ANSONIA-DERBY INTERCONNECTOR

Preliminary Analysis

A.

Ansonia-Derby Interconnector As shown on the attached map, the following three alternative routes were analyzed for routing the interconnector. Each route connects the ef{luent from the Influent Pump Station of the Derby V/ater Pollution Control Facility (V/PCF) to the wet well of the Influent Pump Station at the Ansonia \I"PCF. 'Ihe proposed routes of the server interconnector are presented as follows:

#l: The route for Option #1 proceeds &orn the Derby W?CF Influent Punp northo crossing unclemeaih the existing railroad immediately north of the WPCF, continuing north along the east side of Caroline St., crossing under Main St., then continuing norlh along Caroline St. until turning northeast at Cottage St. From this point, the route continues through a vegetated area untii reaching Route B, rvhere it will cross under this road, then continue norlheast along the west side of Pershing Dr. until r'eaehing the Ansonia llv?CF, r,''here it will turn east, crossing under
Option Pershing Dr. and then under another railroad, and conlinuing to the ilfluent *'et

well for Aasonia WWTP. The route will take the sewer through
(LF).

several

commercial/industrial areas with paved parking areas. The sewer is to be iS-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) with an approximate length of 8,000 linear feet

Option #2: The rsute for Opticn #2 proeeeds from the Derby WPCF Influent Pump east, crossing under Route 8, then continuing east uritil turning north approximately 550 feet east of the WPCF. The route crosses under an existing railroad, contiluing ncrth through a vegetated area, crossing under Main St. east of the intersection with Route 8, then conlinues north, following an existing railroad, crossing underneath Division St., continuing to the Ansonia W"CF, This se:*er route will pass through several commereiallindustrial areas with par,ed parking lots, and may require rightof-way acaess ficm fhe or*'ner of the existing railroad. The se*'er is to be i5-ineh RCP with an approxirxate length of 8,000 LF. Option #3: The route for Option #3 proceeds east from the Derby WPCF Influent Pump, crossing under Route 8, continuing east approximateiy 800 feet until turning north. The route crosses under an existing milroad, proceeds north crossing under

Main St. west of the intersection with Derby Ave., then continues nonh follorving the Derby Greenway to Division St.. crosses under Division St." then proeeeds along N. Division St. until turning west into Ansonia WPCF. This route takes the sewer through predominately vegetated area until reaching the Divisicn St. crossing, then the route encounters an industrial area west of N. Division St" The sewer is to be 1 5-inch RCP installed at an approximate length of 8,500 LF. Parametric Constructicn Cosf Estirnates

#l: The preliminary cost estimate for Option #1. including materials, labor, and contingencies is $8,900,000.
Option Option #2: The prelimilary cost estimate for Option #2, including materials, labor, and contingencies is $7.300,000. Option #3: The preliminary cost estimale for Option #3, including materials, labor, and contingencies is $5,700,000-

Water Pollution Control Facilify (WPCF) Flow Data Analysis

The influent flor,r.s to l)erby and Ansonia WPCFs rvere provided for the time period January ?009 to February 201 1. The monthly average flows from the limited data were analyzed and are presented as fsllows:

*Data taken from Faoilities Pianning Study, 1997.

ln the analysis period, the 1VPCF exceeded its peak flow capacity 5 times, July ?009, February 2010, March 20i0, April 2010" and October ?010. reaching a high peak flou' of 10 MGD for the three months February to April 2010. The plant exceeded its design florr capacity 4 times. Februarv ?010, March 2010, April 2010, and F'ebruary 201 1.

In the analysis period, the WPCF exceeded its peak flow capacity 4 times, June 2009, July 2009, ]v{arch ?010, and April 2010. The plant exceeded its design {low capacity in
March 2010.

C.

lnfilfratian/Inflow (I/I)
A comparison was made belween the peak flows to Derby WPCF and historical rainfall data for the same period to see if a correlation could be established between high peak

flows and above normal rainfal] eyents. This correlation rvould be useful in
determining if infiltrationjinflow into Dertry's u'aste*,ater sewers is eontributing to high peak flows to the plant. For lhe months analyzed where the plant's peak florv capacities r.vere exceeded, rainfall records shorv that for June and July 2009, aad March 2010, the rainfail totals exceeded the arca averages by over 509/o. The high minfull amounts might indicate that high I/I rates were a contribuling factor in the plant's peak capacify being overtaxed. Table 1 provides the average WPCF plant inflow data and rainfall amounts for Derby.

An Ir'I sfudy produced for &e City of Derby inZAAT shorred that I/I volumes into the sanitary sewer system can be as high as 1.4 MGD. Reducing 60% of the I/l into the system s'ould resu! b average daily flows approaching 1.2 MGD and peak flows nearing 3.2 MGD. lt is our understandilg that the City of Derby is currently
conducting an I/I study of the sanitary sewer systern. Once the results of that study are published, the correlations between sanitary florvs and rainfall events can then be reevaluated and more accurats measurements of average and peak flows can be
obtained.

The same comparison rvas performed for the Ansonia WPCF and found that high rainfall arnounts and runoff during the months lhe plant exceeded its design and peak flow capaciry could have been a contributing factor. However, the incidents of exceeding the plant's capacities are fewer, srrggesting thal lll through the Ansonia
server system may be less prevalent. Table 2 provides the average plant

inflow data and

rainfall amounts for Ansonia. A program that actively targets I/l reduction would reduce the florvs from Derbrv to the Ansonia W.PCF to voiurnes that might allorv the Ansoaia WPCF to safely treat Derby's waste',rrater without requiring an upgrade in plant capacitr at Ansonia.
D.
Con clusions/Recom mendstions

The above flow data from the two WPCFs indicates that, if the flow from Derby is taken to Ansonia, the combined flow for 180 consecutive days will exceed 90% of the present ayerage design flow rate of Ansonia WPCF. This will trigger a requirement for
the Ansonia W?Cfr as stated below: Section 4(L) of Ansonia WFCF's NPDES Permit issued on lane27,2001states: When the arithmetie nzean of the sverage dailj, Jlow fram the POTW Jbr the previaus 180 days exeeeds 90% of the design jla** rate, tke permittee sleall det'elop and submit for lfze review of lhe Connnissianer rqitllin one ),eqr, a plan to qccommodatefuture incresses inflow to the planr. This plan shall include a

schedule for completing any recammended imptovewents and a plan fn anc ing the imprav e m e nts.

for

Without an active program to reduce the III conkibuting to the Derby sanitary sewer systefir, the combined present :lverage daily flows from Derby and Ansonia could exceed rhe current average daily heatment capacig of 3.5 MGD for the Ansonia WPCF. This *'ould result in the City of Ansonia exceeding its NPDES Permit 1i-eirs and require plans fur future upgrades of the WPCF to be submitted.

lf

an active progrcm to reduce the I{ though the Derby sewsr system is completed, the average flows can be reduced by as much as 607o, bringing the total flows through the WPCF.
