  1. Feasibility of Aquifer Recharge Using Reclaimed Water in the Tampa Bay AreaMarch 31, 2009 Phil Waller, P.E.

  2. SWUCA and MIA Recovery Strategy

  3. Aquifer Recharge Concepts Indirect Aquifer Recharge Rapid Infiltration Basin (RIB) Direct Aquifer Recharge Recharge Wells

  4. Project Scope of Work • Task 1 – Similar Projects, Hydrogeology, Water Quality, and Permitting Summary • Task 2 – Groundwater Modeling of indirect and direct aquifer recharge concepts • Task 3 – Cost Analyses of selected recharge concepts • Task 4 – Final Summary Report of findings

  5. Similar Projects Review Direct and Indirect Recharge California Groundwater Replenishment System in Orange Co., CA

  6. Similar Projects Review • RIBs in Florida • Commonly used for effluent disposal • Secondary treatment required • Some wetland polishing prior to RIBs WATER CONSERVII – Orange Co. Florida

  7. FDEP Reclaimed Water Treatment Requirements Less Difficulty More

  8. Ambient Aquifer Water Quality Avon Park Formation TDS mg/L

  9. Ambient Aquifer Water Quality Avon Park Formation TDS mg/L Filtration and HLD Meet Drinking Water Standards > 3,000 mg/L

  10. Ambient Aquifer Water Quality Avon Park Formation TDS mg/L Multiple Barriers TOC / TOX 1 Year Pilot Test < 3,000 mg/L > 500 mg/L

  11. Ambient Aquifer Water Quality Avon Park Formation TDS mg/L Multiple Barriers Carbon Absorption TOC / TOX Mutagenecity Testing 2 Year Full Scale Test < 500 mg/L

  12. SWFWMD Permitting • No new groundwater level impacts to the MIA. • Minimum flows and levels established for priority water bodies in the SWUCA. • Net benefit in the SWUCA must be demonstrated.

  13. Indirect Aquifer Recharge Concepts Areas Area 2 – Moderate connection to UFA Lakeland Area Area 1 – High connection to UFA Lake Wales Ridge Area Area 3 – Minimal connection to UFA Engineering Enhancements
