<br />'" <br />'\ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Determine cost effectiveness of the reclamation/recycling system - capital cost and operational cost <br />versus water savings, replacement water cost, convenience factors, etc. will be tracked and <br />evaluated. . <br />Determine possible and practical water savings for the reclamation/recycling system looking at <br />replacement water costs and reduced water use. <br />Determine scalability of the reclamation/recycling system as it relates to smaller and/or larger <br />applications. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Proiect Approach: <br />Design and construct a reclamation and/or recycling system for installation and operation in the Denver <br />Metro area. Utilize photo-essay and documentation techniques to record planning, design, construction, and <br />operation of the system, with regular updates to State and local web sites, and other publicly available media <br />channels. Project will also include development of research paper documenting planning and design, <br />construction and operational issues, as appropriate. Include detailed documentation of those evaluations <br />listed above (i.e., technical feasibility, cost effectiveness, water savings potential, and scalability). <br /> <br />Technology to Evaluate - Satellite Recycling System <br />Satellite water reclamation system involves the construction and operation of a self-contained non-biological <br />treatment system along an existing trunk-line of a municipal wastewater collection system to collect and treat <br />50,000 to 100,000 gallons of wastewater a day for use as non-potable irrigation water. This application is <br />ideal for public parks and/or golf courses located near existing wastewater collector sewers and lift stations. <br />Non-biological treatment technologies are available that can be used to achieve safe, non-potable irrigation <br />water for on-demand application. <br /> <br />The satellite reclamation system has wide application to the Colorado Front Range communities and to any. <br />medium to large size municipality in the state that maintains parks, green spaces, and golf courses. Although <br />water rights must be considered prior to developing an application, many growing municipalities that utilize <br />non-tributary groundwater and/or transmountain diversions may have water that can be utilized for <br />reclamation purposes. <br /> <br />Brief Description of the Issues for the Satellite Site Reclamation Demonstration Proiect <br />Demonstration $350,000 - 450,000 <br />Project <br />Estimated Cost ($50,000 CWCB Demonstration Grant Request) <br />Applicability to Wide Applicability to Municipalities and Home Owner Enclaves with <br />the Front Range Non-tributary Groundwater, Reuse Credits, Transmountain Water <br />Applicability to Same as above <br />Colorado Statewide <br />Permitting Issues Some issues related to monitoring of irrigation water and public notice of <br /> activities - Technology has potential waiver as a pilot <br />Public Acceptance Limited concerns if appropriately managed (similar applications exist in <br />Issues StatelFront Range) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
