J4 Minot AFB Wastewater System

J4.1 Minot AFB Overview Minot Air Force Base occupies 5,090 acres, or approximately 8 square miles, of federally owned land. It is located in northwestern North Dakota (ND), in Ward County, about 14 miles north of the City of Minot. Just off U.S. Highway 83, which parallels the eastern installation boundary, MAFB is about 40 miles south of the Canadian border. It is the home base to two wings, Air Combat Command's (ACC) 5th Bomb Wing (5 BW) and the Air Force Space Command's (AFSPC) 91st Space Wing (91 SW). Minot Air Force Base has been a major Air Force installation for more than 50 years. Minot businessmen donated approximately $50,000 to buy the first portions of land for an air base to be located north of the City.

Approximately 5,745 people are employed by the base. Of this total, 4,533 are military personnel and 1,212 are civilian employees.

J4.2 Wastewater System Description J4.2.1 Wastewater System Fixed Equipment Inventory The Minot AFB wastewater system consists of all appurtenances physically connected to the collection system from the point of demarcation defined by the Right of Access. The system may include, but is not limited to, pipelines, manholes, lift stations, valves, controls, and stabilization lagoons. The actual inventory of items sold will be in the bill of sale at the time the system is transferred. The following description and inventory is included to provide the Contractor with a general understanding of the size and configuration of the system.

The Government makes no representation that the inventory is accurate. The Contractor shall base its proposal on site inspections, information in the technical library, other pertinent information, and to a lesser degree the following description and inventory. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor be entitled to any service charge adjustments based on the accuracy of the following description and inventory.

Specifically excluded from the wastewater system privatization are:

• Oil / Water Separators (OWS)

• Grease Traps

• Storm sewers

J4.2.1.1 Description All domestic and industrial wastewater generated at Minot AFB is collected via a network of an estimated 273,364 linear feet of piping constructed of vitrified clay, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), ductile iron, asbestos cement, concrete, and cast iron. The collection system consists of collection mains, precast manholes, and sewage lift stations.

The collection mains range in size from 1.5 to 24 inches in diameter and are buried at a base-

J4-1 wide average depth of 12 feet. Tracer wire is not included with the non-metallic components. A series of sewage lift stations and associated force mains are located throughout the installation to pump wastewater through the collection system where gravity flow is not possible. There is no separate industrial wastewater system. Industrial wastewater effluent from the aircraft and missile operations, maintenance areas and the industrial areas flows into the sanitary sewer system after being processed through oil/water separators. All collected wastewater flows to the sewage treatment lagoons located in the northern part of the base.

Minot AFB operates a series of stabilization lagoons to treat its wastewater. The stabilization lagoons are referred to as the Minot AFB WWTP (wastewater treatment plant). The stabilization system is comprised of two sets of three facultative lagoons each for a total of six lagoons. Wastewater is discharged to the lagoons where it flows by gravity or is pumped through the lagoon cells, and organic matter is allowed to decompose or settle out. The total liner area of the lagoons is approximately 324 acres with a storage capacity of approximately 345 million gallons. To increase capacity, stabilized wastewater is typically released from the final lagoon in each set twice a year, in the spring and fall, as necessary.

The flow from the stabilization lagoons is discharged off base through three permitted outfalls. Minot AFB was issued a North Dakota Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPDES) Permit, No. ND-0020486 by the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDH), Division of Water Quality in July 2004. This permit authorizes Minot AFB to discharge stabilized wastewater from the treatment lagoons to unnamed tributaries of Egg Creek through Outfalls 003, 001, and 011. There are six other outfalls (004, 005, 006, 007, 008, and 009); however, the permit states that there shall be no discharges from these outfalls except for emergency bypasses in accordance with the permit. Minot AFB has approximately 140 Acres of easements associated with the discharge of the lagoons. These easements will be transferred upon sale of the wastewater collection system.

J4.2.1.2 Inventory Table 1 provides a general listing of the major wastewater system fixed assets for the Minot AFB wastewater system included in the sale.

J4.3 Specific Service Requirements The service requirements for the Minot AFB wastewater system are as defined in the Section C, Description/Specifications/Work Statement.

J4.4 Current Service Arrangement Minot AFB owns the sewage collection and treatment system that serves the base. All wastewater is collected in one of six lagoon cells. The flow from the stabilization lagoons is discharged off base through three permitted outfalls. Minot AFB was issued a North Dakota Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPDES) Permit, No. ND-0020486 by the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDH), Division of Water Quality in July 2004. This permit authorizes Minot AFB to discharge stabilized wastewater from the treatment lagoons to unnamed tributaries of Egg Creek through Outfalls 003, 001, and 011. Lagoon 3, which is preceded by Lagoons 1 and 2, discharges through Outfall 003; Lagoon 5 discharges through Outfall 001; and Lagoon 6 discharges through Outfall 011. The permit also authorizes Outfall 010 to receive groundwater and/or lagoon seepage from an interceptor drain that runs along the northern boundary of the northeast lagoon system. There are six other outfalls (004, 005, 006, 007, 008, and 009); however, the permit states that there shall be no discharges from these outfalls except for emergency bypasses in accordance with the permit.

J4.5 Secondary Metering None.

J4.6 Monthly Submittals The Contractor shall provide the Government monthly submittals for the following:

1. Outage Report. The Contractor’s monthly outage report (blockage and overflow information) will be prepared in the format proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the Contracting Officer.

