REPORTED BY MARK CHARLEBOIS, CHIEF OPERATOR

Executive Summary

The Philip H. Jones pollution control plant (Main W.P.C.P.) performed very well

for 2013 as all annual effluent concentrations and loadings were well within

compliance limits.

Main STP Flow average daily flows increased 8.3% in 2013 and operated at 73 %

of plant rated flows. Combined STP flow averages (Main and Fox) increased

8.4% overall over last year.

There was one small raw bypass (3m3) in August due to heavy rainfall and

reported to SAC (Spills Action Center).

All monthly e-coli C of A objectives/geometric means were met in exception to

(January, February and March) which we believe was partially due to the discovery

of submerged un-sealed manhole covers that connect to the chlorine contact

detention tank, in relation to the construction project which has since be corrected.

The biosolids program ran smoothly with good reserve quantities of land

application sites/NASM plans to be utilized next spreading season.

Main Stp upgrades/expansion are still underway, the project began in late summer

2011 and was expected to reach completion in Aug 2013. There have been a few

delays with the project to date and completion dates are under review at this time.

Did you know since the last plant upgrade of 1993, plant performance

improvements over the past 19 yrs have been significant!!

Total recorded bypass hours in 1985 reported 1,869 hours as compared to only

1.25 hours for 2013.

Main Stp Phosphorus loadings to the bay in 1979 totalled 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs)

whereas in 2013, loadings were a mere 65 kg (143lbs), a 96 % decrease!! MOE

limits are 250 kg/yr since 1994.

BACKGROUND

Why build a sewage plant in Penetanguishene?

During the 1950’s, the local secondary school was closed and students were

bussed to the Midland high school. As the Midland school reached capacity in the

1960’s coupled with a high drop-out rate because of the inconvenience of the

bussing situation, council recognized there was a need for a new high school in

Town.

Also, during the 1960’s, there were proposals for the current Town industrial

park at Centennial Drive and two major subdivisions as well.

Prior to 1966, there was no wastewater treatment process in Penetanguishene as

raw sewage discharged directly into the Bay.

In the early 1960, the Ontario Water Resources Commission (now MOEE),

froze all development in Town until a wastewater treatment plant was built to

address the above concerns.

The Town hired former consultant, Dr. Phil Jones to design a wastewater

treatment plant and the class two, contact stabilization/extended aeration module

was originally installed in 1966, with a capacity of 1,500 m3/d.

Chlorine gas was used to disinfect the final effluent prior to discharge into

Penetanguishene Bay (Georgian Bay).

The plant doubled in size to two identical modules in 1974 as populations

increased. Aluminium sulphate (alum) was introduced in order to prevent further

phosphorus discharges into the Bay.

In 1986, a third module was installed but at the current Fox stp location to handle

the Town’s north end flows. Even a four-inch force main pipe was installed at

Main stp to push extraneous bad weather flows to fox stp as required to alleviate

pressure on the Main plant.

Back in the mid 1980’s, Severn Sound was deemed one of 17 ‘Areas of

iii

Concern’, by the Great Lakes Quality Board’. In 1987, Remedial Action Plans

(RAP) was put in place to address Severn Sound water quality concerns.

Although there were several contributing factors relating to degradation of the

water quality in the Sound, it soon became necessary to review historical

performance of all Severn Sound STP’s, which was undertaken by XCG

consultants in 1991. Their report estimated that Total phosphorus loadings to

Severn Sound were more than double the RAP objectives. The XCG report made

recommendations to make improvements/upgrades to the area facilities.

To curb further degradation and eurtrophication threats to Severn Sound, eight area

wastewater treatment plants were reviewed and optimized to lower phosphorus and

solids discharges to the Sound. Both of the Town’s sewage plant compliance

limits were lowered to achieve ultra low-level Total Phosphorus discharges of 0.15

mg/l during the last plant upgrades of 1993/94.

In 1993, Main STP was upgraded and expanded, a new class three modified

conventional facility was put into place. The old contact stabilization modules

were gutted and turned into digestion tanks. Capacity increased from 3,000 m3/d

to 4,545 m3/day. There was also some new technologies (various instrumentation

and scada systems) that replaced older out-dated equipment at Main STP as well.

A third-stage (tertiary) of treatment was also introduced, being the first plant in

Severn Sound to receive a tertiary stage of treatment.

Since the last 1993 expansion, effluent quality has remained excellent and has

played a major role in reductions of phosphorus, solids and BOD loadings to

Penetang Bay. Severn Sound’s designation as a ‘hot-spot/Area of Concern’ was

delisted in 2003!

Main stp services residential and all industrial and commercial flows, in exception

to super jail flows that are treated at Fox stp. Mental Health Center (MHC) flows

are treated at their own on-site plant. (See scada report Appendix-H-)

Main STP flows increased 8.3% over 2012 as well as combined STP flows (Main

and Fox) increased 8.4% overall. See 5 yr flow trends and charts Appendix –K-.

