Local governments within the Wekiva Study Area (WSA) are required to develop a wastewater facility plan for the specific portions of their joint planning areas and utility service areas where central wastewater systems are not readily available. The purpose of this effort is to prepare a Wastewater Facility Plan for the City of Ocoee that meets the Act's requirements for short-range (5 -year) and long -range ( -20 year) planning horizons. This Wastewater Facility Plan will use past planning efforts combined with current data and engineering analyses to produce a feasible schedule of infrastructure improvements that will meet the City's growth needs and meet regulatory requirements. The City of Ocoee has performed planning over the last several years that identified wastewater infrastructure to serve development growth in its western service area (Ocoee West). Previous plans including the Northwest Ocoee Sector Study (DRMP, May 2006) and the Western Force Main Cost Share (Reiss Engineering, 2007) have partially addressed wastewater facility planning. These planning efforts laid the groundwork for the City's wastewater infrastructure plan and were the basis for this Wastewater Facility Plan. 1.2 Purpose This 2010 Wastewater Facility Plan for the City of Ocoee serves to update the City's proposed infrastructure capital planning based on previous planning efforts, current development information, regulations, and input from City Engineering, Utilities and Development Services Departments' staffs. This 2010 Wastewater Facility Plan addresses the applicable Wekiva Act facility plan requirements as listed below: • A description of areas within the utility service area that are to be served by central sewer facilities within 5 years, • A financially feasible schedule of improvements, • An infrastructure work plan to build the facilities needed to implement the recommended improvements of this facility plan, including those needed to meet enhanced treatment standards adopted by the Department of Environmental Protection, and a phase -out of existing onsite septic tank systems where central facilities are available. The term "available" shall be interpreted consistent with the definition included in Section 381.0065(2)(a), Florida Statutes. • A long -range component addressing service of the Wekiva joint planning area or utility service area. • A water reuse program that allows for reuse of reclaimed water on a site -by -site basis. • Updates to wastewater facility plans where the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) program requires reductions in point source pollutants for a basin or as required. 1 -1 CO REISS EPIGU'IEERIt l • 1.3 Wekiva Act Requirements The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), utilizing an existing state -wide aquifer vulnerability model, has established protection zones within the Wekiva Study Area relative to a location's likelihood of having an impact on the Wekiva Springshed. A large portion of the Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility discharges, including effluent disposal and reuse water application systems, fall within the designated "Primary Protection Zone" (the zone with the highest probability of affecting the Wekiva Springshed), and must adhere to the following FDEP - proposed parameters: • No new Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIB 's) allowed • Discharge to existing RIB's: annual- average total nitrogen not to exceed 3 mg /L • Discharge to existing back -up RIB's: no more than 30% of the total annual wastewater treatment plant flow and must meet the Reuse irrigation systems limitation (below) • Reuse irrigation systems: annual - average total nitrogen not to exceed 10 mg /L • Class A & B residuals for land application are prohibited 1 -2 REISS ENGINEERING 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Service Area The current City of Ocoee wastewater service area is comprised of approximately 15 square miles primarily incorporated areas in and around the city limits as shown in Figure 2 -1. This wastewater service area is bordered to the north, cast and south by Orange County Utilities and to the west by the City of Winter Garden. The current wastewater system, as of mid 2009, includes service to approximately 7,000 connections. The City's collection system collects wastewater flows into lift stations that pump the flows thru transmission force mains to the City of Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility for reclamation. Portions of incorporated Ocoee utilize individual homeowner septic tanks for wastewater service. These areas utilizing on -site septic systems include low density developments in the west and northwest areas of the City, as well as the older central parts of the City. 2.2 Current and Historical Flows Current wastewater average annual daily flows (AADF) for the City of Ocoee range from 1.6 to 1.7 million gallons per day. Wastewater flows have been relatively steady over the last seven years for the City as shown in Table 2 -1. The City determined in its 2007 Capacity Analysis Report that historical data indicated a 1.08 maximum 3 -month average daily flow ( TMADF) peaking factor. Applying the 1.08 - maximum 3 -month peaking factor to the current AADF results in a TMADF of approximately 1.8 million gallons per day. Table 2 -1.

