred during the month of April. The first exception was due to the recirculation flow becoming saturated with Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). Staff increased the dilution flow to both stages of the odor scrubber and resolved the issue. The second odor exception occurred due to a malfunctioning probe, which staff resolved by switching the probe to pH mode. BHTP is preparing to take each of the six aeration tanks out of service for preventive maintenance and coatings inspections and repairs. Staff determined the tanks to be in critical condition during the most recent inspections, prompting the need for immediate repairs. It is important to repair the tanks in 2016, as they will need to be in service in 2017 to assist in meeting new nutrient limits in the James River basin.

4. Chesapeake-Elizabeth Treatment Plant (CETP) experienced six deviations

from its air permit. a. On April 7, a planned maintenance burnout caused two less-than-

minimum 12-hour average scrubber pressure drops and one less-than-minimum 12-hour average burn zone temperature.

b. On April 12, a power blip stopped the draft fan, which caused the emergency bypass stack to open for 11 minutes.

c. On April 28, a planned maintenance burnout caused one less-than-minimum 12-hour average scrubber pressure drop and one less-than-minimum 12-hour average burn zone temperature.

5. James River Treatment Plant’s (JRTP) average Final Effluent Total

Nitrogen was approximately 35 percent lower than the previous month. Treatment performance was aided by warmer raw influent wastewater temperatures. Plant staff continued efforts to reduce chemical usage for phosphorous removal by promoting mixed liquor fermentation in the Integrated Fixed Film Activated Solids (IFAS) anoxic zones and targeting chemical addition at high phosphorous concentrations in the ANITA-Mox effluent. Plant staff also completed piping modifications on the thickened solids line from the gravity belt thickener, allowing for better flow and metering of thickened solids. NS Maintenance assisted plant staff by replacing NPW hydrants throughout the plant.

6. At Nansemond Treatment Plant (NTP), the biological nutrient removal process performance was slightly higher than the monthly target concentrations for phosphorous and nitrogen. Total Phosphorous (TP) and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) concentrations were higher than normal. Staff fed ferrous sulfate for two weeks to offset the elevated influent phosphorous concentration.

The new Enterprise Data Server (EDS) data management application at NTP has been live for two and a half months. Staff has experienced no significant issues since startup. Application enhancements allow the use of offline data entry forms to bridge a lost connection to a data server. This will allow for a more efficient use of mobile technology for roaming data entry around the plant site.

7. The Virginia Initiative Plant (VIP) experienced two reportable MACT 129

deviations. On April 2, the scrubber pH dropped below the permit level despite steady furnace operation and caustic feed. On April 28, the bypass damper opened for six minutes when the NPW pump shut down during DCS setup for the VIP upgrade.

The following critical path work is in progress to meet new 2017 nutrient limits: power distribution, DCS integration and methanol facility construction. Power distribution involves installing electrical conduits in trenches throughout the plant site to provide power to new equipment. DCS integration and fine-tuning is a long but critical process requiring the involvement of all disciplines. Staff and HDR have been pre-planning and visiting methanol facilities as a proactive approach to implement critical details and construction layout of this complex installation.

8. Williamsburg Treatment Plant (WBTP) performed a planned maintenance shutdown for some of the larger electrical breakers. Staff diverted plant flow to empty tanks while treatment was offline. Another shutdown is planned for mid-May to perform maintenance on the remaining large electrical breakers.

9. Contractors at York River Treatment Plant (YRTP) substantially completed the Final Effluent pump project by installing the fourth pump. Staff is in the process of developing a punch list to close out the project.

D. Small Communities

The King William Treatment Plant (KWTP) Reuse/Reclaimed Water Pump Station successfully began this month, with a total of 0.620 Million Gallons (MG) pumped to the Nestle-Purina facility. The West Point Treatment Plant (WPTP) new chemical building construction continues with installation of instrumentation and power conduit; staff ordered new chemical feed pumps and mini-bulk storage to complete the project. The Urbanna Treatment Plant (UBTP) construction is ongoing for the new configuration, which includes completing new equalization pumps and feed and Return Activated Sludge/Waste Activated Sludge (RAS/WAS) pumps and feed. The new internal mixed liquor feed (IMLR) pumps/piping as well as the inDense will be installed in May with startup anticipated for June. The collection systems experienced no spills, odor complaints or other major issues for the month.

E. Support Systems 1. The Automotive Superintendent witnessed the load bank test for the

Coliseum Pump Station Generator. The unit operated as designed; however, problems with the day tank system were reported to the contractor and Engineering’s NS Design and Construction (D&C) project manager. The Automotive Superintendent, the City of Virginia Beach and Atlantic Machinery coordinated a demonstration of a Vac-Con sewer flusher at a Public Works Facility in Virginia Beach. HRSD personnel from SCD, NS Interceptors and Automotive Shops attended. Automotive and Electrical personnel performed routine load bank and generator tests at various HRSD pump stations. All generators operated as designed and were returned to service. The Automotive Superintendent attended the Go/No-Go meeting at State Street PS. Staff completed a generator load bank test and worked on plans to relocate the load bank exhaust vent and E-Stop.

