SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

The Town of Hudson (Town) owns and operates a 0.5 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) under Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) No. COG591104, with an organic loading of 1,043 pounds per day (lbs/d) biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). The existing treatment process consists of a headworks building with mechanical screening, a Fluidyne integrated surge anoxic mix (ISAM) sequencing batch reactor (SBR), sodium hypochlorite disinfection, and sodium bisulfate dichlorination. Treated effluent is discharged to Box Elder

Creek.

Constructed in 2009, the WWTF is in poor condition with a deteriorated building and infrastructure. This year, due to safety concerns, the Town removed the metal building covering the treatment basins and the treatment process is now open air. The demolition exposed the administration building interior wall and a smaller roof structure is nearly complete, providing an enclosed operations corridor.

The Town is expecting growth, and several sizeable developments, including Shaklee, Younger, and Bandimere Speedway. In anticipation of this growth and due to the condition of the facility, the Town needs to proceed with WWTF improvements and expansion. This report summarizes the flow and loading projection, suggested improvements and draft language for a Town issued request for proposal (RFP) soliciting engineering design services for the WWTF expansion.

SECTION 2 – FLOW & LOADING PROJECTIONS

In consultation with the Town, a ten-year planning horizon was selected (2026 to 2036) to project flow and loading and size the WWTF expansion. The Town service area, current and projected flows and loadings are presented in this section.

SERVICE AREA

The Town service area is approximately 19 square miles, shown in Figure 1 from the April 2026

EPS Group Wastewater Master Plan. Key development areas and the WWTF are indicated.

Figure 1 –Hudson WWTF Service Area

POPULATION & TAPS

Based on census data, the Town’s population was 1,651 in 2020 and is currently estimated to be

1,740 people. The historic growth rate is about 2.7% with 3% selected for the ten-year growth projection. The current estimated number of taps is 580 including Hudson Hills. In comparing the population to taps, this equates to approximately 3 people per tap or Single-Family Equivalent

(SFE).

CURRENT WASTEWATER FLOWS & LOADING

The Hudson WWTF 30-day average influent flows from June 2021 through June 2026 are shown in Figure 2. According to the Town, a new flow meter was installed for the effluent around January

2025 and the meters were calibrated. Therefore, the 2025 flow data was used for flow projections.

From January to December 2025, the average day flow was 130,000 gpd and the maximum month average daily flow (MMADF) was 160,000 gpd.

Figure 2 – Hudson WWTF Influent Flow from 2021 to 2026

The organic loading to the Hudson WWTF is based on ECHO data 30-day influent BOD5 concentrations from June 2021 through April 2026 which is presented in Figure 3. From 2023 to

2025, the average influent BOD5 concentration was 402 mg/L with a corresponding organic load of 553 lbs/d.

PROJECTED WASTEWATER FLOWS & LOADING

As noted, the planning horizon is ten years. The wastewater flow and loading projection are based on a 3% population growth rate, assumes dedicated capacity for the Hudson Correctional Facility and the completion of three major developments; Younger, Shaklee, and the Bandimere Speedway.

The correctional facility and properties are described in the following.

1. Hudson Correctional Facility: The facility is currently closed. The inmate capacity is 1,250 people.

2. Younger Property: The 38-acre property is zoned commercial.

3. Shaklee Annexation: The 852-acre parcel is planned as mixed use. According to the 2026

EPS Master Plan, the development is to include 107 acres of light industrial and commercial, 498 acres of residential, 59 acres of oil and gas and other utilities, 138 acres of open space and parks, and 35 acres of roads.

4. Bandimere Speedway: Estimate of 25,000 participants per event.

The design capacity of the WWTF is based on the maximum month average daily flow (MMADF) and corresponding organic load. The ten-year flow and load projections are calculated using the following assumptions:

1.) General flow projections based on a Single-Family Equivalent (SFE).

2.) Maximum month average daily flow (MMADF) at 270 gal/day/SFE

3.) General residential and commercial average BOD5 loading estimated at 300 mg/L

4.) Based on 2011 monitoring data average BOD5 loading for the prison at 450 mg/L

5.) Current population of 1,740 will be approximately 2,340 at 3% growth over ten years, or the addition of 600 people. This equates to 200 SFE and a MMADF 54,000 gal/day. It is assumed that the BNSF Logistic Center development is included in this flow estimate.