J4.12 Right of Access to the Utility System No leased property was identified with the Wastewater collection system.

J4.13 Request for Proposal (RFP) Requirements for Privatization of Wastewater Treatment Plants to Private Owners The Air Force currently operates the WWTP as a Federally Owned Treatment Works, as defined in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) § 3023(d), 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 6939e(d). Proposals from prospective Offerors shall demonstrate whether the Offerors propose to own and operate the WWTP as a Federally/Publicly Owned Treatment Works or as a Privately Owned Treatment Works. Prospective Offerors who propose to own and operate the WWTP as a Federally/Publicly Owned Treatment Works shall obtain a declaratory ruling from an appropriate tribunal showing that such Offerors can own and operate the WWTP as a Federally/Publicly Owned Treatment Works and setting forth any conditions which must be met in order for such Offerors to so operate it.

J4-11

J4.13.1 Demonstration of Process Necessary to Treat the Entire Waste Stream treated at the Wastewater Treatment Facility If the WWTP becomes a Privately Owned Treatment Works neither the Offeror nor the Government will be able to take advantage of the RCRA domestic sewage exclusion set forth in RCRA Section 3023(a), 42 U.S.C. § 6939e. Offerors who propose to own and operate the WWTP as a Privately Owned Treatment Works are required to demonstrate the process they will use to deal with the entire waste stream currently treated by the wastewater treatment facility. The proposal must outline clearly and completely how they propose to mitigate any increased cost of operation resulting from the generation of waste by the Government, which may contain hazardous waste and which must be treated without the benefit of the RCRA domestic waste exclusion. It must be emphasized that the Government will provide such information as is currently available regarding the composition of the waste stream, but does not warrant or represent this information as complete regarding what hazardous waste may be in the waste stream currently treated by the wastewater treatment facility. This is due to the fact that the Government has operated the wastewater treatment facility under the domestic waste exclusion provided by 42 U.S.C. 6939e, which is not available to Privately Owned Treatment Works. Privately owned Offerors must also demonstrate how they propose to accept and process waste without adversely affecting operating permits and licenses which apply to the WWTP. In addition, such Offerors must identify those potential legal responsibilities that it will undertake with a description of the actual and potential economic impacts to the Government of those retained legal responsibilities the Contractor will not or cannot undertake.

J4.13.2 Capital Upgrades Necessary to Pretreat or Dispose Wastewater Offerors who propose owning and operating the WWTP as a Privately Owned Treatment Works, shall fully demonstrate their understanding of this operational risk by including in their proposals a full description of any capital upgrades necessary to pretreat waste before it enters the facility, or other proposed disposition method, as well as the operational changes necessary to ensure the operation of the plant is in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local operating requirements. If any studies are required to evaluate those costs, they shall be included in such proposals, along with a description of the licensing and permitting process that will be required in order for the Offeror to own and operate the WWTP as a Privately Owned Treatment Works.

a) In addition to the requirements of Section C.3.1, “Utility Service Requirement”, the Privately Owned Treatment Works shall also be responsible for the pretreatment and management of all wastes discharged to the Air Force treatment plant.

Responsibility and liability for all costs shall include, but not be limited to any applicable regulatory requirements due to the absence of the RCRA waste exclusion (including any RCRA requirements that may apply to any facilities currently sending waste to the wastewater treatment works). Offerors are on notice that the current wastewater collection system mixes waste from a variety of sources, and the Government cannot specifically identify all potential individual sources of hazardous waste.

b) In addition to the requirements of Section C.3.2, “Performance Standards”, specifically regarding the Quality Management Plan, Offerors proposing to operate

J4-12 the WWTP as a Privately Owned Treatment Works shall address hazardous waste generation, characterization, storage, treatment, reduction, disposal, and management in the Quality Management Plan.

c) In addition to the requirements of Section C.7, “Response to Service Interruptions/Contingencies and Catastrophes”, Offerors proposing to operate the WWTP as Privately Owned Treatment Works shall address hazardous waste monitoring and the impact of, and the planned response to, the receipt of hazardous waste at the WWTP in the Service Interruption/Contingency Plan.

d) In addition to the requirements of Section C.10, “Environmental Compliance”, Offerors proposing to operate the WWTP as Privately Owned Treatment Works shall address the disposition of all RCRA listed wastes currently being discharged to the Air Force treatment plant.

e) Privately Owned Treatment Works shall be responsible for any additional requirements/costs, to include, but not limited to, treatment, operations and waste disposal due to the loss of the domestic sewage exclusion. These processes shall be specifically explained in the proposal and the costs shall be included in the proposal.

J4.13.3 Ownership of Effluent The new owner shall own all effluent, as stipulated by Section C.3.6, “Wastewater Effluent Disposal”, originating at the Points of Demarcation described in Section J4.12, “Right of Access to the Utility System”.

J4.13.4 Satisfaction of Applicable Licensing and Permitting Requirements In addition to the requirements of Sections C specifically regarding the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit obtained pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1342 (or analogous state law), the Offeror's proposal shall demonstrate how it proposes to satisfy applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state and local licensing and permitting requirements established by federal, state, and local law and whether or not, as a Privately Owned Treatment Works, it will be able to obtain all necessary licensing and operating permits. If not, the Offeror shall describe who will hold the licenses and permits and the impact on operations as well as the potential economic consequences to the Government of the Offeror not holding the licenses and operating permits required for the ownership and operation of the WWTP.