2. The Carpentry Shop completed roofing inspections at various HRSD pump stations, constructed protective covers for the Avalanche Sampler in the Technical Services Division (TSD), completed and installed counters and safety cabinets in the Central Environmental Lab’s (CEL’s) Van #477, and fabricated manhole covers for the SS Pretreatment and Pollution Prevention (P3) Division. Carpenters began constructing three large stairs for the Providence Road pump station, three lockers for CEL personnel, finished constructing cabinets for the laboratory at ABTP and began designing cabinets for the SS Operations laundry room. The Machine Shop rebuilt the pump at #2 Suffolk pump station and completed 20 projects including fabricating valve stems and a custom screw drive shaft for BHTP, a large PVC flange for NTP, and a pump lifting yoke and grit screw drive shafts for VIP.

3. The Concrete-Coatings, Structural and Roofing Inspector oversaw 20

Coating and Concrete (C&C) projects. Wall cracks in the new aeration tanks at ABTP were repaired. The C&C, Structural and Roofing Inspector examined the interior of BHTP’s #2 aeration tank and found leaks and cracks in the walls and structural columns. Repairs were made and the tank is back in service. Restoration of the #1 and #2 digesters at NTP continues as well as coating and rehabilitation of aeration tank #6.

4. Facilities Maintenance worked with a contractor to complete the installation

of the hot water coil in the JRTP Solids Handling (SH) building. Contractors installed new counters and cabinets in the NTP SH laboratory, window shades in the SS Operations administration building, and a 70-ton heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the Water Quality Building.

F. Electrical and Energy Management

1. Electrical and Instrumentation project work continues to focus on the

installation of electrical infrastructure to support the Sustainable Water Reuse Initiative (SWRI) Pilot Project at YRTP.

2. Electrical and Instrumentation project work continues for the VIP upgrade. Staff conducted significant diesel generator and DCS tests this month. After receiving final approval to parallel the diesel generator system with the utility (closed transition), several operational cycles of the paralleling equipment were required to test and tune the equipment. In addition to the work on the diesel generators, staff successfully tested the automatic restart of the electrical equipment to ensure methodic restart of plant equipment and instrumentation after a power loss.

G. Water Technology and Research Staff is currently at the detailed design phase of a project to implement the CAMBI thermal hydrolysis process (THP) and high strength organic waste co-digestion system at ATP. There is some uncertainty associated with this project regarding the expected improvement in dewaterability and product cake solids. As part of the design and project justification, staff has assumed a very conservative improvement in cake solids from the current performance of 16-19 percent to 25 percent, as compared to the approximate 30-32 percent cake solids that are typically expected for a comparable plant upgrade. There are two reasons for this uncertainty. First, ATP has historically exhibited poor biosolids dewaterability. This is likely due in part to the intrusion of salt water into the collection system and elevated monovalent cation concentrations in ATP digested solids, as well as to the age and condition of the dewatering centrifuges. Second, the 54 MGD ATP expansion replaced the former high purity oxygen activated solids process with a more conventional anaerobic selector, plug flow process. This caused unintentional biological phosphorus removal (bioP), which was recently demonstrated to cause a significant deterioration in anaerobically-digested solids dewaterability. The specific mechanism for bioP-induced deterioration of dewaterability is an active topic of research, and HRSD continues to participate in national and international efforts to resolve these problems. This research work is relevant to ATP as well NTP and JRTP. Next month, the Water Technology and Research Director will report on several research projects related to this topic, and will provide a summary of an effort to address the question of expected cake solids improvement with the THP upgrade at ATP and to provide guidance for how the upgraded plant should be operated to maximize dewatering performance. This project is being conducted by an HRSD Research Intern, Jeff Nicholson, who is temporarily located and working with Dr. Matt Higgins at Bucknell University.

TO: General Manager FROM: Director of Water Quality (WQ) SUBJECT: Monthly Report for April 2016 DATE: May 13, 2016 A. General

1. No Civil Penalties were assessed this month. 2. The Director attended the Environment Virginia Symposium held in

Lexington, Virginia. Numerous presentations regarding the health of the Chesapeake Bay were provided. The federal Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Office provided a summary of how the next generation Chesapeake Bay watershed model will affect the Bay nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment Total Maximum Daily Loads, or TMDLs. EPA was asked if the new model was expected to change the TMDL targets for each parameter and river. EPA responded that they did not expect the targets to be changed significantly; however, such a change was not quantified. This is one of several variables that HRSD is monitoring relative to future permit requirements and need for facility upgrades.

3. The Director attended the annual Water Policy Forum in Washington, DC.

Each year the EPA summarizes its activities pertaining to protection of the environment and human health. This year, as with last year, the most significant activity relative to HRSD pertains to the development of water quality criteria for viruses. EPA has changed its plan to finalize these criteria in 2017 rather than 2016, which sets the stage for Virginia to adopt these criteria as water quality standards in the following years and include limits for viruses in HRSD permits in the next five to six years. The Water Quality Department has added staff and resources necessary to meet this challenge. Water Quality will continue to work with the Operations Department to develop and implement a strategy for permit compliance in this time frame.

