Integrated Resource Plan Development and Evaluation<br />

Table 5.3 New or Refined IRP Programs 2013-2043<br />

Program Description Capital<br />

($2012)<br />

Enhanced Overflow<br />

Control<br />

• New program to control selected (19 non-growth and 9 growth already<br />

considered in RWWFP) overflows to a uniform level of 10 overflows<br />

per average year.<br />

• Program is in addition to the RWWFP, which will offset the impact of<br />

growth on overflows.<br />

$173.0 million<br />

New Planning<br />

Programs<br />

• New program to control nutrient (N, P) discharges to sensitive or<br />

limited receiving waters at 10 WWTFs<br />

• Two options were considered:<br />

o Modified RWWFP - upgrade 9 WWTFs - Wellington, Frame, Mill<br />

Cove, North Preston, Aerotech, Middle Musquodoboit, Lockview-<br />

MacPherson, Uplands Park and Springfield Lake to LOT in addition<br />

to the BLT upgrade already under way<br />

o RWWFP - upgrade of 8 WWTFs plus BLT upgrade under way and in<br />

longer-term consolidate BLT into Herring Cove WWTF and<br />

Springfield Lake WWTF into Mill Cove WWTF as per RWWFP<br />

• Additional projects beyond those in Five-Year Capital Plan for<br />

upgrading current WWTFs for compliance with Permit to Operate<br />

• New program responding to Canadian Federal WSER program<br />

requiring upgrade of the 3 HHSP facilities to secondary treatment.<br />

• Enhanced -asset renewal based on - risk-based composite asset<br />

renewal program balancing failure consequences and renewal<br />

expenditures. The composite specifies an individual level of renewal<br />

for each asset category.<br />

• An enhanced program updated through the IRP that integrated<br />

transmission main replacement with growth related expansion<br />

requirements.<br />

• An enhanced program initiated under the Five-Year Capital Plan to<br />

develop <strong>Halifax</strong>-specific I/I sources, reduction feasibility and reduction<br />

costs data at a number of pilot sites.<br />

• A new climate change assessment program intended to examine the<br />

impacts of climate change on <strong>Halifax</strong> Water current infrastructure,<br />

operations and future design requirements<br />

• A new stormwater quality assessment program designed to assess<br />

likely future stormwater quality management requirements<br />

• A number of new planning programs providing comprehensive input to<br />

future IRPs including:<br />

o Water Master Plan addressing the system needs for regulatory<br />

compliance, asset renewal and growth<br />

o Wastewater Master Plan addressing the system needs for<br />

regulatory compliance, asset renewal and growth<br />

o Wet Weather System Plan presenting demand reduction (I/I) and<br />

overflow control strategies as input to the Wastewater Master Plan<br />

o Lead Services Replacement Program<br />

o Water Efficiency Program<br />
