WASTEWATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATE

JANUARY 2013

ii

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The City of Orillia 2012 Wastewater System Master Plan Update (2012 Master Plan Update) provides an

update of the City of Orillia 2004 Wastewater System Master Plan (Original Document). The 2012

Master Plan Update is a stand-alone document, however, it is not a replacement for the Original

Document.

Under the same headings, the 2012 Master Plan Update summarizes the discussion in the Original

Document. It also provides an update of the works carried out since the period covered by the Original

Document. As well, it includes revised projections, additional public consultation, and additional works

not included in the Original Document.

For a comprehensive review of the process followed in the development of the Master Plan, refer to the

Original Document. The 2012 Master Plan Update provides complete details of the process followed to

complete the revisions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The 2012 Master Plan Update re-establishes the framework set out in the Original Document and

specifically identifies the wastewater system requirements to service City re-urbanization and

development of approximately 550 hectares of land in West Orillia. This framework was originally

established through a process that identified the constraints and problems associated with the existing

wastewater system and evaluated alternative methods for rectifying those problems. In the 2012 Master

Plan Update, population and wastewater flow projections have been revised and updated to reflect recent

development, and the capabilities of the existing system have been updated to include recent upgrades to

January 2012. A revised Schedule of Works listing the annual major works that are recommended over

the next 20 years has also been developed, including timelines and costs.

The recommended wastewater system expansion works include:

Expansion of the existing Wastewater Treatment Centre Capacity

The works do not include smaller, collector sewers to service individual residences, businesses and

industries – planning for these smaller systems will be the responsibility of the developers.

The recommended works also include:

Improvements to existing Sewage Pumping Stations; and

Other programs to improve monitoring, system efficiency and reliability.

These efficiency procedures could potentially reduce the scope of future works, in particular ultimate

treatment and sewage pumping station capacity.

Planning for the Original Document followed the Municipal Engineers Association Class Environmental

Assessment process and thereby satisfied the first two phases, including Phase 1 and 2 requirements with

respect to public and agency notification and involvement. This means that all works identified in the

Original Document, with the exception of major expansions of the existing Wastewater Treatment Centre,

could proceed to implementation without further public or agency notification.

Public and agency consultation for the revised works outlined in the 2012 Master Plan Update consisted

of an advertisement announcing Public Comment Invited, and a Notice of Completion of the process with

a brief summary of the revisions to the originally proposed works. This is in accordance with the

requirements of Ontario Environmental Assessment Act as outlined in the Municipal Engineers

Association Class Environmental Assessment, October 2000, as amended 2007.

The Master Plan and subsequent updates should be reviewed and updated again every five years to ensure

that the documentation continues to accurately reflect planned works and thereby avoid having to begin

the entire process again.

The updated Schedule of Works is presented overleaf. This Schedule of Works has been developed on the

assumption of wastewater flow projections within MOE-recommended per capita flows.

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1.1 LOCATION OF THE UNDERTAKING

The City of Orillia is located approximately 35 km northeast of Barrie via Highway No. 11, on

the shores of Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching, as shown on Figure 1-1.

In general terms, the service area included in the Original Document is defined by the existing

municipal boundary, including West Orillia (See Section 3.1). However, in the process of

developing the Original Document, adequate consideration was also given to the possibility of

servicing adjacent municipalities.

1.2 EXISTING WASTEWATER SYSTEM

The existing wastewater system in the City of Orillia consists of 163 km of sanitary sewer, 20

sanitary sewage pumping stations, 10.3 km of sanitary forcemain, 2187 maintenance holes, a

septage receiving facility, and a 27,300 m3/d capacity (average day) Wastewater Treatment

Centre (WWTC).

All components of the wastewater system are owned, operated and maintained by the City of

Orillia.

1.3 PURPOSE OF THE MASTER PLAN

The purpose of the Original Document was to establish a framework to specifically identify the

wastewater infrastructure requirements to service: City re-urbanization, the Victoria Point area,

development of approximately 550 hectares of land in West Orillia, the Inch Development Area

and some land area in Severn Township (See Figure 1-2). In order to achieve this objective, it

was necessary to: clearly identify the constraints and problems associated with the existing

wastewater system, evaluate alternative methods of rectifying these problems, and recommend,

cost, phase and schedule major works for future budgeting and implementation.

The purpose of the 2012 Master Plan Update is to summarize the progress made since the

Original Document was prepared and to revise the projections and recommended works to reflect

current information and new legislation and regulations.

Planning for the Original Document followed the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class

Environmental Assessment (EA) process, satisfying the first two phases of the requirements of

the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act as outlined in the MEA Municipal Class

Environmental Assessment, June 2000 to plan, design and implement the future components of

the Scheduled Works. The Municipal Class EA process provides for the planning and

implementation of projects which, while subject to the Environmental Assessment Act, do not

warrant an individual EA.

Planning for the 2012 Master Plan Update followed the same process. The Municipal Class

Environmental Assessment was amended in 2007, with none of the updates changing the

planning requirements that were undertaken for the Original Document.

In accordance with the Class EA process, projects are categorized according to their magnitude

and potential effect(s) on the environment. Schedule A/A+ projects, such as upgrading a

wastewater collection system or existing sewage treatment facility within an approved

development plan, are pre-approved and may proceed to implementation without following the

full Class EA process. Schedule B projects, such as extending a wastewater collection system

beyond an approved development plan, and generally include improvements and minor

expansions to existing facilities, require a screening process, involving mandatory contact with

directly affected public and relevant review agencies, to ensure that their concerns, if any, are

addressed (referred to as Phase 2 in the Class EA process). Schedule C projects, such as

constructing a new sewage treatment plant or expanding an existing sewage treatment plant

beyond its rated capacity, should follow the full planning and documentation procedures

specified in the Class EA document including preparation of an Environmental Study Report

(ESR) to be filed for review by public and review agencies.

The Original Document identified an EA category for each of the projects recommended in its

Schedule of Works. Any individual or agency who felt that there were significant environmental

concerns associated with any of the recommended projects, which would be better handled

through the next Class EA category, or by an Individual EA rather than a Class EA, had the

opportunity to request a Part II Order by writing to the Minister of the Environment.

Since the procedures outlined in the Original Document satisfied the first two phases of the Class

EA process and no Part II Orders were requested, the proponent (the City of Orillia) was free to

proceed with the design and construction of all Schedule A/A+ and B projects. For Schedule C

projects, the proponent is still required to fulfill the additional requirements of Phases 3, 4 and 5

of the Class EA process, including preparation of an ESR, evaluation of alternative design

concepts for a preferred solution, site specific environmental issues, and additional public

consultation and notification.

Similarly, the City is free to proceed with all revised Schedule A/A+ and B projects as outlined

in the 2012 Master Plan Update, and must fulfill additional requirements for revised Schedule C

projects, having completed the EA procedures required to update the Master Plan.

More detailed information on the Class EA and Master Plan processes can be found in Section

2.2 of the Original Document.

1.4 RELEVANT REPORTS AND STUDIES

A list of various reports and documentation which contain additional information relevant to this

Master Plan Update can be found in the References at the end of this report.

Page 4

2.0 SUMMARY OF MASTER PLANNING PROCESS

Due to pressure for growth in the City, particularly in West Orillia, the City prepared a

Wastewater System Master Plan in 2004 to define the framework for future City development

and expenditures. The Master Planning procedure followed the first two phases of the five phase

Class EA process.

In Section 2 of the Original Document, a comprehensive summary of the five phase Class EA

process and Master Planning procedure, the public consultation process followed and review

agency participation is provided.

The 2012 Master Plan Update reflects the deletion of works from the Schedule of Works that

have been completed since the Original Document was filed, as well as refinements of

recommended works due to revised (lower) population and flow projections and additional

works arising primarily as a result of new Provincial legislation and regulations. In short, the

revisions are of a relatively minor nature that do not warrant an extensive re-consultation

process. Therefore, public consultation consisted of inviting public comment and notification of

review agencies by letter and publication in a local newspaper of a Revised Notice of

Completion of the Wastewater System Master Plan (which also summarized the proposed works,

notified who to contact with questions and comments, and outlined Part II Order procedures). A

copy of the letter to review agencies and Revised Notice of Completion is included in Appendix

A.

3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

3.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

The proposed Orillia service area and layout of the existing sewage collection system are shown

in Figure 3-1. The service area corresponds to the City of Orillia municipal boundary, including

West Orillia.

The City of Orillia extends on either side of Highway 11, at the intersection with Highway 12

(Coldwater Road), approximately 35 km northeast of Barrie. The present service area is

approximately 2,656 hectares and is bounded on the northwest by the Township of Severn, on

the southwest by the Township of Oro-Medonte, on the northeast by Lake Couchiching and on

the southeast by Lake Simcoe. The Township of Ramara is located east of Orillia, across the two

lakes.

Current wastewater flows generated from industries, commercial developments and institutions

represent approximately 43% of the total flows in the City, and are ultimately expected to

account for almost 50% of the total wastewater flows. Therefore the need to accommodate

industrial development is an important element of the Master Planning process.

The 2006 and 2011 Census identified residential population in Orillia of 30,259 and 30,586

respectively. There are currently 12,980 residences, 106 industries, 395 commercial

establishments, and 38 institutions (e.g. schools, hospitals, libraries, and nursing/retirement

homes).

The existing Wastewater Treatment Centre (WWTC) is located in the City of Orillia on a site

bordered by Kitchener Street to the south, Highway 12 to the north and West Street South to the

east. The plant location is shown on Figure 3-1 and is in an industrial area, adjacent to the City's

waste diversion site. Open space and some commercial establishments surround the industrial

area. The closest residential area is several hundred metres away from the WWTC. Hence, the

plant does not infringe upon the required site buffer zone, nor is likely to in the event of an

expansion.

3.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The demographic characteristics of Orillia as summarized in the Original Document were those

of a generally older population than that of Simcoe County, Ontario and Canada as a whole.

Overall, this reflects the character of Orillia as a quiet, but active urban centre, with a wide range

of professional, community, cultural, recreational and tourism activities and all amenities

associated with a small urban centre.

The 2011 Census indicates that Orillia’s population grew from in 27,846 in1996 to 29,121 in

2001 to 30,259 in 2006 to 30,586 in 2011. The Census indicates that Orillia’s population

continues to fit an older age profile, with a median age of 45 compared with 42 in Simcoe

County, 40 in Ontario, and 41 in Canada as a whole.

The economic characteristics of Orillia as summarized in the Original Document were those of

an economy largely oriented towards the service, trade and manufacturing sectors. The 2006

Census indicates that these characteristics have changed slightly with an increase in the

business/finance/ administration sector and a decrease in the manufacturing sector.

3.3 RECEIVING WATER

The Orillia Wastewater Treatment Centre (WWTC) discharges to Lake Simcoe via Ben’s Ditch

which, through Lake Couchiching and the Severn River, ultimately feeds Severn Sound and the

Midland Harbour.

The Original Document anticipated that the MOE would require more stringent effluent

conditions in the future. Since that time, Lake Simcoe has been the focus of extensive

environmental management strategies concerned with the control and reduction of nutrient

levels. Due to the implementation of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (2009) and the Phosphorus

Reduction Strategy for the Lake Simcoe Watershed (2010), the Orillia WWTC will be required

to meet more stringent phosphorus limits of 0.1 mg/L and 996 kg/yr as of June 2015. An

Environmental Compliance Approval has been issued to the City by the Ministry of the

Environment (MOE) in June 2012 to reflect these more stringent effluent total phosphorus (TP)

limits. Total loading and average concentration of phosphorus in WWTC effluent to Lake

Simcoe over the last 5 years are presented in Table 3-5.

