EXECUTIVE?SUMMARY
Introduction
The? Technical? Memorandum? 1WQ? Disinfection? Evaluation? (TM1-WQ)? was? completed? in
August? 2005? for? the? Metropolitan? Water? Reclamation? District? of? Greater? Chicago
(MW RDGC? or? District)? as? part? of? the? comprehensive? Infrastructure? and? Process? Needs
Feasibility? Study? (Master? Plan)? for? the? North? Side? Water? Reclamation? Plant? (NSWRP)
and?a?Water?Quality?(WQ)?Strategy?for?affected?Chicago?Area?Waterways.??The?TM1-WQ
reviewed?the?alternative?disinfection?technologies?available?for?use?at?the?District’s?North
Side,? Calumet? and? Stickney?Water? Reclamation? Plants? and? provided? an? initial? estimate
of? possible? construction? cost? for? the? facilities.? ? On? the? basis? of? that? report? the? District
requested?further?investigation?into?UV?disinfection.??The?findings?of?the?Preliminary?Cost
Opinion? for? Ultraviolet? (UV)? Disinfection? Facilities? Study? at? the? North? Side? Water
Reclamation?Plant?are?presented?in?this?Report.
Objectives
This?evaluation?is?based?upon?the?TM1-WQ,?the?comments?received?from?the?USEPA?as
part? of? the? Use? Attainability? Analysis? (UAA)? evaluations,? and? new? information? obtained
since? the? previous? work.? ? The? primary? objectives? of? the? evaluation? presented? in? this
report?are:
?
To?describe?the?conceptual?facilities?developed?as?part?of?this?study?including?their
basis?of?design?and?the?assumptions?used?for?their?development
?
To?develop?a?Level?3?Preliminary?Opinion?of?Probable?Construction?Cost?per?the
Association?for?the?Advancement?of?Cost?Engineering?recommended?practices?for
the?proposed?facilities?at?NSWRP
?
To?develop?annual?maintenance?and?operations?(M&O)?costs?for?the?facilities
?
To?use?the?costs?developed?for?NSWRP?UV?Disinfection?Facilities?to?project?the?costs
for?similar?facilities?at?the?Calumet?Water?Reclamation?Plant?(CWRP)
Proposed?Facilities
The?study?reviewed?the?proposed?facilities?for?the?UV?Disinfection?Alternative?included?in
TM-1W Q? including? the? four? primary? components:? ? site? work,? a? low? lift? pump? station,
tertiary?filters,?and? UV? disinfection.? ? Through? that? review,? it? was?determined? that? the? low
lift?pump?station?and?the?tertiary?filters?required?re-evaluation.
At? the? time? TM-1WQ? was? developed,? very? little? information? was? available? regarding? the
water? quality? of? the? plant? effluent? as? it? related? to? ultraviolet? light? transmissivity,? and? the
that? data? was? available? indicated? low? transmissivity? levels.? ? Because? of? the? conceptual
nature? of? TM-1WQ,? tertiary? filters? were? included? in? initial? proposed? facilities? in? order? to
improve? disinfection? effectiveness? by? removing? water? components? that? would? inhibit? the
disinfection?process,?although?costs?were?also?provided?without?tertiary?filters.??Since?that
time,? additional? water? quality? data? has? been? collected? by? the? District? and? review? of? that
data? indicates? that? UV? transmissivity? is? within? the? minimum? range? necessary? for? UV
disinfection? without? filtration.? ? Therefore,? tertiary? filters? are? not? included? in? the? proposed
facilities? presented? in? this? report.? ? However,? the? exclusion? of? tertiary? filters? from? this
report? should? not?suggest? that? tertiary?filters? would? not?be? required? in? the? future? to? meet
stricter? suspended? solids? or? phosphorous?limits,?or? that?tertiary?filters?would?not?improve
the? effectiveness? of? a? UV? disinfection? process.? ? As? concluded? in? the? NSWRP? Master
Plan,?space?would?be?reserved?on?the?site?for?future?tertiary?filter?facilities.

Because? tertiary?filters?would? not?be? required?to?be? added? as?part?of?the? implementation
of? UV? disinfection,? the? need? for? a? low? lift? pump? station? was? questioned.? ? Additional
pumping? would? be? required? only? if? the? head? losses? added? by? the? UV? Disinfection
Facilities? and? associated?flow? conduits?and?flow? splitting? structures?exceed? the?available
head?at?the?plant.??To?determine?the?additional?head?losses,?a?hydraulics?evaluation?was
performed
.
Hydraulics
The? hydraulic? model? developed? for? the? Master? Plan? was? modified? to? include? the
additional?effluent?conduits,?gate?structures,?and? UV? channels/reactors.?? The?model?was
used? to? determine? the? actual? head? losses? expected? following? implementation? of? the? UV
Disinfection? Facilities.? ? The?results?of? this?evaluation? showed? conclusively?that?projected
head? loss? through? the? plant? exceeded? the? available? head? at? the? plant? by? over? 1.5? feet
and,? therefore,? identified? the? need? for? a? Low? Lift? Pump? Station? (LLPS)? in? order? to? treat
peak?flows?at?the?100-year?flood?elevation?once?the?UV?disinfection?system?was?installed.
Disinfection?Technology
The? Trojan? UV4000™ Plus? system? was? used? to? develop? the? basis? of? design? for? the? UV
disinfection?system?at?the?NSWRP?due?to?the?lower?number?of?lamps?required?compared
to? other? systems? and? the? recommendations? of? a? team? of? disinfection? experts? that
evaluated?the?available?technologies?during?the?Master?Plan?effort.??During?this?study,?the
details? of? the? implementation? of? this? UV? technology? were? updated? by? consultation? with
the? manufacturer?and? incorporated? into? the? basis?of?design.? ? In?addition,?a?phone? survey
of? other? facilities? of? similar? size? and? source? water? quality? was? conducted.? ? This? survey
revealed?several?important?conclusions?including?the?following:
?
When?using?ferric?salt?addition?for?improved?settleability?of?solids?in?the?treatment
process? upstream? of? UV? disinfection? (similar? to? the? NSWRP? Master? Plan’s
recommendation?for?future?phosphorous?removal),?an?increase?in?the?fouling?rate
was?experienced.
?
The? level? of? maintenance? and? operations? efforts? was? highly? variable? and? site
specific,?even?with?plants?using?the?same?technology?and?source?water.
?
The? most? effective? method? of? power? control? for? the? UV? system? is? highly? site
specific? and? has?a? great? impact? on? the? disinfection? effectiveness? and? the? energy
effectiveness?of?the?system.
Due? to? the? size? of? the? proposed? NSWRP? UV? Disinfection? Facilities,? which? would? be
among? the? largest? continually-operating? UV? disinfection? systems? in? the? world,? CTE
recommends? the? District? undertake? an? extensive?design? program? which? includes? review
of? system? specific? independent? validation? studies,? collimated? beam? testing,? UV
transmittance? testing,? and? a? reasonably? sized? pilot? facility.? ? This? program? would
determine,?among?other?factors,?the?following?information?in-situ:
?
Appropriate?control?sequences?and?optimization?for?the?UV?disinfection
equipment,?including?appropriate?sensing?equipment?to?allow?advanced?power
management
?

