E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

QA Plan

A copy of our Laboratoryrsquos current Quality Assurance Plan is included as Attachment 3 The Quality Assurance Plan was updated in July 2008

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

QA Plan

A copy of our Laboratoryrsquos current Quality Assurance Plan is included as Attachment 3 The Quality Assurance Plan was updated in July 2008

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

QA Plan

A copy of our Laboratoryrsquos current Quality Assurance Plan is included as Attachment 3 The Quality Assurance Plan was updated in July 2008

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

QA Plan

A copy of our Laboratoryrsquos current Quality Assurance Plan is included as Attachment 3 The Quality Assurance Plan was updated in July 2008

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) NPDES Permit No R9-2002-0025 South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) NPDES Permit NoCA0109045 Order No 2006-067

In both cases we participated in DMRQA Study 29 as issued by Environmental Resource Associates (See attachment 4 for copy of full report) All methods and analytes were within acceptance limits with the exception of Test Code 42 (Mysid 48-h acute non-renewal FSW) Toxicity Bioassay A preliminary review of all pertinent laboratory practices and records pointed to a reporting artifact as the most probable cause of the anomalous result where the Cityrsquos findings (LC50 66105) exceeded the upper acceptable limit of 661 by five one-thousandth of a percentage point A remedial action sample and a new batch of test organisms were ordered and the remedial action test was initiated on October 14 2009 The test met the acceptability criterion of gt90 control survival and the sample exhibited a median lethal concentration of 556 which fell within the QC Performance Acceptable Limits of 148 to 619

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

QA Plan

A copy of our Laboratoryrsquos current Quality Assurance Plan is included as Attachment 3 The Quality Assurance Plan was updated in July 2008

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

E QA Report Summary (excerpt from our Quality AssuranceQuality Control Report for Calendar Year 2009 March 30 2010)

Overview

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section Metropolitan Wastewater Department City of San Diego performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the City of San Diego EW Blom Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) We also performs the chemicalphysical testing of ocean sediment and fish tissue samples for the Ocean monitoring program for the City of San Diego (PLWWTP Ocean Outfall and SBWRP Ocean Outfall) and the International Boundary and Water Commission International Treatment Plant outfall We also perform environmental testing for various customers both internal to the City of San Diego and for other agencies

The QAQC activities of the Laboratory are comprehensive and extensive Of the 38470 samples received in the Laboratory in 2009 approximately 33 were Quality Control (QC) samples such as blanks check samples standard reference materials etc 108 different analyses were performed throughout the year resulting in 264297 analytical determinations Of the determinations 113352(~43) were QC determinations (eg blanks lab replicates matrix spikes surrogates etc) used to determine the accuracy precision and performance of each analysis and batch

We have 5 separate laboratory facility locations each with its own California ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) certification for the fields of testing required under California regulations This is a rigorous program involving continuing independent blind performance testing biannual comprehensive audits and extensive documentation requirements Each of the 5 laboratory facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) Department are independently certified and copies of those certifications are included at Attachment 1 California ELAP certifies fields of testing (methodsanalytes) only for Water Wastewater and Hazardous materials for which methods are published in the Federal Register or specifically approved in regulation by USEPA Additionally the Laboratory performs analyses using methods for which certification does not exist such as ocean sediment and sea water determinations Those methods have been developed in-house derived from or in collaboration with other scientific laboratories (eg Scripps Institute of Oceanography Southern California Coastal Water Research Project et al) and have been used extensively in multi-agency EPA and State sponsored studies over the past several years Many methods of analysis developed for matrices and applications not within ELAP jurisdiction have been adapted from ELAP listed methods In all cases we apply generally accepted standards of performance and quality control to methods

Additionally the operating division and all Metro Department Laboratories maintained International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification

Contract laboratories are also required to use only approved methods for which they hold certification for andor are approved by the appropriate regulatory agency (eg SDRWQCB) Copies of their certifications are included as Attachment 2

The following report summarizes the QAQC activities during 2009 and documents the laboratory information and certifications for those laboratories which provided data used in NPDES and other permit monitoring or environmental testing during the year

