MTWRF - ENR Upgrade of 6 MGD 8-38-S Sewer
   
DESCRIPTION:                  
Upgrade the existing Marlay-Taylor Water Reclamation Facility (MTWRF) from Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) to Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR). Once upgraded, the MTWRF is expected to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater down to 3 mg/l total nitrogen and 0.3 mg/l total phosphorus. 
This cost is only for upgrading the existing MTWRF to ENR and does not account for cost in adding capacity or the ENR upgrade for this additional capacity to the plant. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
PLANNING JUSTIFICATION:  
The Chesapeake Bay has experienced a decline in water quality due to over enrichment of nutrients (mainly phosphorus and nitrogen). The Chesapeake Bay 2000 Agreement requires further reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus entering the Bay by about 20 million pounds and 1 million pounds per year respectively.  Effluent from wastewater treatment plants is one of the top three major contributors of nutrients entering the Bay (urban and agricultural runoffs are the other two). The Maryland Department of the Environment is using the Bay Restoration Fund to upgrade the 66 major wastewater treatment plants, which discharge to the Chesapeake Bay, with enhanced nutrient removal (ENR) technologies.  Once upgraded, these plants are expected to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in the wastewater down to 3 mg/l total nitrogen and 0.3 mg/l total phosphorus, achieving approximately one-third of the needed reduction under the Chesapeake Bay 2000 Agreement.