Site?Constraints
As? part? of? the? study,? a? proposed? layout? of? the? disinfection? facilities? at? NSWRP? was
developed? including? the? Low? Lift? Pump? Station,? UV? Disinfection? Facilities,? related? gate
structures/effluent?conduits,?and?space?reserved?for?future?tertiary?filters?(
Figure?ES-
See

? and?Volume?2? of?this?report).?Due? to? existing? constraints?of?the? site,?several?significant
civil? improvements? would? be? required.? ? At? the? NSWRP,? the? proposed? facilities? would
extend?into?the?existing?CTA?railway?embankment?and?therefore,?temporary?sheeting?and
a? permanent? retaining? wall? would? be? required? to? support? the? railway? embankment.
These? works? would? need? to? be? coordinated? with? the? CTA? to? minimize? disruption.? ? In
addition,? due? to? existing? geotechnical? conditions? in? the? area? available? for? the? UV
Disinfection? Facilities,? deep? foundations? would? be? required? for? the? proposed? structures.
These? required? civil? improvements? add? significant? complexity? and? cost? to? the? proposed
project.
Preliminary?Cost?Opinion
The? preliminary? opinion? of? probable? construction? cost? (OPCC)? for? NSWRP? and? CWRP
UV? Disinfection? Facilities? is? shown? in
Table? ES-1
? below.? ? As? shown,? the? projected
construction? cost? for? the? NSWRP? UV? Disinfection? facilities? is? $108.8? million? and? the
projected?construction?cost?for?the?CWRP?UV?Disinfection?facilities?is?$109.4?million.
Due? to? the? essential? similarities? between? the? proposed? disinfection? facilities? for? the? two
sites,? the? OPCC? was? developed? for? NSW RP? and? then? adjusted? for? the? CWRP.? ? To
estimate? the? costs? for? the? UV? Disinfection? Facilities? at? CWRP,? CTE? deducted? the? costs
for? the? deep? foundations? required? at? NSWRP,? multiplied? the? remaining? capital? cost
estimate? by?the? ratio? of? 480? MGD? to? 450? MGD,? and? added? the? cost?for? demolishing? the
existing? chlorine? contact? chambers.? ? The? details?of? the? basis? of? design? for? the? proposed
facilities? and? the? methods? of? developing? the? OPCC? are? presented? in? the? body? of? this
report.

The? District? has? preliminarily? selected? the? medium-pressure? high-intensity? (MP-HI)? UV
disinfection? technology? for? disinfection? of? final? effluent? at? the? NSWRP.? ? This? section
presents?the?results?of?further?evaluation?of?the?MP-HI?UV?disinfection?technology?per?the
District’s? requirement.? ? In? the? following? discussion,? the? basis? of? design? of? the? MP-HI? UV
system? is? presented? and? a? preliminary? basis? of? design? of? the? UV? system? to? be? used? at
the? NSWRP? is? provided.? ? The? low-lift? pump? station’s? basis? of? design,? operation? and

UV?Disinfection?System
3.2.1? Background
The? Technical? Memorandum? on? the? UV? Disinfection? Technology,? included? in? Appendix
B,?incorporates?the?following:
?
Information? from? literature? including? technical? proceedings? from? the? Water
Environment? Federation? (WEF),? Water? Environment? Research? Foundation
(WERF),? proceedings? from? the? latest? Disinfection? conference? series? undertaken
by? WEF,? American? Water? Works? Association? (AWWA),? and? International? Water
Association? (IWA).? ? This? information? provided? the? latest? updates? in? the? UV
disinfection?technology.
?
Updated? recommendations? on? the? UV? system? from? four? manufacturers? –? Trojan
Technologies,? Aquionics,? Calgon? Carbon,? and? Severn? Trent? Services
(STS)/Quay.
?
Reference? information? on? experience? of? UV? disinfection? at?five? selected? facilities
–? Racine? WWTP? (Racine,? WI),? R.L.? Sutton? WRF? (Cobb? County,? GA),? Grand
Rapids? WWTP? (Grand? Rapids,? MI),? Jacksonville? WWTP? (Buckman,? FL),? and
Valley?Creek?WWTP?(Valley?Creek,?AL).??A?summary?of?the?information?collected
through? the? phone? survey? is? provided? in? Appendix? B,? and? important? inferences
from?the?phone?survey?are?as?follows.
1.? Fouling? due? to?iron? in?the? effluent?has?been? a? problem? at?the? Racine,?Sutton,
and? Grand? Rapids? facilities.? ? Fouling? results? in? lower? then? expected
disinfection? performance,? higher? operating? costs,? and? higher? M&O? efforts.
The? iron? in? the? effluent? at? all? three? plants? was? primarily? from? the? chemical
phosphorus? removal? using? Ferric? Chloride.? ? At? Grand? Rapids? WWTP,? the
chemical?addition?is?upstream?of?the?secondary?treatment?process;?staining?of
sleeves? was? found? only? when? the? chemical? addition? was? in? the? secondary
clarifiers.? ? At? the? Sutton? WRF,? fouling? of? lamps? due? to? iron? is? observed
although?chemical?addition?is?upstream?of?secondary?process?and?sand?filters
are? used? upstream? of? the? UV? disinfection? system.? ? At? the? Racine? WWTP,
fouling?may?be?due?to?ferric?chloride?addition?and/or?due?to?the?additional?iron
brought? by? the? ferric? sludge? from? another? water? treatment? plant,? although
operational? controls? are? used? to? prevent? both? sources? from? occurring
simultaneously.

