Lagoon City Sewage Treatment Plant 2016 Annual Performance Report

Page 1 March 28, 2017

1 Introduction

C.C. Tatham & Associates Ltd. was retained to prepare the annual performance report for the Lagoon City Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) on behalf of the Township of Ramara (Township).

The STP is located on Part Lot 14, Concession 5 in the Township of Ramara, County of Simcoe. The Township of Ramara assumed the STP in 1992.

The STP is an extended aeration facility with an average day rated capacity of 2,273 m3/day. The STP treats residential and commercial sewage generated in Lagoon City and the Village of Brechin (Brechin).

In 2016, the STP serviced the equivalent of 1,015 units in Lagoon City and 150 units in Brechin. The number of serviced customers in Lagoon City was estimated at 2,030 (based on a population density of 2 persons per unit), and the number of customers in Brechin was estimated at 390 (based on a population density of 2.6 persons per unit).

The information herein summarizes to the best of our knowledge the characteristics, operation and performance of the Lagoon City STP during 2016.



2 Approvals

The Lagoon City STP and sewage collection system (including Sewage Pumping Station No. 4) were initially approved in 1987. They currently operate under the ECA No. 8497-8D3TU7.

The Brechin sewage collection system (including Sewage Pumping Station No. 8) was initially approved in February 2005. It now operates under ECA No. 0419-8ULPKR.

Biosolids are land applied under Non-Agricultural Source Material (NASM) Plans by Wessuc Inc. (Wessuc). The Township provides Wessuc with the test results of monthly biosolids sampling to meet the requirements of O. Reg. 267/03 (as amended by O. Reg. 338/09).

3 Treatment Process Description

In Lagoon City, sewage is collected at Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) No. 4 from SPS No. 1, SPS No. 2, SPS No. 3, SPS No. 5, and municipal sewers. Sewage is pumped from SPS No. 4 through a forcemain discharging to the grit channels at the STP. Flows are measured by a magnetic flow meter located in SPS No. 4.

In Brechin, sewage is conveyed to SPS No. 8 via SPS No. 6, SPS No. 7, and municipal sewers. SPS No. 8 pumps sewage through a 200 mm diameter forcemain discharging to the grit channels at the STP. Flows are measured by a magnetic flow meter located in SPS No. 8.

Septage is accepted at the STP at the septage receiving facility. Septage is discharged from haulage trucks to a flow splitter box, conveyed to septage holding tanks, and pumped to the grit channels. The volume of septage pumped to the inlet works is controlled manually by the operators to a target of no more than 5% of the total flow to the STP. In order to balance the organic loading to the plant and minimize the potential for process upsets, the addition of septage to the grit channels is decreased as raw sewage flows from the pumping stations increase. An activated carbon odour control facility is used to clean odorous gases vented from the septage receiving facility.

The blended raw sewage and septage flow through the grit channels to settle out sand and silt, pass through a bar screen to remove larger solids such as rags and plastics, and enter a flow splitter box. Sewage is distributed to any of three aeration basins from the flow splitter box using removable slide gates. The aeration basins are equipped with mechanical mixers and aerators to provide aerobic biological oxidation of the raw sewage. Two screw pumps lift the mixed liquor from the aeration basins to the final clarifiers.

Phosphorus is chemically precipitated in the clarifiers by adding alum at the base of the screw pumps. Polymer is added at the entry to the final clarifiers to improve settling performance in the clarifiers. Effluent from the clarifiers spills over effluent finger weirs and flows into the disinfection building where it is disinfected with UV light. The UV system consists of 36 low pressure UV lamps installed in a concrete channel with a UV sensor and monitoring system.

The disinfected effluent is conveyed to the STP effluent outfall where it discharges into a wetland, and ultimately Lake Simcoe.

The Lagoon City STP was designed to provide maximum operational flexibility by providing a significant and variable storage volume in the aeration basins. This allows the operators to make adjustments for influent flow and quality variations, equipment downtime, and optimization of the process. The STP is usually operated as two separate process trains, namely Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2. Plant No. 2 is operated under normal flow conditions and consists of Aeration Basins No. 2 and No. 3, Screw Pump No. 2 and Clarifiers No. 2 and No. 3. Plant No. 1 is brought on line during times of



increased hydraulic loading and consists of Aeration Basin No. 1, Screw Pump No. 1 and Clarifier No. 1.

