About this file

This document is a water and wastewater capacity memorandum for the USDA Forest Service Buffalo Creek Work Center in Pine, Colorado. The memorandum details the existing water and wastewater infrastructure for a facility currently staffed by 12 personnel with capacity to accommodate up to 80 emergency staff. The facility uses two onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS A and OWTS B), both of which appear capable of supporting an increase in staff from 12 to 28 people without additional unit processes. Municipal water is provided by the Buffalo Creek Water District via a 4-inch main, with a 55,000-gallon storage tank and a 4-inch fire hydrant. The document recommends further conversations with the water district and fire marshal to confirm instantaneous demand and storage availability, and suggests monitoring daily flow and population for one year to potentially rerate the per capita flowrate.

RE: USDA Forest Service Buffalo Creek Work Center – Water and Wastewater Capacity

Memorandum

JVA Job No. 1190e

Dear Phillip:

The USDA Forest Service Buffalo Creek Work Center (Work Center) located in Pine, Colorado provides fire protection and emergency response services to the surrounding communities. The

Work Center is currently staffed by twelve personnel, and can accept an additional eighty on site emergency staff with trucked in port-a-lets and supplies. Wastewater generated at the Work Center is treated with two Jefferson County Environmental Health (Jeffco Health) approved onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). The original OWTS (OWTS A) was designed for the home, and the office. Around 2001, the Work Center added the engine and storage building, and the barracks building. That same year, a second OWTS (OWTS B) was constructed to serve the barracks building, but the engine and storage building connected to existing OWTS A. OWTS A is currently functioning, and OWTS B requires float and pump repairs to be operational. OWTS

A and OWTS B appear to have capacity to support an increase in staff from 12 to 28 people without the installation of additional unit processes (i.e., septic tank, soil treatment area), however both

OWTS are past the standard 20-year operation expectancy and the original Jeffco Health permit files are incomplete.

Municipal water for the Work Center is provided by the Buffalo Creek Water District (District) via a 4-inch main. The water flows and pressure supplied from the main is adequate for current capacities and uses, and appears to have capacity for an increase in staff without an additional service tap. Instantaneous demands across the site are required from a Mechanical Engineer and/or

Architect to confirm if the calculated 270 gpm flowrate is adequate for the increased capacity.

Additional conversations with the District are warranted to confirm instantaneous demand and storage availability. The 4-inch fire hydrant and 55,000 gallon storage tank are assumed to be adequate for current fire demands, however further conversations with the fire marshal are needed.

EXISTING WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE

EXISTING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

The District has a small public water system (PWS ID: CO0130015) with treated water storage. From the 55,000 gallon water storage tank, water flows through 4-inch distribution piping to residents in Buffalo Creek and the Work Center. We have no information on the bury depth or condition of these pipes. There are several water service lines throughout the Work

Center and several water meters that measure usage for the various buildings. There is no indication that existing 1-inch service lines show

Image 1 – 4-inch Fire Hydrant

USDA Forest Service Buffalo Creek

Water & Wastewater Capacity Memorandum

6/5/2023 any sign of reduced capacity or concerns for reliability. There is a 4-inch fire hydrant at the south side of the Work Center, but no hydrant testing info was available from the District or Fire

Department.

EXISTING WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE

OWTS A was likely installed when the original home and office were constructed, no design drawings or permit documents could be found from Jeffco Health, but the Work Center’s address is shown. The gravity collection system was not investigated during the site visit, and Staff didn’t comment on major maintenance issues thus far. At the time of the site visit(s), OWTS A appeared to be functional. Float and pump operations were field tested by a National

Association of Wastewater Technician (NAWT) certified inspector and were found to be operational, see Attachment A for inspection reports. Septic tanks, risers, and lids were in good condition (no major signs of corrosion), but did show signs of pipe settlement around the tank(s).

The soil treatment area (STA) appeared to be functioning, and there were no signs of surfacing effluent or visible growth of biomat.

Wastewater generated from the house flows from a stub-out on the northeast side to an adjacent 1,250-gallon two compartment septic tank (Home Tank), see

Table 1 below. The office wastewater flows from the northwest side of the building to the same Home Tank for preliminary treatment. The engine and storage building wastewater flows from a stub-out on the southwest side of the building to an adjacent 1,000-gallon two compartment septic tank (Engine/Storage Septic Tank). In these septic tanks, solids, fats, oils and grease stratify in the first compartment and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and total suspended solids (TSS) reduce in concentration. Septic tank effluent continues to the second chamber of the tank where further TSS and BOD5 reduction occurs. In the effluent lift station, effluent from the Home Tank and Engine and Storage Tank blends, and is pumped to the original mounded STA on the western side of the property. The control panel is furnished with a hand-off-auto (HOA) switch to control pump operation, float inputs, a pump run timer, and a visual and audio local alarm system. The design flow of OWTS A with corresponding calculations is unknown, but a calculated estimation is included in the wastewater capacity and demands section.

OWTS B was installed in 2001 to serve the newly constructed barracks, see Attachment B for design drawings. At the time of the NAWT inspection, OWTS B was not sending flow to the STA. Float and pump operations were field tested, which showed one pump and several floats out of service.

Tanks, risers, and lids were in good condition. The ductile iron process piping within the effluent lift station was showing significant signs of corrosion and the pumps could not be removed without specialized equipment. The 2001 mounded STA appeared to be functioning, and there were no signs of surfacing effluent or visible biomat growth.