2.? Calcium? fouling? due? to? hardness? in? the? source? water? is? not? a? significant
problem? because? of?the?automatic?mechanical/chemical?cleaning?system? that
dissolves? and? wipes? away? any? scales.? ? The? lack? of? calcium? hardness? was
observed? in? all? five? plants? including? the? Racine? and? Grand? Rapids? utilities
which? have? Lake? Michigan? source? water? and? is? attributed? to? the? automatic
cleaning?system?performance.
3.? The?frequency?of?cleaning?and?changing?of?the?cleaning?solution?is?specific?to

MP-HI?UV?disinfection?system?has?been?developed?for?disinfection?of?the?final?effluent?at
the?NSWRP.
3.2.2? Basis?of?Design
The? MP-HI? system? involves? sending? the? secondary? or? tertiary?effluent? through? channels
containing?banks?of?MP-HI?UV?lamps.??Refer?to?the?process?drawings?included?in?Volume
2? of? this?report.? ? The? Trojan?UV4000™ Plus?system? is? used?here? to?develop? the? basis?of
design? for? the? UV? disinfection? system.? ? The? system? consists? of? a? power? supply,? an
electrical? system,?a? reactor,? MP-HI? lamps,? a? mechanical?and? chemical? cleaning? system,
and?a?control?system.??The?MP-HI?UV?lamps?are?enclosed?in?individual?quartz?sleeves?for
protection?against?dirt?and?breakage.??Reactor?chambers?(open?channels)?hold?the?lamps
in?a? horizontal?configuration.? ? The?effluent?weirs?and? level?sensors?are? used? to? keep? the
lamps? submerged? under? the? effluent? water.? ? This? submergence? ensures? that? the? lamps
do?not?overheat,?thereby?preventing?lamp?life?reduction?or?burnout.
The?UV? system? is? assumed? to?operate?from? March?to?November? each?year.? ? During?the
winter? months,? the? equipment? would? sit? idle? as? the? flow? is? bypassed? around? the? LLPS
and? UV? Disinfection? Building.? ? However,? due? to? the? size? of? the? facility? including? five
reactors?and?over?1600?lamps,?maintenance?activities?would?be?conducted?every?working
day?from?March?to?November?and?periodically?during?the?winter?months.??It?is?reasonable
to? expect? that? the? area? would? continue? to? experience? normal? weather? patterns? for? the
Chicago?area? including? extreme? weather? during?all?four? seasons.?? In?order?to?protect?the
safety? of? the? M&O? staff,? ensure? operational? and? maintenance-related? productivity,? and
protect?the? UV?equipment?from? adverse?weather?common? to? the? Chicago? area? including
high? winds,? rain,? lightning,? snow,? and? extreme? temperatures,? the? UV? system? would? be

3.2.2.1?Influent?Characteristics
The? water? quality? characteristics? that? affect? UV? transmittance? include? iron,? hardness,
suspended?solids,?humic?materials?and?organic?dyes.??These?effluent?constituents?have?a
tendency? to? absorb? UV? light? and? thus? impact? the? disinfection? process.? ? The? UV
transmittance? generally? needs? to? be? above? 65%? for? effective? disinfection.? ? The? water
quality?testing?done?at?the?NSWRP?and?CW RP?as?part?of?the?UV?disinfection?technology
trials? conducted? by? the? District? during? 2006-2007? showed? an? average? transmittance
above? this? minimum? value.? ? Refer? to? Appendix? B? for? more? information? regarding? the
influent?characteristic?testing.??The?total?suspended?solids?limit?is?projected?to?be?15?mg/L
for?the?purposes?of?sizing?the?UV?system.
3.2.2.2?Reactor?Configuration?and?Hydraulics
An? open? channel? is? used? as? a? reactor.? ? Each? channel? has? one? reactor? with? two? banks
each.? ? Each? bank? includes? stainless? steel? UV? modules? with? the? MP-HI? lamps? mounted
on?them?and?arranged?in?a?linear?configuration?to?increase?intensity?along?the?linear?axis
by? avoiding? UV? emission? losses? due? to? self? absorption,? reflection? or? refraction? that? can
occur? if? a? UV? lamp? were? twisted? into? loops? or? spirals.? ? The? lamps? are? positioned
horizontally?and?parallel?to?the?flow.
The?optimum?hydraulic?scenario?for?this? system? involves? turbulent?flow? with? mixing? while
minimizing?head?loss.??Reactor?design,?including?inlet?and?outlet?flow?distribution?is?done
so?that?the?unit?operates?close? to? a? plug?flow.? ? Inlet?conditions?are? designed? to? distribute
the?flow?and?equalize?velocities.??Sufficient?length?is?provided?in?the?channel?upstream?of
the? reactor? to? allow? equalization? of? the? flow.? ? A? motorized? weir? gate? is? provided
downstream? of? each? reactor? to? control? the? water? level? at? a? constant? level? with? little
fluctuation?within?the?UV?disinfection?reactor.
3.2.2.3?Lamps?and?UV?Intensity?Control
The? MP-HI? lamps? produce? polychromatic? radiation,? which? is? concentrated? at? select
peaks? throughout? the? germicidal? wavelength? region.? ? The? IEPA? requires?a? minimum? UV
dose? of? 40? mW -s/c
2
m
? that? was? considered? during? the?design? of? the? UV? system.? ? It? may
be? possible? to? document? a? lower? required? dose? to? the? regulating? body? (IEPA)? during
design?development,?but?lacking?such?data,?this?study?does?not?deviate?from?the?required
minimum?dose.
Each? lamp? is? enclosed? in?a? quartz? sleeve?because? quartz? effectively?protects? the? lamps
while?minimizing?any?UV?transmission?losses.??Electronic?ballast?for?each?lamp?is?used?to
control? the? power? to? the? lamp.? ? If? the? UV? dose? is? to? be? reduced,? the? variable? output
electronic? ballast?regulates?the?power? to?the? lamp? from?100%?to? 30%.? ?Entire? banks? can
also?be?turned?off?if?there?is?no?flow.??This?allows?dose-pacing?based?on?the?secondary?or
tertiary?effluent?flow?and?quality,?which?helps?save?power?and?lamp?life?and?hence?reduce
costs.
3.2.2.4?Lamp?Fouling?and?Cleaning
The?MP-HI? lamps?operate? at?a? temperature? range? of? 600? to?900?degree? C.? These?warm
temperatures? promote? fouling? on? the? surface? of? the? quartz? sleeves? when? the? lamps? are
placed? directly? within? the? wastewater? stream.? ? Iron? is? the? most? abundant? metal? in? these
scales? along? with? other? mineral? salts? and? oil,? grease,? suspended? solids? deposits,? and
biofilms.??If?no?tertiary?treatment?is?provided,?physical?debris?may?contribute?to?fouling?as