TABLE 3-1 PHOSPHORUS LOADING AND CONCENTRATION

IN WWTC EFFLUENT OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS

Year Average Concentration

(mg/L)

Total Loading

(kg)

2007 0.23 1350

2008 0.16 1048

2009 0.19 1349

2010 0.11 593

2011 0.08 498

In addition, the MOE has indicated that although no effluent total ammonia nitrogen (TAN)

limits would be required at this time; effluent TAN objectives will be included in the ECA for

the upgraded facility. A computer model of the Orillia WWTC was developed to assess the

ability of the existing facility to meet the design effluent TAN objectives of 13 mg/L in the

"summer" and 17 mg/L in the "winter". Based on the results of the modeling, no expansion to the

existing bioreactor or secondary clarifier tankage is required to meet the effluent TAN objectives

for flows up to the ECA rated capacity of 27,300 m3/d. Therefore, the process modification is

required only for phosphorus reduction in the WWTC effluent.

In the Original Document, parameters set out by the MOE for effluent “plume” widths, beyond

which residual chlorine concentrations must be reduced to 0.002 mg/L. Since that time, the

WWTC has been upgraded with an ultraviolet (UV) effluent disinfection facility. This replaced

the previous disinfection process using chlorine gas and satisfies the residual chlorine parameters

set out by the MOE and Environment Canada.

Page 7

Historical parameters measured for secondary treatment plant performance, i.e. 5-day

biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and suspended solids (SS), are not likely to be a concern

since nitrification (ammonia oxidation) and enhanced phosphorus treatment will also result in

more efficient removal of these parameters. Effluent compliance will likely be in the order of 10-

15 mg/L BOD5 and 15 mg/L SS, as is the requirement under the current Environmental

Compliance Approval.

It should also be noted that Severn Sound, into which the effluent from Orillia's WWTC is

ultimately carried, is one of 17 Areas of Concern (AOC's) in Canada (there are an additional 26

AOC's in the United States) which have been identified by the International Joint Commission

(IJC) as areas where provincial water quality objectives have been exceeded. Of the 43 original

areas of concern in Canada and the United States, only one has been delisted. The Severn Sound

AOC is located in south eastern Georgian Bay and covers an area of approximately 1,000 km2. A

Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was developed to identify and control sources of pollution and

report on the clean-up. However, if provincial requirements with respect to nutrient levels in

Lake Simcoe are not exceeded, then the loadings from wastewater treatment centres discharging

to Lake Simcoe is considered to be acceptable by the IJC.

3.4 EXISTING WASTEWATER SYSTEM

3.4.1 General

Due to the topology of the area, the City’s wastewater collection system is a complex network of

gravity sewers serviced by 20 sanitary sewage pump stations and 17 trunk sewers (defined in this

document as sewers having a diameter of 350 mm or more). All wastewater flows to the James

Street Pumping Station, from where it is pumped to the grit tank inlet of the WWTC.

3.4.2 Sanitary Sewers

Construction of the City’s wastewater collection system commenced in 1909 and by 1911 was

comprised of approximately 13 km of sewer pipe. In subsequent years the length of the system

increased as follows:

1928 - 24 km 1980 - 105 km

1949 - 40 km 1988 - 115 km

1960 - 57 km 1995 - 126 km

1970 - 77 km 2003 - 139 km

2011 - 163 km

The estimated replacement cost of the sewers is $69 million. The trunk sewer collection system

is comprised of the following trunk sewers (pipes with a diameter of 350 mm or more):

Barrie Rd/Jameson St/Birch St to Lexington St

Birch St@Lexington Ave/Westmount Dr S/Rose St/Memorial Ave to James St West

CNR/Queen St E/Matchedash St S to James St East

Fittons Rd East and West to CNR

Woodside Dr/Walker Ave to Barrie Rd

As well as two new trunk sewers added in West Orillia:

Stone Ridge Blvd to West Ridge Blvd.

University Ave from West Orillia Sports Complex to Stone Ridge Blvd.

Canadian National Railway (CNR) Trunk

The CNR Sanitary Trunk Sewer is 3445 m long consisting of 625 m of 525 mm diameter, 2559

m of 600 mm diameter, 185 m of 750 mm diameter, and 76 m of 825 mm diameter pipes. It runs

down the eastern side of the City of Orillia mostly along an old CNR right-of-way.

Information on condition assessment of the sewer system is given in section 5.3.

3.4.3 Sewage Pumping Stations

The City of Orillia sanitary sewer system consists of 20 sanitary sewage pumping stations (SPS)

located as shown on Figure 3-1, and about 10.3 km of sewage forcemain. These stations have

pump design flows from as low as 5 m3/d to over 100,000 m

3/d and are estimated to have a

replacement value of $22 to $27 million. In addition, there are abandoned SPS on Hughes Road

(No. 6) and Cedarmere Road (SPS No. 21), and a stormwater pumping station on James Street

East (No. 15).

At present, the sewage pumping stations at Bayview Parkway (No. 2), Fittons Road West (No.

18), James Street SPS (No. 1), and Champlain Industrial Park (No. 23) are provided with standby

power. In addition, the stations at Couchiching Point Road (No. 5), Bridget Drive/Maple Drive

(No. 13), and Shannon Street (No. 11) are capable of being powered by a portable generator.

In 2005 the City completed a Sewage Pumping Stations Rehabilitation Status Report: an

evaluation of the condition of all of its sewage pumping stations. Each pumping station was

assessed based on Ministry of the Environment and Ten States Standards criteria for new

facilities, with an emphasis physical qualities in order to address concerns with aging equipment,

high power costs, and increased maintenance requirements. The Status Report ranked the

pumping stations in order of priority for rehabilitation / replacement and suggested that one SPS

project be completed per year.

The capacities and service areas of the SPS are included in Appendix C of the Original

Document and are summarized as follows:

Page 9

SPS No. 1 – James Street West

The James Street West SPS receives flow from the entire city. It discharges directly to the

WWTC via twin 600 mm diameter force mains that are 784 m long. It has four electric pumps

two channel grinding units and a standby diesel generator. Several upgrades have been

completed at the James Street West SPS since the Original Document:

In 2005 the existing mechanical bar screening equipment and grinder were replaced

with two new channel grinding units. This upgrade was identified in the Original

Document to address downstream problems associated with rags and other extraneous

matter escaping the screens. This project included: modification of the concrete and

floor grating, installation of hoists for removing the units from the channel for service

and repair, and instrumentation and control linked to the existing SCADA system.

In 2006 a 90 m3/hr septage and hauled sewage receiving station was constructed at

the James Street West SPS. This upgrade was identified in the Original Document to

eliminate problems associated with receiving septage at the WWTC. This system has

a peak flow capacity of 90 m3/hour and discharges to the pumping station inlet

channel through a 250 mm outlet pipe, equipped with a knife gate valve. A second

250 mm knife gate valve and blind flanged pipe was provided for connection to a

future equalization tank. Electronic monitoring and control through a PLC is

connected to the existing SCADA at the Wastewater Treatment Centre via Ethernet.

In 2009 a new standby diesel generator was installed to provide emergency power for

the entire James Street West SPS. Removal of the existing diesel standby engine for

pump #2 was also completed. The Original Document identified this upgrade as

necessary to avoid problems that may occur during a prolonged power outage.

SPS No. 2 – Bayview Parkway

The Bayview Parkway SPS was built in 1957 and upgraded in 1973 with two Fairbanks Morse

variable speed centrifugal pumps. Additional upgrades have been completed to this SPS as

follows:

In 2006 the SPS pumps were replaced with new;

In 2008 the standby generator and electrical controls were replaced.

The drainage basin is in the southeast portion of the city and consists of the following:

Service Area ~ 32 ha

331 residential units

4.0 ha of commercial and institutional facilities

This SPS also receives sewage flows from two SPS to the south (No. 16 & No. 17) and one SPS

to the east (No. 8) whose service areas are not included in the above breakdown. The area

serviced is low lying terrain, susceptible to flooding during spring runoff and storm periods

resulting in higher than normal peak flow to the SPS. Therefore, a 1140 m3 flow equalization

chamber was constructed in 1987, and regular bypass events have been eliminated at this station

since that time.

Page 10

Flow design calculations and field measurements:

Average design flow 10.7 L/s

Peak design flow 34.3 L/s

(including flow from three contributing SPS: No. 8, 16, & 17)

Number of pumps 2

Rated capacity of each pump 57.5 L/s at 21. 9 m total dynamic head (TDH)

Maximum two-pump capacity 66 L/s

Force main size 200 mm

Flo-tote data (Jul 19 – Aug 4, 2004) 17.1 L/s (Max. Flow)

Hydra model (2012 update) 31.4 L/s (Max. Flow)

Flow measurements and calculations indicate that the present pumping capacity and equalization

storage are adequate to maintain average and peak flows. Field flow measurements suggest that,

under peak flow conditions, this SPS operates at approximately 26% of its rated capacity.

Updated Hydra model results take into consideration some inflow and infiltration, and suggest

that peak flow conditions may be closer to 48% of the SPS rated capacity. Previous extensive

flow monitoring indicated that the majority of peak flow can be attributed to storm water inflow.

SPS No. 3 – Couchiching Park

The Couchiching Park SPS was built in 1930 and upgraded with two new Flygt CP3101MT

pumps installed in 1980. The drainage basin is in the vicinity of the Water Filtration Plant (WFP)

and consists of the following:

Service Area ~ 11.5 ha


0.8 ha institutional facility (Birchmere Retirement Home – 78 units)




Number of pumps 2

Rated capacity of each pump 15.8 L/s at 4.6 m TDH

Forcemain size 200 mm

3.4.4 Wastewater Treatment Centre (WWTC)

The Orillia WWTC at its present location was constructed in 1947, designed for a nominal

average daily flow (ADF) of 9,000 m3/d, by the Orillia Water, Light and Power Commission.

The original plant consisted of one coarse bar screen and one Detritor, two primary clarifiers, a

diffused air aeration basin, two final clarifiers, two digesters, and a chlorine disinfection facility.

Over the years the plant was expanded and processes were added, until the current 27,300 m3/d

average day capacity facility was completed. A brief summary of the construction history is as

follows:

In 1963 a substantial expansion of the plant was carried out by the Orillia Water,

Light and Power Commission to increase the nominal ADF capacity to 18,000 m3/d.

This expansion included: an additional bar screen, an additional Detritor, one

additional primary clarifier, one additional final clarifier, and the addition of a

Parshall flume to the chlorination facility.

In 1971 Ontario Water Resources Commission policy prompted addition of

phosphorus removal facilities to the plant consisting of: two 7,000 gal. chemical

storage tanks, two chemical feed pumps and interconnected pipework.

In 1972 alterations were carried out to the digester heating system and the digester

control building consisting of: a new boiler, a gas room, and a heat exchanger.

In 1974 a new primary digester cover was constructed under the supervision of the

Orillia Water, Light and Power Commission.

In 1974 the operation of the WWTC was taken over by the City of Orillia.

