Conduct modeling of water quality and water quantity data
Amec Foster Wheeler has generated widely-accepted approaches to water quality and quantity modeling using
public domain software (e.g., SWMM and HSPF) to conduct hydrologic and hydraulic assessments, for example,
modeling to support water resource implementation requirements and pollutant load reduction plans. Model results
were used to help place BMPs, aid in the understanding of sources of water management and pollutant loadings
within local watersheds, assist in source assessments, and support watershed planning efforts. These model
applications utilize comprehensive GIS analyses to support configuration, parameterization , and calibration efforts ,
including spatial analyses of land use, weather , topography, water quality and hydrologic monitoring, and other
datasets to better understand watershed characteristics. Critical to model development projects is the
Environment & Infrastructure amecfw.com Page 9 of 36

communication of complex models and processes to a broad audience, and Amec Foster Wheeler is well-regarded
for our ability to develop reports that are understandable and defensible. Our Team of experts are also well-known
for their ability to present model information and provide trainings to diverse audiences, whether participants are
learning to use the models or simply wish to better understand model processes and how to assess results.
These water quality, water quantity, and GIS models can be readily used to assess the effect of newly-proposed or
hypothetical water quality objectives or other adjustment to numeric targets. In addition, these tools can be
compared to new water quality monitoring data, improved as-needed, and used to provide estimates of pollutant
concentrations or loads for key locations throughout watersheds .

Green Ravine Restoration and Storm Water Harvesting , Treatment , and Reuse Project
Lead engineer in the design of the Green Ravine Restoration and Storm Water Harvest ,
Treatment, and Reuse project. This project has a relatively small footprint but will lead to
significant multiple benefits . A central design element is storm water collection, treatment
and reuse, to provide a self-sustaining irrigation system for the establishment of a native ,
drought tolerate plant palette. The project design takes advantage of the natural
landscape, by capturing, naturally treating (through a planted basin and bioretention area)
and storing water that flows through a relatively steep canyon ; creating green spaces that
also sequester carbon and reduce fuel load/fire susceptibility ; enable the use of reclaimed
water for irrigation and other suitable purposes; and reduce the amount of known
contaminants such as total suspended solids (TSS) and metals from entering an Area of
Special Biological Significance (ASBS).

Technical Advisor. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is responsible
for the design and operation of more than eighty (80) onsite wastewater management
systems located at Safety Roadside Rest Areas (SRRAs) throughout the State of
California. Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are necessary due to the
remoteness of SRRA facilities, where connection to a municipal sanitary sewer system is
not practical. The existing SRRA wastewater systems, which generally discharge to the
soil and indirectly to groundwater, range from septic systems and ponds to, more recently,
advanced nutrient removal systems. The State Water Resources Control Board recently
adopted a new policy, the Water Quality Control Policy for Siting, Design, Operation, and
Maintenance of OWTSs that requires improved treatment of discharges and protection of

groundwater resources. Amec Foster Wheeler was selected to perform waste characterization sampling of a pilot
study design previously installed at a Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA) 0.5 miles north of Dunnigan, California .
Based on the results of sampling, Amec Foster Wheeler will prepare a Design Manual for OWTSs to comply with
State policy, and to improve the performance, reliability, and maintainability of SRRA wastewater systems
throughout the State. The Design Manual will include evaluations of system performance and maintenance
requirements to evaluate future cost-effectiveness.
Treatment processes were plumbed to allow sample collection to evaluate systems individually or as a treatment
train. Monthly samples are collected, for a total of 419 samples throughout the study, to characterize and bench
mark the performance of off the shelf and partially customized wastewater treatment processes . To evaluate the
suitability of the treated water for non-potable, indoor water reuse, the non-chlorine-based disinfection systems
disinfection systems will be sampled as required by Title 22. The pilot OWTS allows collection of data to assess
maintenance requirements and the effectiveness of the system technologies to treat concentrated effluent at
SRRAs .
The OWTS uses a diversions structure to divert flow to the OWTS and a pump station with grinder pumps to deliver
flows to the treatment technologies evaluated in the study. Field operations are ongoing including weekly operation
and maintenance activities to track performance and assess suitability of the technologies, and monthly sampling
to characterize the water quality from the treatment technologies. To evaluate flow design requirements, data
loggers were selected and installed to record people counts, vehicle counts, scum and sludge measurements, and
flow measurements to characterize usage of the SARA. Based on observed performance, select processes and
treatment trains are tested in combined mode to test for improved performance.

