Compliance Project Description Sample Clauses
The Compliance Project Description clause defines the scope and specific requirements of a compliance-related project within an agreement. It typically outlines the objectives, deliverables, timelines, and standards that must be met to ensure regulatory or contractual compliance. By clearly detailing what is expected from the parties involved, this clause helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on the project's compliance obligations.
Compliance Project Description. The Compliance Project consists of upgrading and repairing sections of the collection system. This will help to reduce inflow and infiltration, sources of significant violations during the rainy season. Violations that can occur due to high flows are: effluent limit violations associated with Coliform, BOD, TSS, Chlorine, Settleable Solids, pH and Chlorine. Inflow is storm water that enters the sewer system from the storm drains. This water comes from runoff from the streets during the rainy season. Infiltration is groundwater that enters the sewer system through cracks or leaks in the sewer pipes. Groundwater can enter through these cracks or leaks whenever sewer lines lie beneath the water table or when the soil above the sewer systems becomes saturated. Groundwater is clean water that, when it enters the sewer system, causes high flows and unnecessary work for the treatment facility. The proposed work will eliminate cracks and leaks, and lower the inflow and infiltration to the collection system and the wastewater treatment plant.

Compliance Project Description. The Discharger has proposed a compliance project to make capital improvements to its collection system, primarily reducing infiltration and inflow (I & I). Discharger has demonstrated that addressing I & I will reduce flow within its collection system, thereby increasing the facility’s ability to maintain compliance with effluent limitations and Order conditions pursuant to its current NPDES Permit and WDRs Order No. R1-2018-0046. The Discharger’s compliance project proposal consists of three separate capital improvements related to I & I reduction within the collection system. The Discharger plans to replace a vitrified clay pipe that runs along California Street in Ferndale with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, install two (2) manholes, and replace the residential sewer laterals to the manhole cleanouts. Flow monitoring at the facility confirm that the system is allowing water to enter the sewer system year- round (I & I mentioned above). Replacing the sewer should reduce the system’s total annual I & I by about 5%, which will result in a 10% reduction in total volume directed to the storage pond. Data on the evaluation of I & I on California Street suggests that replacing this section of the Discharger’s collection system will provide the best benefit for the cost and will reduce the greatest possible portion of I & I entering the collection system compared to other potential repairs or replacements.
Compliance Project Description. The Discharger has proposed a Compliance Project (CP) consisting of three separate improvements to wastewater collection, prioritization, and rehabilitation. The first aspect of the project consists of the purchase and installation of a sewer camera crawler for the purposes of inspecting and identifying key areas of concern associated with discharge violations. The camera crawler will help to reduce the cost of rehabilitation by allowing the Discharger to pinpoint problem areas before and after rehabilitation occurs. The camera crawler manufacturer will provide specialized training to the Discharger’s management staff. To ensure the Discharger’s staff possess the appropriate skills and knowledge to perform camera crawler operation, sanitary sewer troubleshooting, repair technologies, and infiltration and inflow (I/I) diagnostics, the Discharger’s management will incorporate the training material into general staff training sessions throughout the course of this project. The second aspect of the project consists of monitoring lift station pumping data to prioritize zones that receive the highest I/I of stormwater. Updated lift station monitoring equipment will identify locations of high stormwater inflow. Locations where inflow of stormwater is a result of a landowner’s system, the Discharger will work with the individual to identify the solution and require that the landowner implement work needed to resolve the problem. The Discharger’s staff will inspect properties that are identified as high contributors to stormwater I/I, and work with the property owner to develop and implement a rehabilitation plan and schedule. Should a landowner fail to implement a rehabilitation plan in a timely manner, the Discharger may suspend utility service. The Discharger’s staff will investigate the manholes and cleanouts uphill from the lift stations to identify areas of high infiltration. After identifying the problem sections, the Discharger’s staff will operate the camera crawler after introducing dye tablets to the system, in order to identify specific problems within the system to be addressed uphill from the lift stations. Dye tracing will help identify manholes, pipes, and junctions with stormwater I/I, and establish the flow path of the storm drain network. Through visualization, the Discharger’s staff will better understand the root cause of the I/I problems and potentially be able identify the most cost-effective solution(s). The final aspect of the project consi...