In 1975/1976 major alterations were made to the plant's inlet works, administration

building and primary digester. The new inlet works were designed for an ADF of

27,300 m3/d and consisted of the replacement of the bar screens and Detritors, with

two new aerated grit tanks, including an overhead clam, two barminutors, and

blowers for the aerated grit tanks. Additions to the administration building included: a

new MCC panel, a new Hoffman blower for aeration, a new header from the blowers

to the aeration tanks and the installation of a standby 200 KVA diesel generator set in

the basement. New diffusers were installed in the primary digester at this time along

with a new gas compressor.

In 1978/1979 a new floating gasholder cover was provided to the plant's secondary

digester.

Page 21

In 1981 new chlorination facilities designed for 27,300 m3/d ADF were constructed,

replacing the old facilities. The works included: a chlorine contact chamber with

bypass channel, a chlorine building utilizing 1 ton cylinders instead of the old 150 lb

cylinders, new chlorination equipment, and flow measurement over a rectangular weir

for flow recording and chlorine pacing. These works were designed and constructed

such that the main flow of secondary effluent could receive tertiary treatment in the

future, prior to disinfection.

In 1990 the original activated sludge tanks were expanded from four cells to six. The

six cells operate as a single plug flow reactor and aeration is provided by full floor

coverage of tube type pore diffusers.

A summary of work completed since the Original Document is as follows:

Primary clarifiers #1 & #2 failed in 1999 and 1996 respectively. In 2004/2005

clarifier #1 was filled and #2 was converted to an equalization tank for a new

dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit. The DAF unit is designed to a feed flow rate of 88

– 200 m3/d, with a pressurization system designed for a flow rate of 545 m

3/d. Waste

Activated Sludges are redirected to the DAF unit instead of the primary clarifiers,

where they are thickened and pumped to the primary digester. Primary clarifier #3

was retrofitted to a round clarifier 18.3 m diameter after being taken out of service in

the spring of 2003. This retrofit included benching of corners and installation of a

new 18.3 m Cage Drive Scraper Clarifier Mechanism.

In 2005/2006 a project was undertaken to optimize the operation of the dual gas

boiler system at the Wastewater Treatment Centre. This involved troubleshooting the

existing boiler, checking all settings, evaluating performance and determining

SCADA control and monitoring for the system. Flow meters were installed on the gas

train and pressure switch settings optimized.

In 2007/2008 implementation of an ultraviolet disinfection system was initiated to

comply with Environment Canada’s December 2004 Final Notice requiring

implementation of a pollution prevention plan for wastewater systems where chlorine

residual in the effluent exceeded 0.02 mg/L. The UV system was provided with an

operator interface for control and monitoring, and is pace controlled based on contact

chamber weir flow. The system is monitored by the existing PLC in the Chlorine

Building basement and data is transmitted over a new Fibre Optic/Ethernet Cabling

network to the SCADA system located in the Administration Building.

In 2008 two outdated aluminium sulphate chemical feed pumps were replaced with a

new solution feed system featuring two motor driven diaphragm pumps, flow

monitors, and pump interface control module. Also, the secondary digester exterior

was insulated and sealed with protective epoxy paint.

In 2010 the road leading to the plant and parking area were paved, helping to reduce

dust caused from vehicle traffic which may get into equipment and clog filters in air

intakes.

Page 22

In 2010/2011 a new 800kW/1000kVA standby generator was installed on a concrete

pad along the western perimeter of the WWTC property, adjacent to an existing 44

kV hydro transformer substation. This unit was sized to run the entire plant during

power outages and interruptions and is controlled and monitored through the SCADA

system.

The estimated total replacement cost of the WWTC is $62 million. The Orillia WWTC treats an

average annual wastewater flow of 6.5 million cubic metres, and generates approximately 30,000

cubic metres of raw sludge and, assuming approximately 25% volume reduction, 23,000 cubic

metres of anaerobically digested sewage sludge or biosolids annually. The City has established

programs to reduce, reuse and recycle waste, with biosolids recycling forming one component of

that program. Digested liquid biosolids are seasonally applied to agricultural land resulting in

nutrients and organic matter being returned to the soil. When land application cannot be

practised, the liquid is stored in lagoons on-site. The total capacity of the lagoons is

approximately 25,000 m3, however, one of the lagoons is not being used at present because of

suspected leakage, reducing the available capacity by about 36%.

The existing plant utilizes the conventional activated sludge process and the operations consist

of:

Inlet works utilizing two aerated grit tanks and two coarse bar screens;

Primary treatment consisting of three large primary clarifiers #3 , #4 and #5 complete

with sludge collecting and scum skimming equipment (primary sludge is pumped

directly to the anaerobic digesters);

Secondary treatment consisting of a six-cell aeration tank utilizing fine-bubble

diffused air, five secondary clarifiers complete with sludge collecting equipment,

return activated sludge pumping station, waste activated sludge (WAS) dissolved air

flotation thickener (DAF) and equalization tank (from the DAF the thickened WAS is

pumped to the primary digester);

Phosphorus removal by means of dual point chemical (alum) addition;

Effluent disinfection with two banks of UV modules using an actuated weir gate to

control the UV channel levels (flow from the UV system continues to the outfall to

Lake Simcoe);

Sludge treatment by means of anaerobic digestion utilizing a two-stage (primary and

secondary) digester, with floating cover on secondary digester for gas storage, and

dual- fired boilers (excess gas is flared);

Final disposal of digested sludge to agricultural land, with storage available in on-site

sludge lagoons; and

Computerized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.

Page 23

Detailed design is currently on-going for WWTC process optimization and tertiary treatment

upgrades. Upgrades will include: new aeration system and blower building, new secondary

effluent pumping equipment, and a new continuous backwash filter system. It is anticipated that

detailed design and tendering of this project will occur in 2013 with completion of construction

in early 2015.

4.0 FUTURE CONDITIONS

4.1 POPULATION GROWTH

The current annual growth rate (1.0%) and ultimate population growth projections ( persons) are

lower than the 1.5% growth rate and 17,732 person population growth assumed in the Original

Document. The 2009 Water System Master Plan Update assumed a 1.0% annual population

growth rate. Also, the City’s 2011 Official Plan forecasts growth of approximately 11,000 people

by 2031.

According to Statistics Canada’s Census the 2011 population in Orillia was 30,586 persons. The

most recent population projections for the City call for a total population growth of 11,052

persons based on an annual growth rate of 1.0%. The population is expected to increase by about

35% over the next 30-year period from 30,892 in 2012 to over 41,000 by the year 2042. The

projected population in Orillia from 2012 to 2042 is shown in Figure 4-1 and in Table 4-1.

The majority of the population increase will occur in West Orillia where there remains more than

185 hectares of vacant residential land and more than 75 hectares of vacant industrial land. The

Inch Development Area is another large area with approximately 100 hectares (ha) of land

located in the northwest quadrant of the Highway 11 and Highway 12 interchange. Of the 100 ha

of land, about 67 ha is within the City limit and the remaining 33 ha, known as the Area 3

Development, is located in Severn Township. Both of the areas have land that does not require

servicing: a cemetery (9 ha) and stormwater management facility (11 ha) within the City, and a

golf course (10 ha) in Area 3. Approximately 13 ha of vacant commercial and industrial land and

more than 18 ha of vacant residential land remain in the City portion of the Inch Development

Area. The Area 3 Development will consist of about 163 residential units and 5 hectares of

industrial/commercial land, and is not included in the projections of this 2012 Master Plan

Update.

4.2 INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL/INSTITUTIONAL (ICI) GROWTH

Currently the ratio of domestic to ICI (Industrial/Commercial/Institutional) wastewater flow in

Orillia is approximately 1:1. The City anticipates developing/servicing a further 118.99 hectares

of industrial area, 15.57 hectares of commercial area, and 24.23 hectares of institutional area by

the year 2042. Assuming linear growth for industrial development, it is expected to occur at a

rate of approximately 3.97 hectares per year, as shown in Table 4-2. Similarly, commercial

development is also anticipated to occur linearly, at a rate of approximately 0.52 hectares per

year, as shown in Table 4-3. Institutional growth is not linear, with various developments added

into the system at different times. These include Phases 2 and 3 of Lakehead University in 2015

and 2021 respectively, and the Pentecostal Church in about 2016, all shown in Table 4-4.

4.3 WASTEWATER FLOW PROJECTIONS

The average daily wastewater flow received at the Wastewater Treatment Centre in the 5-year

period from 2007 to 2011, inclusive of extraneous flows, was 17,880 m3/d.

The trend has continued to be toward a decrease in per capita and per hectare wastewater flows

since the introduction of the City’s Enviro-Save Program in 1990 and Water Efficiency

Program in 1998. Therefore, for the purpose of this Master Plan Update it is logical to use

actual flows for the existing residences, industries, etc., instead of the rates established in the

MOE Guidelines. The design average day flow rates established in the City of Orillia based on

actual flows are as follows (Copy of Report to the Council Committee No. PD-02-038 on April

14, 2003 in Appendix E):

Domestic - 0.3 m3/c.d

Industrial - 36.0 m3/ha.d

Commercial - 28.0 m3/ha.d

Institutional - 63 m3/d total (Pentecostal Church)

(max day) - 533 m3/d total (Lakehead University)

As in the Original Document, a factor has also been added for re-urbanization of existing

development, equal to 5% of the existing 5-year average flow.

Based on the above design (for growth) and actual (for existing development) flow rates the total

average day flow of 26,457 m3/d for ultimate development is comprised of (see Table 4-5):

16,977 m3/d existing 5-year average

3,315 m3/d future domestic flow

4,284 m3/d future industrial flow

436 m3/d future commercial flow

596 m3/d future institutional flow

849 m3/d allowance for re-urbanization of existing development

An allowance for the Severn Township subdivision adjacent to the proposed Inch subdivision is

not included in the current flow projections because the project does not have a timeline.

4.4 PREDICTED WWTC EFFLUENT REQUIREMENTS

Based on the existing WWTC effluent criteria, as well as the rationale for criteria established for

the Barrie and Innisfil plant expansions, it is anticipated that future effluent maximum

concentrations for any expansion of capacity of the WWTC will remain as follows:

Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) 15 mg/L (10 mg/L objective)

Suspended Solids (SS) 15 mg/L

Total Phosphorus (TP) 0.1 mg/L and 996 kg per year

It is important to note that there are no specific Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQO's)

for BOD5 and SS. However, it is expected that maximum allowable concentrations will be

maintained at current Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) levels.

The Original Document anticipated that the maximum allowable TP loading would be

maintained at the current Environmental Compliance Approval level, or may even be decreased.

Also, it was expected that any increase in design capacity will have to be accompanied by a

corresponding decrease in TP concentration in order to maintain the required loading per year.

Since that time, the Lake Simcoe Phosphorus Reduction Strategy (2010) has come into effect,

requiring the Orillia WWTC to meet the more stringent phosphorus concentration and total

loading limits above by June 2015. Under long term actions for Sewage Treatment Plants, the

Phosphorus Reduction Strategy recognizes that, given the currently available technology, further

reductions would be costly and difficult. It states that: “The requirement for further incremental

reductions will be re-evaluated in 2015 during the first review of the Strategy.”