6.) The projected prison flow is higher than typical and estimated at 110 gal/day/inmate. This equates to a total projected MMADF of 137,500 gal/day

7.) For the Younger and Shaklee developments

a. 70% of the land is developable

b. 25% floor area ratio (FAR)

c. Commercial at 0.4 SFE/1,000 SF

d. Low density residential at 3 dwelling units per acre.

8.) Younger – commercial - 120 SFE or MMADF of 32,400 gal/day

9.) Shaklee - commercial/residential – 1,372 SFE or MMADF of 370,440 gal/day

10.) Bandimere Speedway: Estimate 5 gal/day/person - 25,000 participants per event or

MMADF of 125,000 gal/day with 20 multi day events per year.

A summary of the flow and loading projection is presented in the following table. As shown, the projected maximum month average daily flow is approximately 0.9 mgd with a corresponding organic loading of 2,400 lbs/day.

Younger 32,400 81

Shaklee 370,440 927

Bandimere Speedway 125,000 313

Total 879,340 2,372

In the ten-year planning for the WWTF expansion a design capacity of 0.99 mgd and organic load of 2,600 lbs/day should be considered. The additional capacity will buffer the calculated flows and organic loads and also stay below the 1.0 mgd permit threshold, where Colorado Department of

Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) permitting requirements intensify.

SECTION 3 – WWTF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS

The existing 0.5 mgd WWTF is proposed to be expanded to 0.99 mgd, essentially doubling the current capacity. The projected effluent limits and improvements are described in this section.

EFFLUENT PERMIT LIMITS

The WWTF operates under Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) No. COG591104, effective December 1, 2024. According to the permit fact sheet, there have been effluent violations for E. coli, BOD, total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, and pH. These variances are most likely the result of the poor condition of the existing infrastructure.

Effluent limits will get more stringent, specifically metals, ammonia and total inorganic nitrogen

(TIN). Currently total effluent metals are reported only and will continue to be monitored. The 30-day average partially dissolved (PD) cadmium (Cd) will be enforced at a limit of 2 μg/L starting

November 30, 2026. The effluent limit for ammonia ranges from 14 to 18 mg/L over the year, and these limits are expected to be lower than 10 mg/L in the future. The current daily maximum limit for TIN is 32 mg/L and will be 10 mg/L starting June 1, 2029. In 2025, the effluent TIN was consistently below 10 mg/L, with inconsistent results in 2024 and 2026. The WWTF expansion must not only increase capacity but also improve the treatment process to meet the anticipated lower effluent limits.

TREATMENT FACILITY EXPANSION

The current treatment process is the ISAM SBR operated using two trains. Much of the piping and ancillary equipment is in disrepair. In keeping up with maintenance, staff have recently replaced critical pumps and devices which had deteriorated in the previously enclosed environment. With the roof now removed the plan is to proceed with an open-air operation and provision of weather protection for specific exposed piping and devices. In doubling the capacity, a second series of

SBR trains is proposed with an enclosed operations room between the basins. A preliminary plan of the treatment scheme is depicted on the next page. The new covered hallway space adjacent to the existing operations rooms is now complete, providing a weather protected access to all the rooms. It is proposed that the existing treatment train be gutted with each basin repurposed to more effectively reduce effluent nutrients while maintaining the SBR concept. This new treatment concept would be mimicked in the two additional trains. A new operations corridor is proposed between the existing and new treatment systems providing a conditioned space for treatment components and operations. The current chemical room, restroom and blower room which are corroded, would be refurbished and in some instances repurposed as part of the improvements plan.

Solids handling must also be improved as part of the project. Biosolids are not currently treated and are hauled as a thin sludge (0.2%) at $50,000 annually. SAM tanks could be repurposed for digestion but are likely required as anoxic/anerobic zones for nutrient reduction. The construction of dedicated digesters with a truck loading facility is suggested (as shown on the cover of this report). The plant expansion and operational improvements are estimated at a project cost range of approximately $12 to $14 million.

Additional recommended treatment improvements and comments are listed below.

1.) The addition of UV disinfection

2.) Influent flow equalization – Bandimere speedway peak events

3.) Refurbishment of the headworks building – corroded systems.

4.) Solids handling equipment at new digesters

5.) Conduct comprehensive influent wastewater characterization to more accurately depict organic concentrations and biological treatment process design.

6.) Review of funding options

SECTION 4 – WWTF EXPANSION RFP

The Town plans to solicit proposals to hire an engineering firm to lead the predesign and design phase services for the WWTF improvements and expansion.
