Project Overview

Basics

HEALTHY, SAFE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
Covelo CSD Collection System and WWTP Improvements

  • Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation

NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 1 (DWR)
Implementation
Reducing I&I into the collection system will ease the burden of extremely high flows through the WWTP during winter/rainy periods. When flows are high, not only is the treatment often insufficient, but the plant may be forced to surface water discharge effluent into the nearby Grist Creek, as happened in 2017 (failed toxicity test), reducing water quality. Another part of this project is to add power resiliency through a new PV power source and Ozone equipment protection to improve operations.

Project Attributes

General Information

Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The I&I portion of the project tackles several areas of the collection system (CS) that were not included in the 2008 CS upgrade. All 4 portions of the CS that are included have been specifically identified as areas with significant I&I by CCSD's operator using CCSD's CCTV equipment and visual inspection. Phase 2 of this project will also include the construction of the ozone canopy withth solar panels over the disinfection equipment to protect the recently installed ozone equipment. The PV system will provide self-reliance and economics by saving on power costs, while reducing GHG emissions.

Project Types

Project Types

This project improves wastewater infrastructure in a severely economically disadvantaged community.
If the I&I is reduced, as proposed, the need to perform a surface water discharge is expected to be eliminated. Therefore, wastewater with toxic ammonia levels will not be directly entering the habitats.
This project will install a solar system, reducing GHG emissions and increasing regional climate resiliency.
