DSRSD employs 38 people in the operation and maintenance of <br />the DSRSD Treatment Plant. The DSRSD Treatment Plant currently has a capacity to treat 17.0 <br />mgd of raw sewage, as well as 3.2 mgd of capacity for brine discharges from a permitted <br />groundwater demineralization facility. The current average dry weather flow is approximately 11.5 <br />mgd and peak flow capacity is 74 mgd. Discharges from the DSRSD Treatment Plant are <br />conveyed to San Francisco Bay by LAVWMA using the deep water outfall owned and operated <br />by EBDA. See “THE LIVERMORE-AMADOR VALLEY WATER MANAGEMENT AGENCY”. <br /> <br />The DSRSD Treatment Plant provides primary and secondary treatment and disinfection <br />for the discharges conveyed by LAVWMA to EBDA for disposal in San Francisco Bay. In addition, <br />some of this flow that would otherwise be discharged is diverted for tertiary treatment via filtration <br />and UV disinfection, and it is then recycled for landscape irrigation and other non-potable uses. <br />Primary treatment is a physical process that removes solids that settle out of the wastewater, as <br />well as floatable materials such as cooking oils and grease. Secondary treatment is a more <br />complex, biological process that uses bacteria to convert dissolved organic matter into suspended <br />matter that settles out and can then be removed and further treated for land disposal. DSRSD’s <br />tertiary treatment facility includes an approved (by Regional Water Quality Control Board) sand <br />filtration tertiary treatment with 12.3 mgd capacity and ultravioliet disinfection system approved to <br />be operated at up to 17.6 mgd. <br />
