2. INTRODUCTION

The WRF is designed to meet Class A+ effluent requirements. Wastewater enters the WRF by way of a 24-inch gravity sewer
pipeline through a coarse bar screen to remove large solids prior to entering the influent lift station. The lift station then pumps
the influent flow to fine screens and a vortex grit basin to remove smaller solids and grit. Next, wastewater flows by gravity to
the equalization tank before being pumped to the SBRs where it undergoes treatment in sequential phases of fill, anoxic reaction,
aerobic reaction, settling, and idle. Secondary effluent decanted from the SBRs is sent to the surge basin. The surge basin serves
as storage for the secondary effluent and also provides surge capacity for the SBR system during decant.

3. BACKGROUND

After several years of operation, the plant was de-rated to 2.5 mgd by the local regulatory agency. The facility originally
operated as a Hybrid SBR treatment system that incorporated a mixed liquor recycle flow to the anoxic basins located upstream
of the SBRs. However, due to difficulties achieving treatment objectives, the facility has been converted to operate as a
traditional SBR system, removing the recycle flows, and utilizing the anoxic basin as an equalization basin.

4, CURRENT STATUS

The El Mirage WRF is currently operating near the total tertiary filtration capacity of 2.1 mgd MMADF. The filtration capacity
will be exceeded in the near future due to pending industrial development. The filter limitation is an existing problem and any
additional flows will require the additional filtration capacity through installation of new filters and diverting filter overflows to
the headworks. The current overflow design overloads the filters, increasing run times, causing premature filter break through
and decreasing effluent quality.

5. BUSINESS CASE

The CITY has evaluated the upgrades required to successfully treat the increased flows from the planned industrial development.
The planned industrial development in El Mirage will include a large data center that will initially consist of one data center
building. This building requires significant water flows for cooling operations. The cooling operations will generate an industrial
wastewater that has constituents approximately twice the constituent level of the potable water that will supply the facility.
Therefore, this water will require treatment prior to disposal or reuse. These two waste streams will be combined and conveyed
to the Water Reclamation Facility located at 10355 N. 121 Ave., El Mirage, AZ, 85335

6. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The objectives for the project include the following:

* Project design to integrate one (1) Tertiary disc treatment filter capable of meeting industry-standard hydraulic
loading. (3 — 6 gpm/sq ft for average day and PDF's.) The existing three (3) tertiary disc treatment filters are
functioning at 50% design limiting the amount of influent flow capacity to 2.0 mgd. After review, the filter
manufacturer “Aqua-Aerobic” representative IES Southwest, Inc. has verified the current operational and maintenance
practices meet the manufacturer O & M specifications. IES Southwest also recommends the current SER line be routed
to the headworks reducing the loading on the existing and proposed additional filter.

e — Site and Structural evaluation and modifications (Deck Support)

¢ One (1) filter control cabinet designed to operate the new filter in Local/Remote mode

* Each filter to include new like level indicators, pressure differential indicators, like flow metering including
influent, effluent controi valving and associated new air/electrical piping

¢ Each filter to include like process controls, alarms, real time process indicators integrated into the existing
Wonderware SCADA software
« Associated electrical improvements

¢ Filter effluent disinfection methods of application upgrade. The existing disinfection application point needs to be
relocated. Short circuiting along with slow reaction times are being experienced. Forty-five (45) minute to sixty (60)
minute reaction times are common, causing over and under feeding of disinfectant. The recommendation is to improve
the mixing by injecting the chlorine into a common pipe upstream of the clear well. This can be accomplished by
combining the four (4) filter discharge piping into a single header. The existing piping can be combined with some
straightforward modifications. This modification would ensure that all filter discharge would become completely mixed
with chlorine prior to entering the Clear Well, This would improve the disinfection capabilities of the facility, and better
utilize the existing contact basin and piping to ensure sufficient disinfection at the rated plant capacity.

¢ Installation of a Secondary Effluent Recycle (SER) line. This SER line would return to the influent pumping station
(Headworks) stopping recycle through the filters, reducing filter loading and overflow while reducing sediment build up
within the surge tank. Aqua-Aerobics Director of Product Management also recommends that the existing filter
overflow piping (SER) be reconfigured to send these solids back to the head of the plant where they can be removed in
the secondary process.

¢ Provide future influent/effluent pipe connections for EQ basin. The future EQ basin will allow for high flow
periods, improved process treatment and effluent water quality