All required influent, final effluent and biosolids samples were submitted to

Caduceon labs in Ottawa (MOEE approved lab) as per C of A. Approximately

2,600 influent and effluent samples were conducted in-house as well as roughly

5,200 mixed liquor tests for both plants.

There was one small primary bypass event reported for 2013 (August) due to

heavy rainfall.

ECOLI:

All monthly and annual MOEE objectives limits of 200 organsims/100 ml sample

were met in exception to the first 3 months of the year. Chlorine chamber

manholes were covered with screening cloth (with plant expansion) that was

discovered to be letting in mud and debris to help prevent chamber contamination

of sediments and corrected by the plant upgrades general contractor.

____________ ________________________________

CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE ON MONITORING EQUIPMENT

Calibration of the final effluent flow meter (milltronics OMC3) was verified within

C of A compliance limits. (See Appendix –C- ‘Calibration Reports’).

The confined space gas detection meter was calibrated twice this year as well as

regular monthly bump-testing of the gas detector.

Weekly testing and calibration was performed on the alarmed Total Chlorine

analyser using an in-house DR2000. The Annual average cl2 residual was 0.54

mg/l. (as per Appendix –H- ‘Annual Scada Report’)

Primary bypass alarms were tested monthly using a target under the milltronics

sensor to simulate false wet well levels which record on scada. In conjunction with

this test we also test the proximity switch located in the bypass manhole to confirm

proper activation of the bypass swing gate monthly as well. Both alarms need to

activate before actual bypassing occurs and records on scada.

_____________________________________________________________

MAINTENANCE:

Annual service was performed to the diesel generator set by a certified diesel

mechanic, PowerStation generator service. We also performed the regular

monthly testing on the generator as well, approximately 1 hour/month under load.

Diesel fuel tanks are typically maintained at near-full capacity as per contingency

plans.

An eccentric valve was replaced in the RAS chamber.

Regular maintenance was performed on existing equipment in conjunction with

our electronic m-boss preventative maintenance program schedules.

BIOSOLIDS STORAGE LAGOON:

Lagoon capacity is about 6,800 m3. Digester total solids averaged about 2.3 %

total solids. Lagoon sampling/testing and mixing as well as haulage and land

application is currently handled by a subcontractor, Region of Huronia

Environmental Services, at their site in Lowell (lagoon rental cell #8).

_____________________________________________________________

BIOSOLIDS DISPOSAL (SLUDGE TO LAND APPLICATION):

Volume hauled (from Main STP) 6,238.40m3

Volume hauled (from Fox STP) 2,382.80 m3

Volume hauled to lagoon (from Main) 4,695.60 m3

Volume hauled from lagoon 7,622 m3

Volume land applied 9,668.8 m3

We currently practice sludge to land techniques using a high-speed aerway

application system and high flotation equipment to minimize soil compaction.

Over the past few years, our sludge hauler (Region of Huronia Environmental) has

implemented the use of a bladder and drag-hose system with a portable collapsible

bladder that acts as temporary field storage unit. The liquid is pumped through a

drag line that is towed by a high flotation tractor that minimizes soil compaction.

This system has been well received by our farming clients. The hauler conducts

field soil sampling and arranges for soil testing and regular lagoon sampling and

testing.

At year end we had six organic soil conditioning site C of A’s and eight NASM

plans.

C of A’s: NASM’s:

1) S2533-157 4) S2531-85 1) 20678 4) 21391 7) 1539

2) S2528-228 5) S2531-132 2) 20781 5) 20710 8) 20409

3) S2533-154 6) S2533-88 3) 20281 6) 20100

-5-

All biosolids test results/parameters for the off-site lagoon and on-site digester

samples were well within provincial ‘GUIDELINES FOR THE UTILIZATION

OF BIOSOLIDS AND OTHER WASTES ON AGRICULTURAL LAND’.

Looking at trends for the past few years, we don’t anticipate any significant

increase in sludge production for next year. The 3 yr average for sludge hauled

from both plants was 8,900 m3. Actually, when the new ATAD digester system

and thickening systems come on line, we expect to double sludge concentrations,

which will result in reduced hauled volumes to fields. Also, when the new sludge

storage tanks are on line in 2014, we will no longer require lagoon storage at

ROHES, cell #8.

OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS:

Nothing major to report.

EVALUATION/ MODIFICATIONS FOR PLANT PERFORMANCE

IMPROVEMENTS:

The main stp construction upgrades were supposed to be completed in August

2013, but due to project delays, completion dates are under review for 2014.

There was an MOE inspection this year with recommendations and changes to

contingency plans/reporting that was made as well under the new plant C of A.

The existing plant and equipment continues to run as none of the plant upgrades

are complete yet and nothing in regards to equipment has been de-commissioned to

date as well.

The wireless candlelight communications systems that link all the town’s facilities

and pumpstations continue to be problematic and somewhat un-reliable. The Town

is looking at options in 2014.