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

The information presented in this report applies to the Wastewater Chemistry Services Section including all of the laboratories listed above unless specified otherwise The main laboratory at Alvarado is the main office for the WCS and contains the most extensive laboratory facilities of the several laboratories Along with a variety of process control and wet chemistry analyses this facility also handles all of the trace metals pesticidesorganics determinations and other analyses The satellite laboratories are primarily dedicated to process control wet chemistry and other analyses directly related to the support of the operations of the co-located wastewater treatment plant

The Wastewater Chemistry Services Section performs most of the NPDES and other permit and process control chemical and physical testing for the

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8349

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

A small portion of the required monitoring testing is sub-contracted out to laboratories certified by ELAP for those analyses specifically

Gross alpha- and Beta radiations are analyzed by Test America Laboratories Inc Total organic carbon (TOC) in water are analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory City of San Diego Water Department Dioxin and Furans in solids are analyzed by TestAmerica West Sacramento

Copies of these laboratoriesrsquo ELAP certifications are included as attachment 2 The City of San Diego pays for additional QC samples (replicates blanks spikes) as a routine quality check on sub-contracted laboratory work This is beyond the usual and customary practices with contract laboratory work

Ocean monitoring While there are no recognized State certifications for laboratory analyses of marine environmental samples (eg seawater sediments various tissues etc) the City of San Diego has been a leader in the development and standardization of analytical methods for determinations in these areas Many of the methods are novel approaches developed after extensive research and development from other published work (eg organo-tin analyses sediment grain size etc) or adaptations of exiting EPA methods (eg SW 846 Method 8082 for PCB congeners in sediments etc) In all of these cases we participate in extensive inter-laboratory calibration studies Some of the most extensive studies have involved the participation of several public academicresearch and private laboratories under the umbrella of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) These programs are repeated periodically as part of the Southern California Bight Regional MonitoringSurvey Project This is a massive sampling and monitoring program participated in by all of the major Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) California Water Resource Control Boards and research organizations Our laboratory is a reference (referee) laboratory for the NRCC (National Research Council of Canada) CARP-2 Certified Reference Material (CRM) for fish tissue This was adopted as the standard reference material for QC QA for the Southern California Bight Regional Project This sample is also used world-wide as a standard reference material We have worked with NIST to develop a West Coast marine sediment and fish tissue standard reference material (SRM)

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Performance Testing (PT) Studies for 2009

The Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory participates in required ELAP and USEPA PT studies throughout the year We participated in 16 PT studies in 2009 Each of our geographically separated laboratory facilities participated individually (as required by ELAP) All PT studies were purchased from ERA and were successfully completed When results submitted were determined to be outside of study acceptance limits the laboratory reviewed internal protocols modified procedures were necessary and participated in a subsequent study for the analytes in question A PT study was completed with satisfactory results for all analytes by in-house chemistry laboratories

The results of the Laboratory PT studies for 2009 are summarized in the following tables

DMRQA (Discharge Monitoring Report ndash Quality Assurance)

We also participate as dischargers in the EPA DMRQA16 Studies required by the NPDES permit monitoring for the following two WWTP

Pt Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP) NPDES Permit No R9-2002-0025 South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) NPDES Permit NoCA0109045 Order No 2006-067

In both cases we participated in DMRQA Study 29 as issued by Environmental Resource Associates (See attachment 4 for copy of full report) All methods and analytes were within acceptance limits with the exception of Test Code 42 (Mysid 48-h acute non-renewal FSW) Toxicity Bioassay A preliminary review of all pertinent laboratory practices and records pointed to a reporting artifact as the most probable cause of the anomalous result where the Cityrsquos findings (LC50 66105) exceeded the upper acceptable limit of 661 by five one-thousandth of a percentage point A remedial action sample and a new batch of test organisms were ordered and the remedial action test was initiated on October 14 2009 The test met the acceptability criterion of gt90 control survival and the sample exhibited a median lethal concentration of 556 which fell within the QC Performance Acceptable Limits of 148 to 619

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

17 Calculations are performed by a computer database application working with Metro System flow and concentration data

IREPORTSPT_LOMAAnnualsAnnual2009FinalSections2009__Annualdocx Appendices 8357

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

G System-wide calculation definition

System-wide removals are a practical extension of the ―Adjusted Removals previously reported Adjusted removals were used to determine removal efficiency of TSS and BOD during the period when biosolids dewatering occurred at Fiesta Island The wastewater removed by dewatering (eg belt filter press or drying bed decant) was returned to the Point Loma WWTP headworks and contained a certain amount of solids In order to account for the removal and return of TSS and BOD on a complete mass-balance basis the Adjusted Removals were determined That calculation was relatively straight forward and included removing the contribution to the Pt Loma WWTP influent of the returned stream The calculation was done on a mass balance basis to fully account for the solids and BOD contributions returned back to the system

