1. Discussion Re: the Citv of CaW Canaveral's Amended wastewater Facilities Plan
Amended Capital Financin Plan and Dedicated Revenue Leguirements.
Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, would present an explanation
of the City's Amended Wastewater Facilities Plan, Amended Capital Financing Plan, and
Dedicated Revenue requirements for the wastewater /reuse project.
Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, stated that the information presented in the Facilities
Plan was consistent with the City of Cape Canaveral's Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the
Facilities Plan was developed to support the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan application. He
commented that in the preparation of the Plan, including the Capital Financing Plan, there were
various documents used to support and develop the Plan (listed on References attachment). Mr.
ReVoir proceeded to explain in detail each of the following items (also shown on overhead
projector to the audience) :
• Cape Canaveral service area map showing entire City limits and the Port
Canaveral area;
0 Existing Land Use acreages table and map, including developed and vacant acres;
• Statistics: Climate - Moderate
Soils - Good for development
Beach soils - Not suitable for development
Surface water - Banana River - Aquatic preserve
Air quality - Generally good, except for periodic emissions from
power plants in the area
Plant & Animal Populations - WWTP will not significantly impact
any endangered species

+ Existing Process Flow Schematic - Existing facility is a 1.8 mgd secondary
treatment facility with some partial nutrient
removal capabilities; clarification,
chlorination, and de- chlorination prior to a
discharge into the Banana River; sludge
holding and sand drying beds to dewater the
sludge prior to hauling to the County
landfill.
0 Annual Average Daily Flow Projections;
Indian River Lagoon Act, Chapter 90 -262, Laws of Florida - required owners
of existing wastewater treatment facilities discharging into the Lagoon or its
tributaries to: cease discharging or demonstrate the need for continued discharge
by July 1, 1995, and investigate the feasibility of utilizing reclaimed water for
beneficial purposes by July 1, 1992.
• Population and Wastewater Flow Projections - included population projections
up to the year 2013 (11,750) with a projected total anticipated flow capacity of
1.705 mgd.
s Effluent disposal options - the original feasibility study submitted by Post,
Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan had recommended a wetland treatment system; the
City proceeded toward that wetland system until last year when the City was
approached by the City of Cocoa Beach to provide reuse in a bulk quantity. The
City went back and evaluated the cost effectiveness of the reuse which determined
that the maximum reuse system was more cost effective.
• Capital Cost Summary and Present value Analysis of Reuse Alternatives;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary of Nutrient Removal- the Five
Stage Bardenpho nutrient removal process in combination with a minimum reuse
system was the most cost effective treatment and effluent disposal alternative.
• Effluent Parameters;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary - included filtration and
disinfection alternatives with continuous backwash filters and chlorination /de-
chlorination being the most cost effective methods;
Sludge Treatment and Disposal Options Analysis Summary - evaluation of Class
A and B sludge alternatives; dewater and dispose of sludge in County landfill
being the most cost effective;

* Proposed Process Flow Schematic for the new wastewater treatment facility which
included new pretreatment structures, screening, grit removal, new AWT nutrient
removal facilities, chlorination and de- chlorination facilities for discharge to the
river, filtration and high level chlorination for reuse applications.
• Estimated Project Cost Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Improvements -- total
cost including City contribution - $4,687,276 (included loan service fee, loan
repayment reserve, capitalized interest estimate) .
Estimated Project Cost Maximum Reuse System - total cost including City
contribution - $4,995,748 (included loan service fee, loan repayment reserve,
capitalized interest estimate) .
• Capital Financing Plan Summary - User fee increases required: 1995 - 0 %; 1996
- 24.8%; 1997 - 2.98%; 1998 - 0%; 1999 - 0%; Average residential user
charge /per month /customer - 1995 - $13.92; 1996 - $17.37; 1997 - $17.89; 1998
- $17.89; 1999 - $17.89.
Implementation Schedule - Plant to be built - 1995; plant on line - 1996;
complete construction of reuse system - 212196; begin SRF loan repayments -
2197.
Wastewater System Facilities Plan Recommendations - implement the following
cost - effective alternatives:
1 Upgrade the treatment facility to include a new pretreatment system,
treatment system additions to achieve biological nutrient removal to AWT
levels, new clarification systems, and new filtration system;
2) Select the sludge management alternative of providing dewatering prior to
land filling; and
3) Construct reclaimed water supply, transmission and distribution system to
provide 750,000 gpd of reclaimed water to the City of Cocoa Beach
pursuant to the interlocal agreement and to maximize the use of the
remaining reclaimed water produced at the Cape Canaveral WWTP within
the City limits of the City of Cape Canaveral.
Mr. Berger questioned data included on the annual average daily flow chart. Mr. ReVoir stated
that the peals flow was in 1991 and the low flow rate was in 1993. Mr. Berger questioned if
a 10% contingency in the construction operation costs would be reasonable to cover
unanticipated expenses. Mr. ReVoir stated that the State funding was based on the 10%
contingency. Mr. Berger commented that 10% was not a realistic amount with regard to the
reuse system construction. Mr. ReVoir stated that the original estimated costs were based on

30% contingency, but conservative line item estimates were used along with the 10%
contingency to be consistent with the State.
Mr. Porter stated that Council needed to take a close look at phasing the construction of the
reuse system considering the overall estimated cost of the construction of the total system. The
public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public.
2. Resolution No. 94 -57 Adopting the Amended wastewater System Facilities Plan for the
City of Cape Canaveral,
Mayor S alamone read the title of the Resolution.
