As communities continue to grapple with the challenges of managing excess wet weather flow in combined sewer and separate sanitary sewer systems, typical solutions that capture more flow and send to the water resource recovery facility (WRRF) or storage facilities are often cost-prohibitive. Remote (or satellite) wet weather treatment facilities have long been considered an effective wet weather management approach, particularly when traditional conveyance system improvements and other control technologies have been exhausted or are too costly. This webcast will explore the unique aspects of siting, designing, permitting, constructing, and operating treatment facilities located outside the WRRF fence line. Drawing on real-world experience from operating remote facilities, presenters will share lessons learned and practical insights to guide utilities and engineers considering this approach. Key discussion topics include selection criteria for appropriate wet weather treatment technologies, discharge quality goals, cost considerations, and the permitting and operations and maintenance challenges specific to remote facilities. This webcast is intended for utility managers and engineers, municipal engineers, operations staff, regulators, and consultants seeking to expand their toolkit for managing wet weather flows in an increasingly resource-constrained environment.
