This document summarizes an Oak Harbor Facilities Plan workshop regarding options for upgrading the city's wastewater treatment plant. It discusses the project goals, schedule, and planning process to date including public and stakeholder input. Eight preliminary treatment alternatives are presented combining potential treatment technologies, sites, and outfall locations. The alternatives will be evaluated against criteria such as costs, environmental and neighborhood impacts, and water quality. The next steps are to refine the alternatives matrix and select a proposed alternative.

Lake Accotink Dredge Public Meeting Combined Presentation July 29 & aug 5...Fairfax County
Lake Siltation
Lake Accotink has been dredged three times over the past 40 years.
The most recent dredging was completed in May 2008.
An average of 20,000 CY of sediment is deposited in the lake per year.
The estimated average depth of the lake is less than 4 feet.
Park Master Plan Process
Master Plan began Spring 2016.
5 Public Meetings/Workshops held with Community.
6 Lake Management Options were shared with the public.
90% of public comments favored having the lake.
Board of Supervisors Approval of Funding
BOS approved request to seek funding for up to $30.5 million to proceed with Lake Accotink Dredging in October 2019 .

Develop a Pre-Design Process Specifically for Green/ Sustainable Building Projects with A Goal to Provide Facilitation, Advice, Ideas, Research and Data to the Client for A Sustainable Project.
In-situ groundwater remedial technologies have been recently used more and more. To regulate the injection materials to groundwater, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board uses the Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to permit the injection materials. This presentation is to review the contents of the new version of 2014 WDRs (R4-2014-0187) that was just adopted on September 11, 2014 by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, and to provide an overview of the process used to select materials permitted for in-situ remediation injection and to apply the WDRs.
Rabbit Branch at Collingham Drive Stream Restoration Information Meeting - Ju...Fairfax County
The goal of the stream restoration project is to build an ecologically sound restoration that balances water quality benefits with riparian function and park user experience.
Kadena USAF Air Base, Okinawa, Japan; Waste To Energy Feasibility StudyJeffrey Riegle
This is the finding report that our team created for the Kadena USAF Air Base, Okinawa, Japan; Waste To Energy Feasibility Study. It looked at three different technologies: Incineration, Plasma Gasification, and Anaerobic Digestion. Lots of good information, and more backup can be found in the report.
Provided technical input, peer review, environmental, and project oversight for a feasibility study to evaluate incineration, plasma gasification, and anaerobic digestion as waste to energy technologies on the island of Okinawa, Japan. Each technology was evaluated for technical feasibility with the current waste stream at KAB, potential energy generation and uses, cost and payback, and potential environmental issues.
Based on this evaluation, a Waste-to-Energy Feasibility Assessment Report was prepared for KAB. This report discusses the feasibility of each of these waste-to-energy technologies, evaluates environmental permitting issues for each technology, recommends uses for generated energy (electricity, steam, etc.), and discusses life cycle costs and payback. Recommendations were made regarding the preferred waste-to-energy technology for implementation at KAB.
12. Summary of U.S. Navy FeedbackKickoff Meeting, S1 Workshop Candidate sites exist on Seaplane Base Areas South of Train Wreck, North of Lagoon, and near Capehart Housing were proposed “Train Wreck” site not favored by NAS Whidbey staff Stepwise process starts with local offices and continues through US Sec. of Navy Cultural resources are a potential issue, particularly near the shoreline Close coordination with local/regional planning and real estate staff is required
13. Summary of U.S. Navy FeedbackKickoff Meeting, S1 Workshop (cont.) Options to site a facility on U.S. Navy property Long-term Lease (preferred by Navy) Requires approval from Sec. of Navy 2 to 3 year process Terms similar to current lagoon site agreement Acquisition through surplus Extensive process includes NEPA process by Navy 3 to 4 year process Other federal, non-governmental entities may pursue property Congressional Action
14. Summary of Stakeholder FeedbackS2 Workshop Invitations went out to over a dozen agencies / individuals Stakeholder Workshop attendance: U.S. Navy (NAS Whidbey) Department of Ecology NPDES/planning; reclaimed water; biosolids Department of Health Outfall/shellfish harvesting; reclaimed water WA Senator Haugen’s staff
15. Summary of Stakeholder FeedbackS2 Workshop (cont) Dept. of Ecology Feedback New reclaimed water standards due mid-2011 Be aware of water rights issues Favor regional biosolids solution Existing lagoon not viable long-term option Dept. of Health Feedback Potential impact on shellfish will be evaluated Penn Cove is particular concern Sen. Haugen Feedback Public education/awareness key to planning effort
16. Summary of Public FeedbackInterviews, Website, 12/6/10 Public Forum Interviews 8 interviews conducted over past 2 months Project Website Feedback Comments welcomed online Public Forum Summary document completed following meeting Feedback has been consistent: Existing service is good Need to control costs and implement long-term fix Avoid open space/public impact Evaluation process/criteria are appropriate
40. Collection System Considerations 100% of City flow currently reaches RBC plant Sites near RBC are most efficient Reduce/eliminate pump station and forcemain ± 50% of City flow passes by Old City Shops site Sites further from the RBC site will require extensive (expensive) conveyance improvements Treating flow from Navy Housing with a small, satellite facility may reduce conveyance costs
41. Outfall/Discharge Considerations Existing outfall to Oak Harbor no longer useable Existing outfall to Crescent Harbor requires improvements for long-term use Oak Harbor, Crescent Harbor, West Beach are options (depending on treatment plant location) All locations provide adequate mixing Shellfish harvesting evaluated by Dept. of Health and Dept. of Natural Resources Several agencies have moved outfall to avoid mitigation payments for lost resources
43. Opportunities for Beneficial Reuse In addition to these outfall locations, team will evaluate beneficial reuse opportunities, including: Landscape/open space irrigation Groundwater recharge Habitat creation/improvement
59. Land Use Considerations (OHMC 19.20) Prohibited in CBD Zoning Principally Permitted in PF Zoning Conditionally Permitted in Most Zonings Some Areas not Specifically Addressed
