Commissioner Voss asked for the County to be grant eligible, when does this report ~ave to be approved? Mr. Cranda11 answered before June 1, 1986. Mr. Crandall stated that the 201 Facilities Plan is being pre- sented today for the Board of County Commissioners and the public to review; this is a public hearing and authorization to proceed with the Plan was given by the Board at the December 3, 1985, mep.ting. He added that today's meeting is scheduled to fall within thr: time limits set forth by the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) to allow Collier County to become grant eligible for a sewer treatment plant and sewer system collection partial funding. Mr. Crandall said that a public hearing was held at the Regular Session of the Board on April 29, 1986, to discuss the 201 Plan and at that meeting comments were received from the Board and from the public, which comments were taken into account in the final document presentation. He indicated that the 201 Plan puts all master planning together, including giving attention to those areas not presently under County utilities which ie an important item to b.! detailed later in this meeting; these areas are not under County utilities management 4- 1...'..·..

He added that the 201 Facilities Plan is following the urban development of the Comprehensive Plan, which allows DER officials to review the entire urban development area es it relates to the provi- sion of sewer services and how théy compliment each other. The 201 Facilities Plan i~ laid out in a format that is acceptable to DER to become grant ~ligible. He said that at the conclusion of this pre- sentation he will ask the Board to do two things: 1) To adopt the Plan within the revisions that the Board would like to make; 2) Pass the resolution that has been presented which will be forwarded to DER to . . be included in their 1987 Grant Eligible list. He concluded by saying that present today are Tom Teylor and Craig Pager from the firm of Hole, Montes & Associates who will make the presentation, and John Dyers from PRC Consoer Townsend and Mr. Dick Richardson from the Department of Environmental Regulation.

He said that what they attempted to do, was to start from scratch on the 201 Plan rather than try to modify the previous Plan; so, this is a complete update of that original ¡'..

The first 201 Planning docu~ent that was pre- pared, he said, '~as a joint effort between the City of Naples and the County one of the major snags that occurred that led to Collier County dropping out of the 201 Planning process was that an inter local agreement was never reached between the City and the County. He indi- cated that apparently that was never really addressed or followed through, subsequently the City proceeded to develop their own plan under a different Grants program that was developed hy the State for small cities, and that document was approved by DER ~nd the City currently receives Grant funds for the construction of a wastewater facility for their work. He added that in the early stages of this project, this was addressed and DER recommended that the City of Naples be excluded. He added that this leaves the County standing on its own and there is no need for an inter local agreement between the City and the County. Mr. Taylor continued to say that they have addressed all of the areas outside of the City service areas and developed a Plan for a wastewater service planning tool for the County to use over the next Page 4 - , ~.. h '. , \'J,." . f , . s,;, .J": ,t" t - . ,';;"4~f' '.

He said that lo remain in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan the developed service area boundaries extend only one mile east of SR-951. He said the area was broken into four regionalized service areas the No~th Service Area, the Central Service Area, the South Service Area and the Marco Service Area, and they were required to address all of thc3e areas, which has been done in the report. He added that each D: those proposed service areas would ultimately have its own regional or sub-regional treatment facility; the proposed plan is to have the one single treatment facility, the existing facility in North Naples off of Immokalee Road and that facility will eventually be expanded from its current capacity of 2t million gallons a day to 61 million gallons a day within the next 20 years. He indicated that the Central Servic'3 Area would have a treatment facility somewhere adjacent to Pine Ridge Road and east of Airport Road; no specific site has been delineated but it will take some site specific otudy and work by the County staff in finding an acceptable site. He added that a site has been ballparked for use in developing the collection and transmission facilities and the effluent disposal facility from that. He said that the South Service Area has been presented to the Board / not too long ago as a result of the sewer master planning for the South and East Naples areas and they have mirrored that date in the present report with a centralized treatment facility some~here in the neighborhood of Rattlesnake Hammock Road, and the County ~taff is still working on trying to acquire a site for that treatment f~éility.

Mr. Taylor said that the Marco Service Area would use the existing treatment facilir.y that is now owned by Deltona Corporation, or Marco Utilities, althou~h the site is not going to be adequate for the ulti- ;',;ò mate needs , " jo'¥,JOo,.

