Body
SUMMARY:
This approval request brought forward to Council is related to the injection well that will serve the Water Treatment Facilities. This effort is all proceeding as planned and in accordance with the Water Supply Master Plan of 2004 (subsequently updated in 2008) and also in compliance with State Statute procedure for permitting this type of facility.
The first phases of work on the injection well have resulted in permits being secured and an exploratory well being drilled to a depth of 1,000 feet below surface at the planned site of the new brackish Reverse Osmosis Plant at Water Plant 2 (US19 north of Gulf-to-Bay). The exploratory well has proven to meet design criteria and expectations with the appropriate geology to receive the salty water that will be a by-product of our water treatment efforts in the future. LBG secured a permit to complete the second phase of construction bringing the well to functional status.
Work Order No. 5 includes hydrogeological services for: review, compilation, and evaluation of monthly monitoring data during the two-year operational test period; preparation of an Operational Test Summary Report; and preparation of an application for a Class I Injection Well Operating Permit.
The City of Clearwater Public Utilities Department is responsible for operation and maintenance of the concentrate injection well.