The MOE has also indicated that, although the current ECA does not contain any effluent total

ammonia nitrogen (TAN) limits, effluent TAN objectives will be included in the ECA for the

upgraded facility. It is expected that the seasonal TAN objectives will be 13.0 mg/L in the

summer and 17.0 mg/L in the winter.

In the Original Document, it was also anticipated that there would be a restriction on the effluent

residual chlorine concentration in the order of 0.02 mg/L. Since that time the chlorine

disinfection process has been replaced with an ultraviolet disinfection facility which satisfies the

residual chlorine requirements set out by Environment Canada.

4.5 PREDICTED FUTURE BIOSOLIDS MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The digested biosolids from the WWTC meet all the criteria for disposal by means of application

on agricultural land, during the seasons when the ground is not frozen. The WWTC has six

biosolids storage lagoons for use during the period when land spreading is not permitted. The

projected volume of biosolids is 36,950 m3/yr generated at the rated average daily flow of

27,300 m3/d, which is not anticipated to be reached until after 2042. These projections include

the implementation of the Dissolve Air Flotation (DAF) thickening process for waste activated

sludge (WAS) completed by the City in 2004/2005.

The Ontario Nutrient Management Act, passed in June 2002 (amended January 2010) and its

first set of regulations enacted in September 2003 (O.Reg. 267/03 amended September 2012),

prohibit:

Page 33

Land application of sewage biosolids during the period beginning December 1st of

one year and ending on March 31st of the following year regardless of field or

weather conditions; and

Land application of sewage biosolids on snow covered or frozen soil at any time.

The Original Document anticipated that Orillia’s WWTC would be required to have a biosolids

management plan including provision for at least 180 days of storage, whether on-site or at an

area facility which could accommodate digested biosolids from a number of municipalities.

Development of a long-term biosolids management strategy and implementation plan was

identified as a priority in the Original Document.

Amendments to the General Nutrient Management Regulation (O.Reg. 267/03) in 2009 have

since changed the biosolids management requirements for Orillia’s WWTC:

Preparation of a Nutrient Management Strategy is no longer required;

Generation of biosolids continue to be subject to applicable approval requirements

under the Environmental Protection Act and Ontario Water Resources Act; and

Provision for 240 days of biosolids storage is recommended as a best practice but is

no longer a requirement.

5.0 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

5.1 GENERAL

The Original Document was initiated to develop a strategy for providing a sustainable

wastewater system for existing and future growth and development areas in Orillia. This

involved an analysis of the limitations and problems associated with the existing system, and

remedial measures to reduce per capita and extraneous flows were discussed.

The main problems for consideration were identified in the Original Document, and remain the

focus of the 2012 Master Plan Update:

Infiltration and inflow

Condition and age of existing sewers

Limited capacities of existing trunk sewers

Limited capacities of existing sewage pumping stations

Limited capacity of the existing Wastewater Treatment Centre (WWTC)

Operational issues with the unit processes at the WWTC

Quantity and quality of Septage received at the WWTC

YEAR

FIGURE 5-1METERED vs PUMPED vs TREATED vs POPULATION

1992 to 2011

METERED WATER PUMPED WATER TREATED SEWAGE POPULATION

Page 35

The amount of sewage treated at the WWTC annually has typically averaged around 30% more

than the water pumped into the distribution system from the Water Filtration Plant (WFP), as

illustrated in Figure 5-1. This large difference in flows indicates that inflow and infiltration

contribute significant flows within the collection system.

The Original Document identified a number of programs successfully implemented by the City

to reduce wastewater flows. These included the Water Efficiency Program and the Enviro-Save

Program, introduced in 1998 and 1990 respectively. Following its 1989 infiltration/inflow study,

the City commenced the Enviro-Save program: a remedial program including disconnection of

eaves troughs/downspouts, sump pumps, and weeping tiles/foundation drains.

The Ontario Building Code was updated in 1996 to require the installation of ultra-low flush

toilets and other water saving devices in new house construction. As part of the Water

Efficiency Program, the City implemented a Water Fixture Replacement Program that was in

place from 1999 until September 2007 that provided residents with a rebate for replacing:

13 to 20 litre toilets with ultra-low flush toilets (6L)

showerheads with low flow showerheads

faucets with faucet aerators

top-loading washing machines with front-loading washing machines

About 2,075 households participated in the program, with 1,021 toilets replaced, 292

showerheads replaced, 118 faucet aerators installed and 1,383 washing machines replaced. This

has resulted in an estimated reduction of about 6 litres per capita per day.

An Outdoor Water Restriction by-law has been in place since 1992. This was revised in 2008 to

include time allotments and restrict outdoor water use year round.

Water and sewer rates have changed annually since 2003 to better reflect full system costs to

provide services. Sewer use rates have increased significantly, from $0.54 per m3 in 2004 to

$1.17 per m3 in 2012.

Other techniques for reducing water consumption have also been implemented, including:

In-school Education – since 1997 about 7,500 students have been instructed in the

importance of using water wisely.

General Public Information – flyers, bill stuffers, and newspaper advertisements have

been distributed to increase public awareness about water and sewer use, as well as

posting information on the City website

Rain Barrel Program – over 1700 rain barrels have been purchased and are in use

throughout the City

Overall these programs have been successful in reducing water consumption in the City which,

in turn, helps to reduce wastewater flows. There has been a fairly consistent reduction in the

average daily flow per capita treated at the WWTC over the past number of years. However, the

reduction of inflow and infiltration is also an important measure to reduce wastewater flows.

Page 36

In order to assess the capabilities of the existing wastewater collection system, a computer

generated hydraulic model of the system was produced using the Hydra software program. This

model was developed by updating the Hydra model completed for the Original Document, and

analyses the existing system under both current and future flow conditions. A report of the

results of the analysis is included in Appendix C.

5.2 INFILTRATION AND INFLOW

Although at present the WWTC is operating below its capacity, flow measurements over the past

ten years demonstrate that flows to the WWTC have been on average 36% higher than metered

water consumption (excludes WFP backwash flows and flows from the septage receival facility

from flows to the WWTC). Excess inflow and infiltration of water into the sanitary sewer system

reduces system capacity and increases pumping costs, and has the potential to flood basements

and cause manholes to overflow during wet weather. Sanitary sewer overflows can occur

throughout the system at manholes if the sewers lack the capacity to handle flows, or due to tree

roots or other blockages in the sewers. The incidence and frequency of sanitary sewer overflows

can present a public health hazard and can be a threat to receiving water quality.

In the Original Document, a preliminary analysis was presented to determine areas of highest

inflow and infiltration. Pump hour meter records for the City’s sewage pumping stations were

reviewed and compared for dry and wet periods. The areas whose pumping stations experienced

a significant increase in pumping during wet weather were identified as areas with high inflow

and infiltration. The sanitary sewers upstream of the following five sewage pumping stations

were identified as allowing a higher amount of inflow and infiltration: Couchiching Park (SPS

No. 3), Elgin Street at Scott Street (SPS No. 4), Forest Avenue South (SPS No. 16), Collins

Drive at MacIssac Drive (SPS No. 17), and Westmount Drive South (SPS No. 22) (refer to

Figure 5-2).

The Infiltration and Inflow Study (February 2005) identified the central part of the City as

having the most infiltration and inflows, and recommended an integrated approach to deal with

the problem. In October 2005 the Inflow/Infiltration Status Report further prioritized areas to

target for smoke testing, manhole and sewer rehabilitations, CCTV inspections, and flow

monitoring. This report also advocated for a public education program on the benefits of

reducing inflow and infiltration.

The May 2007 report: “Eliminating Inflow/Infiltration Implementation Program” provided an

updated analysis of Flo-tote data, CCTV inspections, storm drainage issues, maintenance hole

inspections, and the sewer replacement program. This report identified four sewage pumping

stations that pump more often than required: Bayview Parkway (SPS No. 2), Couchiching Point

(SPS No. 5), West Street South at Shannon Street (SPS No. 11), and Forest Avenue South (SPS

No. 16). Priority actions were outlined for each sewage pumping station drainage area, a work

plan was proposed for 2007, and an annual program to reduce inflow and infiltration was

recommended. Work completed to date includes:

Inspection of 1551 and rehabilitation of 156 maintenance holes;

Smoke testing of some areas of Franklin Street, Crawford Street, Hida Street, Oxford

Street, Delia Street, Bayview Parkway, and Forest Avenue;

Inspection and rehabilitation of some of the sanitary sewer laterals identified by smoke

testing.

5.3 CONDITION AND AGE OF EXISTING SEWERS

Current technology allows for the televising of underground piping to determine its condition.

Closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections of the existing sanitary sewer system have

continued to be completed annually since 1995. To date about 95% of the 163 km collection

system has been inspected. Each section of pipe televised is inspected and given an overall

condition index (OCI) rating. The OCI is a summary of the total frequency of deficiencies in a

section of sanitary pipe (between maintenance holes) with a weighting factor applied to amplify

the deficiencies that are more significant. The weighting factors applied for the various

deficiencies are as follows:

Collapse Light (4) Heavy (8)

Break Light (2) Heavy (4)

Crack Light (1) Heavy (2)

Infiltration Light (4) Heavy (8)

Roots Light (4) Heavy (8)

Ponding Light (1) Heavy (2)

Calcite Light (1) Heavy (2)

Based on the above criteria, the sanitary collection system condition was found to be as follows:

47.4% (77.2 km) in good condition (OCI between 0-25)

34.6% (56.5 km) are new or have been replaced over the past 30 years

1.8% (3.0 km) requires replacement within the next 3 years (OCI >90)

5.2% (8.5 km) requires replacement within the next 10 years (OCI between 45-90)

6.1% (10.0 km) requires replacement within the next 20 years (OCI between 25-45)

4.8% (7.9 km) require CCTV inspection

Figure 5-3 shows the sections of sewer requiring replacement based on the OCI number over the

next 20 years, as summarized in Table 5-2.

5.4 CAPACITIES OF EXISTING TRUNK SEWERS

Based on the results of the 2012 sanitary sewer computer simulation model runs on the existing

system, the trunk sewers generally appear capable of handling the peak flows generated by the

existing population and some infilling of the existing developed area. However, for future

projected flows, it does appear that trunk sewer capacity will be a problem in some locations,

depending on future development and where the wastewater is discharged into the existing trunk

sewers. A detailed analysis can be found in the 2012 computer model update report in Appendix

G. The Original Document indicated a 2003 study which identified that the CNR trunk sewer

capacity needs to be increased from south of maintenance hole #60 to accommodate future

flows. The 2012 computer model analysis also identified this need – in particular between

maintenance holes #35 and #30. Also identified for needed capacity increase by the computer

model, was a section of the trunk sewer along Fittons Road East between maintenance holes

#1346 and #1344.

5.5 CAPACITIES OF EXISTING SEWAGE PUMP STATIONS

The 2012 Hydra computer model shows that all twenty (20) existing sewage pumping stations

(SPS) are capable of handling peak flows generated by the existing population. However, SPS 10

Victoria Crescent was found to require upgrading to accommodate future flows in the Victoria

Point area.

5.6 CAPACITY OF EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT CENTRE

Based on its most recent Environmental Compliance Approval, the WWTC is currently sized to

accommodate an average day flow of 27,300 m3/d and a process peak flow of 72,700 m

3/d.

Hydraulically, the plant is capable of accepting flows up to 109,000 m3/d, which is the current

peak capacity of the James Street Pumping Station. However, flows in excess of 72,700 m3/d

would by-pass the secondary treatment process units and discharge to Ben’s Ditch following

primary treatment and disinfection.