';; --"t '. of the treatment facilities with the water treatment faci- . on th~ same site. He added that based on this, they assume that a second site would have to be acquired for ~onstruction of the expansion of service to Marco Island. In essence, he said, the results are to develop throughout the area four regional or sub- regional treatment facilities; their study indicated that using a <.... , system of pumping stations and force mains is the most cost-effective and implementable plan for construction of transmission mains to get the wastewater to the treatment plant site. The most cost-effective process was the oxidation ditch process which is used currently in the North Naples treatment facility and which was also presented to the Board in the South Naples Service area. Mr. Taylor said that the treatment process throughout would be consistent with what the current County facilities have, which has been accepted in the South Area and would be a benefit to the opera- tions personnel because they would be very familiar with the operation of all four of the facilities. He said that various effluent disposal methods were looked at and based on their evaluation of economics, environmental considerations, reliability and implementation charac- teristics, and one of the biggest items that needs to be looked at is Page 6 " . ~. . - \ - \ _",",."~"",_"_,_,_.,,,,__^..,,,,,,,,,, .~....,,_ ....'_--.."_"'h_~".<~__~..._,_"___.>_.'_... ,~ 'J '. t· May 29, 1986 resource recovery; and, in this case the most effective and most implementable, environmentally sound alternative is the use of spray irrigation, which was also presented to the Board in the South County Sewer Master Plan effort. He added that the County is in the process of implementing a spray irrigation project in North Naples and believe. that thi;s is the thing for Collier County to do, and they recommend proceEaing with that along the same lines with the 201 Planning project. Mr. Craig Pager stated that the 201 Facilities Plan is an update of a plan prepared by the firms of Smalley, Wellford and Nalvin, Inc. and Russell & Axon, Inc. as a joint venture in May 1978. He said that essentially what they have done is take the requirements of the faci- lities planning and update them ten years past the 1978 initial pro- jections that were in that facilities plan. The areas, he said, that are within the service areas are what are considered to be the urban areas in the Comprehensive Plan; they did not address any of the issues in the areas that are designated Coast Resource Management in the Plan. ."., . " Mr. Pager stated that a requirement of the 201 Facilities Plan is to look at existing pollution sources within the County. He said that / ,they took a look at the existing package plants, existing County " .", (,}i plants and also the use of septic tanks in the area and came up With:~:;:~;f::~:':1; .the plan for the phase elimination of septic tanks and pa~kage plants. In the North Service Area, he said, there are currently eight p~ckage , " &OOK 094 Fm 525 Page 7 \: ~ ,.,t,.., ::i~~ " p" , .. t, ~~,i~~~:o;n tho 201 F.cllltio.

He a1ded that in the planning process/they used EPA cost curves to make these comparisons EPA and DER like to see the use of some generalized cost data because it puts every different county and city on the same level when it comes to comparing alternatives. He pointed out that in the latter part of the report, the costs were Mr. Pager continued to say that for the collection of wastewater, they looked at the force main system which consists of pump station and force mains that are all tied together and transport wastewater to i I the treatment facility; this is the kind of system used at the North plant. There are different developments that are manifolded into a force main and all of the wastewater is transported to the treatment plant. Another alternative, he said, is a force main system, in which wastewater flows by gravity and is lifted up with lift stations, and a series of gravity sewers and lift stations are used to transport water to the treatment plant. Mr. Pager stated that a requirement of a facilities plan is to look at the do-nothing al~ernative or the no-action alternative; this Page 8 '." - \ . ., ~., # " . , '1' '.." ,;..,.

May 29, 1986 is essentially leaving things the way they are, not building any treatment facility or collection facility. He said that he felt it appropriate to address that in the collection alternatives because if wastewater is not collected, nothing has to be done after that. Mr. Pager pointed out that in the "decision m~trix" analysis, monetary costs were looked at, environmental impacts, reliability, implementability ~nd natural resource conservation. In deciding which option to go with, he continued, they do not always just look at the dollars it is go~ng to cost and do not always look at the environment as though you can spend any amount of money just to protect the environment; it is a combination of several factors and they have weighed each of those five factors to a certain percentage of the total decision; monetary cost being 30%, environmental impact 35%, reliability 10%, implementability 10% and natural resource conver- sion 15%. He said that based on the different aspects of each one of these factors, they assigned a rating system, giving a significant benefit impact rating of four down to a significant adverse impact rating of zero. He added, rating each of these items four to zero, I they came up with a total weighed score considering the five different aspects of the decision. He said that on the bottom the handout shows the total weighed score which is a weighing of all the different , . , .j. j .. " '1" 'þ'Yo'f;'.JJ.