The lift stations pump the flow through transmission force mains to the Ocoee WWTF. Approximately one -half of the City's service area, the southwest portion, is directed to Lift Station 7. Lift Station 7 and the majority of the lift station sub areas in the east and north portions of the service area discharge directly to the Ocoee WWTF via the 20" force main in Clarke and A.D. Mims Roads. The City's hydraulic model indicates that the current infrastructure is well suited to convey existing wastewater flows to the Ocoee WWTF. The City has addressed needs including LS7 pump and force main upgrades. The S.R. 50 gravity system is at or near capacity and will be relocated when the re- design of S.R. 50 occurs. The existing wastewater collection system is shown with future improvements in Section 4. 2.4 Wastewater Treatment System The City's collected wastewater is pumped to the Ocoee Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) with a permitted capacity of 3.0 million gallons per day and a permitted effluent disposal capacity of 1.8 million gallons per day. The WWTF unit consists of mechanical screening, grit removal and the Bio - Denitro© treatment process. The Bio - Denitro® is an advanced biological nutrient removal process having dual oxidation ditches that is effective for reduction of nitrogen and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Secondary clarification, tertiary sand filtration and chlorination follow the Bio - Denitro process. After chlorine disinfection, the effluent gravity flows into either the Master Effluent Pump Station or the Effluent Transfer Pump station. The pump stations deliver the reclaimed water to one of the following locations for reuse or disposal: • Forest Lake Golf Course public access reuse - irrigation (0.45 million gallons per day permitted capacity) • Neighborhood public access reuse - irrigation in the City • On -site percolation ponds (0.35 million gallons per day permitted capacity) • RIBs at the Forest Lake Golf Course, wet weather disposal (1.0 million gallons per day permitted capacity) • Winter Garden Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBs) adjacent to the northwest City boundary If the effluent is unsuitable for public access reuse, then the rejected water is either automatically diverted by gravity overflow to the on -site percolation ponds via electronic chlorine and turbidity sensors and motorized valves, or pumped to the reject ground storage tank by the effluent transfer pumps. The total disposal capacity of the system is 1.80 million gallons per day. The larger non - biodegradable materials (grit, sand and other small materials) removed from the wastewater by mechanical bar screens are disposed of at a Class I landfill site. Activated sludge from the Bio- Denitro© process is aerobically digested, dewatered and hauled offsite for beneficial land application. 2-3 CD REISS ENGINEERING 2.4.1 Influent Flows and Loading Information Historical influent flows and loads were reviewed to compare current and permitted values. As shown in Table 2 -2, the current flow and loading values are within permitted capacities. The effluent disposal permitted capacity is currently the limiting value, however, the City is currently in the process of increasing the permitted effluent disposal capacity to 2.4 MGD. Table 2 -2. Flows and Loads For the Capacity Analysis Parameter Current Permitted Average Annual Daily Flow, MGD 1.6 3 0/1 8 Peak Hour Flow, MGD 3.4 7.5 BOD5 lb/day 2,689 5,630 Total Suspended Solids (TSS), lb/day 2,788 5,630 Treatment Facility Permit/Effluent Disposal Permit 2.4.2 Wastewater Treatment Performance The City of Ocoee's WWTF consistently produces high quality effluent meeting state standards. Regarding nutrient removal, the BioDenitro® process is an energy - efficient wastewater treatment process that consistently achieves high levels of nitrogen removal without internal recycle pumping or chemical dosing. Since its' introduction in the 1976 US EPA Nitrogen Control manual, more than 100 BioDenitro plants have been constructed worldwide. The 3.0 MGD facility was the first of many United States BioDenitro installations. With the exception of an occasional outlying data point, the Ocoee WWTF consistently produces nitrogen effluent values and annual averages less than 3 mg /L of total nitrogen as shown in Figure 2 -2. 2-4 CO REISS EHHIGtNEERUNG Effluent Nitrogen Data 35 __.__.__..__...__.._.....__...__...—_-- • J 30 • Effluent Data a7 2009 Average E 25- - C 6 20 0 15 - Z • • 3 10 o • H 5 • • • • • Mar -08 Jun -08 Aug -08 Nov-08 Feb -09 May -09 Aug -09 Nov -09 Feb -10, Date Figure 2 -2. Ocoee WWTF Effluent Nitrogen Results 2.5 Reclaimed Water System The City has proactively implemented a reclaimed water distribution system to provide alternative water for irrigation to a significant portion of its customers. This public access reuse of reclaimed water is a vital part of meeting future water supply needs with pending potable water consumptive use limitations. The City of Ocoee WWTF and a wholesale connection with CONSERV II supply the reclaimed water to the City's reclaimed water service area. There are currently two current and one planned reclaimed water distribution systems (service areas) that eventually may be interconnected to increase reclaimed water utilization and redundancy throughout the City: • The Central Service Area, bounded by S.R. 50 to the south and Clarcona -Ocoee Road to the