Consent Item <br />�Im <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: November 15, 2022 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Michael Loveday, Wastewater Superintendent <br />Subject: Central Wastewater Treatment Facility FDEP Permit Renewal <br />Background/Analysis: <br />The existing Central Wastewater Treatment Facility (CWWTF) operates under Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (FDEP) permit number FLA010431, which expires March 29, 2024. Rule 62- <br />620.335 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) requires that all wastewater treatment facilities renew <br />the FDEP operating permit every five to ten years, depending on permit limitations. Applications for <br />permit renewal must be submitted to the appropriate FDEP office at least 180 days prior to the <br />expiration of the FDEP permit. Therefore, the renewal application for the Indian River County CWWTF is <br />due on, or before, September 29, 2023. The CWWTF annual average daily flow (AADF) influent flows <br />through October 2022 are approaching 2.2 million gallons per day (MGD). The facility is a 4.0 MGD <br />permitted capacity and thus, no increase in treatment plant capacity is proposed for this facility. The <br />CWWTF provides service to the North County service area as well as the East Central mainland area of <br />the County. Effluent from this facility is pumped to the county -wide slow -rate public access reuse <br />system that supplies reuse water to multiple customers in the north county mainland and barrier island <br />areas. <br />The County desires to utilize MBV and Associates, Inc., (MBV), via the Continuing Consultant <br />Engineering Services Agreement for Professional Services entered into on April 17, 2018 and extended <br />on May 7, 2021, to provide engineering services to prepare and submit the permit renewal application <br />and respond to requests for additional information (RAI) from FDEP. The intent is to submit the <br />application to Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) staff by July 31, 2023, for <br />review and approval. After approval by IRCDUS, the renewal application and supporting documentation <br />will be submitted by MBV to FDEP by the September 29, 2023, deadline. <br />Funding: <br />Funds in the amount of $36,750 for the CWWTF permit renewal are in the Utilities/WW Treat/Other <br />Professional Services account, number 47121836-033190, which are part of the Utilities operating <br />funds. Utilities operating funds are generated from water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Total Amount <br />Utilities/WW Treat/Other Professional Services <br />1 47121836-033190 <br />$ 36,750.00 <br />