Commission~r Hasse asked how sludge disposal was addressed, and , Mr. Pager answðred that sludge was considered in the treatment alter- +:·,é. " ~;;í:~:~": ~~t7ve that was do"e by PRC Engineering; their find outcome was to dewater sludge and to dispose of it in the sanitary landfill. I Commis~ioner Hasse asked if resource recovery ever happens, would it be burned? Mr. Pager answered that if sludge could be included in resource recovery system, and it could be designed for handling such, they would recommend that the County look at that as an alternative. He added that it was looked at in the 201 Plan but they could not rely on that as being a 100\ sure thing because the County has not insti- tuted :hat, has not constructed, and is not ready to accept sludge; but, they do know that if there was sludge today, they would be able to dewater and dispose of it in the landfill. Commissioner Hasse asked whether the land distribution method being used now, in Golden Gate Estates, was being changed? Mr. John Dyer of PRC Consoer Townsend stated that a number of potential alter- natives for sludge utilization were looked at, but at this point in time they felt the beneficial costing would be something they could count on. There are other things that can be done with sludge, he added, but they are not at the stage like they were in the South Sewer Master Plan point to actually start negotiating contracts with resource recovery and know what that cost would be or future agri- cultural utilization.

Commissioner Pistor asked if the best method will be acceptable as progress is achieved, and Mr. Dyer answered affirmatively. Commissioner Pistor stated that the County is conducting prelimi- nary discussions ~ith the City of Naples as to who is going to take care of wastewat~.' treatment of the sewage disposal from Davis Boulevard north to Golden Gate Parkway on Airport Road, and right now the City is doing a good part of it and they mayor may not take over Bear'. Paw and Coconut River Estates. He asked whether whatever is finally decided will fit into this Plan? Mr. Crandall answered that it will, that they are planning to provide service to Coconut River Estates and Bear's Paw is the only one in question at this point. County Manager Lusk asked what is meant by "total present worth" on Table 8-2, and Mr. Pager stated that in doing the econ~mic analy- sis, construction cost of the different alternatives and the operation and maintenance of the alternatives were looked at; the total present worth is the sum of constr 'ction cost plus the present value of opera- tion and maintenance over 20 years, and it also gives a credit to the salvage value of that improvement at the end of 20 years. .' . ~;" " .f:t Mr. Pager stated that DER will accept an economic analysis in two,,:;;.

He added that they chose to use the present worth method for doing the comparisons, and what it does is it places ~verlthing at today's dollar in comparing the alternatives and if ; , ther.e ~~ one alternative that has high operation and maintenance costs ~:'J.i;·;· th.:1; wou11 show up today in the econo"!ic analysis and it would have a r~""'" i:'~' g~eater pre~~nt wOlth factor. ,'to I r Mr. Lusk stät~d there was not a lot of difference, as far as the ~., If 1 ratings, between ~he oxidation ditch and conventional activated sludge. He then asked if the oxidation ditch was good, proven tech- nology used in many places? Mr. Dyer answered that they are not breaking new ground here, th~ oxidation ditch process is a well pro- ven, world-wide accepted process. Mr. Lusk asked if the activated sludge sewer type plant was cheaper to operate then the oxidation ditch, and Mr. Dyer answered "Yes," but the total present worth is more economical for an oxidation ditch type process, but this method is a form of activated sludge process. Mr. Dyer added that for Collier County and a lot of communities in this part of the country, the benefit of using an oxidation ditch process is package, digestion facilities do not have to be put in because digestion is being obtained within the oxidation ditch process because of extended aera- tion. He indicated that the expansion done in North Naples is an oxi- dation ditch process. Commissioner Hasse asked if the same system was being contemplated for all areas, and Mr. Dyer answered affirmatively, extended aeration- Page 12 - \ 1 , j"~ '., '..

