TMDL Construction Cost Savings
SJRWMD Grant of $1,000,000
Other funding with State Revolving Fund Loan with much lower interest rates
Received excellent construction prices due to bidding while the market was right
Major
equipment procurement process resulted in excellent pricing for equipment (Approx. $600K savings)
13
TMDL Operational Cost Savings
Consolidating treatment plants results in more efficient operations and cost savings
New equipment is much more efficient, resulting in electrical savings
New sludge treatment process
will result in major savings in tipping fees if implemented by COJ
14
Operations Budget Reductions from TMDL Project
15
Cost Savings for Sludge Disposal
Sludge Treatment project will reduce trips to landfill & tipping fees (if required by COJ)
New nitrogen removal process will double sludge production, but new dewatering method will
lower amount hauled back to present level.
Agreement already approved by Commission & DEP to haul sludge to Chesser Island Landfill if tipping fees required.
16
Sludge – Estimated Landfill costs If Tipping Fees Are Required
Note: Sludge disposal costs would be approximately double without the sludge treatment improvements currently being constructed. Annual cost savings ~ $130K.
17
