a)
Service Area Description. Define the area and
users to be served by the proposed facilities. Any known users
that are to be excluded from the service area or that will
require pretreatment prior to discharge to the wastewater
facilities should be identified.
b)
Projected Flows and Loads. Summarize wastewater
flows and loads to be handled by the proposed facilities in
accordance with Section 3 of this handbook and as defined in the
par. 2.5.1, Capacity Analysis Report. Identify major industrial
and other significant discharges, such as ship holding tank
discharges. In general, provide flows in 5-year increments over
the planning period for the facilities. A 20-year plan should
normally be used for evaluating wastewater facilities.
c)
Effluent Requirements. Provide tentative effluent
limitations based on review of regulatory requirements and
discussions with the governing regulatory agency. Potential
future changes to the effluent limitations should also be
discussed.
d)
Residuals Solids Handling Requirements. Provide
anticipated disposal methods for residual solids and associated
regulatory requirements. Methods may include current practices
such as landfilling and land application.
e)
Other Regulatory Requirements. Identify other
regulatory requirements that may affect the facility's evaluation
and design, including reliability requirements, air pollution
standards, noise ordinances, and hazardous material storage and
handling requirements.
2.7.2
Alternatives Evaluations. In general, alternatives
evaluations should be performed to determine the facility
configuration and processes that will most cost effectively meet
the requirements identified in the design basis. In some cases, if
a facility is being expanded and it is designed for expansion using
the same processes, only limited evaluations may be required (such
as alternative equipment selections). However, if an analysis to
determine cost effectiveness is not performed, the basis for
selecting the proposed facilities should still be documented.
Evaluate alternatives for liquid treatment processes to
meet effluent limitations and solids treatment processes for
handling and disposing of residuals. When evaluating liquids
treatment processes, consider how the processes will affect the