At present, the plant is operating below its capacity, and within the Environmental Compliance

Approval effluent compliance requirements of BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand) ≤ 15 mg/L,

TSS (total suspended solids) ≤ 15 mg/L, and TP (total phosphorus) ≤ 0.3 mg/L (less than 2,993

kg/year).

The WWTC was designed to the latest MOE standards and hence it is anticipated that the plant

will continue to perform within its required limits once it reaches capacity. Therefore, the

WWTC has sufficient capacity to accommodate growth to beyond the horizon of this update

report of 2042, as show in Figure 5-4. However, the projected flows and the need for future

capacity expansion will be reviewed when this Master Plan is updated in about 5 years’ time.

The Original Document also noted that, as extraneous flows into the collection system continue

to decline, BOD5, TSS, TP and ammonia concentrations in the raw sewage will increase, and

could conceivably present operational difficulties as the plant nears its hydraulic capacity.

However it was also noted that, in general, the plant is hydraulically and not organically limited

in capacity and can therefore accommodate design flows with higher influent concentrations. In

Figure 5-4PROJECTED WASTEWATER FLOWS

PROJECTED GROWTH EXISTING WWTC CAPACITY 27,300 cu.m.

5.7 QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SEPTAGE RECEIVED AT THE WWTC

Septage from sources such as private sewage treatment systems servicing holiday resorts and

camps, portable toilets and recreational vehicles is removed by private haulers using tanker

trucks, and used to be brought to the WWTC for treatment and disposal. It is now brought to the

septage and hauled sewage receiving station located at the James Street West SPS. In 2003 about

11,000 m3 of septage was received at the WWTC, and in 2011 about 20,000 m

3 was received at

the new septage receiving station. The Original Document anticipated an increase in the quantity

of septage received due to the banning of land application of untreated septage by the Ontario

MOE. The quantity of septage received amounts to approximately 0.3% of total wastewater

flows to the WWTC and is not anticipated to have a significant impact on future capacity.

The Original Document also raised concerns with the quality of septage being received. It was

suspected that the presence of rags and other extraneous matter in various components of the

WWTC, associated with certain operational problems, were from the septage received at the

WWTC. The construction of the septage receiving facility at the James Street SPS in 2006 has

addressed these problems. In addition, BOD and TSS concentrations of septage being brought in

were found to be significantly higher than average raw sewage concentrations.

Page 40

5.8 BIOSOLIDS MANAGEMENT

The WWTC continues to have adequate biosolids digestion and storage capacity for the existing

population, but will be stressed when the plant exceeds its rated hydraulic capacity. Odour

complaints about the biosolids storage lagoons continue to be addressed by contract with a

private biosolids hauling company, who haul the biosolids off-site from the lagoons to MOE-

approved locations for land application.

The Ontario Nutrient Management Act restricts land application of biosolids such that:

Land application of sewage biosolids from December 1st

to March 31st is banned; and

Sewage biosolids application where the soil is snow covered or frozen is banned entirely.

The Original Document identified that adequate biosolids storage facilities will be required due

to land application restrictions. It may not be economically feasible for the City to continue to

manage its treated biosolids as it does today, and other sustainable biosolids management

alternatives may have to be investigated in the future.

5.9 OPERATIONAL ISSUES WITH THE UNIT PROCESSES AND OPERATIONS

AT THE WWTC

The Original Document identified several operational issues with the unit processes and

operations at the WWTC. These included issues with: grit removal and screening process,

receiving of hauled sewage at the WWTC, primary treatment equipment, and operation of the

digesters. Several projects have been undertaken to address these issues, and these are outlined in

Section 8.0. Current operational issues at the WWTC have also been identified.

The two manually raked bar screens in the WWTC Primary Building require raking and removal

of debris twice a day. Following weekends, debris has often completely filled the screens and

unscreened sewage bypasses directly to the primary clarifiers. This puts downstream equipment

at risk of damage or failure. Long weekends or high-flow events require operators to be made

available to attend to the manual screens to avoid overflows.

The total capacity of the lagoons is diminishing with time due to settling of solids. In addition,

one of the lagoons is suspected of leakage and is therefore not used. This reduces the available

capacity by about 36%. Cleaning out of the lagoons and rehabilitation of their lining would

restore capacity and lining integrity.

Monitoring and control of most sewage pumping stations is achieved via the SCADA system at

the WWTC and via radio frequency (RF) communication between the pumping stations and

WWTC. However, not all stations are equipped with RF capability or full SCADA capability.

For some stations, monitoring can only be completed by visiting the station on a regular basis.

For other stations, monitoring and control is not as reliable as it should be, and periodic visits to

the station are sometimes necessary.

Page 41

5.10 TREATED EFFLUENT DISCHARGE QUALITY STANDARDS

The WWTC discharges its effluent via Ben's Ditch into the north end of Lake Simcoe which,

through Lake Couchiching and the Severn River, ultimately feeds Severn Sound and the Midland

Harbour. The MOE considers Lake Simcoe to be excessively rich in nutrients. As well, the

Midland Harbour and Severn Sound have been designated by the International Joint Commission

as one of 42 Areas of Concern on the Great Lakes system. Therefore, the Original Document

speculated that the MOE would likely require any expansion in treatment capacity to be

accompanied by an upgrading of the treatment processes, to ensure that the environmental

impacts are mitigated as much as possible.

In particular, the Original Document anticipated that a future expansion of the Orillia WWTC

capacity may require more comprehensive treatment for enhanced phosphorus removal and,

possibly, ammonia and chlorine removal. This was based on the latest approved expansion

proposals for the Innisfil, Barrie, and Midland Water Pollution Control Plants. Since that time

the Lake Simcoe Protection Act has come into effect resulting in new phosphorus compliance

limits for the Orillia WWTC by June 2015. In order to meet this deadline, the City has

undertaken a project to add tertiary treatment to the WWTC.

The Original Document noted that for the time period 1991 to 2003, the annual average

phosphorus concentration in the treated effluent was 0.16 mg/L and the average annual flow was

5,873,435 m3/yr, or a Total Phosphorus (TP) load to Lake Simcoe of 0.94 tonnes per year on

average. For the time period 2004 to 2011, the average annual phosphorus concentration has

remained at 0.16 mg/L and the average annual flow is slightly higher at 6,308,934 m3/yr, giving

an average TP load of 1.01 tonnes per year. Projected wastewater flows have been reduced to

about 27,000 m3/d which translates into a TP load of 1.58 tonnes per year based on an average

phosphorus concentration of 0.16 mg/L. However, the current ECA indicates that the Orillia

WWTC will be required to meet phosphorus limits of 0.1 mg/L and 996 kg/yr as of June 2015.

PHASE 2: ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Page 43

6.0 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

The Original Document identified the following alternatives to be considered as possible

solutions to address the wastewater system problems in Orillia:

6.1 GENERAL ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Do Nothing – Limit Community Growth

Based on existing flows, the WWTC is at approximately 62% capacity and is currently not

expected to reach its capacity in the next 30 years or at ultimate development. However,

wastewater collection system limitations would still require development in Orillia to be

curtailed if the “do nothing” solution was adopted.

6.2 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR WASTEWATER COLLECTION

Identify Zones and Reduce High Inflow and Infiltration. Upgrade/Extend Existing System

to Accommodate Development

This alternative included:

Identifying and reducing areas of high inflow and infiltration to reduce excess flow and

free up capacity in the wastewater collection system to postpone the need for expansion.

Upgrading of the existing system to eliminate bottlenecks and replacement of some major

trunk sewers with larger capacity pipes.

Extension of the collection system to service West Orillia and Victoria Point.

An updated preliminary estimate suggests approximately $18 to $22 million would be required.

Identify Zones and Reduce High Inflow and Infiltration. Provide Independent System for

West Orillia and Victoria Point

This alternative included:

Identifying and reducing areas of high inflow and infiltration to reduce excess flow and

free up capacity in the wastewater collection system to postpone the need for expansion.

Upgrading of the existing system to eliminate bottlenecks and replacement of some major

trunk sewers with larger capacity pipes.

Constructing completely independent wastewater collection systems for West Orillia and

Victoria Point.


6.3 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Expand Capacity of Existing Plant

Expansion of the existing plant is likely the most cost effective means of providing additional

treatment capacity. Land acquisition would not be necessary as there is ample land available at

the existing site, located in a non-residential area.

Page 44

The additional volume of effluent associated with an expansion of the existing capacity would

likely require upgrading the treatment capability, and possibly an outfall directly into Lake

Simcoe (or Lake Couchiching) for the expanded plant, rather than to Lake Simcoe via Ben’s

Ditch.

Prior to an expansion of the WWTC, an optimization study should be undertaken to ensure that

the plant is operating at its maximum possible efficiency. In addition, a sludge management

study should be undertaken to identify the best means to treat, store and dispose of sludge

generated at the WWTC.


Provide Individual Private Treatment Systems for New Properties

The majority of existing households, industries, and commercial establishments in Orillia are

currently connected to the municipal wastewater collection system. It is very unlikely that

development in Orillia would be permitted based on sanitary servicing by septic systems.

Applications for development approval based on septic systems would be subject to area specific

policy provisions in the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-Law.

As a general rule, MOE prefers development to occur in areas serviced by communal wastewater

collection and treatment systems. The use of septic systems can lead to contamination of aquifers

and is generally discouraged. Developments serviced by septic systems in conjunction with the

under-utilization of existing municipal systems is not encouraged. Appendix H contains a copy

of the MOE Guidelines on Planning for Sewage and Water Services which documents the

Ministry’s position on development serviced by septic systems.

It is noted that there would be no capital cost to the City for this alternative, as the entire cost

would be borne by the owners.

Provide Independent Communal Treatment Systems for Victoria Point and for West

Orillia Lands

This alternative would involve construction of two new treatment facilities to accommodate

wastewater flows generated from existing and new development in Victoria Point and West

Orillia. Considerable land acquisition and/or easements would be required, and this alternative

would be considerably less cost-effective than expanding the treatment capacity on the existing

site. An updated preliminary estimate suggests approximately $75 to $90 million would be

required.

Provide a New Treatment Facility for the Whole City

This alternative would involve: decommissioning of the current sewage treatment facility,

identifying an appropriate new site, and construction of a new facility to accommodate flows

from all existing and new development. An updated preliminary estimate suggests approximately

$100 to $125 million would be required.

Page 45

Install a New Treatment Facility, Employ a Large Pipeline to Interconnect the Sewage

Systems of Orillia and Neighbouring Municipalities, and Discharge Treated Effluent to a

Large Water Body

This alternative would involve: identifying a site, construction of a new treatment facility to

service Orillia and other municipalities, construction of pumping stations and large dual

transmission pipes, and construction of dual “feeder” mains from Orillia to the transmission

pipes. An updated preliminary estimate suggests that in excess of $0.8 billion would be required.

6.4 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR BIOSOLIDS MANAGEMENT

Continue/Expand Application of Digested Sludge (Biosolids) to Agricultural Land

This alternative would involve:

Identifying new agricultural land for biosolids application;

Improving the storage capacity of the lagoons;

Increasing the digester capacity.


Dispose of De-watered Sludge to Waste Diversion Site


Construction of dewatering equipment;

MOE approval to use the City Waste Diversion Site.