With the replacement of Fiesta Island biosolids processing by the Metro Biosolids Center (MBC) and the addition of the NCWRP (North City Water Reclamation Plant) in the Metro System the removal and return of solids to Pt Loma WWTP was complicated by the addition of multiple inputs and outputs to the system To calculate the system-wide removals the net total inputs and outputs were determined and included in the updated calculation17 The determination of System-wide removals is represented by Equation 1 on the next page This simplified diagram graphically shows the relationships of the input and output streams The Tijuana interceptor (emergency connection) has not contributed flows since September 2003 The South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) is not shown since it currently has no net contribution or solids removal

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

The TSS and BOD5 concentrations together with the flow rate of each stream are measured daily and mass emissions (pounds a day) for each stream determined The above formula is applied on the resultant mass balances and the system-wide removals calculated for each day In the event that a data value (eg flow rate measurement TSS concentration or BOD5 concentration) is not available for a stream the median value for the previous calendar year for that stream is used as a surrogate number to allow completion of the calculation The annual averages and summaries in the system-wide data tables are derived (arithmetic mean) from the monthly averages of the daily calculated mass emissions values and removal rates

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

3 REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA

31 Data Sources

Flow data from the Citys Gould ADS and PS-2 flow metering systems for the 2009 calendar year are attached in Appendix A Each monthly summary table includes the average daily flow (ADF) along with the maximum daily flow rate minimum daily flow rate and standard deviation of all the daily flow rates A summary of the yearly data that is included in Appendix B is summarized in Table 3-1 Note that the minimum and maximum values did not necessarily occur on the same day Therefore the percent

32 Data Analysis

Using the information in Appendix A VampA performed a graphical analysi~ of the daily flow data and generated Figure 3-1 through 3-5 below Data analysis was conducted using visual and statistical procedures The Gould flow data was used as the prime measurement for all statistical comparisons The percent difference of any data type between systems was calculated as follows

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

3 REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA

31 Data Sources

Flow data from the Citys Gould ADS and PS-2 flow metering systems for the 2009 calendar year are attached in Appendix A Each monthly summary table includes the average daily flow (ADF) along with the maximum daily flow rate minimum daily flow rate and standard deviation of all the daily flow rates A summary of the yearly data that is included in Appendix B is summarized in Table 3-1 Note that the minimum and maximum values did not necessarily occur on the same day Therefore the percent

1

differences for the dates on which the minimum and maximum Gould flow metering system ADF occurred are included as well

32 Data Analysis

Using the information in Appendix A VampA performed a graphical analysi~ of the daily flow data and generated Figure 3-1 through 3-5 below Data analysis was conducted using visual and statistical procedures The Gould flow data was used as the prime measurement for all statistical comparisons The percent difference of any data type between systems was calculated as follows

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

3 REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA

31 Data Sources

Flow data from the Citys Gould ADS and PS-2 flow metering systems for the 2009 calendar year are attached in Appendix A Each monthly summary table includes the average daily flow (ADF) along with the maximum daily flow rate minimum daily flow rate and standard deviation of all the daily flow rates A summary of the yearly data that is included in Appendix B is summarized in Table 3-1 Note that the minimum and maximum values did not necessarily occur on the same day Therefore the percent

32 Data Analysis

Using the information in Appendix A VampA performed a graphical analysi~ of the daily flow data and generated Figure 3-1 through 3-5 below Data analysis was conducted using visual and statistical procedures The Gould flow data was used as the prime measurement for all statistical comparisons The percent difference of any data type between systems was calculated as follows

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

1 INTRODUCTION

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

11 Background

The Point Lama Wastewater Treatment Plant (Pt Lorna WWTP) is located in San Diego California on the Point Lorna peninsula near the Cabrillo National Monument The design capacity of this plant is approximately 240 million gallons of wastewater per day (mgd) The average daily flow ADF) for calendar year 2009 was approximately 153 mgd There are currently three independent flow measurement systems in place

