  • Waitara Marine Outfall Ecological Monitoring Annual Report
    Waitara Marine Outfall Ecological Monitoring Programme Report 2011-2013 Technical Report 2013–52 ISSN: 0114-8184 (Print) Taranaki Regional Council ISSN: 1178-1467 (Online) Private Bag 713 Document: 1250800 (Word) STRATFORD Document: 1314699 (Pdf) March 2014 Executive summary The New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) manages the Waitara Marine Outfall, which discharges approximately 1250 m offshore from the mouth of the Waitara River into the Tasman Sea. The outfall provides for the disposal of wastewater from the Waitara municipal sewage reticulation system, along with Methanex Waitara Valley and Methanex Motunui Limited methanol plants. The outfall was previously managed by the Waitara Outfall Management Board (WOMB), made up of NPDC, Methanex and Anzco Foods Waitara Limited. In 2010, NPDC took over sole management of the outfall, and has a contract with Methanex to allow the continued use of the outfall for their discharge. Anzco Foods Waitara Limited stopped being a member of WOMB in July 2009, and instead discharges into the sewer line to the wastewater treatment plant under a trade waste agreement with New Plymouth District Council (NPDC). This three year report for the period January 2011 to December 2013 describes the ecological monitoring programme and any effects of the Waitara outfall on local intertidal reef communities. The Waitara Marine Outfall ecological programme has been operating in its present form for over twenty years. Five survey sites are included in the programme consisting of three potential impact sites and two control sites. These five sites were surveyed during spring 2011, 2012 and 2013. NPDC and Methanex hold a total of four resource consents in relation to the Waitara Marine Outfall, which include a total of 64 conditions setting out the requirements that the holders must satisfy.

  • Environmental Benefits and Economical Sustainability of Urban
    water Article Environmental Benefits and Economical Sustainability of Urban Wastewater Reuse for Irrigation—A Cost-Benefit Analysis of an Existing Reuse Project in Puglia, Italy Claudio Arena 1,* , Mario Genco 2 and Mario Rosario Mazzola 1 1 Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Università degli Studi di Palermo, 90128 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] 2 Qanat Engineering Srl, 90142 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 September 2020; Accepted: 15 October 2020; Published: 20 October 2020 Abstract: Besides benefits associated to increased water availability for irrigation, reuse projects of urban water can also provide positive environmental impacts, as they contribute to improve water quality of the receiving bodies by diverting wastewater from their outlet. This represents a typical win-win situation where significant synergies can be achieved between urban and agricultural sector, and the environment. These favorable conditions, however, do not necessarily imply that water reuse is either feasible from an economic perspective nor that the underlying supply chain is going to be triggered, if certain conditions are not met. Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is considered a sound, theoretically well-grounded tool to analyze the financial and economical sustainability of an investment. The paper presents the CBA of an existing reuse scheme in Puglia, in southern Italy, reclaiming wastewater for irrigation from a coastal area with growing recreational, beach-related activities.

  • CED-81-68 Billions Could Be Saved Through Waivers for Coastal Wastewater Treatment Plants
    BY THECOMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Billions Could Be Saved Through Waivers For Coastal Wastewater Treatment Plants In many locations discharges of primary treated municipal wastes are not harmful to the marine environment. Giving waivers to coastal communities in these locations so they do not have to build Federally required sec- ondary treatment facilities could save billions in Federal, State, and local construction and operation and maintenance dollars. 115320 Hundreds of communities have been pre- vented from applying for these waivers be- cause of legislative constraints and restrictive Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

  • Planning and Design of Desalination Plants Effluent Systems
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Planning and Design of Desalination Plants Effluent Systems A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering by Sami Maalouf 2014 © Copyright by Sami Maalouf 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Planning and Design of Desalination Plants Effluent Systems By Sami Maalouf Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William W-G. Yeh, Chair Increasing demand for water in urban areas and agricultural zones in arid and semi-arid coastal regions has urged planners and regulators to look for alternative renewable water sources. Seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO) plants have become an essential supply source for the production of freshwater in such regions. However, the disposal of hypersaline wastes from these plants in many of these regions has not been fully and properly addressed. This study aims to develop and present a strategy for the analysis and design of an optimal disposal system of wastes generated by SWRO desalination plants. After current disposal options were evaluated, the use of multiport marine outfalls is recommended as an effective disposal system. Marine outfalls are a reliable means for ii conveying wastes from process plants, to include wastewater treatment and power plants, into the coastal waters. Their proper use, however, in conjunction with SWRO desalination plants is still in its beginning stage. A simulation-optimization approach is proposed to design a system for safe disposal of brine wastes. This disposal system is comprised of a marine outfall that is equipped with a multiport diffuser structure.

  • Construction Challenges in an Ocean Outfall – a Case Study Page 1
    International Symposium on Outfall Systems, May 15-18, 2011, Mar del Plata, Argentina 2011 Construction Challenges in an Ocean Outfall – a Case Study Sumon Ghosh , M.E (Civil), Engineering Project Specialist, Clearford Industries Inc., Suite 100, 515 Legget Drive, Ottawa, ON K2K 3G4, Canada Abstract This case study demonstrates the constructional challenges faced during the implementation phase of a marine outfall. The wastewater treatment plant for A’Seeb Wastewater Project was located in a high security area (being in close proximity to the royal establishments). Important decisions with respect to choice of material and construction methodology had to be adopted in order to overcome those challenges. INTRODUCTION The A’Seeb Wastewater Project consists of a collection network for primarily domestic sewage collected from three catchment basins of Greater Muscat area, its transportation through a Main Collector Sewer and treatment at a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The gravity sewers of the collection network totalled a length of approximately 2000 km while the Main Collector Sewer constituted a length of 23 km with the pipe diameter varying from 600 mm to 2000 mm. The designed maximum capacity of the treatment plant was 85,000 cum/day. Intended to be used for irrigation and landscaping purposes, an alternate arrangement for disposal of the treated effluent from this plant was to be made. The problem was addressed by making a bypass arrangement in the form of an Ocean Outfall to cover situations when demand for irrigation or landscaping water was not sufficient. The diameter of the proposed steel outfall pipe was 1350 mm and it discharged at a distance of 1 km from the shore line inside the sea.