Mr. Crandall commented that the oxida- tion ditch process has worked well and the operating costs are considerably less than anticipated at North Naples and Immokalee Water-Sewer District. Mr. Lusk asked if this type of operation is easy to expand, and Mr. Pager answerp.~ as easy as any other plant. He said that in the North Naples plant it would be very convenient to expand because it can be done in one or two MG modules and just keep on adding them into the treatment scheme and get the capacity needed. Commissioner Holland asked how the environmental impact numbers were arrived at? Mr. Pager stated that the numbers were judgemental based on their opinion on what the impacts would be. He added that after going through the different alternatives and coming up with the selected one for collection treatment disposal, they camo up with what the true construction cost would be, called in the report "Local Construction Cost." He said that because the facilities planning pro- cess entails a 20 year planning period, it is not financially feasible to build all the facilities needed immediately. Mr. Pager indicated that in an effort to ease the financial burden l for the County, they recommend the phasing program for the collection, treatment and effluent disposal facilities which are shown in the Facilities Plan. He indicated that in the first phase of· the improve- ments they addressed areas that are presently un-sewered ðnd that have package plants and are in need of sewer service. He briefly covered aoo( 094 FAct 531 Page 13 i,", -, \ " j.~ / ~"...."."",~~._~,~" "" ~ ,"'!. ., '. ' .:'t: '.. '"" " , I ~ ._1, " ;. ·r,',,",'··,':·~~:.·, " ,1·.:~1 ~~ )')" . ~..

'j' r Commissioner Pistor stated that in the PUD for the Vineyards and a taKeoffs from the lines that go to the golf courses that could be tapped for irrigating landscaped areas. Commissioner Hasse asked Mr. Pager to address the wet seasons with regards to disposal? Mr. Pager stated that the DER's requirement in utilizing spray irrigation is that 100\ backup facilities be provided for effluent disposal. In the Facilities Plan, he added, the selected backup was deep well injection; although they do not really like that as an alternative, that was the only one left for an alternate dispo- sal site. Commissioner Holland asked if the only alternative backup available is deep well injection, and Mr. Pager said that was correct. Mr. Pager explained that they looked at five different disposal methods; surface discharge, deep well injection, land application, percolation ponds and wetlands disposal. All, he said, are poten- tially feasible effluent disposal methods; the problem with surface discharge is that DER will not allow it, but if DER is willing to negotiate something that might end up being a potential disposal alternðtive.

May 29, 1986 Commissioner Holland asked if there has been any consideration given on the median strips of all the divided highways in and around Naples, and Mr. Pager indicated that they were not specifically addressed in the Plan, but the way the effluent lines have been laid out, there would be no problem in tapping those to irrigate the medians along tha route of the line. Commissioner Holland stated that in Orange County is using the majority of their effluent in that method and they used a considerable amount even in damp weather. Mr. Pager said that he is not familiar with what Orange County is doing. Commissioner Holland indicated that someone ought to look into this, because he has argued deep well injection for many years and there is not one proven well in this area; it has been tried, and with the kind of money that is going into this plan, he would like to see the Plan have an out somewhere. Commissioner Holland asked if DER had forbid- den the use of holding ponds for two or three days retontion? Mr. Pager answered that that is a viable alternative. He said that DER . ' ..... require storage for what is called a ten-year reoccurrence interval of non-application days and there potential for being able to store all that effluent for whatever period of time that is, and it could range anywhere from 7 to 9 days for the storage which means storing all the I flow that goes in that plant for the period of time. He indicated )"" that one problem with doing this is that once that rain period is ove~·:.:.!~;~'t~ . you dispose of 9 days worth of effluent plus daily generation, but the'~:1/ )','! .

He added that this is something that can be looked at once the County gets involved into the land application of its effluent. Commissioner Voss asked what the relative flow through the North Naples plant is in the dry versus the wet season? Utilities Director " ' Madajewski answered that the North Naples plant was experiencing flows of a little over :. MGD in February and March of this past season, and those flows drop Ðignificantly in May and June; last year it was averaging IT MGD for the entire year. Commissioner Voss stated that the flow through the plant in the wet season is far less than the dry season and therefore there is no worry about disposing of as much during the wet season as in the dry season. Commissioner Voss asked what percentage, roughly, of the winter flow is experienced in the summer time, and Mr. Madajewski stated about 70 to 80t. Commissioner Holland asked if in essence the Board is trying to approve a plan that work will be started on as far putting the final engineering together, today? Commissioner Pistor answered negatively, that the Board is going to approve the Plan as it is which is an overall look at the requirements for the County; as far as the indivi- dual plans, those will have to be developed by the engineers. He added that this just an overall plan that does not include the finite details. Commissioner Holland stated that that is way that he understood it, but he is still concerned about the effluent discharge. Commissioner Pistor indicated that effluent discharge is a problem and he agrees with Commissioner Holland, he does not particularly like Page 16 - ~ , ,':': r ',t~:, '. ~t ," ..;... ~.,~~!t', ,~,.. ,!