Thermally Process/Incinerate Sludge

This alternative would involve construction of a modern incinerator. An updated preliminary

estimate suggests approximately $15 to $20 million would be required.

Convert Sludge to Pellets for Use as Soil Conditioner and/or Fuel

This alternative would involve construction of dewatering equipment, furnaces/kilns and

dryer/pelletizer. An updated preliminary estimate suggests approximately $4 to $6 million would

be required.

6.5 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR EFFLUENT DISPOSAL

Partially Utilize Treated Sewage Effluent for Landscape Irrigation


Irrigation of parks, golf courses and playing fields with treated sewage effluent;

Construction of effluent storage lagoons;

Construction of irrigation systems where needed.


Page 46

Provide Tertiary and Advanced Treatment Processes to Produce High Quality Effluent

This alternative includes the upgrade to UV disinfection at the WWTC, now complete, as well as

the Tertiary Treatment upgrade project currently underway. Estimated costs to complete the

Tertiary Treatment upgrade project is $15 million.

Detailed descriptions as well as advantages and disadvantages considered for these alternative

solutions can be found in Section 6.0 of the Original Document.

These alternatives have been reviewed and were found to be adequate, therefore no new

alternatives were addressed.

Page 47

7.0 ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVES

Based on public consultation, the Original Document indicated that the preferred alternatives

should accomplish the following goals and objectives:

Further growth within the City of Orillia service area;

No increase in nutrient loading into Lake Simcoe or Lake Couchiching over existing

limits;

Minimize capital, operating, and maintenance costs;

Continue to allow for the simplified management of the wastewater system by a

single operating authority;

Have little, if any, impact on the environment.

An inventory of the environmental effects and socio-economic impacts of each alternative was

used to assess and select the preferred solutions. This inventory is contained in Appendix B of

the Original Document.

7.1 ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL ALTERNATIVES

The Original Document noted that the “Do Nothing” alternative would not meet the expressed

goals and objectives, as the current programs could not be expected to reduce wastewater flows

to the extent required.

7.2 ASSESSMENT OF COLLECTION SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES

Based on analysis completed in earlier sections and computer modelling completed, the Original

Document identified the following wastewater collection system alternative as one that would

satisfy the expressed goals and objectives and therefore warranted further consideration:

Identify Zones and Reduce High Inflow and Infiltration. Upgrade/Extend Existing

System to Accommodate Development

The second collection system alternative was eliminated from consideration. Since that time

work has proceeded to extend the existing system to the West Orillia and Victoria Point areas,

including construction of the new Champlain Sewage Pumping Station in West Orillia.

7.3 ASSESSMENT OF TREATMENT SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES

Based on the foregoing, the Original Document identified that the only wastewater treatment

alternative that warranted further consideration and that would accomplish the expressed goals

and objectives is:


The other four treatment system alternatives were eliminated from further consideration. It is

noted that current wastewater flow projections are not anticipated to reach plant capacity until

beyond the horizon of this update report of 2042.

Page 48

7.4 ASSESSMENT OF BIOSOLIDS MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES

Based on analysis completed in earlier sections, the Original Document identified two out of four

biosolids management alternatives that warranted further consideration and that would

accomplish the expressed goals and objectives:

Continue/Expand Application of Digested Sludge (Biosolids) to Agricultural Land


The other two alternatives were eliminated from further consideration for reasons that included:

high capital costs, large public opposition, and ongoing operational costs.

7.5 ASSESSMENT OF EFFLUENT DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES

The Original Document identified one effluent management alternative that warranted further

consideration and that would accomplish the expressed goals and objectives:

Provide Tertiary and Advanced Treatment Processes to Produce High Quality

Effluent

The other alternative was eliminated from further consideration as minimal use of landscape

irrigation within the City made this alternative unfeasible.

The alternatives warranting further consideration are examined in detail in the next Section.

Page 49

8.0 SELECTION OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES

The following alternatives were selected as the preferred solutions in the Original Document:

Wastewater Collection

Identify Zones and Reduce High Inflow and Infiltration. Upgrade/Extend Existing

System to Accommodate Development

Wastewater Treatment


Biosolids Management

Continue/Expand Application of Digested Sludge (Biosolids) to Agricultural

Land


Effluent Disposal

Provide Tertiary and Advanced Treatment Processes to Produce High Quality

Effluent

In general, the preferred alternatives have been or are in the process of being implemented. Due

to slower projected growth rates, expansion of the plant capacity can be deferred significantly.

While the application of biosolids to agricultural land is now more tightly regulated under the

Nutrient Management Act, the practice continues to be permitted. On average about 29,000 m3

of biosolids are applied to MOE approved sites at an annual cost of $265,000.

Since 2004 the following projects have been completed or are underway, and which continue to

provide more information to evaluate the preferred alternatives identified in the Original

Document:

Wastewater Collection System Projects:

CNR Trunk Sewer Upgrades

o Two projects were completed – one in 2004 and one in 2006 – to upgrade a

portion of the CNR trunk sewer from Colborne Street north to Mississaga Street.

Larger diameter pipe was installed in order to accommodate future wastewater

flows.

James Street Sewage Pumping Station Screening System with Grinder, Auger and

Conveyor

o Existing mechanical bar screening equipment and grinder were replaced with two

new channel grinding units, to address downstream problems associated with rags

and other extraneous matter escaping the screens. This project included:

modification of the concrete and floor grating, installation of hoists for removing

Page 50

the units from the channel for service and repair, and instrumentation and control

linked to the existing SCADA system. This project was completed in 2005.

Standby Power for James Street Sewage Pumping Station

o Installation of a new standby diesel generator in 2009 to provide emergency

power for the entire James Street West SPS and avoid problems that may occur

during a prolonged power outage. Removal of the existing diesel standby engine

for pump #2 was also completed.

Rehabilitation of Sewage Pumping Stations

o Champlain SPS #23. A permanent Champlain SPS was built in 2010/2011 to

accommodate new development in West Orillia. This station is a dry well / wet

well type pumping station and has three submersible dry pit installed sewage

pumps, a channel grinder unit and by-pass manual bar screen, and a standby

diesel generator. The station discharges to Maintenance Hole 1600 at the end of

Woodside Drive via twin 150 mm and 300 mm force mains that are 500 m long.

o Bayview Parkway SPS #2. The pumps were replaced with new in 2006 and the

standby generator and electrical controls were replaced in 2008.

o Couchiching Point SPS #5. This station was replaced in 2007 with a new Flygt

submersible station with two model NP3127 pumps, new above ground

electrical/control cabinet, radio communication capability with the WWTC, and

receptacle for portable generator connection.

o Bridget/Maple SPS #13. This station was converted to a submersible station in

2009 with two Flygt NP3153HT pumps, new above ground electrical/control

cabinet, and receptacle for portable generator connection.

o Fittons Road West SPS #18. In 2012 this SPS is being upgraded with a new

SCADA-enabled PLC control panel, three new variable frequency drives, reactors

and motors, ultrasonic level monitoring, and Radio Frequency communication

with the WWTC.

o John Street SPS #19. In 2013 this station is to be converted to a submersible

station with two Flygt CP3201HT pumps, new above ground electrical/control

cabinet, radio communication capability with the WWTC, and receptacle for

portable generator connection.

West Orillia Sewage Servicing

o A Routing Study was completed in 2005 to determine the best possible solution

for servicing new development in West Orillia. A revised Routing Study was

completed in 2008 due to concerns raised during the earlier work, changes in land

availability, and the inclusion of service area to the East of Highway 11.

An Evaluation of Nutrients and Chemical Pollutants in Sanitary Sewer System

Wastewater Treatment Projects:

WWTC Primary Clarifier Upgrades and Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) Thickening

o Primary clarifiers #1 & #2 failed in 1999 and 1996 respectively. In 2004/2005

clarifier #1 was filled and #2 was converted to an equalization tank for a new

dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit. The DAF unit is designed to a feed flow rate of

88 – 200 m3/d, with a pressurization system designed for a flow rate of 545 m

3/d.

Waste Activated Sludges are redirected to the DAF unit instead of the primary

clarifiers, where they are thickened and pumped to the primary digester. Primary

clarifier #3 was retrofitted to a round clarifier 18.3 m diameter after being taken

Page 51

out of service in the spring of 2003. This retrofit included benching of corners and

installation of a new 18.3 m Cage Drive Scraper Clarifier Mechanism.

Septage/Hauled Sewage Receiving Facility at James Street Sewage Pumping Station

o A 90 m3/hr septage and hauled sewage receiving station was constructed at the

James Street West SPS in 2006 to eliminate problems associated with receiving

septage at the WWTC. This system has a peak flow capacity of 90 m3/hour and

discharges to the pumping station inlet channel through a 250 mm outlet pipe,

equipped with a knife gate valve. A second 250 mm knife gate valve and blind

flanged pipe was provided for connection to a future equalization tank. Electronic

monitoring and control through a PLC is connected to the existing SCADA at the

Wastewater Treatment Centre via Ethernet.

WWTC Boiler Control Panel

o A project was undertaken to optimize the operation of the dual gas boiler system

at the Wastewater Treatment Centre in 2005/2006. This involved troubleshooting

the existing boiler, checking all settings, evaluating performance and determining

SCADA control and monitoring for the system. Flow meters were installed on the

gas train and pressure switch settings optimized.

Standby Power and Electrical Upgrades for WWTC

o A new 800kW/1000kVA standby generator was installed on a concrete pad along

the western perimeter of the WWTC property in 2010/2011, adjacent to an

existing 44 kV hydro transformer substation. This unit was sized to run the entire

plant during power outages and interruptions and is controlled and monitored

through the SCADA system.

WWTC Process Optimization and Tertiary Treatment for Nutrient Removal

o A process optimization study has been completed and design is proceeding for a

tertiary treatment upgrade for nutrient removal (phosphorus). The upgrade will

include replacement of the existing aeration blower building and construction of a

secondary effluent pumping station in the old chlorination building. Pre-selection

of major equipment is complete, detailed design is underway and construction is

anticipated to commence in 2013.

UV Disinfection of WWTC Effluent

o Implementation of an ultraviolet disinfection system was initiated in 2007/2008 to

comply with Environment Canada’s December 2004 Final Notice requiring

implementation of a pollution prevention plan for wastewater systems where

chlorine residual in the effluent exceeded 0.02 mg/L. The UV system was

provided with an operator interface for control and monitoring, and is pace

controlled based on contact chamber weir flow. The system is monitored by the

existing PLC in the Chlorine Building basement and data is transmitted over a

new Fibre Optic/Ethernet Cabling network to the SCADA system located in the

Administration Building.

Nutrient Management Strategy for WWTC

o A Nutrient Management Strategy (NMS) was prepared for the Orillia WWTC in

2009 according to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs

(OMAFRA) NMS report template. It is noted that the NMS report was not

submitted to the Ministry, due to regulation changes that occurred during its

preparation.

Page 52

9.0 PUBLIC AND REVIEW AGENCY COMMENTS An extensive public and review agency consultation process was followed during the preparation of the Original Document, summarized as follows:

10.0 GENERAL SUMMARY AND REQUIREMENTS

10.1 PROPOSED SERVICE AREA

The proposed service area for ultimate development is defined by the existing municipal

boundary, as shown in Figure 3-1. A broad consideration has been given to the possibility of

adjacent communities connecting into the system.

