Program Management Services for Detroit WWTP
As part of a joint venture with Sverdrup, Wade Trim is providing on-site
program management at-risk assistance to one of the nation's largest,
single-sited wastewater treatment facilities over a five-year period.
The team is rehabilitating and upgrading the City of Detroit's 1.5
billion gallon per day plant to achieve sustained, continuous
long-term regulatory permit compliance. The project work force,
expected to peak at 75 people, will work directly with the plant's
800-member staff. This is the largest contract ever awarded to Wade Trim.

Hawk’s Cay Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade
The Florida Keys Aquaduct Authority is working to upgrade their Hawk’s Cay Wastewater Treatment
Facility to meet Advanced Wastewater Treatment effluent limits by 2010 and provide centralized
service to Hawk’s Cay, Conch Key, and Duck Key communities. Two separate treatment plants will
be converted into a single treatment train and capacity will be increased by constructing another,
similar treatment train adjacent to the existing one. Treatment quality, capacity, and operations
will be maintained during construction using a design-bid-operate-build process that requires the
contractor to prove plant operability and assume operations from 30 days prior to construction
until 6 months after construction is complete.

Ocean Reef Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade
With minimal on-site space for expansion, the North Key Largo Utility Corporation is upgrading their
Ocean Reef Wastewater Treatment Plant to membrane biological reactor technology to meet Advanced
Wastewater Treatment standards. This advanced biological nutrient removal treatment process will
produce a higher quality of effluent within the same approximate footprint. Existing aeration basins
are being retrofitted into a four-stage Bardenpho to achieve nearly complete biological nitrogen
removal and odor concerns will be addressed by covering treatment tanks.

Palm Bay Water Resources Utility Management
The City of Palm Bay, Florida, developed a framework to meet its future wastewater and water reuse
needs. Three master plans were completed for water, wastewater and reuse, and design efforts are
underway to implement projects recommended including water main extensions, sanitary sewer
improvements and reuse distribution systems. In addition, a Computerized Maintenance and Management
System is being implemented throughout Palm Bay’s Utility Department to assist with asset management.

Downriver Regional Storage and Transport System
Wade Trim led a team of consultants in design and construction engineering
of a 10.5 mile tunnel, 75 mgd pump station and 8.5 miles of relief sewer
for Wayne County, Michigan, and 13 communities. The tunnel will transport and store
17 million gallons of sewage to relieve basement flooding and address
sanitary sewer overflows.

George W. Kuhn Retention Treatment Facility Improvements
Wade Trim was part of a team that developed improvements to the George W. Kuhn Drain
RTF in Oakland County, Michigan. The existing facility was expanded and upgraded to increase its volume
and provide adequate CSO treatment, according to permit requirements. Wade Trim
created a three-dimensional computer animation that aided in the design and
was used to show operators how the facility would function. In addition,
a scaled model of the facility was built to calibrate the hydraulic computer
computations to accurately predict basin performance.

Southerly District CSO Early Action Projects
Wade Trim led the design of the Southerly District CSO Early Action
Projects for the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. The projects provide
low cost, high benefit system control and enhancements. The nine projects
use real-time controls and static controls to optimize use of available
collection system capacities to reduce the frequency and volume of annual
CSO (300 million gallons).

Genesee County ARTP Equalization Basin
As part of a multiphase program to increase capacity at the Anthony Ragnone Treatment Plant (ARTP) in
Genesee County, Michigan, enhancements are being undertaken for the ARTP and the Brent Run
and Flushing Park Pumping Stations. The work is being completed to meet the increasingly
stringent NPDES permit requirements and to accommodate future flows projected
by a Long-Range Facility Plan for the collection/treatment system. As part of the
design team, Wade Trim is responsible for designing the wet weather treatment
basin to mitigate sanitary sewer overflows, eliminate overflows at the Brent Run
pump station and conform to the criteria specified in the Long-Range Facility Plan.
The 3 mg treatment facility will serve as an equalization basin for the pump station
wet well and as a treatment facility during wet weather events.

CSO Demonstration Basins in Wayne County, Michigan
Wade Trim prepared the project plan and led the design and construction
engineering team for three CSO demonstration basins, constructed as part
of the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Program. Each of
the award-winning basins, ranging in size from 2 to 3.1 mg, incorporated
different treatment methods that were evaluated for their effectiveness.

Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District Vacuum Sewer Design
Collection system upgrades are underway in Key Largo, Florida, where a government mandate requires
mitigation of the detrimental impact that wastewater is having on coral reefs and other aquatic
life in area waters by July 2010. Wade Trim is designing a vacuum sewer system to serve 1,000 residents
and businesses in one of the Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District’s 11 service areas. Ease
of constructability through the islands’ challenging topography and coral-based lime rock composition
renders this alternative collection system cost-effective and feasible.
