Project/Program Description:City of Cape Canaveral WWTP Improvements for Oxidation Ditch Rehabilitation. The City’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that serves the entire population
of the City depends on a single oxidation ditch to provide aerobic treatment of wastewater. The oxidation ditch has been in operation for over 30 years, is subject to mechanical failure
due to age and is in need of major structural and equipment upgrades. Engineering studies have recommended that a second oxidation ditch be constructed to prevent the discharge of partially
treated wastewater to the Banana River Lagoon in the event the oxidation ditch is out of service due to mechanical or structural failure. This Project will include the upgrade/conversion
of the existing flow equalization basin to a “backup” or emergency oxidation ditch as well as structural/mechanical upgrades to the existing oxidation ditch. The retrofitted flow equalization
basin will serve as a permanent, second oxidation ditch thus providing the critically needed redundancy in the wastewater treatment process.

spent? Include supporting documentation.Funds will used to (1) upgrade and convert the existing flow equalization basin to a “backup” or emergency oxidation ditch and (2) upgrade
the existing oxidation ditch with structural and mechanical improvements. The conversion of the flow equalization basin will require the installation of a diffused aeration system,
internal recycle pumps and extensive interconnecting pipes. The upgrade of the existing oxidation ditch will require structural repairs to the oxidation ditch walls and replacement
of all mechanical equipment (blowers, piping, shields, etc.). The requested funds will be utilized for construction and installation of these system upgrades. An Opinion of Probable
Cost that includes the project scope of work is attached.
b.Identify expected program results and the expected benefit associated from the requested funds.
Engineering studies have recommended a second oxidation ditch to prevent the discharge of partially treated wastewater in the event the existing oxidation ditch is out of service due
to mechanical or structural failure. Completion of this Project will provide the City with an upgraded oxidation ditch as well as a “backup” or emergency oxidation ditch. This redundancy
will reduce or eliminate the possibility of the direct discharge of partially treated wastewater into the Banana River Lagoon, a National Estuary and Aquatic Preserve.

c.Who will benefit from receipt of State funds?
Project completion will provide the residents of Cape Canaveral with an improved WWTP upgraded with two oxidation ditches for wastewater treatment redundancy. The “backup” or emergency
oxidation ditch will reduce the possibility of the discharge of partially treated wastewater thus eliminating the potential for water quality degradation in the Banana River Lagoon.
d.What specific measures will be used to document performance data for the project, if it receives funds?
When the “backup” or emergency oxidation ditch is operational, the WWTP must remain in compliance in accordance with the FDEP-approved WWTP permit. Therefore, permit-defined limits
of numerous compounds (nitrogen, phosphorous, etc.) in WWTP effluent must continue to be met; concentrations of these compounds will continue to be monitored as required. These monitoring
data will be reported to FDEP in the required monthly reports. Documentation of structural and mechanical improvements to the existing oxidation ditch will also be reported.
