CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITENI:Options for compliance with 2021-]68 Laws of Florida (
S
B
64)
SUBNIITTED BY:Steve Swarm,City Engin
'l'ODAY’S DATE:January 12,2023
l\’IEETING DATE:January 23,2023
BACKGROUND:The Governor of the State of Florida signed into law Se
na
te
Bill64
which requires that municipal domestic wastewater utilities that dispose of treated ef?
uen
t
to
surface waters eliminate the surface water discharge by January 1 ,2032.This law has be
enincorporatedintoChapter403.064,F.S.and is attached for reference.
The Legislature’s concern is that given F’lorida’s continued growth,there will n
ot
beadequate
ground water resources available in the future to meet drinking water,agricultural an
d
industrial
demands.The thought is that eliminating surface water discharges will encourage thereuseof
treated effluent for practices such as irrigation and drinking water and help ensure th
e
sust
ain
abil
ity
of the aquifer.
The City of Atlantic Beach WWTF is perrnitted to discharge up to 3.5 million gallons pe
r
dayof‘
treated effluent to the St.Johns River frorn the wastewater treatrnent facility.The WV
VT
curren
tlyCurrentlydischargesapproximately1.5 million gallons per day of treated effluent to tSt.Johns
River and sends up to 400,000 gallons per day for irrigation at the Atlantic Beach Cou
ntry
Club.
Eliminating the surface water discharge to the St.Johns River will likely require a co
mb
ina
tio
n
of
solutions that result in the lowest cost and least risk to the City.Staff submitted a plan,seeattached,
as required by this law to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in l\/
larch
2022that
outlines options the City is evaluating to comply with the requirernent to eliminate the sur
fac
e
water
discharge of treated effluent to the St,Johns River by 2032.
compliance will likely require a range of options including:
-Expanding the irrigation reuse system —JE-A,NS I\/Iayport,etc.
»Construction of deep xvells for treated effluent injection below the Floridan Aq
uif
er
~Reduce wastewater flow to the WWTF through water conservation and se
w
er
system
rehabilitation
—Partnering with JEA to provide wastewater treatment &reuse services
—Construction of additional treatrnent facilities to allow for either the direct orin
di
re
ct
reuse
of treated effluent as a potable water source.Agenda Item #3.B.23 Jan 2023Page 55 of 133
Jacksonville Beach,Neptune Beach and JEA also discharge treated ef?uent to the St.Johns River
and are subject to the requirements of this law.Due to the potential extraordinary costs of
complying with this law,City staff is coordinating with Jacksonville Beach,Neptune Beach and
JEA to identify the most economical means of eliminating the City’s surface water discharge to
the St.Johns River.
RECOMMENDATION:None;rather,this report is submitted for information and discussion
purposes only.From here and unless directed otherwise,staff will continue to explore compliance
options and report back to the City Commission,accordingly.

SB 64 Compliance Plan
City of Atlantic Beach
Rev.|'\/larch 30,2022
Introduction
with the amendment of 403.054 Florida statutes by senate BIII 64,the city of Atlantic Beach isrequir
ed
to submit a plan to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)that describes howthe
City will eliminate ncin-beneficial surface water discharge of domestic wastewater by December 31,2031.
In accordance with the new statute,domestic wastewater includes both treated effluent and water.
The City of Atlantic Beach operates the Atlantic Beach WWTF to treat wastewater generated wit
hin
the
city limits as well as the Buccaneer Service District outside of the city limits.The V\/\NTF currently avera
ges
1.85 million gallons per day (rngd)of treated effluent discharged to the St.Johns River and a
n
av
era
ge
of
0.4 rngd of reuse that is utilized by the Atlantic Beach Country Club for both golf course and res
ide
nti
al
Irrigation.The VVVVTF operates under perrnlt FLOO38776 and is authorized to treat a l'TlEXifT|IJl'TI of3.5rngd
of wastewater and produce 0.5 mgd of reuse.
The city of Atlantic Beach is essentially built out with little available deveiopabie land.Gr
ow
th
inthe
service area is prolected to be primarily from redevelopment projects,such as converting a home
park to apartments.Based on BEER population projection data,the city anticipates that 2030the
current daily average treated effluent discharged to the St.Johns River will increase to 2.o7 ra12%
increase.Given the built out conditions of the city and expense associated with a large scale of
reuse pipelines throughout the developed neighborhoods,the currently permitted 0.5 mgd access
reuse systern is not expected to increase substantially.
SB 64 requires that the City's projected 2.07 rngd of treated effluent discharged to the St.J
o
h
n
s
River
cease by December 31,2031.To rneet this requirement,the City will be exploring several opti
ons:
o Deep well injection.Bulk transfer of untreated wastewater to JEA for treatment and reuse.Expansion of the public access reuse system
Agenda Item #3.B.23 Jan 2023Page 57 of 133
The following is brief discussion ofsurface water discharge reduction options not considered followed by
a discussion of the options the City currently is planning to pursue.These options may change overtime
as technology and costs are constantly changing.
SurfaceWater Discharge Reduction Ogtions Not Considered
Rapid InfiltrationBasins —RlBs were not considered due to the seasonal high ground water table within
the Atlantic Beach service area being close to the surface and the lack of available land base.
Direct/IndirectPotable Reuse —Due to the uncertainties regarding regulatory requirements as well as
significant capital and O&M costs,the City is not considering either direct or indirect potable reuse at this
time.Given the volume of wastewater generated,the economies of scale do not currently exist to make
this a cost effective option.However,as more experience is gained from other larger utilities and FDEP
establishes permitting requirements,the City will revisit this option.
Bene?cialSurfaceWater Discharge —No surface waters in the vicinity of Atlantic Beach have been
identified to date where a treated effluent discharge would provide direct measureable ecological or
public water supply benefits.
SurfaceWater Discharge Reduction Ogtions
Bulk Transferof Wastewater —The City is currently exploring the feasibility of transferring untreated
wastewater to JEA for treatment and subsequent reuse and/or disposal at the Arlington East Water
Recovery Facility.Depending on capital costs,this option may be a long—termfeasible option for the City.
There is an unused 20"HDPEforcemain on Wonderwood Drive that extends from Mayport Road across
the Intracoastal Waterway to the JEA collection system.Routing the City's wastewater to this forcemain
would be a relatively inexpensive capital project.The City has discussed the feasibility of this option with
JEA and JEA is currently evaluating it as well as determining a bulk rate and system development charges