Since? lamp? fouling? significantly? reduces? the? effectiveness? of? UV? disinfection? by? blocking
the? UV? rays,? calculation? of? the? UV? dose? incorporates? a? term? called? the? “fouling? factor”,
which? allows? the? designer? to? estimate? the? effects? of? fouling? on? performance? of? the
disinfection? process.? ? To? combat?fouling,?a? chemical? and? mechanical?cleaning? system? is
proposed?for?the?MP-HI?UV?disinfection?system.??The?latest?technology?uses?a?system?of
mechanical? wipers? and? sleeves? containing? cleaning? chemicals? surrounding? the? lamp.
The?cleaning? solution? contains? some? acidic? solution?that?prevents?fouling.? ? This? cleaning
system? can? be? programmed? to? clean? at? a? set? frequency? without? the? need? for? disrupting
the? disinfection? process.? ? The? cleaning? solution? needs? to? be? replaced? periodically
depending? on? the? type? of? solution? used? and? characteristics? of? the? effluent? water? quality.
Similar? facilities? using? Lake? Michigan? as? source? water? have? found? that? changing? the
cleaning?solution?on?a?monthly?basis?is?required?for?adequate?performance.
Due? to? the? mechanical? and? chemical? features? of? the? Trojan? automatic? cleaning? system,
the? IEPA? accepts? the? default? value? of? 100%? for? the? fouling? factor? in? th
d

survey? results? that? indicated? a? higher? potential?for? fouling? in? the? event? of? Lake? Michigan
source? water? with? ferric? salt? addition,? the? District? has? elected? to? incorporate? a? safety
factor?of?10%?by?using?a?fouling?factor?of?90%.
3.2.3? Process?Control
An? automated? process? control? must? be? provided? to? facilitate? online? pacing? of? the? UV
dose? to? prevent? overdosing? that? wastes? electricity? and? to? avoid?under-dosing? that? would
not?meet?the?disinfection?regulatory?requirements?and?goals.??The?process?control?should
also? allow? the? dose-pacing? to? be? interfaced? with? the? plant’s? overall? supervisory? control
and? data?acquisition?(SCADA)? system.? ? The?flow,?lamp? output,?and?water? conditions?are
measured? in? pacing? of? the? dose,? and? an? algorithm? is? developed? based? on? long-term
measurements? to? predict? necessary? system? adjustments,? maintenance,? and? component
replacements.
Programmable? logic? control? (PLC)? technology? must? be? used? for? dose?pacing? in? the? MP-
HI? UV? disinfection? system.? ? The? PLC? interacts? with? the? ballasts,? sensors,? and? online
monitoring?technology?for?each?disinfection?unit.??The?PLC?then?interacts?with?the?plant’s
overall? control? system? to? allow? remote? monitoring? and? adjustment? of? the? system.? ? The
PLC?should?be?supplied?by?the?manufacturer?of?the?unit.
3.2.4? Safety
The? high? voltage? power? supplies? for? the? MP-HI? UV? disinfection? system? may? pose? an
issue? as? the? lamps? are? submerged? in? the? water? most? of? the? time? and? compliance? with
electrical? safety? codes? is? required.? ? In? addition,? UV? light? poses? a? risk? to? personnel? and
can?cause?damage?to?skin?or?eyes?upon?exposure.??Submerging?a?lamp?in?water,?even?if
it? is? just?a?few? inches?below?the? surface,?greatly?reduces? the? intensity.? ? During? operation
the? system? should? be? covered? by? hatches? and? should? be? designed? to? ensure? constant
water?levels?to?minimize?the?risk?of?UV?exposure.

