The comprehensive master plan for the system was begun in 1974 by Wright-McLaughlin Engineers and subsequently adopted as the City's ' 201' Facilities Plan, with final approval in the Spring of 1977. This plan called for the construction of a new mechanical treatment plant at a new site east of the City. This site was selected in a Predesign Report prepared in 1978 by CH2M HILL, Inc. Subsequently, public opposition and an increase in the estimated cost of the new plant resulted in an Amendment to the '201' plan, prepared by ARIX Engineers , Inc. , which se- lected a Land Treatment System. This Amendment was approved in early 1981. The Land Treatment System was to be partially financed by a Federal Grant pursuant to PL92-500. The City of Greeley originally held 1st priority on the 1981 Colorado Water Quality Control Commission's priority list for receiving federal funds for con- struction of the new Land Treatment System. However, the Reagan Administration has reduced the availability of Construction Grants Funds which has lowered Greeley's priority' to number 28. Coupled with the reduction of grant funds and the announcement that there will possibly be no funding in Fiscal Year '82, it appears that construction of the new Land Treatment System will be delayed for a minimum of 3 years. Assuming that design and construction of the new system would take at least an additional 3 years , the treatment system would not be on-line until the late 1980's. In March, 1980, the City of Greeley received a "Cease and Desist" order due to numerous violations at the First Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant. In response to this order, the City of Greeley contracted with GRW Engineers , Inc. , to perform a Composite Correction Program (CCP) . The CCP is designed to evaluate the operational capability of the First Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant and provide operational assistance to enable the City to meet the existing NPDES permit. The CCP has been very successful and has alleviated the immediate danger of the Colorado Department of Health imposing a tap moratorium. However, economic and industrial growth, demonstrated by the recent announcement of plans for a new Hewlett-Packard plant and the possibility that a large wet industry will locate in Greeley, will require the City to develop an interim solution for handling the City's wastewater treatment needs until the new treatment system is on line. The purposes of this report are: . . .to evaluate Greeley's interim wastewater treatment needs ; . . .to make a cost-effectiveness analysis of improvement alternatives; and . . .to develop an implementation schedule for upgrade to meet these needs. The study has included the investigation and analysis of the following: .. .The treatment capabilities of both the First Avenue Treatment Plant. and the .Lone Tree Lagoons were investigated to determine their condition and useful life. . . .Previous studies and reports were utilized to develop the pro- jected treatment requirements of the City. .. .Several expansion alternatives to treat the projected wastewater demands were analyzed. CONCLUSIONS As a result of the investigation of the existing and projected wastewater flows and a review of the existing treatment capabilities , the following conclusions arc made: -2- . . .The existing First Avenue Treatment Plant is currently operating at maximum capacity. The capacity of the North- side activated sludge plant is 6 MGD and the Southside trickling filter plant is 2 MGD for a total capacity at First Avenue of 8 MGD. The average flow-to the First Avenue Treatment Plant for 1980 was 8. 1 MGD. . . .Reduction in the availability of Construction Grant Funds will result in a delay in implementation of the Facilities Plan. It is anticipated that Federal Funds for construction of the new Land Treatment System may not be available for several years. . . .The indefinite delay in implementing the Land Treatment System and the current status of the First Avenue Treatment Plant being at design capacity require that an interim treatment scheme be developed immediately. . . .Expansion of First Avenue's Southside treatment facilities is not advisable due to the condition and age of the existing equipment and structures. The Southside plant was originally constructed in 1936 and upgraded in 1955. With some modifica- tions. and continued improvement in operation and maintenance, • the Southside plant can continue to adequately treat 2 MOD of wastewater. However, the older equipment can he expected to require extensive maintenance. . . .The First Avenue's Northside plant can be readily expanded to treat 12 MGD of wastewater. The Northside could be expanded to 10 MGD now and further expanded to 12 NCO, if required at a later date. This plan would enable the City to meet the interim -3- r wastewater treatment requirements and allows the City ample time to assess the long-term effects of the Federal Budget cuts on the Land Treatment System. . . .Treatment of the wastewater for nitrification will not be required at the present. In April 1931 , the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission published new standards which ef- fectively changed the ammonia-nitrite effluent requirements so that no more than "good secondary treatment" is required at the First Avenue Treatment Plant. . . .The use of the Lone Tree Lagoons to treat industrial wastewater and the large distance between the Lone Tree and First Avenue plants precludes the use of Lone Tree treating the additional projected wastewater flows. -4- C RESOLUTION RE: ACTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONCERNING THE SITE APPLICATION OF THE CITY OF GREELEY FOR A WASTEWATER FACILITY WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and WHEREAS, the City of Greeley, Colorado, is presently in • the process of developing an expansion of the wastewater treat- ment system to meet the future needs of the community, and WHEREAS, the regulations of the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission require a hearing for a site application • approval before construction may be started and further, that • various local and state agencies be given the opportunity to review and comment on the Site Application, and WHEREAS, said Site Application has been submitted to the Board of County Commissipners of Weld County, Colorado, for • its review and comment, and WHEREAS, state law does not provide for a hearing before • the Board of County Commissioners on a land use matter such as this one, which is presented by a public entity, and WHEREAS, the Board feels it is in the best interests of Weld County to approve said Site Application.

As indicated in our letter, the City of Greeley proposes to upgrade its facility to a 12 million gallon per day plant which will serve a popula- tion equivalent of 120,000 people, instead of the originally proposed expansion to a 10 MGD facility. This decision was based on the fact that the additional -2 MGD could be incorporated into the plant expansion by simply modifying the plant's existing structures. I would like to add that guidelines for plant expansion indicate that a design for a new faci- lity or expansion to an existing facility should be started when actual plant loading reaches 80% of its designed capacity. It is proposed that when the plant expansion is completed in 1985 , wastewater flows from the City of Greeley would be approximately 80% of the designed capacity of a 10 MGD facility. The City will enjoy a significant cost savings by de- signing a 12 MGD plant at this point in time instead of adding the 2 MGD to this facility in two years. Enclosed please find a copy of the Site Application form as approved by your office and as submitted to the State for their review. To verify your understanding of the aforementioned change, and to satisfy the re- quirements of the State, we ask that you review the changes and if you "A COMMUNITY OF PROGRESS" Page Two approve, please sign or initial the items crossed through and changed on the first page of the form. We have enclosed the entire form as first approved by your office to show that no additional changes have been made. I will be more than happy to discuss this matter with you further should you desire. Thank you for your continued cooperation and assistance in this matter. Sincerely, jiLS— Peter A.