Compliance Project Description. Project Purpose:
Compliance Project Description. The Discharger has difficulty meeting Total Suspended Solids and Biochemical Oxygen Demand effluent limits due to old trickling filters at the WWTF. The Discharger plans to retire the trickling filter units and replace them with an activated sludge treatment process. The purpose of the CP is to provide engineering design services for upgrades to the WWTF. The design services are estimated to be approximately $750,000 with funds allocated by the Discharger. Construction will be funded by a combination of local funding and Clean Water State Revolving Fund loans, is anticipated to begin by 2016, and will take approximately 2 years to complete. The detailed CP description is attached hereto as Attachment A. MILESTONE DEADLINE
Compliance Project Description. The City owns and operates the San ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Plant (Facility). The Central Coast Water Board regulates the waste discharged from the Facility pursuant to Order No. R3-2009- 0019, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit CA0047902.
Compliance Project Description. The Discharger has proposed, and is in the process of implementing, a CP consisting of two separate improvements to wastewater treatment efficiency. The first aspect of the project is the replacement of eight existing aerators in Oxidation Pond 1 with eight aerator/blower units. Additional work for this aspect of the project includes replacing the existing electrical transformer, installing a new motor control center for the aerators and blowers and installing electrical line for the blower units. This project will improve biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) treatment in the Oxidation Ponds by providing a source of dissolved oxygen when it is not naturally saturating the wastewater. Additionally, blowers will suspend accumulated solids in Oxidation Pond 1, making the material available for treatment and redistribution within the natural treatment system. The second aspect of the CP is the installation of a baffle wall in Oxidation Pond 2 in an east/west orientation. Additional work for this aspect of the project includes an anchoring system and coordination with the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade engineering team to ensure the baffle wall is compatible with planned oxidation pond modifications. This project will reduce short-circuiting in Oxidation Pond 2, thereby increasing hydraulic retention time and improving treatment efficiency. The primary benefit to water quality is improved biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) treatment in the Oxidation Ponds and a decreased potential for the formation of disinfection byproducts in the chlorine contact basin. Per the project schedule, the CP will be completed by February 26, 2021. Separately from the proposed Compliance Project, the City of Arcata is implementing and planning additional projects that will serve to produce a higher quality effluent, further reducing the potential for effluent limit violations. At present the City’s wastewater treatment facility upgrade project (Upgrade Project) is underway, with first phase completed June 30, 2020, and second phase due to be completed by June 30, 2024. The first phase of the Upgrade Project will include construction of a new 9.8 MGD ultraviolet light disinfection system to replace the existing chlorine disinfection system. During the Complaint period, forty percent of the cited violations were associated with the chlorine disinfection process, namely, effluent limitation violations for disinfection by-products (dichlorobromomethane, carbon tetrachloride and cyanide) and...
Compliance Project Description. Discharger has proposed a two-part project with the objective of updating Crescent City WWTP’s computer system and monitoring devices in order to correct the alleged violations and return to compliance. The first phase of the project will replace the outdated computer system with modern System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computers, as well as replacing the outdated hardware/software. SCADA computers are used to control, monitor, and analyze industrial wastewater treatment. Many of Discharger’s effluent limitation violations were the result of the facility’s outdated, manual computer system. The facility experiences frequent power outages, causing the chemical dosing pumps to shut down and require a manual restart. While the facility has a backup generator, even a brief interruption in electricity disrupts the treatment process. Through the installation of new hardware and software, Crescent City will be able to automate the chemical treatment system and reduce circumstantial effluent limitation violations. The second phase of the project aims to replace the Facility's outdated reagent- based chlorine analyzers with modern amperometric monitoring devices. Similar to the current computer system at Crescent City WWTP, the facility’s current monitoring devices require daily, manual maintenance. Many of the effluent limit violations that Crescent City WWTP has experienced during the violation review period are the result of power outages that interrupt the chemical dosing pumps and chlorine monitoring devices. The new chlorine analyzers will require minimal maintenance, no reagents, and be less susceptible to failure proceeding a power outage. Crescent City plans to buy three new chlorine analyzers (one for chlorine dose, one for chlorine residual, and one spare in case either of the other two needs replacement). This Compliance Project will allow Crescent City WWTP to automate their wastewater treatment process, resulting in a reduction of effluent limit violations and a return to compliance.