Each clarifier is equipped with a floating siphon sludge removal mechanism that traverses the length of the clarifier and removes settled activated sludge from the bottom of the tank by suction. Activated sludge from Clarifier No. 1 is returned by gravity as return activated sludge (RAS) to Aeration Basin No. 1, or is wasted as waste activated sludge (WAS) to the WAS holding tank from where it is pumped to the biosolids pumping station. Activated sludge from Clarifiers No. 2 and No. 3 flow by gravity as RAS to Aeration Basin No. 2 and/or No. 3, or are wasted as WAS to the biosolids pumping station.

Submersible transfer pumps in the biosolids pumping station pump the WAS to Stage 1 and 2 aerobic digesters. The digesters are equipped with coarse bubble non-clog diffusers and provide volatile solids reduction and pathogen destruction. The digesters operate in batch mode where aeration is shut down overnight to allow the biosolids to thicken. Supernatant from the digesters is decanted by gravity to the biosolids pumping station from where it is returned to the aeration basins.

Digested biosolids are pumped to the biosolids storage tank for onsite storage. Additional aeration and mixing with coarse bubble non-clog diffusers are provided. A blower room, located above the biosolids storage tank, houses two blowers for the biosolids storage tank, one blower for the biosolids digesters, and one standby blower.

Biosolids are thickened by decanting supernatant from the biosolids storage tank to the biosolids pumping station from where it is returned to the aeration basins. Biosolids are land applied off-site.



4 Plant Flows and Capacity

4.1 Raw Sewage and Effluent Flows

As required by the ECA, raw sewage flows from Lagoon City and Brechin to the STP and effluent flows from the STP to the wetland, are measured and recorded by magnetic flow meters. Plant flows are shown in Figure 1 and summarized in Table 2 overleaf.

Lagoon City generated sewage at an average daily flow (ADF) of 1,125 m³/day in 2016, about 1% less than in 2015. The average per capita sewage generation rate for the total equivalent population of 2,030 was 554 L/cap/day. The sewage flow were higher in March and April, due to inflow and infiltration (I/I) associated with snow melt and heavy rainfall events.

Brechin generated sewage at an ADF of 125 m3/day in 2016, about 1% less than in 2015. The average per capita sewage generation rate for the total equivalent population of 390 was 321 L/cap/day. The lower per capita sewage generation rate indicates a lower I/I contribution in the newer Brechin sewers than in the Lagoon City sewers.

In addition to the raw sewage received from Lagoon City and Brechin, the STP also received 235 m3 of septage from local haulers in 2016.

In total, the STP treated an overall ADF of 1,250 m3/day, and operated on average at 55% of its rated capacity of 2,273 m3/day. The overall per capita sewage generation rate was 517 L/cap/day.

The maximum daily flow occurred on April 1 and was 4,638 m3/day, slightly higher than the STP’s design peak flow capacity of 4,546 m3/day. The high flow can be attributed to a major snow melt and a period of freezing rain followed by a rain event that would have resulted in significant inflow and infiltration into the sewer system. The high flow did not appear to adversely impact the performance of the STP.

4.3 System Reserve Capacity

In accordance with MOE guidelines and utilizing the previous three years of historical flows, the hydraulic reserve capacity of the STP is calculated using the following formula:

Hydraulic Reserve Capacity = Design Flow - Committed Flow

The design flow is equal to the maximum permissible flow approved by the C of A of 2,273 m3/day, and the committed flow is equal to the total expected flow by the existing and proposed connections based on the previous 3-year ADFs for Lagoon City and Brechin.

The estimated reserve capacity of the STP is 768 m3/day, as summarized in Table 4 below.

5 Raw Sewage Characteristics

As required by the ECA, operating staff collected monthly eight-hour daytime composite samples of raw sewage from the grit channel where raw sewage from Lagoon City, Brechin and the septage receiving station are blended. Each sample was tested for TSS, BOD5, TP and TKN. The test results are summarized in Table 5.

Raw sewage characteristics are similar to those observed in 2015 and are consistent with historical trends. The raw sewage characteristics indicate more dilute sewage than typical domestic raw sewage, due to the I/I into the sewage collection system.

Bioxide is added to raw sewage in SPS No. 8 (Brechin) to prevent anaerobic conditions and the formation of hydrogen sulphide within the long forcemain from SPS No. 8 to the STP.

6 Treatment Performance

6.1 Effluent Objectives and Limits

The effluent objectives and limits stipulated in the ECA are summarized in Table 6 below.

