Recycled Water/Stormwater Harvesting Feasibility <br />Study <br />Port of Long Beach, CA <br />At the ever-growing business hub, the Port adopted the <br />Green Port Policy aimed at implementing environmentally <br />sustainable port operations. The Green Port Policy employs <br />guiding principles for the Ports environmental protection <br />efforts. One of its key initiatives is to reduce potable water <br />demand. The recycled water feasibility study included <br />identifying and evaluating alternative sources of recycled <br />water that could be available to supply the Port customers, <br />evaluating the feasibility of constructing a wastewater <br />treatment plant to be owned and operated by the Port as <br />well as identifying potential recycled water customers, <br />identifying acceptable recycled water uses and preparing an <br />engineer's estimate of probable construction costs for the <br />various identified alternatives. <br />As a separate task, the stormwater harvesting study <br />was performed to evaluate opportunities for stormwater <br />harvesting and reuse. The stormwater harvesting and reuse <br />feasibility study identified infrastructure requirements and <br />costs to capture and reuse all stormwater originating from <br />the Harbor District. The study also evaluated construction <br />and operational impacts on port terminals, and feasibility and <br />costs of diversions from Port stormwater infrastructure to the <br />sanitary sewer. Stantec developed an engineer's estimate <br />of probable construction costs for the various identified <br />alternatives and conducted a triple bottom line benefit cost <br />analysis to prioritize the different opportunities. <br />Key Elements <br />The possible end uses for recycled stormwater were <br />evaluate and quantified, in addition to evaluating the <br />monetary value of harvested stormwater and determine if <br />it could be sold to end users in the Harbor District or water <br />purveyors, or diverted to the planned City of Long Beach <br />Municipal Urban Stormwater Treatment facility. <br />Team Members <br />• Roger Chung, PE, CFM, QSD/P, F.
