Report Appendix.pdfTable of ContentsAppendix AAppendix BAppendix CAppendix DAppendix EAppendix FAppendix GAppendix HAppendix IAppendix JAppendix KPreliminary Engineering Report for the Merom, Indiana Wastewater Management System Prepared for the Merom, Indiana Town Board April 27, 2007 Prepared by:DISCLAIMER The contents of this engineering design report were prepared by civil engineering students at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for their senior capstone design class. BMD Consultants is a fictitious company created by these students (Brian Bibb, Derek Davidson, Danny Lindley, Matt Hurst, Bobby Reese) for the purpose of this class. These students are not registered professional engineers! All material presented herein should be reviewed and stamped by a professional engineer prior to construction. A liability waiver has been signed by the client, and copies are available from the client and from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.RELEASE The Town of Merom shall have this design project entitled "Merom Wastewater Management System," reviewed and approved by a professional (licensed) engineer(s) prior to any and/or all actual implementation or use. In the event this design project is implemented or used in any manner by The Town of Merom, then in consideration of the benefit to be derived by The Town of Merom from this design project, The Town of Merom acknowledges that said use and/or implementation has inherent risks and dangers of injury to person or property. The Town of Merom elects knowingly and voluntarily to assume and/or incur all risks of loss, damage or injury of whatever kind, including death, that may be sustained or suffered by The Town Merom from the implementation or use of this design project, whether or not the result is in whole or in part through acts or omissions, negligence, or other unintentional fault of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, its officers, directors, agents, employees, servants, faculty, staff and students (hereafter, "Rose-Hulman"). The Town of Merom agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Rose-Hulman from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action and loss (including reasonable attorney's fees) which may be brought or imposed on or incurred by Rose-Hulman, arising from any negligence or other act or omission by The Town of Merom alleged to have caused in whole or in part any injury to any person or property during the implementation or use of this design project. This Release shall be binding on the heirs, assigns, beneficiaries, and personal representatives of The Town of Merom. The undersigned with binding legal authority on behalf The Town of Merom acknowledges that he/she has read this Release, understands it, and is signing this Release with intent to be effective, knowingly and voluntarily and that the undersigned is over eighteen (18) year of age and of sound mind. ______________________________________(Signature) ____________________(Date) _________________________________________________________(Title) Witness: _____________________________(Signature) ____________________(Date)5500 Wabash Avenue, Box 2201 Terre Haute, IN 47803 (812) 887-6424 April 27, 2007 Mr. John Gettinger Town of Merom P.O. Box 165 Merom, Indiana 47861 Dear Mr. Gettinger, Our design team at BMD Consultants is pleased to present our final preliminary engineering and environmental reports for your wastewater management system. We have utilized many aspects of our education to provide the best solution for Merom’s wastewater problem. We have studied several collection, treatment, and discharge options that are suitable for the Town of Merom. For each of these options we have developed a detailed cost estimate which includes annual operation and maintenance. This information was essential for us to make a proper recommendation that minimized the monthly rates for each user. Based on the cost estimates, we recommend a small diameter gravity collection system. The treatment system will be a recirculating sand filter followed by a wetland with the treated wastewater discharged to the Turtle Creek Reservoir. Thank you for choosing BMD Consultants for this project. We are extremely excited about this project and look forward to its completion in the future. Please contact Derek Davidson at 812-887-6424 if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Derek Davidson Brian Bibb Matt Hurst Project Manager/Client Liaison Project Engineer Project Engineer Daniel Lindley Bobby Reese Project Engineer Project EngineerExecutive Summary The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) issued a Notice of Violation for the town of Merom, Indiana in 2004. This notice was issued because of the presence of E. coli in roadside ditches. To remediate this problem, the Town of Merom selected BMD Consultants to design a collection and a treatment system for the town’s wastewater. BMD Consultants investigated and analyzed multiple design options to correct this problem. The options for the collection system include standard gravity, small diameter gravity, a pressure system, and a vacuum system. The options evaluated for treatment include a local package plant, regional treatment, stabilization lagoons, and a recirculating sand filter followed by a wetland system. BMD used various criteria to evaluate and ultimately select the best option to be implemented. These criteria include initial costs, annual operation and maintenance costs, robustness, and aesthetics. Robustness represents how prone the system is to failure and aesthetics is measured in terms of post construction visibility. The recommended collection system is a small diameter gravity system. The recommended treatment option is a recirculating sand filter followed by a wetland system. The treatment system will be located on Hoosier Energy property next to Old Indiana 54 and discharged to the Turtle Creek Reservoir. The cost for each component of the proposed systems is $812,000 for treatment, $861,000 for the collection system, and $198,000 for the discharge system. The options that BMD Consultants recommends are designed to meet the permit requirements set by IDEM. The recirculating sand filter will lower the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) of the wastewater to 10 mg/L BOD5 and 10 mg/L suspended solids. The wetlands will remove ammonia from the effluent as well as lower