north, supplies reclaimed water from the Ocoee WWTF to City public access reuse residential and commercial customers. The existing Central Service Area customers are primarily along the CIarke Road corridor. • The South Service Area, located along the Maguire Road corridor south of State Road 50, supplies reclaimed water from the Orange County Utilities CONSERV II project to City public access reuse residential and commercial customers. The South Service Area is supplied by CONSERV II through a wholesale- retail arrangement between the City and CONSERV II. The South Service Area's backbone is a transmission line that currently extends to the north east corner of the area, and the interconnection to the Central Service Area is under construction. • The Northwest Service .Area, located north of Clarcona -Ocoee Road, includes public access residential in- ground reclaimed water distribution systems that are currently jumpered to and supplied from Orange County Utilities potable water systems. The 2-5 Cao REISS EI'IGII• JEER'S G Northwest Service Area includes areas outside the City's current wastewater service area. The Northwest Service Area could be supplied in the future by the Ocoee WWTF and /or Orange County Utilities through an inter -local wholesale- retail arrangement. 2.6 Historical Reclaimed Water Usage The City has consistently utilized over 50% of its reclaimed water for public access since 2001 as shown in Table 2 -3. The reclaimed water distribution demand has steadily increased over the last several years through expansion via existing neighborhood distribution retrofits. Including supply to the local golf course, over 70% of the City's reclaimed water was beneficially reused in 2009. Table 2 -3 shows historical wastewater facility flows compared to effluent destination quantities. Based on evaluation of the historical reclaimed usage data, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. Since the reclaimed distribution system to neighborhoods and commercial businesses began operation in December 2001, this demand has steadily increased from 0 to 0.9 million gallons per day. 2. Given current reclaimed water supply and public access demand conditions, there is very little reclaimed water available for distribution system expansion without development of new small scale storage at the City's South Maguire Reclaimed Re -Pump Facility, large scale storage near the Ocoee WWTF, supplemental supply source, and /or new wholesale supply from a neighboring utility along with associated storage/pumping/transmission infrastructure. 3. Given the current maximized public access reuse demands, flow to the on -site percolation ponds and rapid infiltration basins has been minimized. Table 2 -3. Summary of Wastewater Flow.

However, there are large developable properties within the service area that are expected to develop in the planning horizon. As the planning horizon for this Plan is 5 to 10- years, the service area map indicating properties expected to be served in the 10 -year future is shown in Figure 3 -1. The 10 -year service area includes the existing served areas and planned developments within the service area boundary that are likely to develop and be extended central wastewater service over the next 10 years. 3.2 Flow Projections Wastewater flow to the City's WWTF was projected using historical data and long term linear growth trends as shown in Figure 3 -2. As shown in Figure 3 -2, annual average daily flows to the WWTF are expected to increase from 1.6 to 2.1 million gallon per day over the next ten years. The projected flow was used to estimate available reclaimed water supply and time WWTF capacity improvements. To size future wastewater collection and transmission infrastructure, however, buildout flows were utilized to ensure at least 50 -year service life. Buildout flows were estimated using the latest development and land use information for the future served properties of the City wastewater service area. Land use was identified from City maps and verified with City planners. Unit flow generation factors were developed on an equivalent residential units (ERU) basis and compared to existing, actual ERU unit flows. Future buildout flows were estimated based on the land use, developer information gathered and the recommended unit flow generation factors. Future buildout flows were then allocated into the wastewater hydraulic models using lift station areas. Lift station areas define the sub -area served by a lift station's gravity system. The resulting flow projections were a combination of development- specific information and land use estimations. City standard flow generation factors, per equivalent residential unit (ERU), were used for the development- specific areas where developers had applied or provided project information. The unit average annual flow (AAF) generation factor was based on 173 gallons per day (gpd) per ERU of actual wastewater flow and translates to 54 gpd per capita at 3.2 people per ERU. Future land use area estimations for other vacant land or potential redevelopment areas were based on the City's standard unit flow generation factors. The resulting projected City of Ocoee buildout served wastewater AADF is 4.0 million gallons per day (million gallons per day). A system peaking factor of 2.5 times the AADF was used to size future collection and transmission infrastructure. 3-1 AliD. REISS EhIGWlEERIPiG �+ � rT�c _ • , . . , ." .

