1. 1 Briefing for IMA Participants on Results of Flow Studies October 31, 2006 District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority

2. 2 Bases for Analyses  3-yr runs (average 1988, 1989 1990)  Average flow = COG Round 6.3  Base flows vary with amount of rain in year  Suburban wet weather relationships = new regression

3. 3 3. Identify what Suburbs would need to do if not connected to DC CSO system 1. Compare CSO with and without suburbs Three Evaluation Methods 2.

6. 6 Calculations Requested by Suburbs: Blue Plains Treatment Volumes  Suburban calculation methods:  Wet Wet Weather Flow (>511 mgd)  Area 1 - Flow receiving full treatment in the first 4 hours, when plant capacity is 740 mgd  Area 2 - Flow receiving full treatment after the first 4 hours, when plant capacity is 511 mgd  Area 3 - Flow sent to excess flow treatment (336 mgd, or a total of 1,076 then 847 mgd)  Dry Weather Flow  Area 4 – flow <511 mgd  Suburbs calculated volumes for 1 event & requested that volumes be calculated for entire 3 years

12. 12 Technical Findings  Suburban flow peaks exceed treatment allocations (>2.0/1.38 x annual average)  Suburbs contribute to excess flow  Suburbs contribute to CSOs  Suburbs get SSO relief connected to CSO system  Governed by CSO Policy where overflows are allowed in average year, not SSO Policy where no overflows are allowed ever  It’s less expensive for DC and suburbs to be in the system together than to be apart  D.C. uses suburbs treatment capacity during CSO events and tunnel dewatering  Suburbs use D.C. treatment capacity after D.C. storm surge passes due to lag  System is shared, timing of flows works to benefit of all  Separate systems for D.C. and suburbs would be larger and more expensive