Tall Timbers WWTP Hydraulic Improvements, Liberty Utilities (Tall Timbers Sewer) Corp., Tyler, TX
Project Manager. The Tall Timbers Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is an activated sludge treatment facility
with an existing capacity of 0.445 million gallons per day (MGD). The facility treatment processes includes
screening, equalization, two package treatment plants, each with activated sludge treatment, a clarifier, and a
digester, a third stand-alone clarifier, tertiary filtration, and disinfection. The plant was recently expanded by adding
the third clarifier, equalization and splitter box modifications , a new process blower, a new influent screen, a new
tertiary filter, and a few other minor upgrades. Since the implementation of the expansion, the facility had not been
able to maintain effluent solids below its permitted limits . These operational problems could result in Notices of
Violations (NOVs) from the state regulatory agency for failures to meet discharge permit requirements. The scope
of this project included the evaluation of the operational problems, design work to correct the issues and consistently
produce effluent that meets permit requirements, and construction engineering services .
Amec Foster Wheeler evaluated the hydraulics of the plant and confirmed the preliminary investigation findings of
an imbalance of flow between the aeration basins and then amongst the three clarifiers . Work on this project
included gathering data, survey work, development of alternatives, recommendations and cost estimates, and
design work to correct the hydraulic loading issues. The design included the modification of the upstream splitter
box with a box and weirs to divide the flow proportionally between the two aeration basins; a mixed liquor pump

Water Projects.
Yuma GAC Pilot Study, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest (NAVFAC SW), Yuma, AZ
Project Engineer. The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma water treatment plant uses the Colorado River for
the production of water. Total organic carbon (TOC) in drinking water can combine with chlorines used for
disinfection to form trihalomethane (THM), the primary component of disinfection-by-products (DBPs). An EPA rule
change that created a more stringent requirement for DBP levels requires the MCAS Yuma water treatment plant
to remove TOC and thus reduce the total trihalomethane formation potential (TTHMFP) in the distribution system.
This project is a continuation of the overall investigation into TOC removal using granular activated carbon (GAC).

Involved in providing the cost estimates for two options, a 3 million gallon per day (MGD) GAC treatment system,
and a 1.5 MGD system used to blend GAG-treated water with non GAG-treated water.
The cost estimate work required creating a preliminary conceptual design of both options. The preliminary design
required a site visit, investigation into the current system layout and operation, and the ultimate goals for both
systems . In addition, the proposed GAC system manufacturer was consulted in order to understand the required
piping, pumping, controls and operation including operating pressures and flows required for normal operation and
backwash. Using the conceptual designs, a detailed gross order of magnitude cost estimate was developed for both
options. The cost estimate required supporting detail to substantiate each line item .
Ongoing and future work will include assisting in the creation and review of the final report that includes pilot test
results, evaluation, cost estimates and recommendations.

Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) General Permit (Order
No. 2013-0001-DWQ; Phase II MS4 Permit),
adopted in 2013, for regulation of storm water
discharges to Areas of Special Biological
Significance (ASBS).
Of the 14 Parks authorized to discharge to
ASBS under the Phase II MS4 Permit, storm
water runoff from 24 parking lots at 10 of the
Parks were identified as having the potential
to discharge directly to an ASBS. To be in
compliance, State Parks must implement
structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads in storm
water runoff to levels that will not adversely
affect ASBS receiving waters. Amec Foster
Wheeler prepared a Preliminary Engineering
Report (PER) which summarizes
recommendations for implementation of
structural BMP retrofits at the 24 priority
parking lots. Amec Foster Wheeler has also
provided State Parks with storm water
compliance and technical representation in
meetings and correspondence with various
stakeholders and the State Water Quality
Control Board.