City of Ocoee Wastewater Flow Projections 3.3 Wastewater Collection and Transmission System In conjunction with City Utilities staff, alternatives were developed to provide wastewater service to the undeveloped areas in western Ocoee and minimize future onsite wastewater disposal systems. Alternatives included locations of master lift stations, gravity collectors, force main routes, etc. The hydraulic model was updated with the proposed alternatives infrastructure scenarios. Hydraulic modeling was performed with the revised and updated models to size future required infrastructure for each alternative and compared to City hydraulic performance criteria. Workshops were held with City staff to garner input and select an alternative for incorporation into the Facilities Plan. Construction and capital cost estimates were prepared for each alternative. Based on existing force main capacities, it was apparent that an additional force main system was required to handle buildout wastewater flows. The City selected a western force main route to provide this capacity, maximize service to undeveloped areas and provide redundancy for existing facilities. The Ocoee West Force Main System was conceived, located on the Maguire Road, Lakewood Avenue and Wurst Road corridors, as the selected solution. As developed in the 2008 Ocoee West Wastewater Plan, the proposed Ocoee West Transmission System is shown in Section 4. The future flow routing scenario diverts the lift station areas on the west side of the City and the lift station areas south of the Florida's Turnpike northward to the proposed Ocoee West Force Main and Lakewood Master Lift Station. 3-3 CO REISS ENGINEERING IE' 3.4 Elimination of Active On -Site Sewage Sites The Wekiva Act requires the phase -out of existing septic tanks (onsite sewage sites) within the Wekiva Study Area, and the elimination of any new septic tank installations in the future, where centralized sewer service is available (currently or planned) within the City's service area. The responsibility for addressing septic tanks within the WEKIVA STUDY AREA where the City's service is not provided (now, or within the future planning period) falls upon the Florida Department of Health (FDOH). As part of the City's current wastewater plan, including the Ocoee West Transmission System, extension of service to the undeveloped areas will prevent a large number of future onsite sewage sites and eliminate approximately 85 of the 950 active on -site sewage sites in the future. To convert all the active onsite sewage sites would cost on the order of$30,000,000. The impact to Ocoee rate payers would be a 200% plus increase in rates, which is not feasible. Figure 3 -3 shows the estimated existing active on -site sewage sites that would be eliminated under the current City wastewater service expansion plan. 3.5 Wastewater Treatment System Based on the existing 1.8 million gallons per day TMADF and depending on the rate of development in the City, it is not expected that the 3.0 million gallons per day Ocoee WWTF would require expansion in the next 5 to 10 years. However, there is a buildout projected flow of 4 million gallons per day that could occur depending on economic conditions and the rate of development. The City plans on making improvements to the facility as part of the City's CIP program to increase reliability and repair or replace aging structures and equipment. Other than the planned improvements to the facility no further recommendations for additional WWTF activities are proposed as part of this plan. 3-4 CO REISS EMGINEERIIIG l o ru rI 4 i • ..1:7,_ ,, r ,, P , F1. - ��i, • R • F 4294 o /� I jt 4% �, A _ _ _ TOTE r// qJ / l i.G. •' // 1 • i I� j j 1 }` J I Vjr // /y •/ ' I it .'1 7 / / r A ' • 1 \ , : /A(.!/1 - .

As such, reclaimed water for public access reuse must meet the public access standards, including an annual average nitrogen concentration of no greater than 10 mg/L total nitrogen. Because of the City's reclaimed water program expansion, in recent years the City has discharged less than 30% of the total annual wastewater treatment plant flows to the RIBs as previously discussed. Therefore, the City needs only to meet the 10 mg/L total nitrogen levels for all wastewater discharges per FDEP regulations. The expansion of the City's reclaimed distribution system has significantly decreased flows to mass disposal areas, such as the Forest Lake Golf Course and RIBs, Winter Garden RIBS, and on -site percolation ponds. The City has also met and exceeded the limitations with an average nitrogen discharge of 3.0 mg /L total nitrogen. The City's current plans include expansion of reuse service to residential users in the Central and South service areas. The proposed 5 -year and 10 -year reclaimed water expansion plan is developed and discussed in the City of Ocoee 2010 Reclaimed Water Feasibility Update (Reiss Engineering, April 2010) and also summarized in the City's 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (SMW GeoSciences, May 2010). 