Lompoc_Wastewater_Master_Plan_Volume_III_-_Executive_Summary.pdf

This document is Volume III - Executive Summary of the Lompoc Regional Wastewater Reclamation Plant Master Plan, prepared by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants in September 2002. The master plan serves to update a portion of the existing 1972 Master Plan for the Lompoc Regional Wastewater Collection and Treatment System, focusing specifically on the Lompoc Regional Water Reclamation Plant (LRWRP). The project is intended to address long-range wastewater treatment needs for the City of Lompoc over the next 20-30 years, with a comprehensive approach to addressing process-related concerns, obsolescence, and physical condition assessments. The master plan is structured in three successive construction contract stages: Phase I - Planning (completed for Stages 1 and 2), Phase II - Design, and Phase III - Construction, with a timetable beginning in January 2003 and extending through July 2019.

The document outlines significant regulatory and technological upgrades required for the wastewater treatment facility, including meeting new effluent requirements from the Central Coast RWQCB and California Toxics Rule (CTR). The current plant, which receives wastewater from the Vandenberg Village Community Services District, Vandenberg Air Force Base, and the City of Lompoc, has a dry weather capacity of 5.0 mgd and operates at approximately 4.0 mgd. The master plan proposes various improvements across multiple areas, including nitrogen and metals removal, disinfection alternatives, solids treatment, electrical and instrumentation systems, and structural repairs. The total project is staged with estimated costs ranging from $304,000 for Stage 1 to $3.2 million for later stages, with an overall focus on meeting environmental safety regulations and improving treatment capabilities.