Several? pump? types? were? considered? for? this? high? flow? (78,125? gpm)? low? head? (7? feet
TDH)? application.? ? Pump? types? considered? included? screw? pumps,? vertical? turbine
pumps,? centrifugal? pumps,? and? axial? flow? pumps.? ? Many? pump? manufacturers? found? it
difficult? to? recommend? a? pump? that? would? operate? efficiently? for? this? application? due
primarily? to? the? low? head.? ? Screw?pumps? and? axial?flow? pumps?appear? to?have? the? best
operating?performance?for?this?condition.
Initially? the? Low? Lift? Pump? Station? would? lift? 450? MGD? a? total? of? 4? feet? with? a? Total
Dynamic? Head? (including? station? losses)? of? approximately? 7? feet.? ? However,? if? tertiary
filtration? is? constructed? in? the? future,? the? TDH? would? increase? to? approximately? 11? feet
(flow? would? remain? the? same).? ? Screw? pumps? would? not? easily? accommodate? this
change? in? head,? without? significant? structural? modifications? to? the? pump? station.
However,? axial? pumps? can? be? modified? for? future? head? conditions.? ? Structural
modifications?to?the?pump?station?to?accommodate?these?changes,?if?required,?should?be
minimal.? Therefore,? axial? flow,? propeller? type? pumps? are? recommended.? ? Vertically

NSWRP?CIVIL
Due?to?constraints?of?the?site?related?to?the?proposed?location?of?the?disinfection?facilities,
several? significant? civil? improvements? would? be? required.? ? Those? improvements? include
the?following:
1.? Temporary?sheeting?to?support?a?railroad?embankment
2.? Construction? of? a? permanent? concrete? retaining? wall? to? allow? locating? the
proposed?facilities?farther?to?the?north
3.? Construction? of? new? roadways? to? access? the? new? facilities? and? future? tertiary
filters
4.? Construction? of? three? gate?structures?and?effluent?conduits?connecting?the? LLPS,
UV?Disinfection?Building,?and?gate?structures
5.? Construction? of? associated? utilities? including? stormwater? collection,? city? water,
effluent?water,?plant?drain,?electrical?duct?bank,?and?steam/condensate?return.
In? addition,? available? soil? borings? from? previous? projects? indicate? areas? of? concern
related? to? the? structure? foundations.? ? A? discussion? of? the? findings? is? also? described
below.
4.1?
Basis?of?Design
Refer?to?the?civil?drawings?in?Volume?2?of?this?report?for?a?layout?of?the?proposed?facilities
on? the? site.? ? The? basis? of? design? of? each? of? the? civil? related? improvements? is? presented
below.
4.1.1? Temporary?Sheeting
In?order?to?support?the?existing?rail?embankment?during?construction?of?the?retaining?wall
and? connection? to? the? existing? effluent? conduit? upstream? of? Gate? Structure? #1,? sheeting
would? be? required? to? be? installed? along? the? embankment.? ? The? sheeting? would? be
approximately? 40-50?feet?deep? to?support?a? cut?into?the? embankment?with?a?depth? of? up
to? 15? feet.? ? It? is? assumed? sheeting? would? be? installed? by? vibratory? pile? drivers? on
weekends? to? minimize? disruption? to? the? CTA? operating? schedule.? ? Additional? shoring? is
assumed?to?be?required?to?prevent?movement?of?the?sheeting?and?potential?settlement?of
the?rail.??It?is?assumed?that?the?sheeting?would?be?abandoned?in?place.
4.1.2?? Retaining?Wall
In? order? to? fit? the? proposed? facilities? onto? the? site,? a? cut? would? be? required? into? the
embankment.? ? The? embankment? would? be? permanently? supported? by? a? 15? foot? high
concrete? retaining? wall.? ? Soil? anchors? are? likely? to? be? required? to? provide? additional
support.
4.1.3? Roadways?and?Other?Site?Improvements
Proposed? roadways? associated? with? the? UV? Disinfection? Facilities? are? intended? to
provide? access? to? the? structures? and? site? for? normal? operations? as? well? as? allow? access
to?heavy?construction?vehicles?and?delivery?vehicles.??The?roadway?would?be?constructed
in? accordance? with? District? guidelines.? ? It? would? be? designed? for? AASHTO? H-20? loading
with?an?assumed?reinforced?portland?cement?concrete?thickness?of?12?inches.??Curb?and