4 -1 CO REISS EIJ GINEERIMG 5.0 INFRASTRUCTURE WORK PLAN 5.1 Wastewater Facility Plan Based on the City of Ocoee's current plan to cost efficiently serve its customer base and minimize the proliferation of future septic tanks, the five -year and long range (five to ten -year) Wastewater Facility Plan is presented in Figure 5 -1. The plan is a combination of capacity related projects to serve future growth and provide central sewer to areas that would otherwise build septic tank systems, as well as repair and rehabilitation projects to maintain reliable service. 5.2 Five -Year Plan Projects The specific five -year Wastewater Facility Plan projects were identified with capital cost estimates as shown in Table 5 -1. Capital costs were adjusted for three percent annual inflation. The specific five -year projects presented in the plan are discussed below. 5.2.1 Ocoee West Transmission S;ysten: The Ocoee West Transmission System is a bold initiative undertaken by the City to prepare for the next phase of growth and provide redundancy for Lift Station 7 that pumps almost half of the City's wastewater flow. The Ocoee West transmission consists of roughly 21,000 force main and one master lift station that will serve the south and west portions of the City's service area. The force main extends on Maguire Road from just south of S.R. 50 to the Ocoee WWTF entrance on A.D. Mims Road via Maguire Road, Lakewood Avenue and Wurst Road rights -of- way. The project was divided into four phases to support proper development as follows: Phase I Wurst Road — 7,500 feet of 20 -inch force main on Wurst Road from Lakewood Avenue to the Ocoee WWTF entrance tying into the existing 24 -inch force main discharging to the facility headworks. Phase II Lakewood Avenue — Lakewood Master Lift Station (2,600 gallon per minute buildout capacity) and 7,600 feet of 20 -inch force main from Maguire Road and Franklin Street to Wurst Road and Lakewood Avenue on .Lakewood Avenue and miscellaneous streets. Phase III South Maguire to North Maguire Interconnection - includes the south -to -north crossing of S.R. 50 on Maguire Road with a new force main and miscellaneous connection south of S.R. 50 to facilitate flow re- routing. Phase IV North Maguire Upsizing— 6,000 feet of 16 -inch force main from on Maguire Road from Story Road to Franklin Street. Existing lift stations LS 8, LS 12 and LS26 would be required to be upgraded in Phase 3. 5-1 R.EISS ENGINEERING rl �_ L 1") f �3 ti ! � ° � t E � � II I i T. i r J I,9J �aLlffi9L K i 1 _ _ F 9 ro .� ie e:., - > `\ . i .._ - 1}G 1 l f1 E 7 . {1ti .' ? @i „ ( -1 I } t s L16114F13 I I ,L EI 1 11 t . t% . , t— _ r L !1 1' _ _ t ._! . • I I u nz ' ""1 l L �-<•.

The scheduled five -year improvements include Homeland Security Improvements, Biosolids Stabilization (Digester) Modification and normal annual repair and rehabilitation. The Digester Modifications are necessary to improve the City's biosolids 5-3 =R) REI35 ENGINEEMI -IG stabilization class and reduce and improve disposal costs and options. The City is exploring an offsite sludge incineration disposal method that would eliminate the Digester Modifications project if implemented. 5.2.3 Maguire Road Reclaimed Pumping Facility 1.0 Million Gallon Storage Addition The City's updated Reclaimed Water Feasibility 2010 Update recommended the top priority reclaimed water project as the Maguire Road Reclaimed Pumping Facility 1.0 Million Gallon Storage Addition. This storage tank will allow the City to better utilize its reclaimed water supply to provide more consistent pressure and flow to its reclaimed water customers. The 1.0 million gallon tank will be located on the existing Maguire Road Pump Facility site. 5.2.4 Reclaimed Water Improvements The City has aggressively implemented reclaimed water distribution systems in its service area and is planning to continue this expansion over the next five years. The City is planning roughly $500,000 per year, as financial conditions allow, over the next five years to implement increased reclaimed water storage, transmission and distribution capacities. 5.3 Long Range (5 to 10 -Year) Plan Projects The specific five to ten -year Wastewater Facility Plan projects were identified with capital cost estimates as shown in Table 5 -2. Capital costs were adjusted for three to four percent annual inflation. The specific long range projects presented in the plan are discussed below. 5.3.1 Wastewater Collection and Transmission The City Utilities Department maintains an asset management prioritization list to schedule lift station and other key infrastructure repair and replacement. The five to ten -year schedule includes rehabilitation of Lift Station 3 and Lift Station 10. 5.3.2 Treatment System Improvements The Chlorine Contact Chamber Addition and the Sand Filter Bed Addition are scheduled improvements to the Ocoee WWTF in the five to ten -year planning horizon. The projects are required to provide service and redundancy improvements to the disinfection and filtration systems. 5.3.3 Reclaimed Wafer Improvements Five to ten -year reclaimed water improvements were prioritized and scheduled in the Reclaimed Water Feasibility 2010 Update (Reiss Engineering, April 2010). The proposed improvements recommended the most cost effective potable water offsets for the City. The City is planning additional reclaimed water projects in the 5 -10 year horizon, depending on financial conditions, that would increase reclaimed water storage, transmission and distribution capacities. 5-4 Clik REISS ENGINEERING Table 5 -2.