Table 6: Effluent Objectives and Limits

Parameter Objective Limit

CBOD5 (mg/L) 8 10

TSS (mg/L) 12 15

TP (mg/L) 0.15 0.3

E. coli (CFU/100m L) 100 200

pH 6.5 to 9.0

Effluent CBOD5, TSS, and TP concentrations are non-compliant if the arithmetic mean of all samples taken within any month exceeds the effluent limits. The effluent E. coli concentration is non-compliant if the monthly geometric mean density exceeds the effluent limit. The effluent pH is non-compliant if any one sample is outside the acceptable range.

The ECA issued in 2013 replaced the BOD5 parameter with CBOD5, and revised the phosphorus objective and limit according to the Lake Simcoe Protection Act. Currently, the effluent objectives for phosphorus are an annual average concentration of 0.15 mg/L and total annual loading of 124 kg/year, while the effluent limits are a monthly average concentration of 0.3 mg/L and total annual loading of 249 kg/year.

A special condition of the ECA requires the Township to complete an effluent characterization within five years of the ECA’s issue, or before June 28, 2017. This effluent characterization has not been completed.

6.2 Effluent Monitoring

As required by the ECA, operating staff collected weekly 24-hour composite samples of final effluent from the plant outfall. Each sample was tested for CBOD5, TSS, TP, total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) nitrates (NO3-), and E.coli. The temperature and pH of the effluent sample taken at the time of sampling were used to calculate the un-ionized ammonia concentration. The field temperature and pH were taken from daily plant log sheets where the field temperature and pH were not recorded on the laboratory report. The effluent monitoring results are summarized in Table 7 overleaf.

6.3.1 CBOD5

The annual average raw sewage CBOD5 was reduced from 76 mg/L in the raw sewage to 3 mg/L in the final effluent, corresponding to an average removal rate of 96%. All monthly mean CBOD5 concentrations met the effluent objective and limit.



6.3.2 Suspended Solids

The annual average TSS concentration was reduced from 97 mg/L in the raw sewage to 4 mg/L in the final effluent, corresponding to an average removal rate of 96%. All monthly mean TSS concentrations met the effluent objective and limit.

6.3.3 Total Phosphorus

The annual average TP concentration was reduced from 1.8 mg/L in the raw sewage to 0.05 mg/L in the final effluent, corresponding to an average removal rate of 97%. All monthly mean TP concentrations met the effluent objective and limit.

The annual phosphorus loading in the final effluent was 25.8 kg in 2016, well below the objective of 124 kg/year.

6.3.4 E. coli

All monthly geometric mean E. coli concentrations met the effluent objective and limit.

6.3.5 pH

The pH was maintained between 6.8 and 7.3.



7 Plant Operation

7.1 Chemical Dosages

Alum is added at the base of each screw pump for phosphorus removal. In 2016, the alum dosage ranged from 45 mg/L to 142 mg/L with an average daily dosage of 80 mg/L. The average daily dosage was approximately 22% lower than in 2015, reflecting the operators’ continued efforts to improve sludge settling characteristics while operating the STP at higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations.

A polymer is added to the influent of each clarifier to assist with phosphorus removal and improve the settling characteristics of the activated sludge. The dosages ranged from 0.2 mg/L to 0.8 mg/L with an average daily dosage of 0.6 mg/L. The average daily polymer dosage was approximately the same as it was in 2015.

7.2 Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids

Eight-hour composite samples of mixed liquor were collected weekly throughout 2016 and tested for MLVSS and MLSS. The test results are presented on Figure 2 overleaf.

The average MLSS and MLVSS concentrations for 2016 were 3,431 mg/L and 1,781 mg/L, respectively. The STP was able to meet its effluent objectives and limits while operating within these MLSS concentrations. Washout of the MLSS occurred in April and May during periods of high flow due to inflow and infiltration. Operators were quick to adjust their wasting rate and restore the MLSS concentration to more suitable levels.

7.3 Sludge Handling

A total volume of 675 m3 of biosolids at an average solids concentration of 5.8% by weight was removed from the biosolids storage tank and hauled off-site for land application.

Monthly samples were taken from the biosolids storage tank and tested for the metals listed in the Ontario Guidelines for Sewage Biosolids Utilization on Agricultural Lands and for other parameters as required by O. Reg. 267/03 (amended by O. Reg. 338/09) under the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, including total reactive phosphorus, TP, TKN, NH3-N, NO2-, NO3- and TSS. The results are shown in Table 9. Metal concentrations were well below the Maximum Permissible Metal Concentrations established for land application of biosolids.

Due to oversights at the laboratory, potassium was not measured in June and reactive phosphorus was not measured in November. The parameters were indicated correctly on the Chain of Custody forms.