1 Gould Flow Metering System at Pt Lama WWTP 2 Controlotron Ultrasonic Flow Meters at Pump Station 2 (PS-2) 3 ADS Ultrasonic Flow Metering System at Pt Lorna WWTP

The influent flow at the Pt Lama WWTP is measured by four Parshall flumes at the Headworks of the Pt Lama WWTP There are two 6-foot long flumes designated as C-1 and C-2 and two 8-foot long flumes designated as N-1 and N-2 Water depth in each flume is measured by two independent meters

Gould flow meters measure flow depth directly via hydrostatic pressure measurement The Gould flow metering system consists of pressure transducers housed in stilling wells located adjacent to each of the Parshall flumes The Gould flow meters measure depth of flow in the flumes which are then converted to flow values by computer software

At PS-2 Controlotron ultrasonic flow meters are located on each of the eight pump discharge pipes The flows from each pump are totaled to calculate the average daily flow to the Pt Lama WWTP

Meters provided by ADS measure flow depth indirectly via ultrasonic measurement of the distance to the flow surface below the meter sensor (transducer) subtracted from the measured and known distance from the sensor face to the flume channel invert The ADS flow metering system uses ultrasonic depth sensors located over each of the Parshall flumes The ADS Quadredundant Ultrasonic Level Sensors incorporate ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the sensors to the liquid surface being measured The ADS software then calculates depth of flow and ultimately daily flow from the depth versus discharge rating curves for each flume

Although there are three independent sources that record flow data only flow data recorded by the Gould flow metering system are officially reported to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)

12 Purpose of Study

Every year the City of San Diego (City) is required to provide a report of total plant flow to the RWQCB and to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) As part of this review for calendar year 2009 VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell to evaluate the measurement of ADF influent to the Pt Lama WWTP and evaluate any discrepancies that may exist among the Gould ADSand PS-2 flow metering systems

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

2 SCOPE OF WORK

21 Scope of Work by VampA

VampA was retained by Brown and Caldwell for certification of the four Gould Flow Metering devices located at the Pt Loma WWTP This certification includes verifying that the Gould devices are accurately recording flow within acceptable tolerances(+- 5 from theoretical values) through the Parshall flumes by performing the following tasks

I

1) Data Review and Analysis - Examine existing flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems Update and analyze the flow data for the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering systems for reporting discrepancies between the systems and report on the findings

2) Field Review and Witness Inspection - Perform a field review of the Gould metering system with

regards to the appropriateness of the instrumentation configuration data collection and reporting

systems Provide witness inspection and assist City personnel in performing static confirmation

testing of the calibration of each Gould transducer and electronic data recording system over the full

depth range of the flume using the Citys test cylinder Collect simulated flow data reported through

the flow recording system located in the Engineering Building with assistance from City staff

Compare the simulated data to the theoretically calculated data of depth of flow through the Parshall

flume

3) Draft Report(s) - Prepare a Preliminary Draft Report for Brown and Caldwells review regarding the

results of the inspections together with conclusions and recommendations The Preliminary Draft will

be provided in electronic (Word) format only (ie no hardcopies) Brown and Caldwell will provide

VampA with comments to the Preliminary Draft Report through Track Changes VampA will address Brown

and Caldwells comments in developing the Draft Report to be delivered to the City VampA will provide

three (3) hardcopies of the Draft Report to Brown and Caldwell two for the City and one for Brown

and Caldwells files along with one electronic copy in PDF format

22 Scope of Work by City of San Diego

The City provided the following items to assist in the completion of this wor~

1) Daily flow data from the Gould ADS and PS-2 flow measurement systems from January 1 2009 through December 31 2009

2) All labor necessary to remove test and reinstall each of the Gould transducers and suspension brackets for each of the four flumes examined

3 REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA

31 Data Sources

Flow data from the Citys Gould ADS and PS-2 flow metering systems for the 2009 calendar year are attached in Appendix A Each monthly summary table includes the average daily flow (ADF) along with the maximum daily flow rate minimum daily flow rate and standard deviation of all the daily flow rates A summary of the yearly data that is included in Appendix B is summarized in Table 3-1 Note that the minimum and maximum values did not necessarily occur on the same day Therefore the percent