10.2 PROPOSED WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM

The proposed wastewater collection system expansion over the next 20 years is summarized as

follows:

1. Replace existing trunk sewers with larger pipes at the locations shown on Figure 10-1.

2. Upgrade Victoria Crescent SPS #10 to accommodate future development, as shown on

Figure 10-1.

3. Provide new trunk sewers and pumping stations throughout West Orillia, locations and

sizes to be determined as required by development.

4. Expand the existing wastewater collection system to service the Inch development,

locations and sizes to be determined as required by development.

10.3 PROPOSED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

There are no wastewater treatment system expansions proposed over the next 20 years.

10.4 PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS

The Original Document recommended that developers provide land for utility requirements. It

has been established as routine procedure in all agreements for the developer to provide

easements, right-of-ways and road widenings as required for pumping stations, forcemains, trunk

sewers, etc.

10.5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

The various projects will have a measureable positive impact on the environment relative to the

current situation. The environmental benefits of the projects are summarized as follows:

Positive Impacts:

1. Accommodate new and existing development in Orillia.

2. Reduce hydraulic limitations.

3. Positive socio-economic impact on the Orillia population.

There are also two negative environmental impacts, namely:

Negative Impacts:

1. Create a temporary nuisance during construction.

2. Require property that could otherwise be used for other purposes.

It should be emphasized that the first negative impact would occur temporarily and during

construction only, and will no longer be applicable once the various works are completed.

Overall it is evident that the significant permanent environmental benefits greatly outweigh the

potential temporary nuisance during construction and any loss of land for new facilities.

10.6 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CATEGORIES OF PROPOSED PROJECTS

Planning for the 2012 Master Plan Update followed the Municipal Engineers Association Class

Environmental Assessment (2007) process, and thereby satisfied the Phase 1 and 2 requirements

with respect to public and agency notification and involvement. This means that all works

identified in the 2012 Master Plan Update are categorized as one of the following:

Schedule A/A+ and can now proceed to implementation without further public or agency

notification

Schedule B and require a Notice of Completion for each specific project

Schedule C and would require completion of Phases 3, 4 and 5 as well as additional

public contact and completion of an Environmental Study Report. Only the expansion of

the Wastewater Treatment Centre would be a Schedule C project.

Page 55

11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

11.1 GENERAL

The following is a detailed description of recommended wastewater collection and treatment

projects, including their rationale, to be carried out by the City over the next 20 years to

accommodate ultimate development. The recommended projects also include programs to reduce

extraneous flows, studies to improve monitoring, efficiency, reliability, etc., and allowances for

major rehabilitation works to preserve the integrity of the existing system.

The recommended projects are an evolution of the works outlined in the Original Document.

Much of the work recommended in that document has now been completed, and has helped

further define requirements for future works.

11.1.1 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM REHABILITATION

Continue with an annual program for the maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction of

sewers to accommodate wastewater flows. This work will include: spot repairs, replacement and

upsizing (as necessary) of sewers and rehabilitation of manholes. This work is required for

sections identified as having an OCI (Overall Condition Index) of greater than 25, as described in

Section 5.3. Over the next 20 years about 21.4 km of sewers (including trunks) have been

identified to be rehabilitated, which equates to approximately 1.1 km per year.

It is recommended that the wastewater collection system rehabilitation be carried out annually at

a cost of $825,000.

11.1.2 INFLOW AND INFILTRATION PROGRAM

Establish an annual program to complete system improvements to reduce inflow and infiltration

including: maintenance hole rehabilitation, service lateral rehabilitation, and disconnection of

roof leaders and footing drains, as well as to further define problem areas using tools such as

sewage pumping station flows, flo-totes and smoke testing. Flows to the WWTC are typically 30

to 40% higher than metered water consumption on average. Past study has identified areas with

high inflow and infiltration and work should continue to make system improvements in these

areas. Coordination of the inflow and infiltration program with the sanitary sewer rehabilitation

and roads rehabilitation programs should be a priority. This program will postpone the need for a

WWTC expansion and reduce the extent of expansion required.

It is recommended that the inflow and infiltration program be carried out annually at a cost of

$100,000.

11.1.3 WWTC IMPROVEMENTS AND OPTIMIZATION

Periodically, there are specific maintenance, equipment replacement and upgrading requirements

at the WWTC. Current required works include: upgrading to an automated screening system at

the WWTC Primary Building, cleaning out and lining rehabilitation of the lagoons and

upgrading communication and SCADA capabilities of sewage pumping stations that are lacking.

Page 56

In addition, funding should be available for regular plant improvements, including equipment

upgrading/replacement, that are beyond the scope of routine operation and maintenance.

It is recommended that an annual fund of $200,000 be allocated for WWTC improvements.

11.1.4 SEWAGE PUMPING STATION IMPROVEMENTS

The City’s sewage pumping stations require periodic upgrades and design review to ensure

reliability, improve control, remove health and safety hazards. Improvements are required in the

near future at the Broadview Avenue, Forest Avenue North, Fittons Road East and Commerce

Road sewage pumping stations. In addition, a review of design and refurbishment of the

remaining 16 stations will be required over the next 20 years.

The Broadview Avenue work is scheduled for 2013 at a cost of $330,000. It is recommended that

the work for the next three stations be completed in 2014 to 2016 at a cost of $400,000 per year.

It is also recommended to allocate $300,000 per annum starting in 2017 to refurbish one

pumping station annually.

11.1.5 STANDBY POWER FOR SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS

Standby power for sewage pumping stations during a power outage is essential, as considerable

damage can be caused to residential homes by sewer backups. At present, the sewage pumping

stations at James Street, Bayview Parkway, Fittons Road West and the Champlain Industrial

Park are provided with permanent standby power. The remaining 16 pumping stations also

require access to standby power to assist with pumping during a prolonged power outage.

It is recommended that a portable trailer mounted generator be purchased in 2014 for the sewage

pumping stations without permanent standby power, at a cost of $150,000.

11.1.6 PUBLIC AWARENESS PROGRAM ON SEWAGE DISCHARGE

Establish a program to increase public awareness about the City’s wastewater system, including

such topics as: the City’s Sewage Discharge By-Law, inflow and infiltration, fats, oils and grease

from residential and commercial users, emptying swimming pools, flushing medications and

trash down toilets, and sanitary sewer discharge from industries. This campaign will help to

control the quantity and quality of discharge to the wastewater system and, ultimately, to Lake

Simcoe.

It is recommended that an annual fund of $20,000 be allocated for the public awareness program

on sewage discharge.

11.1.7 INCH SEWAGE PUMPING STATION AND FORCEMAIN

Construction of the Inch Sewage Pumping Station and associated forcemain to service the Inch

Development Area and possibly the adjacent Area 3 Development in Severn Township.

It is recommended that this work be completed in conjunction with development in about

2015/2016 at an estimated cost of $500,000 for each year.

Page 57

11.1.8 VICTORIA POINT AREA SERVICING

Extension of the existing wastewater collection system to service the remaining unserviced

portions of the Victoria Point area. This will include upgrades to the existing trunk sewer on

West Street South, new sewage pumping station and associated forcemain, and new gravity and

pressure sewers.

It is recommended that this work be completed in conjunction with development in about

2017/2018 at an estimated cost of $1,000,000 for each year.

11.1.9 CNR TRUNK SEWER UPGRADES AND REROUTING

Complete upgrades to the southern portion of the CNR trunk sewer to accommodate future

development and consider rerouting the portion of the sewer that passes through lands in the

downtown waterfront area. Necessary upgrades to the southern CNR trunk sewer are in conflict

with potential development plans in the downtown waterfront area. Relocation of the trunk sewer

to within existing road allowances will allow necessary upgrades to proceed.

It is recommended that relocation and upgrading of the southern portion of the CNR trunk sewer

be completed at an estimated cost of $600,000 in 2014, $400,000 in 2015 and $1,000,000 in each

of 2020 and 2021.

11.1.10 CHANGES TO JOHN STREET SEWAGE PUMPING STATION DRAINAGE

AREA

Complete sewer upgrades to allow wastewater from the John Street SPS no. 19 drainage area to

flow by gravity, thereby eliminating the need for this sewage pumping station.

It is recommended that changes to the John Street SPS drainage area be completed in about

2023/2024/2025 at an estimated cost of $500,000 for each year.

11.1.11 REALIGNMENT OF OLD HURONIA ROAD SEWER ALONG LACLIE

STREET

Replacement of the existing sewer that runs along a previous road allowance for Huronia Road

from Laclie Street to Hughes Road with a sewer that runs along Laclie Street to Hughes Road

would free up the land for sale and make a more useful block for redevelopment.

It is recommended that realignment of the old Huronia Road sewer along Laclie Street be

completed in 2019 at an estimated cost of $350,000.

11.1.12 WASTEWATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATING

It is necessary for the Wastewater System Master Plan to be reviewed and updated for MOE

approval at least once every 5 years in order to meet the requirements of the Environmental

Assessment Act. It is noted that unless MOE approval is obtained once every five years the

environmental assessment process followed to date, including public and agency review of Phase

Page 58

1 and Phase 2 environmental assessment procedures, may no longer be valid and the City may be

required to start the process again. This could become very costly if a full environmental

assessment process is undertaken when implementing and constructing each of the projects

required or listed in the Schedule of Works.

It is recommended that the Master Plan be reviewed and updated, and MOE approval of its

continued validity be obtained, in 2017, 2022, 2027, and 2032 at an estimated cost of $30,000 in

each of those years.

11.1.13 WWTC TERTIARY TREATMENT UPGRADE

To protect the health of Lake Simcoe reductions of phosphorus inputs to the lake are required.

The City will need to complete the tertiary treatment upgrade at the WWTC by June 2, 2015 to

meet the requirements of the current Environmental Compliance Approval and the Lake Simcoe

Phosphorus Reduction Strategy. This project is in the final stages of design, and tendering is

anticipated to occur in 2013 with construction expected to be undertaken in 2013 to 2015.

It is recommended that the WWTC tertiary treatment upgrade be completed at a cost of $5

million in 2013 and 2014, and $4 million in 2015.

11.1.14 WWTC EXPANSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The WWTC is currently not projected to require expansion until beyond the horizon of this

update report of 2042. However, this will be reviewed at the next Master Plan update in 5 years’

time. Prior to an expansion the Phase 3 and 4 environmental assessment requirements will need

to be completed including preparation of an Environmental Study Report.

11.2 PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF WORKS AND COSTS

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1 EXISTING SEWAGE TREATMENT AND COLLECTION SYSTEM The existing wastewater system in the City of Orillia consists of 163 km of sanitary sewer, 20 sanitary sewage pumping stations, and a conventional activated sludge Wastewater Treatment Centre with a capacity of 27,300 m3/d (average day). All components of the wastewater system are owned, operated and maintained by the City of Orillia. A description of the sanitary sewage collection system and the Wastewater Treatment Centre is provided in the city of Orillia Wastewater System Master Plan Update 2012. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THE HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS A hydraulic analysis of the Orillia wastewater system was undertaken as part of the Wastewater Master Plan Update. Purposes for completing this analysis are to: Analyze the wastewater collection system using sophisticated computer

software;

Include recent system revisions;

Identify potential system deficiencies;

Evaluate system upgrade alternatives;

Confirm system characteristics and necessary modifications; and

Prepare an updated base model that can be used for analysis of future modifications associated with growth, particularly to the west of Highway 11.