gutter? (standard? 12? inch? wide? gutter? with? 6? inch? curb)? would? be? provided? to? facilitate
maintenance?and?stormwater?collection.
The?existing?site?fence? along? the? rail?embankment? and? running? south?along? the?previous
railroad? right-of-way? would?be? demolished? to? facilitate? construction? activities.?? A? new?12’
high,? barbed? wire,? chain-link?fence? would?be? installed? along? McCormick? Boulevard? from
the?Pump?and?Blower?House?to?the?CTA?rail?abutment?to?enclose?the?new?facilities.
The? northern-most? radio? antenna? would? be? relocated? to? the? south? to? accommodate? the
new?facilities? and? construction? activities.? ? It? is? assume? that? the? cost?for? relocation? would
be?borne?by?others.
4.1.4? Gate?Structures/Effluent?Conduits
Final? effluent? conduits? connecting? the? various? facilities? associated? with? the? UV
Disinfection? Facilities? would? be? constructed? along? with? the? primary? facilities.? ? For? the
purposes? of? this? study,? the? final?effluent? conduits?are? assumed? to?be? square? and? 8’
? x? 8’
for? the? Battery? E? effluent? to? the? LLPS? and? 11’
? x? 11’
? for? all? other? conduits.? ? All? effluent
conduits? would? be? cast-in-place? concrete? construction? designed? for? open? channel? flow.
Due? to? the? comparatively? low? weight? of? the? conduits? and? water? contained? therein
compared? to? the? soil? excavated,? no? deep? foundations? are? anticipated? at? this? time.? ? In
most?cases,?the?conduits?would?be?designed?for?2’?or?less?cover?and?to?handle?H20?traffic
loading? with? the? exception? of? the? conduit? downstream? of? proposed? Gate? Structure? #3,
which?is?between?10?and?15?feet?below?grade?to?match?the?existing?outfall?conduit?in?that
location.? ? Where? possible,? common? wall? construction? with? adjacent? structures? is
assumed?to?be?utilized.
It?should? be?noted? that?the?LLPS? Discharge? Conduit? would?initially? be?designed?for?open
channel? flow,? as? are? the? remaining? flow? conduits.? ? However,? in? the? future,? this? conduit
would? be? under? pressure? when? the? LLPS? pumps? are? replaced? to? allow? pumping? to? the
tertiary?filtration? facility? when? it? is? constructed.? ? As? such,?this?conduit? would? be? designed
for? pressure? of? approximately? 15? feet? of? head? above? the? top? slab.? ? In? addition,? two
bonneted? slide? gates? would? be? provided,? in? lieu? of? conventional? slide? gates,? to? account
for? this?future? change? to? the? system? operation.? ? One? would?be? on? the? conduit? to? the? UV
Disinfection? Building? and? the? other? would? be? on? the? stub? to? the? south? for? the? future
connection?to?the?tertiary?filtration?facility.
Construction? of? the? connection? to? the? existing? effluent? conduit? upstream? of? proposed
Gate? Structure? #1? is? assumed? to? require? hand? mining? and? extensive? sheeting? and
shoring? to?allow?exposure? of?the? existing? conduit.?? Underpinning?of? the?existing?and? new
conduits? would? be? completed? to? prevent? unexpected? strain? on? the? structure.? ? A? cast-in-
place? sleeve? would? be? constructed? around? the? existing? conduit.? ? The? final? connection
would?be? made? “in?the? wet”? by?removing?the? top?of? the?existing? concrete? and? inserting?a
pre? constructed? bulkhead? along? one? side? of? the? conduit.? ? A? water? tight? seal? around? the
bulkhead? is? not?likely?to? be? possible? and? dewatering?pumping? is? assumed? necessary.?? It
is? assumed? that? plant? flow? would? be? controlled? to? maintain? a? narrow? range? of? flows
during? this? construction? by? diverting? flows? in? excess? of? dry? weather? flow? to? TARP
temporarily.? ? The? final? connection? would? be? made? by? sawcutting? the? opening? and
repairing?the?exposed?surfaces?before?removal?of?the?bulkhead?and?completion?of?the?top
of? the? connecting? sleeve.? ? Backfill? would? be? structural? fill? and? flowable? fill? if? necessary.
During?this?work,?it?is?assumed?that?the?CTA?rail?operation?would?be?halted?for?a?period?of

two?weeks?and?alternate?means?of?public?transportation?(bus)?would?be?provided?for?that
period.??That?cost?is?not?included?in?this?study.
Three? gate? structures? would?be? constructed? to? permit? combining?flows?and?facilitate?flow
control?as?follows:
Gate?Structure?#1
Gate? Structure? #1? is? intended? to? combine? flow? from? Battery? A,? B,? C,? D,? and? F? on? the
existing? site? with?flow?from?Battery? E?on?the?north?site?and?direct?it? to? the?LLPS? wet? well.
Motorized? fabricated? stainless? steel? slide? gates? (one? on? each? flow? source)? would? be
provided? to? permit? isolation? of? either? flow? source? or? to? shut? down? the? wet? well.? ? No
aboveground?structure?would?be?associated?with?the?gate?structure,?though?its?top?would
be? 6? inches? above? grade.? ? ? Guard? rails? and/or? concrete? bollards? would? prevent? traffic
over?the?gate?structure?to?protect?the?motor?actuators.
During?the?disinfection?period?(March?to?November)?the?gates?would?be?normally?open?to
permit? flow? to? pass? through? the? LLPS? and? UV? Disinfection? Building.? ? During? the? winter
period? (November? to?April),? the? gates? would?be? normally? closed? to?allow?bypass? around
the? disinfection? facilities.? ? An? access? hatch? would? be? provided? to? allow? access? to? the
structure.
Construction?of?Gate?Structure?#1?would?be?cast-in-place?concrete.??Due?to?the?weight?of
the? concrete? and? gates,? pile? foundations? are? assumed? necessary.? ? Where? possible,
common?wall?construction?with?adjacent?structures?would?be?utilized.
Gate?Structure?#2
Gate? Structure? #2? is? intended? to? allow? Battery? E? flow? to? bypass? the? LLPS? and? UV
Disinfection? Building.? ? The?structure? is? divided?into? two? halves?with?a? bypass? connection
between?them;?the?north?half?directs?Battery?E?flow?from?the?east?to?Gate?Structure?#1?to
the?west?and?the?south?half?directs?UV?Disinfection?Building?effluent?to?Gate?Structure?#3
to? the? east.? ? Two? motorized? fabricated? stainless? steel? slide? gates,? one? on? the
downstream? side? of? the? Battery? E? conduit? and? one? on? the? bypass? connection,? would?be
provided?to?allow?bypass?operation.??No?aboveground?structure?would?be?associated?with
the? gate? structure,? though? its? top? would? be? 6? inches? above? grade.? ? ? Guard? rails? and/or
concrete? bollards? would? prevent? traffic? over? the? gate? structure? to? protect? the? motor
actuators.
During?the? disinfection? period? (March?to?November)? the?gate?on? the? downstream? side? of
the?Battery?E?conduit?would?be?normally?open?and?the?bypass?connection?gate?would?be
normally?closed.? ? During? the? winter? period?(November? to?April),?the?gate? positions?would
reverse? to? allow? bypass? around? the? disinfection? facilities.? ? Two? access? hatches,? one? on
each?half?of?the?structure,?would?be?provided?to?allow?access?to?the?structure.
Construction?of?Gate?Structure?#2?would?be?cast-in-place?concrete.??Due?to?the?weight?of
the?concrete?and?gates,?pile?foundations?are?assumed?necessary.
Gate?Structure?#3
Gate? Structure? #3? connects? the? new? UV? Disinfection? Building? effluent? conduit? to? the
existing? plant?outfall? conduit.? ? This? structure? would? also? be? used? to? convey?flow? through
the?UV?Disinfection?Facilities?when?required.??A?motorized?fabricated?stainless?steel?slide

