SHARPLES REPLACEMENT
The WSUD Board of Commissioners approved the Investment Grade Audit (IGA) on February
71h and DES provided the funding authorization on February 141h. A meeting is scheduled with
Trane (the ESCO) for February 241h for the IGA kickoff. The project schedule will extend into
2023 due to delivery of equipment delays.
NUTRIENT GENERAL PERMIT
The new permit was effective on January 1, 2022. However, the new reporting requirements did
not begin until February Is'. There are many additional reporting and sampling requirement for
this and future years. Due to the required frequency of sampling and the length of time nutrient
samples take to complete at the labs, as well as labs being overloaded currently, every month
moving forward most likely'be late, but Ecology is aware of this. Their remedy currently is to
submit the incomplete DMR and once we receive the sample results, edit and resubmit.
An application has been submitted for the GNP available grant funding for the SKWRF towards
nutrient monitoring improvements focused on metering as well as additional laboratory funding.
Also, an Excel document for the GNP sample results and data has been created. Once a
representative group of samples have been received and we are further into the year, an update
on current loadings, where we currently stand at the 215,000 Action Level, projected outcome,
etc., will be provided.
NPDES PERMIT REPORTING UPDATE
There are a few required reports for our NPDES permit that require assistance from the City of
Port Orchard as well as WSUD. One of the reports is for Infiltration and Inflow which was been
sent to COPO on February 3rd. It is a fairly simple report but needs to be completed with data
using both collection systems.
The next report is an Industrial User Survey which also needs to be completed by both the City
and the District. This report includes a letter as well as a survey sent to all Industrial Users
discharging to the SKWRF. The documents requesting this survey have been sent to the City as
well.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AWARD 2020
SKWRF received the Outstanding Performance Award for 2020. 125 out of 300 Wastewater
Treatment Plants in Washington received this award in 2020.
MARINA PUMP STATION UPDATE
The plans are almost ready for the 80% design review. Construction is planned to begin in 2023.
MEETINGS
