Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Wastewater Management (WWM) Division is requesting approval of an emergency acquisition of operational consulting from a private, consulting engineering company, Carollo Engineers. The Paseo Real Wastewater Reclamation Facility has experienced pin floc in the clarifiers that have caused overloading of the disc filters, resulting in effluent exceedances for total suspended solids and E-coli. These exceedances prevent the delivery of re-use water to users that hold contractual agreements with the city to supply them with re-use water. This condition also results in permit exceedances of the NPDES permit covering discharges to the Santa Fe River. Without professional assistance and consultation to remediate the issue with chlorine, this condition could continue.