aboveground?structure?would?be?associated?with?the?gate?structure,?though?its?top?would
be? 6? inches? above? grade.? ? ? Guard? rails? and/or? concrete? bollards? would? prevent? traffic
over?the?gate?structure?to?protect?the?motor?actuator.
During?the?disinfection?period?(March?to?November)?the?gate?would?be?normally?closed?to
force? flow? from? the? existing? site? to? be? directed? into? the? LLPS? wet? well? through? Gate
Structure? #1.? ? During?the? winter? period? (November? to? April),? the? gate? would? be? normally
open? to? allow? bypass? of? existing? site? flow? around? the? disinfection? facilities.? ? An? access
hatch?would?be?provided?to?allow?access?to?the?structure.
Construction?of?Gate?Structure?#3?would?be?cast-in-place?concrete.??Due?to?the?weight?of
the?concrete?and?gates?and?the?soil?conditions,?pile?foundations?are?assumed?necessary.
The?base?of?the?structure?would?form?the?connection?to? the?existing?plant?outfall? conduit.
Underpinning? of? the? existing? and? new? conduits? would? be? completed? to? prevent
unexpected? strain? on? the? structures.? ? The? gate? structure? base? would? be? constructed
around? the? existing? conduit.? ? The? final? connection? would? be? made? “in? the? wet”? by
removing?the?top?of?the?existing?concrete?and?inserting?a?pre?constructed?bulkhead?along
one? side? of? the? conduit.? ? A? water? tight? seal? around? the? bulkhead? is? not? likely? to? be

Following? the? final? completion? of? the? connection,? a? second? and? third? full? pipe? diameter
bulkhead? would? be? constructed? upstream? and? downstream? of? the? proposed? gate? in? the
existing?plant?outfall?conduit?to?allow?its?installation.??Plant?flow?would?be?diverted?through
the? UV? Disinfection? Facilities? during? this? work.? ? Underwater? construction? techniques
would? be? required? to? make? the? insertion? and? sealing? of? the? bulkheads.? ? Following

4.1.6? Geotechnical?Information
The? project? team? has? reviewed? the? two? sets? of? boring? logs? (1969? and? 1977)? for? the
proposed? site? of? UV? Disinfection? Facilities.? These? logs? were? used? to? understand? the
general?subsurface?soil?conditions?at?the?proposed?site?and?provide?a?preliminary?opinion
on?suitable?foundation?type?for?the?proposed?facilities.??See?Appendix?E?for?copies?of?the
referenced?boring?logs.
The? quality? of? the? boring? logs? is? poor,? and? the? properties? of? soils? such? as? unit? weights
and? consolidation? are? not? reported.? Boring? logs? show? that? soil? conditions? are? highly
variable? across?the? proposed? site?(e.g.,?thickness?of? soft?silty?clay?layer? is? 19?feet?at? B-1
and? 40?feet?at?B-2;?both? B-1? and? B-2? are? close? to?each? other).?In? general,?fill?and? topsoil
are? encountered? near? the? ground? surface.? A? stiff? silty? clay? layer? underlies? the? fill/topsoil
layer.?Below?the? stiff?silty?clay?layer,? a?very?soft? silty?clay? layer? (with?very? low?unconfined
compressive? strength?and?high? moisture? content)?is? encountered?to?depths? ranging?from
30? to? 53? feet? below? the? ground? surface.? Inter-bedded? silt? and? sand? layers? and? hardpan
are? encountered? before? finally? experiencing? auger? refusal? (apparent? top? of? the? bedrock)
at?depths?ranging?from?55?to?58?feet.
The? proposed? structures? would? be? located? 15? to? 20? feet? below? the? existing? grade.? This
means? that? the? base? of? the? structures? would? be? located? within? the? soft? silty? clay? layer.
Approximately? 25? to? 35? feet? of? soft? clay? would?remain? below? the? base? of? the? proposed
structures.?If?a? slab?foundation? is? proposed,?a?detailed?analysis?for? bearing? capacity?and
settlement? is? warranted.?Since? the? thickness? of? soft?clay?and? underlying? soils?are? widely
varying,? a? detailed? assessment? of? differential? settlement? is? also? necessary.? Such
analysis? is? not? possible? now? based? on? very? limited? information? presented? on? the? boring
logs.
As? the? proposed? structures? are? large? and? heavy,? and? also? the? maximum? allowable
settlement? should? be? less? than? one? inch,? it? is? appropriate? at? this? level? of? design
development? to? assume? a? deep? foundation? system? extending? into? the? hardpan? or? to? the
top?of?the?bedrock.?Either?drilled?shafts?or?pile?foundations?are?suitable?to?use.?However,

there?may?be?potential?squeeze-in?problems?in?the?soft?clay?layer?during?the?construction
of? drilled? shafts,?even? though? some?preventive? measures? (e.g.? use? of? casing)? may? be
taken? to? avoid? such? problems.? In? our? opinion,? a? pile? foundation? system? should? be
considered?for?cost?estimate?purposes.
It?is?assumed?for?this?analysis?that?the?effluent?flow?conduits?would?be?significantly?lighter
than?the?other?structures?and?approximate?the?weight?of?the?soil?to?be?removed.
A? detailed? subsurface? investigation? is? recommended? to? characterize? the? soft? silty? clay
layer?and?underlying?soil?layers.?Both?strength?and?consolidation?properties?of?these?soils
should?be?determined?by?field?and?laboratory?testing.?These?data?would?be?necessary?for

