Comprehensive Plan Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element <br />Figure 3.A.2 WWTF Capacity vs. Demand <br />To ensure sufficient capacity through 2030, the county should take the following steps: <br />• Begin planning and preliminary design for expansion when a plant's Average Daily <br />Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 5 years; <br />• Prepare plans and specifications for expansion when a plant's Average Daily Demand <br />is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 4 years; <br />• Submit a complete construction permit application to the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (DEP) for expansion when a plant's Average Daily <br />Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 3 years; and <br />• Submit an application for an operation permit for the expanded facility to DEP when <br />a plant's Average Daily Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 6 <br />months. <br />Taking these steps within the referenced timeframes will ensure that the county has sufficient <br />time to design, permit, and construct needed plant capacity. At the same time, these timeframes <br />decrease the chances that plants will have many years of unused capacity. <br />A list of sanitary sewer capital improvements is provided in the Capital Improvements Element <br />(CIE) of the county's comprehensive plan and provided in Appendix "^" of this <br />Since the county's CIE must be updated annually, projects completed will be dropped from the <br />list of capital improvements and new projects will be added as needed. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 37 <br />Appendix A <br />WWTF Capacity vs. Demand <br />20.00 <br />19.00. 1 U.UU <br />18.00 <br />16.00 <br />16.00 <br />14.00 <br />14.00 14.00 <br />12.85 12.85 <br />12.00 12.6 <br />11.60 <br />—Overall WWfF Capacity <br />10.00 <br />60 <br />Demand with Conurency <br />ci <br />8.00 <br />8.85 <br />.87 — <br />—.— Demand W/O Concwency <br />R 8.00 <br />U <br />6.00 <br />5.72 <br />.37 <br />6.00 <br />4.91 G� 0 <br />4.00 <br />3.89 . <br />2.00 <br />0.00 <br />2000 <br />2005 <br />2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 <br />To ensure sufficient capacity through 2030, the county should take the following steps: <br />• Begin planning and preliminary design for expansion when a plant's Average Daily <br />Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 5 years; <br />• Prepare plans and specifications for expansion when a plant's Average Daily Demand <br />is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 4 years; <br />• Submit a complete construction permit application to the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (DEP) for expansion when a plant's Average Daily <br />Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 3 years; and <br />• Submit an application for an operation permit for the expanded facility to DEP when <br />a plant's Average Daily Demand is projected to equal or exceed its capacity within 6 <br />months. <br />Taking these steps within the referenced timeframes will ensure that the county has sufficient <br />time to design, permit, and construct needed plant capacity.
