• Installation of treatment facilities at Well 5/6 site is feasible but has challenges <br />including extremely tight access for operational activities, minimal room to <br />expand if additional treatment is needed for future regulations, visual impacts <br />to school and nearby residents, increased schedule risk for CEQA, permitting, <br />and public outreach, and challenging construction. <br />• If the treatment vessels at Well 5/6 site were placed in a building it appears <br />there would be room to accommodate IX treatment, but not GAC treatment. <br />The building would result in additional capital costs (approximately $2 million) <br />and the challenges described above would be heightened. <br />• Installation at Well 8 site offers many benefits including good operational <br />access, room to expand, minimal visual impacts, and less schedule risk due <br />to simplified CEQA, permitting, pu blic outreach, and construction. However, <br />since Well 8 is within the Operations Service Center grounds, improvements <br />would be required to accommodate the City's current non water -related <br />operational use of the area. <br />• Consolidating PFAS treatment at the Well 8 site (i.e. treatment for Wel I 5, 6, <br />and 8 all occuron the site of Well 8) can el i mi n ate con cem s with the Wel I 5/6 <br />site, but requ fres additional capital cost for a pipeline from Well 5/6 to Well 8 <br />(approximate addition of $3 million) and potentially a retu rn pipeline <br />(approximate addition of $2 million). Modification of Well 5/6 pumps and <br />additional energy costs may also be realized. Additional hydraulic modeling is <br />requ fired to refine the scope and cost of piping improvements. Consolidating <br />PFAS treatment at Well 8 does offer additional benefits including <br />consolidation of chloramination and fluoride dosing to Well 8 (eliminating <br />chemicals from the Well 5/6 site which is near homes and a school), <br />simplified repair and replacement improvements at Well 5/6 for non PFAS <br />related components, and potential phased installation of PFAS treatment <br />capacity while maintaining well pumping redundancy. <br />Along with the PFAS treatment feasibility study, Carollo Engineers also performed an <br />assessment of Well 5/6 and Well 8 to recommend improvements that are required to <br />extend the overall useful life of the existing facilities. Technical Memorandum 1 of the <br />July 2020 Water Quality Evaluation includes the details of the assessment and is <br />located at the following link: Water Quality Evaluation. <br />The following summarizes well site improvements included in the PFAS Treatment <br />Project: <br />• Replacementof the following would be required: Well 6 pump/motor, chemical <br />disinfection systems, and electrical distribution and control equipment. <br />• Building modifications and ventilation system replacement. <br />• Site security improvements such as newfencing consistentwith the City's current <br />Risk and Resiliency project. <br />Zone 7 Activities <br />The following provides a summary of Zone 7 activities and coordination related to <br />PFAS: <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