10.2? Basis?of?Operation?and?Maintenance?Costs
The? assumptions? used? to? develop? the? maintenance? and? operating? costs? are? presented
below:
?
A? power? cost? of? $0.0684/kW -hr? was? used? as? a? composite? rate? based? on? the
District’s?2007?power?supply?contract.
?
Labor? rates? were? developed? based? on? the? results? of? the? phone? survey? of? similar
facilities,? discussions? with? the? manufacturer,? and? recommendations? by? the
District.
?
UV?Disinfection?Building?and?the?LLPS?would?operate?from?March?1?to?November
30?each?year.
?
Annual? UV? lamp? replacement? and? disposal? costs? were? based? on? the? following
replacement?schedule:
o
? Lamps?replaced?each?year?(100%?per?year)
o
? Ballasts?replaced?every?five?years?(20%?per?year)
o
? Quartz?sleeves?replaced?every?10?years?(10%?per?year)

10.3? Basis?of?Net?Present?Value?Calculation
In? order? to? develop? a? net? present? worth? valve? for? comparison? to? other? alternatives? with
differing? M&O? costs,? a? present? worth? factor? of? 23.17? was? used? for? all? present? worth
calculations,?based? on? a?nominal?4.875%?interest? rate?for? 20? years?with?a? 3.0%?inflation
factor.
The? interest? rate? is? the? 2007? nominal? discount? rate? published? by? authority? of? the? Water
Resources? Development? Act? of? 1974.? ? The? use? of? this? discount? rate? mirrors? the? United
States? Army? Corps? of? Engineers? policy? related? to? calculation? of? life? cycle? costs? for
comparative?analysis.??The?current?annual?rate?can?be?obtained?from?the?US?Department
of? Agriculture,? Natural? Resources? Conservation? Service? (http://www.economics.nrcs.
usda.gov/cost/priceindexes/rates.html).
The? inflation? rate? was? developed? by? comparison? of? three? common? inflation? indicators.
Those?indicators?are:
1.
Gross?Domestic?Product?Deflator
2.
Consumer?Price?Index?(CPI)
3.
Producer’s?Price?Index?(PPI)
As? of? the? end? of? August? 2007? (most? recent? available? data),? the? three? indicators? have? a
10-year? rolling? average? inflation? of? 2.6%,? 2.9%,? and? 2.6%? respectively.? ? Data? for? the
GDP? Deflator? is? available? from? the? US? Department? of? Commerce,? Bureau? of? Economic
Analysis,? Table? 1.1.9? (
http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/SelectTable.asp
).??Data?for
the? CPI? and? PPI? is? available? from? the? US? Department? of? Labor,? Bureau? of? Labor
Statistics? (http://www.bls.gov/home.htm
).? ? Therefore,? a? value? of? 3.0%? was? selected? to
provide?a?reasonable,?yet?conservative,?estimate?of?inflation.
10.4? Discussion?of?Cost?Estimate?Line?Items
The? preliminary? opinion? of? probable? construction? cost? was? developed? based? on? the
drawings? developed? as? part? of? this? study? (see? Volume? 2),? CTE’s? knowledge? of? local
construction? market,? CTE’s? experience? with? similar? projects,? specific? budgetary? quotes
from?equipment?suppliers,?and?industry?standard?practices.??The?quantities?for?each?item
included? in? the? cost? estimate? were? measured? from? the? drawings? or? estimated? based? on
CTE’s?understanding?of?probable?means?and?methods?of?construction.
In? general,? unit? costs? for? each? line? are? considered? assembly? costs? including? labor? and
materials? for? that? item? plus? ancillary? items? normally? associated? with? that? item? unless
included? elsewhere.? ? For? example,? concrete? costs? are? given? including? formwork,? rebar,
and? concrete,? but? not? including? excavation? and? backfilling,? which? are? included? as

proposed?at?the?NSWRP.??While?an?evaluation?to?the?level?equivalent?to?the?evaluation?of
the? proposed? facilities? at? NSW RP? was? not? completed? as? part? of? this? study,? it? can? be
assumed? that? the? costs? for? implementation? of? UV? Disinfection? at? the? CWRP? would? be
largely? commiserate? with? the? costs? for? the? same? facilities? at? NSWRP.? ? The? facilities
would?be?generally?identical?to?the?NSWRP?facilites?with?the?following?exceptions:
1.? Existing?information?on?soils?in?the?CWRP?area?indicates?that?there?is?no?need?for
deep? foundations? to? support? the? proposed? structures,? nor? for? the? upstream? and
downstream? connections? to? the? existing? effluent? (assumed? to? reuse? existing
chlorine?contact?chamber?gates).
2.? The? arrangement? of? the? CWRP? facilities,? specifically? the? digesters,? chlorine
contact? chambers? (out-of-service),? and? final? effluent? conduits? create? a
constrained? site? with? no? space? available? to? locate? the? proposed? disinfection
facilities.? ? Therefore,? it? is? assumed? that? the? chlorine? contact? chambers? would? be
demolished? to? provide? space? for? the? UV? Disinfection? Facilities.? ? However,? it? is
assumed? that? only? the? walls? would? be? demolished? and? the? void? filled? with
common?fill?or? structural?fill?as?appropriate.? ? The?existing? base? slab? would?be? left
in?place.
3.? The? ComEd? power? transmission? system? improvements? are? based? on? the
transmission? system? specific? to? CWRP.? ? Per? ComEd? representatives,? the? only
expected?improvements?would?be?adjustment?to?existing?protective?devices?at?the
ComEd?transformer?yard?at?CWRP.
4.? The? peak? design? flow? for? CWRP? is? 480? mgd? compared? to? 450? mgd? for? the
NSWRP.

It? should? also? be? noted? that? the? CWRP? is? currently? experiencing? restrictions? in? plant
capacity? during? wet? weather? events? due? to? backwater? effects? in? the? plant? outfall.
Therefore,?a?LLPS?is?assumed?necessary?at?the?CWRP.
To? estimate? the? costs? for? the? UV? Disinfection? Facilities? at? CWRP,? CTE? deducted? the
costs? for? the? deep? foundations? and? special? connections? to? effluent? conduits,? multiplied
the? remaining? capital? cost? estimate?by? the? ratio? of? 480? mgd? to?450? mgd,? and? added? the
cost? for? demolishing? the? existing? chlorine? contact? chamber