The reasons for the imposition of these terms and conditions are as follows:

1. Condition 1 is imposed to ensure that the Worksare built and operated in the manner in which they were described forreview and upon which approval was granted. This condition is also included to emphasize the precedence of Conditions inthe Approvaland the practice that the Approval is based on the most current document, if several conflicting documentsare submitted for review. The condition also advises the Owners their responsibility to notify any person they authorized tocarry out work pursuant to this Approvalthe existence of this Approval.

2. Condition 2 is included to ensure that the Ministryrecords are kept accurate and current with respect to the approvedworks and to ensure that subsequent owners of the Worksare made aware of the Approvaland continue to operate theWorksin compliance with it.

3. Condition 3 is included to indicate that by-passes of untreated sewage to the receiving watercourse is prohibited, save incertain limited circumstances where the failure to By-pass could result in greater injury to the public interest than the By-passitself where a By-passwill not violate the approved effluent requirements, or where the By-passcan be limited orotherwise mitigated by handling it in accordance with an approved contingency plan. The notification and documentationrequirements allow the Ministryto take action in an informed manner and will ensure the Owneris aware of the extent andfrequency of By-passevents.

4. Condition 4 is imposed to establish non-enforceable effluent quality objectives which the Owneris obligated to use bestefforts to strive towards on an ongoing basis. These objectives are to be used as a mechanism to trigger corrective actionproactively and voluntarily before environmental impairment occurs and before the compliance limits of Condition 5 areexceeded..

5. Condition 5 is imposed to:

(a) ensure that the effluent discharged from the Worksto Lake Simcoe meets the Ministry's effluent quality requirementsthus minimizing environmental impact on the receiver and to protect water quality, fish and other aquatic life in thereceiving water body; and(b) ensure compliance with the requirements of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (2009) and the Lake Simcoe PhosphorusReduction Strategy (2010).

6. Condition 6 is included to require that the Worksbe properly operated, maintained, funded, staffed and equipped suchthat the environment is protected and deterioration, loss, injury or damage to any person or property is prevented. As well,the inclusion of a comprehensive operations manual governing all significant areas of operation, maintenance and repair isprepared, implemented and kept up-to-date by the owner and made available to the Ministry.Such a manual is an integral


part of the operation of the Works.Its compilation and use should assist the Ownerin staff training, in proper plant operationand in identifying and planning for contingencies during possible abnormal conditions. The manual will also act as abenchmark for Ministrystaff when reviewing the Owner's operation of the work.

7. Condition 7 is included to enable the Ownerto evaluate and demonstrate the performance of the Works, on a continualbasis, so that the Works are properly operated and maintained at a level which is consistent with the design objectives andeffluent limits specified in the Approvaland that the Worksdoes not cause any impairment to the receiving watercourse.

8. Condition 8 is included to require the Ownerto conduct the initial effluent characterization in accordace with policy 4.2-DP of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (2009).

9. Condition 9 is included to provide a performance record for future references, to ensure that the Ministryis made awareof problems as they arise, and to provide a compliance record for all the terms and conditions outlined in this Approval,sothat the Ministrycan work with the Ownerin resolving any problems in a timely manner.

10. Condition 10 is included to ensure that the works covered by this Approvalwill conform to the significant threatpolicies and designated Great Lakes policies in the Source Protection Plan.

The reasons for the imposition of these terms and conditions are as follows:

1. Condition 1 is imposed to ensure that the Worksare built and operated in the manner in which they were described forreview and upon which approval was granted. This condition is also included to emphasize the precedence ofConditions in the Approvaland the practice that the Approval is based on the most current document, if severalconflicting documents are submitted for review. The condition also advises the Owners their responsibility to notify anyperson they authorized to carry out work pursuant to this Approval the existence of this Approval.

2. Condition 2 is included to ensure that the Worksare constructed in a timely manner so that standards applicable at thetime of Approval of the Worksare still applicable at the time of construction, to ensure the ongoing protection of theenvironment.

3. Condition 3 is included to ensure that the Ministryrecords are kept accurate and current with respect to the approvedworks and to ensure that subsequent owners of the Worksare made aware of the Approvaland continue to operate theWorksin compliance with it.

4. Condition 4 is included to require that the proposed works be properly operated, maintained, funded, staffed andequipped such that the environment is protected and deterioration, loss, injury or damage to any person or property isprevented. As well, inclusion ensures that a comprehensive operations manual governing all significant areas ofoperation, maintenance and repair is prepared, implemented and kept up-to-date by the Owner and made available to theMinistry.
