A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR STATE REVOLVING FUND GREEN
PROJECT RESERVE FUNDING FOR PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION
OF REPLACEMENT AERATION BLOWERS AT WHITE SLOUGH WATER
POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY;AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL RELATED DOCUMENTS
WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has a program that, in
the form of a grant, forgives up to 50 percent of the loan principal for Clean Water State
Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Green Project Reserve (GPR) projects; and
WHEREAS, for projects to be eligible, GPR projects must qualify for CWSRF funding,
address water or energy efficiency; mitigate storm water runoff; or encourage sustainable
project planning, design, and construction; and
WHEREAS, the requested CWSRF funding is intended to replace two of the four
existing constant-speed aeration blowers with variable-speed blowers. The variable-speed
blowers will be used in concert with the existing blowers to pace the aeration demand by either
speeding up or slowing down, as demand varies. This operational method is much more energy
efficient than using inlet throttling valves to restrict the air being delivered by the constant-speed
blowers. The replacement blowers are expected to save the City's wastewater utility
approximately $250,000 per year in energy costs while providing more-accurate aeration
dosage control; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to apply
for the State Resolving Fund Green Project Reserve Funding for purchase and installation of
replacement aeration blowers at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility and authorize the
City Manager to execute all related documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to apply for State Revolving Fund Green Project Reserve Funding
for purchase and installation of replacement aeration blowers at White Slough Water Pollution
Control Facility and authorize the City Manager to execute all related documents.