the
deep well option in conjunction with the other two beaches communities.
Reuse system Expansion —Expanding the reuse system in Atlantic Beach to meet a minimum of90%of
the VVVVTF‘s average daily flow is not likely costveffective or even feasible given the narrow ofways
in much of the community.However,the city will be evaluating expansion of the reuse facili
ty
to
potentially utilize stcirrnwater management systems for additional storage and expansion in totargete

neighborhoods and public property.while this effort will not come near the minimum 90%ofaverage
daily flow,it will provide an alternative source af water for users resulting in a reduction in g

withdrawals.Under this scenario,the balance or the average daily flow would be disposed v

Agenda Item #3.B.23 Jan 2023Page 59 of 133
PreferredOptions forSurfaceWater Discharge Reductions
Expanding the reuse system to handle 90%of average daily flows is the most expensive option.In addition,
this option is not likely feasible in this part of Florida due to swings in seasonal demand and limited areas
available for reuse storage.Based on our experience with the limited reuse system the City currently
operates,winter irrigation demands can be very low for extended periods of time,especially during wet
weather.However,there are options depending on funding availability to marginally increase the
reliability and capacity of the existing system to offset flow to either JEA or deep well injection.
The deep well injection option is the second most expensive option.Deep well injection in this area is
likely feasible but is not yet a proven technology fortreated effluent disposal.Given the overall projected
capital and O&M costs,combined with the limited proven environmental benefit,this is not the preferred
long-term option for the City.it will likely become the preferred option if bulk treatment by JEA cannot
be implemented.
The preferred option,given costs,current technology,environmental liability and regulatory
requirements,is sending untreated effluent to JEA for subsequent treatment and reuse/disposal.
Additional untreated wastewater storage capacity will likely be required to reduce peak flows during
periods of wet weather along with new sections of forcemain and upgrading of several lift stations.
Additional capital costs will be imposed by JEA to account for the additional capacity required at the
Arlington East WRF.O&M costs will be substantially reduced by eliminating the need to treat the entire
effluent stream.Under this option,the City may opt to continue to utilize and expand the reuse system,
but only a portion ofthe WWTF will be required to produce reuse resulting in substantial operational cost
savings at the WWTF.
Summary &Conclusions
The City's preferred alternative for meeting the requirements of SB 64 at this time is to utilize JEA for
treatment and disposal/reuse of the wastewater generated in the City of Atlantic Beach Public Utilities
wetCity's WWTF is completely shut down.The City has initiated preliminary discussions with JEA.Concurrently,the City will be exploring the feasibility of running a portion of the WWTF to produce reusewaterforcontinuedirrigationintheAtlanticBeachCountryClubareaaswellasotherareasthatareeconomicallyfeasibletoserve.Maintaining the ability to utilize a wet weather discharge,as currently4 Agenda Item #3.B.23 Jan 2023Page 60 of 133
authorized,may be beneficial under this scenario.However,during periods of wet weather and/or low
irrigation demand,excess wastewater may be able to be delivered to JEA.
Given the proximity ofthe City of Atlantic Beach to the City of Neptune Beach and the City oflacksonville
Beach,discussions towards developing a more area—wide(east of the lntracoastal Waterway)approach
to compliance with SB 64 requirements will be continued.There may be some economies of scale given
the fact that all three communities discharge treated effluent to the St.Johns River through a common
forcemain.
The preferred alternative may change in the near future based on technological innovations and
clarification with respect to the regulatory environment.However,the City of Atlantic Beach will continue
to work towards eliminating the surface water discharge of treated effluent by the end of 2031.The City
will also continue to promote potable water conservation and reduce infiltration &inflow into the
collection system as much as possible to reduce the volume of wastewater generated and thus requiring
subsequent treatment and disposal or reuse.Agenda Item #3.B.23 Jan 2023Page 61 of 133