Mr. D. G. Richardson from the Fort Myers Office of the Department of Environmental Regulation, stated that several things have to be looked at in a 201 Planning document; as has been discussed, different alternatives and the cost effective analysis of each of those alter- \', " . natives. Ordinarily, he said, deep well injection will be more cost effective than spray irrigation if you have to buy land; if you do not, then spray irrigation is probably the most cost effective; however, in this case a backup system is being discussed which is necessary in the event that the spray irrigation could not be utilized ~ because of excessive rainfall. He indicated that as far as the general philosophy of DER, they would not prefer deep well injection because a resource is being wasted, the water is lost, and because of the water shortage in this area they would like to see a reuse kind of program, such as percolativn ponds, slow-rate irrigation systems, etc. i He pointed out that h~ has not gone over the cost proposals but he , :.~..:,: believes the engineers have presented the most cost-effective ".. proposal. .' Commissioner Holland asked if he was familiar with thê system used in Orange County, and Mr. Richardson said he was not.

Commissioner Holland stated that he is still looking for alternatives to deep well injection and felt that this was the last thing that DER would endorse, either as a primary, or backup if there other solutions. He said that the County has enough land available to probably set up ponds that would hold whatever is necessary without having to go into any big " land purchase. Mr. Richardson mentioned that there is considerable effort being put into a study at the present time in Tallahassee re9~rding constraints against reuse; they recognize that reuse is the way to go, especially in Southwest Florida. The laws as they now exist, he added, do present several constraints to reuse, such retaining runoff, lining percolation ponds and golf courses, but it is being studied and hopefully legislation can be introduced in the future that will remove these constraints and encourage more reuse. Commissioner Holland stated that in his opinion the landfill areas are covered with plastic liners, and Mr. Richardson said it would have to be to accept sludge.

Mr. Richardson answered "No," the purpose of the liners is to prevent leaching into the soil and that is the only type of landfill that the sludge could be disposed in. Commissioner Holland asked if that would not create a wet bog, and Mr. ~ichardson said "No," because the engineer is talking about a dry slud;,~. Commissioner Hasse stated that he understands that there are areas that are approved by DER for sludge. Mr. Richardson indicated that that disposal is what is called agricultural land disposal of sludge, and that is what the City is doing. Commissioner Hasse asked if that was acceptable, even though there is a possibility of leaching off into the watertable? Commissioner Pistor indicated that it is accep- table on approved areas only. Mr. Richardson pointed out that only on approved areas and what is called grade one sludge only, which is sludge that meets certain chemical and bacteriological criteria. Mr. Taylor stated that there are numerous restrictions on that, such as poun- " dage per acre. Commissioner Hasse asked who monitors that, and Mr. Richardson answered "DER." , , Commissioner Holland stated that there has been talk about land purchase, and he noticed that wetlands disposal is last on the line and it is his understanding tha~ tpe State and Federal Government was encouraging this possibility. Mr. Richardson said that he has not seen the final version of the Wetlands Disposal Administrative Code, '..~ . .,' ;". aODK 094 PAr.[ 537 Page 19 i'" ,)\ \ " J t.;;;.. , " ,/ ~. }; .'. .;.'.;;.~ -.____... ...