Wastewater from the barracks gravity flows from two separate stub-outs to two parallel septic tanks (Septic Tank A and B) on the northwest side of the building, see Table 2 below. Septic

Tanks A and B are two compartment septic tanks with effluent filters. Septic tank treatment is the same as what has been described from OWTS A’s septic tanks. In the effluent lift station, effluent from Septic Tanks A and B flow through perforated equalization piping, blends in the tank, and is pumped to the 2001 mounded STA on the western side of the property via two submersible effluent pumps. Each pump sends effluent through a dedicated forcemain and corresponding zone on the 2001 mounded STA. The pumps can operate simultaneously from the same float tree in the effluent lift station. The float tree has a high-level, timer override, low level, and redundant off float. The pumps and floats are powered and controlled by an Orenco

Duplex control panel, which is furnished with a HOA switch, float inputs, timer settings, and a visual and audio local alarm system. The design flow of OWTS B with corresponding calculations are unknown, but a calculated estimation is included in the wastewater capacity and demands section that follows.

WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPACITIES & DEMANDS

WATER CAPACITIES & DEMANDS

Water is monitored monthly by the District from flow meters located at the hydrant, office, barracks, house, and the engine and storage building, see Attachment C. Water meter data from

Image 3 – Barracks with OWTS B Tanks

6/5/2023 the hydrant was omitted since it’s not representative of consumptive flows. It’s assumed that hydrant testing, fire flow, and emergency storage are adequate for current capacities, however further conversations with the fire marshal are needed. The engine and storage building flow data showed high use in the winter months of 2021, but was later attributed to water loss from a frozen pipe. Overall, combined water meter data showed approximately 7,500 gallons of water use per month across the Work Center.

To estimate daily water demands, monthly water meter readings were compared with regulatory wastewater values. To account for water consumptive uses, regulatory wastewater values were increased by ten percent. Water for the house, barracks, and future barracks was assumed to be consistent with a boarding and rooming house with users absent during working hours, which has a Jeffco Health wastewater flowrate of 50 gpcd (55 gpcd water). The engine and storage building and office was assumed to be used as office spaces by all staff, which corresponds to the

Jeffco Health office per capita flowrate of 15 gpcd (16.5 gpcd water). As seen in Table 3 below, a calculated daily water demand of 2,002 gpd is needed for a future staff population of 28.

Based on monthly water use of 7,500 gallons and a calculated daily demand of 2,002 gpd, the values show that regulatory derived daily demands could be eight times higher compared to actual use recorded on site. Additional peaking factors were not applied to the daily demands, based on this low monthly water use data.

Instantaneous water flow from the District’s water system was also calculated. The design variables were 4,500 linear feet of 4-inch diameter ductile iron pipe, an elevation difference of

325 feet between the District’s water storage tank and Work Center, an assumed pressure of 60 psi at the Work Center, and no other taps receiving flow. Based on these conditions, the water main could satisfy an instantaneous demand of 270 gpm to the Work Center, see Attachment D for calculations.

Overall, the water system appears to have adequate capacity for current and future demands without additional service taps. Water demands will need to be met with the District’s 55,000 gallon potable water storage tank, which should be attainable. Future instantaneous demand calculations and conversations with the District are required to confirm instantaneous demand availability.

WASTEWATER CAPACITIES & DEMANDS

Existing USDA Forest Service records showed design capacity of 3,250 gpd for OWTS A and

2,250 gpd for OWTS B, but corresponding calculations were not provided. Wastewater design capacities were also not listed in the Jeffco Health database. To calculate wastewater flowrates for OWTS A and B per Jeffco Health standards, assumed uses per building were paired with the associated per capita flowrates from the Jeffco Health OWTS Regulations, and assumed future populations. Wastewater generated from occasional large staff events was assumed to be managed with trucked in port-a-lets.

Wastewater generated from the house, barracks, and future barracks was assumed to be consistent with a boarding and rooming house with users during working hours, which has a

Jeffco Health wastewater flowrate of 50 gpcd. The engine and storage building and office was assumed to be used as office spaces by all staff, which corresponds to the Jeffco Health office per capita flowrate of 15 gpcd. As seen in Table 4 below, for an increase in occupancy to 28 staff the calculated design capacity for OWTS A is 1,020 gpd and OWTS B is 800 gpd.

Based on a calculated design flowrate of 1,020 gpd, OWTS A original design criteria was compared with current Jefferson County OWTS Regulations. As seen in Table 5 below, the design capacity, septic tanks, and soil treatment area are within current regulations for a future staff population of 28. A long term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.8 gpd/ft2 was assumed for the mounded STA, which is consistent with an imported secondary sand given in the Jeffco Health regulations.

CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS

Based on the NAWT inspection, OWTS A system components are in good condition and don’t require additional equipment to meet current regulations at the higher population of 28. OWTS B system components need repair (pumps, floats, process piping), but the tanks and STA are in good condition. No official Jeffco Health permit documents or original design calculations could be found for either OWTS; discussions with Jeffco Health are required to confirm design approach and address the lack of permits.

The existing wastewater treatment systems (OWTS A and B) appear to be sized appropriately for a 28-person expansion, without additional unit processes (i.e. septic tank, STA). The 28-person

6/5/2023 capacity was derived from regulatory per capita flowrates, which are known to be conservatively high. To determine an actual per capita flowrate for the Work Center, daily occupancy can be paired with daily water usage over a one-year period and presented to Jeffco Health to rerate the per capita flowrate. Based on similar facilities, the Work Center per capita flowrate is likely going to be lower than the calculated daily demand, which could allow for additional capacity.

It’s recommended to begin monitoring daily flow and population to the Work Center for one year.

The existing water infrastructure appears to be functioning correctly and is oversized for future demands. Instantaneous demands across the site are required from a Mechanical Engineer and/or

Architect to confirm if the calculated 270 gpm delivery flowrate is adequate. Additional conversations with the District are warranted to confirm instantaneous demand and storage availability. The 4-inch fire hydrant and 55,000 gallon storage tank are assumed to be adequate for current fire demands, however further conversations with the fire marshal are needed.