Please explain any employment experience,board/committee experience,and/or community

My committee and board experience began with my volunteer work at Neptune Beach Elementaiy on the
PTA Board as newspaper editor of the Manatee Times when my son attended school there in 2010-2011.
I was an advocate for several Marsh Oaks community issues,such as purchase of Bennett's Landing
property for Tideviews Park,and I was later nominated by my District 5 Commissioner,Mitch Harding,
in 2016 to the Beautification and Natural Resources Preservation Advisory Committee.That committee,
created by then Mayor Mitch Reeves,became the conduit between the community members and city staff
and officials to get residents’input on what should be done to improve our city trees,parks and trails.
It was within that Beautification and Natural Resources Preservation Advisoiy Committee that a need was
found for the City of Atlantic Beach to have a permanent citizen-led committee of eleven citizens to
address tree and park beauti?cation and tree canopy preservation,so the Environmental Stewardship
Committee (ESC)was created.I served as an inaugural member of the ESC,also serving as an officer,as
Committee Secretary.
I was also a member of the ESC during a major portion of the Tree Code Review,and spent many hours
reviewing,amending and helping to craft a stronger and more efficient tree ordinance.
I also admin several growing community-driven and Atlantic Beach—focusedsocial media pages I created
whose primary goal is to help bring together citizens who care about the issues that impact and shape our
beautiful little community.This would include informing our community of civic happenings,promoting
civic engagement of community members,helping promote local small businesses,and showcasing the
local arts community,as well as giving residents a voice and a platform in all matters that pertain to our
community.

When my husband and I moved to Atlantic Beach in 1995,I had my own business,Kindermusik that I
had started in Northern Virginia.I taught this private music group program for toddlers throughout the
beaches for 2 years.After getting my real estate license,I was a realtor with Watson.Several years later,I
worked at the Mayo Clinic as an insurance administrator until my retirement in 2015.
For this application,however,I believe my volunteer work with the Atlantic Beach Preservation group is
more relevant.As Chair of ABP,I have worked with Mayors,Commissioners,City Managers,City
Planners,the Public Works Dept and citizen boards and committees on a variety of issues.Not only have
I learned about the inner workings of our city government,I have learned the details of many of our codes
and regulations...
First,a little background about Atlantic Beach Preservation.In August 2016,after a group of more than
40 Atlantic Beach citizens met to discuss forming a community organization to provide information on
city issues,Atlantic Beach Preservation was formed and tasked with the mission “....to inform and
promote citizen participationin our city government to ensure the preservationof our community’s
quality oflife.”
Since its formation,AB Preservation has presentedprograms for the community including:
*Hurricanes &Our Beaches
*Mayport Redevelopment CRA
*Parking:Public Access vs Private Interest
*Aquatic Gardens &Storm Water Improvement
*All about Trees:Protecting Our Tree Canopy
*Review of Proposed Land Use Codes
*Mayport Road Safety
My six years as Chair of AB Preservation has enabled me to know not only how our city works,but toformrelationshipswiththecitystaffandcommissioners.I believe that ourjoint efforts have resulted inmanygoodresolutionsandcodechangesthathavebeenbene?cial to our community.Agenda Item #8.A.23 Jan 2023Page 128 of 133

Since moving here 27 years ago,Atlantic Beach has become my hometown.I have been very active in the
community to preserve the uniqueness and quality of life our city offers for years.As Chair of AB
Preservation,I have knowledge of how our city government works that can be helpful to the Charter
Review Committee.Because of my volunteer involvement,I can bring many ideas to the table from other
citizens as well.
In addition,I have reviewed the video meeting of the last CR Committee and found it helpful in knowing
what changes have been enacted to our Charter and the reasons behind those changes.That gives me a
perspective to changes that have already been discussed and possible areas that would need to be
tweaked.
I love my hometown,Atlantic Beach,and I would be honored to be appointedto the Chaiter Review
Committee.
