Main Headworks & Odor Control Bids have been received for all of Scope I packages, Scope II remains in Planning, and Scope III progressed through 95% Design. As construction ramps up, we’ll continue to engage local businesses, residents, ratepayers, and commuters to answer questions and provide updates about construction activities and potential traffic impacts. Biosolids Digester Facilities Project Headworks is where all wastewater flows converge, and is the first step in the wastewater treatment process. Over the past year the BDFP achieve a few significant pre-construction milestones consisting of: • Project approval, adoption of CEQA findings, and release of funds from the Board of Supervisors; of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the amount of $699,242,023; and, • Approval • Award of the Construction Management Staff The largest project of Phase 1, the Biosolids Digester Augmentation contract to Arcadis. Facilities Project (BDFP), is a top priority for the BDFP will commence construction in Summer 2019, SFPUC. When this project is complete we will have Next Steps Project Objectives and as with all our projects in construction, we will made major strides in converting the SEP into a The project is preparing to start construction • Address aging infrastructure – Construct new, modern, efforts to let the public know proven and efficient treatment technologies continue outreach in late 2019, including: true resource recovery facility by implementing • Maintain regulatory compliance about upcoming milestones and plan any potential • Developing a traffic control sustainable reuse of several components of the • Build critical processes with redundant infrastructure • Site preparation activities to provide reliability and operational flexibility project-related disruptions. wastewater stream, including energy from biogas • Improve seismic reliability For more information visit sfwater.org/digesters. from the digestion process, a • substantial increase in and biogas Beneficially use 100% of biosolids produced use of recycled water, and a higher of and biosolids • Improve class odor, noise visual quality will be produced with expanded beneficial reuse opportunities. The project will also utilize modern odor control technology and address earthquake and climate change risks. Additionally, the digesters will be moved farther away from residents and incorporate major visual and architecture improvements. The new solids treatment system will ensure treatment reliability, maintain regulatory compliance, and protect public health and the environment.