Commissioner Holland asked if that treatment is not the same as the one used for spray effluent? Mr. Richardson answered "No," , '.,:;. that it would have to meet higher sta~dards. ", Commissioner P:stor stated that this is a matter that, as the I County gets furthfr into the actual planning and pfoceeding with the development of more wastewater service, this will have to be discussed thoroughly; but, the concept that is being presented this morning gives room to discuss that in the final analysis. Assistant County Manager Dorrill asked if the County will be bound in any way for future specific projects as a result of having iden- tified deep well injection as a proposed backup source? Mr. Taylor answered that at this point in time that would be the plan that the County would be wanting to go with, but it is not locked into doing that. Assistant County Manager Dorrill asked if the County is not required at the instance it would submit an application for construc- tion permit to propose exactly what is in the 201 Facilities Plan? Mr. Taylor answered that if in the event that another alternative is determined to be more feasible and DER standards relax over the next few years, the Plan can be amended, which can be resubmitted to DER and that portion of the Plan can be changed as being a different disposal method. Mr. Dorrill asked if, in order to resolve this question, the County's backup recommendation is a result of the matrix on Table B-3, Page 20 J . I" " , l'~' ~'; ,',~ ' 't' .... 'Ji('lol,,; .

Mr. Dorrill indicated that there is only 4/100 of a point difference between deep well injection and rapid rate percolation pond system, and asked if because of the limited number of points can he not propose as a backup deep well injection or perco~ation ponds? Mr. Taylor stated that that can be the case, the dif\erence would be what it is going to cost to purchase the land. Mr. Dorrill asked lf that revision can be made without too much question, and resolve this problem of the Board having adopted a clear backup of deep well injection? Mr. Taylor answered that that revision can be made; of coúrse, percolation ponds would only be operational during periods of extended wetness. Commissioner Pistor stated if all goes with the resource recovery plant, the effluent from the Central District will be used for the cooling tower of that resource recovery plant. Commissioner Holland stated that as he understood it, a backup system is still needed, and Commissioner Pistor answered affirmatively. Commissioner Holland stated that he totally endorsed Mr. Dorrill's øtatement in regard to the small difference in the ratings, 175 to 179; and he would feel more comfortable with that proposal than to :.~:'~~ .^,~ have deep well injectjon as a backup system. indicated that the Plan shows Commissioner Pis tor .' .

Commissioner Pistor said that Commissioner Holland has a good point and the County does have other land to be considered providing DER or EPA approves the use for spreading of the effluent.

May 29, 19B6 called for and the ones to be eliminated are addressed as the phase improvements are constructed. Commissioner Voss stated that it was mentioned earlier that the Marco site was not 8ufficient to enlarge the treatment plant because of the water treatment plant. He asked if the water treatment plant is eliminated is there enough room? Mr. Crandall answered affirmatively. Commissioner Pistor stated that if the County is suc- cessful in buying the place maybe the water can be tied in with the system in Naples ðnd he will try to get an answer on that by next week, so a decision can be made on which way to go on the water treat- ment plant. Commissioner Hasse stated that there was no mention about the com- munity parks in the report and asked if they can be utilized in any way, and Mr. Crandall answered that they can but there are restrictions. Hr. Dorrill stated that it would be under landscape irrigation; whether it is an orange grove, golf course or a park, it would fall into that category and depending on the actual instance certain effluent qualities criteria have to be met. He added that there is no need to specify specific disposal sites. Commissioner Hasse stated that individual golf courses are specified and individual I parks are not specified and Mr. Dorrill said that golf courses are the primary means of spray irrigation disposal and that is the reason , for identifying either the ones that are intended to be served today or other golf courses that may be available for spray irrigation agreements , ' I.'

The 201 Plan, he said, is a very good Plan; it will not be absolute in all cases, there are options and the main thrust is that it 13 done in a cost-effective method. He said that DER requires the most cost-effective method for the treatment and disposal of 8ewag~ effluent if the County is going to become grant eligible, and this Plan does do that under today's standards. Commissioner Pistor asked Mr. Crandall if he has given some thought to some motion that this Board should make with respect to a possible or potential revision in the effluent distribution alternate system other than the deep well injection system? Mr. Taylor stated that what the Board is being asked to do is to accept the Plan as it is written with the proviso that the backup disposal be reviewed at a future date and see how that falls within the cost-effective range. Commissioner Holland asked if there is any indication of Collier County getting funding to implement this program? Mr. Taylor answered that Collier County should come up reasonably high on the State's priority list, particularly for the East and South Naples Service Areas in the Plan to construct collection and transmission facilities, treatment and effluent disposal system in that area. He indicated that it is in the review process now for assigning priority status and they have done the best they can working with the staff and other Page 24 - .: " ' : ,,~;?~ ¡:.t.. ,"r"';'~f!..~.. !. , ."
