 Flows
 Current
 Average Daily Flow
(ADF) = 0.56 mgd
 Peak Flow = 2.18 mgd
 Currently 3,615 EDUs
 Projected
 Build-out ADF = 1.14
mgd (uses 225 gallons
per day per EDU)
 Build-out Peak = 3.58
mgd (uses MD peaking
curve)
 Essentially Un-changed
since Mayo inception
Build-out Equivalent Dwelling
Units (EDUs)
Treatment Facilities
 Treatment Train
 STEP – solids settle
 Influent Pumping
 Recirculating Sand Filters
 Reduces solids (TSS), ammonia-N
(NH3), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
 Small degree of pathogen reduction
 Emergent Wetlands
 Subsurface flow lined gravel beds
supporting growth of bulrushes and
cattails
 Further reduces solids, (TSS), ammoniaN (NH3), Biological Oxygen Demand
(BOD)
 Small degree of pathogen reduction
 Phosphorus Clarifier
 Lime added to precipitate phosphorus
Treatment Facilities
 Treatment Train, continued
 Peat Wetlands
 Drained, lined beds, with alternating
layers of sand and peat with a
grassy vegetative cover over which
wastewater is sprayed
 Effluent polishing (TSS removal)
 Some pathogen reduction
 UV Disinfection
 Primary source of pathogen
reduction
 UV radiation penetrates pathogen
DNA and precludes them from
reproducing
 Effluent Pumping

 Refurbish existing units when treatment effectiveness decreases (sand filters,
emergent wetlands)
Plant Expansion Efforts

Planning started 1998

Design nearly complete 2002

Change in treatment process dictates changes to outfall

Negotiations with MDE and FDA required to determine if
existing outfall could be used – Risk Analysis

Possible outfall modifications

New outfall location (abandon existing)

Establish shellfish harvesting closure zone around existing outfall

MDE requires new outfall location – no new closure zones

Growth moratorium in place until plant can be expanded
Initial Expansion Alternatives
 Seven Expansion Alternatives developed for
discussions with MDE
 MDE Criteria
 Change in treatment process requires shellfish harvesting
closure zone –or- new outfall location
 State policy prohibits establishing new shellfish harvesting
closure zones
 ENR treatment requires change in treatment process
 No choice: new outfall location
 County Selection Criteria
 No Shellfish Closure Zone
 Includes Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR)
Conceptual Aternatives Considered

Alt 1: ENR Upgrade at Mayo – Existing Ouftall

Alt 2: ENR Upgrade at Mayo – New Deep Water Outfall

Alt 3: Pump Mayo Wastewater to Annapolis WRF (ENR treatment)

Alt 4: ENR Upgrade at Mayo – Pump treated effluent to Annapolis
WRF Outfall

Alt 5: Pump Expanded flow (.525 mgd) to Annapolis WRF via
Woodland Beach; Retain Mayo treatment for existing flow (.615
mgd)

Alt 6: ENR Upgrade at Mayo – Re-circulate effluent thru existing
treatment process – Existing Outfall

Alt 7: Expand Mayo using existing treatment process – Existing
Outfall
Initial Expansion Alternatives, cont.
 Alternatives that maintain existing treatment
were deleted
 Alternatives that keep the existing outfall were
deleted
 Alternatives that meet criteria: 2, 3 and 4
 For feasible alternatives, Cost Analysis showed
 Alternative 2 (new outfall) is the most expensive
 Alternative 3 (pump STEP flow wastewater to
Annapolis) is the least expensive

Phase 1 Improvements
 Accelerate replacement of limited operational components
given delays to Expansion/ENR Project.
 No Expansion Related Upgrades – Moratorium remains in
place
 Phase 1 Upgrade – needed for systems near the end of
useful life
 Main Pump Station – pump replacements
 Two covered flow equalization tanks
 Ultra-Violet Disinfection System replacement
 Upgrade Electrical Distribution System
 Emergency Back-up Power
 Upgrade System Controls (SCADA)
Next Steps

Pursue Phase 1 Upgrade Contract

Refine Scopes and Costs for Alternatives
2, 3 and 4

Develop and Evaluate Non-cost criteria

Re-convene Mayo CAC

Recommend and Pursue Preferred
Alternative.