The wastewater collection system has been analyzed using the HYDRA Version 6.4 software developed by PIZER Inc. This software is for the analysis, design, and management of sewer systems. A description of the computer model and results of the analysis are summarized hereinafter. Future system performance analyses can also be made by updating the model with system expansions and upgrades. 1.3 BASIC MODEL - EXISTING CONDITIONS The HYDRA model developed for the 2004 Wastewater System Master Plan was used as a starting point. This base model was reviewed and updated with new and upgraded pipes, manholes, and sewage pumping stations. As well, sewage flows were brought up to date. The original model was created by replicating the wastewater collection system on an OBM base plan. The City’s sanitary sewer mapping and database were used to determine pipe lengths, diameters, grades, and locations, with field checks by staff in areas of uncertainty.

2.0 CURRENT SEWAGE FLOW 2.1 GENERAL Accurate sewage flow data is necessary to construct a hydraulic model that accurately represents the performance of the existing system. The original model established sewage flows on an industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential basis by:

1) Examination of water records over the past 5 years to determine an average day demand (ADD).

2) ADD for industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) users was determined from individual water meter records for these users.

3) The sum of metered ICI use was subtracted from the total ADD to establish the total residential water demand, and an average residential rate of 350 L/cap.d.

4) Sewage flow was then assigned to each of the established sanitary drainage areas in the model.

2.2 EXISTING FLOWS The original model used water meter records for 2002 assigned to each ICI property in litres per day (L/d). High density residential developments were assigned flows similar to ICI as they are also individually metered. For residential properties, the person per household rate of 2.95 was multiplied by the average residential flow rate of 350 L/cap.d. The original model used the parcel map of the City divided into numbered sanitary service (SE) areas. Each SE area was assigned a diurnal curve, allowing the model to accurately reflect actual sewage flow within the collection system, and to determine peak flow. For the 2012 model the following updates to existing flows were completed:

1) Examination of water records over the past 5 years to determine an average day demand of 17,880 m3/day.

2) Addition of new sanitary service areas in West Orillia.

3) Review and update of ICI flows using 2011 water meter records.

4) Addition of residential and ICI flows in West Orillia.

5) Addition of infiltration flows for Sewage Pumping Station zones in areas of known infiltration occurrence, as part of model calibration.

Diurnal curves developed in March 1996 were used in the original model, based on hourly flow data for each zoning type (see Table 1 and Graph 1). In general, peak flows for industrial and residential users do not coincide, and so, to simply add up the peak flows for each type of development would be conservative but would overstate the peak flows actually experienced in each trunk sewer. Alternatively, to apportion the total


3

system peak flow equally to each pipe the system would undervalue the peak flow occurring in the trunk sewers. The HYDRA software is sufficiently sophisticated to distribute the peak flows appropriately throughout the simulation, and hence, provides a more accurate representation of the peak sewage flows generated within the sewage collection system. The hourly factors used in creating the model of the diurnal curves were determined using the actual hourly factors experienced on March 16, 1996 as seen in Table 1.

3.0 FUTURE SEWAGE FLOW 3.1 GENERAL The original model incorporated future projected flows from the development area immediately west of Highway 11 as well as full infilling of the available land within the existing serviced area east of Highway 11. The design criteria used are:

Persons per household = 2.95 Daily per capita flow allowance = 300 L/cap/day Industrial flow allowance = 0.42 L/ha/s (36 m3/ha.d) Commercial flow allowance = 0.32 L/ha/s (28 m3/ha.d) Infiltration flow allowance = 0.04 L/ha/s Peaking factor method = Diurnal Curves Manning's Roughness coefficient = 0.013

The above design criteria are in accordance with City of Orillia standards and are within the rates identified in the MOE Guidelines. The exception being the use of diurnal curves, which were developed from actual flow records and are more accurate than the Harmon method for determining a peaking factor. Note that the ultimate overall future flows discussed in the 2012 Master Plan Update document are 5% higher than those carried in the hydraulic modelling. This allowed for a future re-urbanization of 5% that was not incorporated into the hydraulic model. Re-urbanization will be site specific and can be incorporated into model updates as these sites are identified. As in the original model, analysis of the ultimate flow conditions was completed assuming that the existing wastewater collection system could accommodate all future flows with relatively minor upgrades and modifications. Therefore it was not considered necessary to construct models which assumed the provision of an independent system, conveying flow directly to the Wastewater Treatment Centre, for the annexed lands.

4.0 HYDRA MODEL 4.1 GENERAL In hydraulic network analysis, a calibrated model is used to evaluate the collection system performance under existing and/or future operating conditions. The computer simulation is typically undertaken for the most limiting condition(s); in this case peak flow. Deficiencies in system performance are usually evident as unacceptably high liquid elevations in the pumping stations and maintenance holes, excessive or insufficient velocities in pipes, or as inconsistent operating conditions. MOE design guidelines suggest the following system requirements, which have been used in these analyses as the limiting acceptable parameters:

velocities in forcemains range from 0.8 to 2.5 m/s.

velocities in gravity sewers range from 0.6 to 3.0 m/s 4.2 INPUT DATA In order to construct the original HYDRA model of the Orillia wastewater collection system, the following preliminary steps were undertaken to determine the correct input data:

1) Pipe lengths were determined by plotting the collection system on a digital OBM base map from which the HYDRA program automatically calculated the lengths. Pipe diameters were determined by analysis of the City’s overall sewage system base plan, and elevations were determined from field records.

2) The pump data for all the sewage pumping station pumps were obtained from drawdown tests. The pump data was input into the HYDRA program.

3) Sewage flow data was determined from a combination of field flow monitoring and an examination of historical water consumption records.

4) After the physical and operational conditions were established and input into the HYDRA program, partial calibration of the model was undertaken to determine pipe roughness coefficients.

Original calibration of the model involved comparison of model results with actual measured results, and manipulation of the roughness coefficients for different pipe sections in the model. It was determined that an assumed pipe roughness coefficient of 0.013 for all pipes best replicated actual conditions in the model. For the 2012 model update, the following additional steps were taken:

1) New and upgraded pipes were digitized and added to the model. The City’s sanitary sewer mapping and database were used as the data source.


7

2) Sewage flow data was reviewed and updated using water consumption records for ICI users and population estimates multiplied by an average residential flow rate of 350 L/cap.d.

3) Pump data for all the sewage pumping stations was reviewed and updated to reflect station upgrades since the original model.

4) Further calibration of the model was completed by adding infiltration flow to pumping station zones in known areas of infiltration occurrence.

Calibration of the model involved comparison of model results with actual measured results, and the addition of infiltration flows where appropriate. 4.3 EXISTING WASTEWATER SYSTEM The existing wastewater system is described in Section 3.4 of the main report. Future conditions with respect to population growth, industrial / commercial / institutional (ICI) growth and wastewater flow projections are described in Section 4 of the main report.

5.0 HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS 5.1 GENERAL In the original model, several alternatives were considered to service future development in Orillia. Since that time, expansion of the collection system has proceeded in line with the preferred alternative. In this model update, the existing system is modelled under both current and future flow conditions. 5.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing wastewater collection system was first analyzed with respect to constraints within the existing system with no future development included. Using the HYDRA computer model, the existing system was analyzed for current peak flow (worst case) conditions. It was confirmed that the existing trunk sewers, sewage pumping stations and Wastewater Treatment Centre can accommodate these peak flows. 5.3 ULTIMATE CONDITIONS The wastewater collection system’s capability to service future development in Orillia was also analyzed. Using the HYDRA computer model the existing system was analyzed assuming that existing infrastructure will be used to service new development. The model identified the following sewers with peak sewage flow at more than 70% of pipe capacity: 250mm dia. sewer between MH 100 and MH 97 on West Street South

250mm dia. sewer between MH 413 and MH 417 on West Street South In addition, the following trunk sewers with peak sewage flow at more than 70% of pipe capacity were identified: 350mm dia. trunk sewer between MH 1346 and MH 1344 on Fittons Road East

600mm dia. trunk sewer between MH 35 and MH 30 of the CNR trunk sewer As well, the model indicated that Sewage Pumping Station No. 10 on Victoria Crescent does not have enough capacity to accommodate flows due to the future infilling of the Victoria Point area.


9

6.0 SUMMARY

Computer modelling of the existing wastewater collection system indicates that all existing peak flows can be accommodated. As well, computer modelling of the ultimate conditions predicts that future infilling in the existing serviced areas of the City and full development of West Orillia can be accommodated with a few upgrades to the existing wastewater collection system. These include: upsizing of a few existing sewers and trunk sewers, and an increase in capacity of Sewage Pumping Station No. 5 on Victoria Crescent.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION DOCUMENTATION FOR 2012 MASTER PLAN UPDATE

CITY OF ORILLIA WASTEWATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATE

PUBLIC COMMENT INVITED

The City of Orillia is updating its Wastewater System Master Plan, which identifies the wastewater infrastructure requirements to service population growth, new developments, and new service areas. The purpose of this Master Plan update is to address limitations related to the existing wastewater system, both with respect to existing services and future development. This update will continue to follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. By maintaining this approach, the updated Master Plan will satisfy the first two phases of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Water and Wastewater Projects. This will include a revised schedule of major works for future planning, design, and implementation. Based on study findings, completed works, and the impact of the Lake Simcoe Protection Act and Regulations, the 2012 Wastewater Master Plan update provides an update of works carried out since the period covered by the 2004 Master Plan. It will also include revised projections, additional public consultation, and additional recommended works not a part of the original Master Plan. Public input and comments are invited for incorporation into the wastewater system master planning process, and will be received until January 31, 2012. Subject to comments received, the City of Orillia intends to finalize the update by June 2012. Information will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

Reference: City of Orillia Wastewater System Master Plan Update

The future development of the City of Orillia depends on the provision of adequate municipal

water and wastewater services. Master Plans are necessary to establish a framework to

specifically identify the water and wastewater infrastructure requirements to service population

growth, new developments, and new service areas. The City of Orillia intends to update its

Wastewater System Master Plan, originally adopted in 2004. Please find enclosed a copy of the

“Public Comment Invited” notice for the 2012 Wastewater System Master Plan Update, that is to

be published in the local papers December 15th, 2011, as well as posted on the City’s website.

SAFETY NOTICEHoliday Fire Safety

andYour ChristmasTree

• Get a freshly cut tree. It will stay green longer and be less of a firehazard. Try to pick a tree with a strong green colour and noticeablefragrance.

• Always test for freshness before buying.A tree with high moisture con-tent is safer. Very few needles should fall when the butt of the tree istapped on the ground; needles should bend, not break; and the stumpshould be sticky with resin.

• Place the tree in a stand that will hold 2 to 3 litres of water and top it updaily. Make sure it is always immersed in water: If water drops belowthe trunk, the stem may reseal itself, requiring a fresh cut. Use a treestand that has widespread legs for better balance.

• Do not set your tree up near a heat source such as a radiator, televi-sion, fireplace, heating duct or sunny window. It should not block doorsor windows.

• Never use lighted candles on or near the tree.

• Remove the tree within 10 to 14 days. After that amount of time in aheated building, even the freshest tree can start to dry out.

Last but not least ... make sure your smoke detectors work!
