SECTION 5:IDENTIFICATION OF E‐CAMP PROJECTSThis section provides project background, description, justification and project delivery information forpotential projects that have been identified through the E‐CAMP process. The purpose of this section is toprovide an organized reference for E‐CAMP projects both that are recommended for funding in the next fiveyears and for potential future projects. In general, more detail has been developed for the projects that areanticipated for implementation in near term. A more conceptual description is provided for projectscurrently planned for implementation beyond the next five years.E‐CAMP projects are developed based on a needs assessment, triggered by either asset age or EWA staffobservations. Needs based on asset age are assessed through a condition assessment of the equipment,which determines the assessed useful life remaining and considers the criticality of the equipment. Somestaff observations result in a project with design criteria in which the Agency management team reachesconsensus during the E‐CAMP process, and these projects are added to the list. These projects include adesign phase prior to the project implementation phase. Other observations require a special study toaddress an issue or concern that is identified, which will identify a specific E‐CAMP project at a later time.Potential projects are given a unique project number. As projects are completed, the project descriptions areremoved from this Section and projects are listed by year completed in Appendix A. Projects may beremoved from consideration for other reasons; for example the project may not meet the $50,000 E‐CAMPproject threshold and may addressed by the General Services Group, the project may be combined with adifferent project, or the project may not meet cost/benefit requirements and therefore be eliminated fromconsideration. The Comprehensive Project List in Appendix B provides a listing of historical, current, futureand eliminated projects.5.1 Liquid Process ImprovementsThis sub‐section identifies potential liquid process improvement projects.5.1.1 HeadworksP‐1.1.005Grit and Screenings Handling Facility RehabBackgroundThe existing grit and screen handling facilities wereinstalled as part of the 1980 Phase III Expansion. BarScreen No. 2 was replaced in 1998 and Bar Screen No. 4was replaced in 2006. Components of Bar Screen No. 4were also replaced in 2011 after they were damaged. InFY 2012 the Grit and Screenings Handling Study wascompleted, including a condition assessment of thefacility. In addition to recommendations based on assetcondition, the study evaluated alternative screeningsremoval and handling, grit removal and handling, andventilation. The study recommended additionalevaluation of odor control requirements.Figure P‐1.1.005Bar Screen ConveyorE FY2014 E‐CAMP Report 2012‐12Dec.docx 29 December 26, 2012
