Describe Non-Federal Funding Condition <br /> This task will describe the "no project" option, i.e. what actions the City would take if Federal <br /> funding were not provided for the proposed reuse project. <br /> 5b. Define Objectives of the Project <br /> Provide a statement of the specific objectives all alternatives, including the water reclamation <br /> or recycling projects, are designed to address. <br /> 5c. Description of Non-Title XVI Alternatives <br /> If the water reclamation supply options were not implemented, the other options available to <br /> the City include contracting for additional surface water and importation of groundwater from <br /> other basins. <br /> (1) Identify options for additional water supplies excluding reclamation projects: Evaluate <br /> potential future supply options for: <br /> a. Contracting for additional surface water <br /> b. Importing groundwater from other basins <br /> (2) Describe the non-Title XVI alternatives, including treatment and conveyance facilities. <br /> (3) Include maps illustrating the proposed alternatives. <br /> (4) Prepare estimates of life cycle cost based on available information in the most recent <br /> Region L Water Plan and other available water supply studies. Present the costs in terms <br /> of dollars per acre-foot and dollars per thousand gallons. <br /> 5d. Describe Potential Project Elements <br /> This task will identify project elements that, when assembled into project alternatives, will <br /> achieve water quality and water quantity goals.These project elements may consist of any of <br /> the following: <br /> (1) Treatment technologies employed to achieve water quality performance goals <br /> a. For potable reuse, advanced treatment technologies, including filtration, RC, and <br /> advanced oxidation processes (AOP) will be considered. Alternative treatment <br /> technologies, such as nanofiltration or ozonation and biofiltration, will also be <br /> considered. <br /> b. For nonpotable reuse, it is assumed that treatment will meet TCEQ Chapter 210 <br /> Type I water quality standards. <br /> (2) Location of any advanced treatment facilities <br /> (3) Conveyance infrastructure, including pipelines, pumping, and storage <br /> 5e. Determine Waste Discharge Requirements <br /> Describe waste-stream discharge treatment and disposal water quality requirements for each <br /> of the alternatives. <br /> (1) Evaluate alternatives for disposal of concentrate for treatment schemes that generate <br /> concentrate streams (such as reverse osmosis) <br /> a. Determine expected concentrate water quality based on available data. <br /> 7 <br />