1

differences for the dates on which the minimum and maximum Gould flow metering system ADF occurred are included as well

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

Figure 3-4 Percent Difference in Recorded Flow vs Time (ADSGould Flow Meters)- Plot of the

percent difference for the ADS measuring system for the 2009 calendar year The difference between the average daily flow recorded by the ADS and Gould flow meters varied from 458 in July to -977 in October Notice that the line representing the ADS percent difference is discontinuous due to the 27 days of the year in which no ADS data was available It appears that the discrepancy between the ADS and Gould measurements increased significantly in June 2009 and decreased in November 2009

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

4 FIELD TEST AND FLOW ANALYSIS

41 Test Set up

A static test and calibration of the four Parshall flumes and transmitting systems was performed by Pt Lorna WWTP personnel and witnessed by VampA representatives on February 9 2010 The following instruments test equipment and reports were used during the test

bull Static water well

bull Gould Transducers (4 units)

bull Fluke Multi-Meter (Model 45)

bull Operator Station (Computer)

bull Gould Transducers calibration reports

bull Fluke Multi-Meter calibration reports

The following procedures were performed for each of the four flumes

1 The Gould transducer was removed cleaned and inserted into the static water well

2 The transducer was connected to the Fluke Multi-Meter which measured the depth in converted milliamperes (mA)

3 The transducer was connected to the operating station for actual flow data

42 Test and Calibration

The Gould transducers were tested and calibrated using the Fluke Model 45 Multi-Meter described above Measured transducer accuracy was based on the Multi-Meter accuracy The Multi-Meter was calibrated so that a reading of 533 mA would correspond to 0 inches of water depth and a reading of 20 mA would correspond to 36 inches of water depth

The transducers were linked to the Operator Station computers located in the Pt Lama WWTP

Engineering Building The computers calculated flow values from the rnA current measurements At the beginning of each of the four tests the water well depth was 0 inches The water depth was increased in 9-inch increments until it reached a full depth of 36 inches At each interval a measurement of both the flow value and the multi-meter reading was obtained The water depth ~as then reduced in 9-inch increments until the water depth was returned to 0 inches

During the testing of the transducer for flume C-2 it was noted that the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage was inconsistent with the transducers in the other flumes As a result the C-2 transducer was replaced at the conclusion of the test

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

43 Flow Analysis

The discharge relationship for the Parshall flumes is given by the following equation

Q =Kb(H)n (1)

026Where n = 1522(b)0

b =width feet (ft) K =4 forbgt 4

H = height of water flume floor feet (ft)

Q =Flow cubic feet per second (cfs)

(1 cfs = 0646 mgd)

The computer program receiving the Gould transducer readings uses the above equation to produce the

output flow values To compare the computer-generated values with the theoretical values the

dimensional widths of the Parshall flumes were obtained from design drawings provided by City

personnel The design values of 6 feet and 8 feet were used in the equation to obtain the theoretical flow

values

For C-1 and C-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

594Q = (4)(6)(0646)(H)1

594 = 15504(H) 1

For N-1 and N-2 the following calculation was used to calculate the flow in mgd

607Q = (4)(8)(0646)(H)1607= 20672H) 1

To perform an analysis of system accuracy average flow and measurement values were then obtained

for each transducer Table C-1 in Appendix C compares the data collected in the field to the theoretical

values

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

51 Conclusions

1) No major discrepancies were found between the Gould ADS and PS-2 metering devices for the

2009 calendar year

2) Instrumentation test set-up data collection and reporting systems meet the requirements

3) Based on the existing data it is certified that the Gould meters are reccgtrding flow accurately and

within 5 of the calculated theoretical value

4) The percentage difference between the theoretical and practical flow for each of the flows are

close to one another and show no distinctive variance above or below the average daily flow

5) The three flow monitoring systems generally provide comparable results considering the limits of

the technology used Comparison of flow rates reported by the flow monitoring systems occurred

only at average daily flow levels Verification of the flume rating tables was not performed as part

of the test and calibration process Due to backwater effects and flume submergence problems at

flume depths below 30 inches the Gould system was programmed to report zero at that

minimum depth

52 Recommendations

1) VampA recommends that the City continue to use Gould transducers as their primary flow

measuring devices