4. The Director attended the Water Environment Research Foundation’s

(WERF) Research Council meeting in Alexandria, VA as a Council member. The Council met to review and discuss current research conducted by WERF on behalf of its subscribers as well as topics for future research. The Director emphasized the need for WERF to be responsive to its subscribers’ needs and that these needs often change over months

Page 189: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

versus years. Therefore, more emphasis on very specific research projects rather than broad multi-year programs is in order and WERF’s funding approach should support that emphasis. The Director also introduced the idea of WERF leading research on the topic of designated uses and how they are established. The designated uses of a water body represent a very important part of the water quality standards package for each state and are often characterized relative to aquatic life, recreation, fishing, drinking water and habitat. Most designated uses were established decades ago with little thought as to whether they were attainable. Guidance helping the states to establish appropriate designated uses largely does not exist. Since waterbody use designation is critical to the success of the Clean Water Act and the ability of organizations like HRSD to support the goals of the Act, it seems that this topic deserves much more attention than it has received. The Research Council agreed to pursue this idea.

5. The 23rd Annual Pretreatment Excellence and Pollution Prevention Awards

Ceremony and Luncheon was held on April 20, 2016 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia. Three industries were honored for their outstanding multi-media Pollution Prevention efforts. Pretreatment Excellence Awards were presented to 105 permitted facilities who achieved perfect compliance for at least the full calendar year of 2015. Thirteen of those industries were recognized for 10 or more years of perfect compliance and 27 of those industries were recognized for five to nine years of perfect compliance.

6. The Central Environmental Laboratory (CEL) hosted a tour for

representatives from the Virginia Department of Health and Office of Drinking Water as part of a Sustainable Water Recycling Initiative workshop. An overview of the Technical Services Division (TSD) was presented, and the tour of the CEL focused on innovative technologies and methods for microbiological source tracking, coliphage analysis, method development and the status of the CEL’s capabilities to analyze Compounds of Emerging Concern.

B. Quality Improvement and Strategic Team Activities

1. The Sustainability Advocacy Group (SAG) rolled out on April 26 the 2016 One Thing Challenge, which focuses on Material Reuse. The challenge will run through October 31, when the SAG will determine the finalists, followed by a vote from the entire organization to determine the top winners in early 2017. The SAG also held many face-to-face meetings with the treatment plants in February/March and we are now looking to schedule presentations to other work centers in the summer. The goal of these

Page 190: COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES No. Topic Page · 24/05/2016  · Meeting held at 1434 Air Rail Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Page 7 of 18 average sewer collection system rate for the

meetings is to promote HRSD’s sustainable initiatives, answer any related questions, and to solicit ideas from all of the work centers. Lastly, the team is working on putting together a “Sustainable HRSD” marketing handout, identifying a couple of potential ponds in Hampton Roads where a floating treatment wetland may be beneficial to the community, and investigating options for composting food waste.

2. The Pretreatment and Pollution Prevention (P3) Technology Team reported

no activity for the month of April. 3. The Pretreatment Information Management System (PIMS) Team reported

that in April work on the new internet based Publicly Owned Treatment Works Administration and Compliance System (iPACS) and the Field Assistant Service Tracking (FAST) application continued. Updated software releases for both iPACS and FAST were received and changes are being verified. Live testing of the two-way interface between iPACS and SampleManager will occur in May and will address sample requesting, use of an electronic Chain of Custody and analytical results.

4. The TSD Technology Team and HRSD’s Information Technology

Department have finalized the agreement to perform a product pilot to evaluate a digital transformation forms program. Testing will begin in June. This new technology allows users to digitally capture data in the field with immediate validation. The digital forms program could be run on various platforms including iPads and tablets.

5. The WQ Communication Team continues to monitor and measure inter-

divisional communication issues within the WQ Department. Quarterly reports will be distributed to the WQ Quality Steering Team (QST).

C. Municipal Assistance

e. TSD staff assisted the City of Newport News to identify the sources of bacterial contamination in high priority watersheds as identified through citizen monitoring.

f. TSD staff assisted the City of Chesapeake and the Elizabeth River Project with bacterial monitoring and fecal source identification in the Indian River.

3. North Shore/South Shore Capacity Related Overflows: 0 4. Industrial Waste Related System Issues - The City of Norfolk contacted P3

regarding a sheen accompanied by a solvent/paint thinner smell in their pump station (PS) off Village Avenue (PS 52) on April 18. HRSD was asked to check its Virginia Beach Boulevard PS (PS 130). Interceptors found the same substance at PS 130 and reported back to P3. P3 contacted Hepaco to pump out the HRSD station while P3 Specialists proceeded to the field and investigated 13 facilities that discharge to PS 52 but could not identify a source. The waste was no longer being discharged into the system and residue could not be found at any of the facilities. P3 did identify a couple of facilities that provide commercial painting services; these facilities will be monitored in the future. Impact to treatment did not occur as HRSD was successful in keeping the waste contained in PS 130 and allowing Hepaco to remove the entire illicit discharge from this PS.
