Project Scope: (a) The City of Palm Springs is proposing to install twenty (20) Big Belly cordless solar powered trash compactors in heavily trafficked areas of the downtown business district. These twenty (20) trash compactors will replace sixty (60) existing conventional open trash compactors which, in turn, will reduce the frequency and number of trash collections that must be performed by City workers. The goal of this project is to replace all one hundred fifty (150) existing trash compactors with a total of sixty (60) Big Belly solar-powered compactors over a three (3) year period. The City hopes to reduce COz emissions from the vehicles used to service the trash compactors in the target area by 79% over a five (5) year period (Please see accompanying charts). Garbage truck fuel consumption is the worst of any vehicle type, at an estimated rate of 2.8 miles per gallon. Garbage trucks are a major source of particular soot, COZ and NOx. Compounding the effects of these emissions is the fact that they are being emitted in the closed-in area of downtown where buildings block airflow. (b) If funded, the twenty (20) solar-powered trash compactors will be ordered and deployed immediately upon receipt in the targeted heavily trafficked areas of downtown Palm Springs. Funding Proposal to Coachella Valley Air Quality Advisory Committee September 25, 2007 (c) The Big Belly Cordless trash compactors are fully enclosed solar-powered trash compactors which provide point of disposal trash compaction in much the same manner as a kitchen trash compactor does. Each unit is constructed of heavy gauge metal. The units do not require any special equipment to operate, or service, and are fully compatible with current operations. An internal sensor senses when disposed of trash reaches the top of the internal container and automatically activates a ram that compacts the trash. The only internal moving part is a chain driven wheel that causes the ram to compact trash. All power to operate the compactor is derived from solar power, which charges a battery. The battery can hold a charge for up to two (2) weeks. Because trash is compacted at the point of disposal, the Big Belly compactors do not have to be serviced as frequently by City street crews. Big Belly compactors are currently in use in San Diego, Anaheim and Santa Monica. The compactor can hold up to ten (10) times as much trash as the compactors currently being used by the City. This will reduce the frequency of collection from seven (7) to three (3) times per week. Less collection will result in fewer and shorter trips in the downtown area with garbage trucks emitting particulates, smog, and toxic air pollutants which affect us all, particularly small children and the elderly. The City has already successfully field tested these compactors during a 90-day pilot program which began on Monday, April 16�h. Compactors were positioned in the high traffic area outside and adjacent to Starbucks on South Palm Canyon Dr. At various times during the course of the pilot program, the City's Recycling Coordinator visited the subject area to observe usage of the compactors, to ask visitors, patrons and business owners their opinions of the viability of the compactors, and to evaluate the reliability of the compactors in a downtown environment. The City received nothing but positive feedback on the compactors from the public and business community. The pilot program ended on July 16th. The City held a post pilot program meeting with City maintenance workers that serviced the Big Belly compactors during the pilot. These workers commented that instead of emptying the existing compactors daily, they could empty the Big Belly compactors every third day. The workers also noted that there were no mechanical problems with the Big Belly compactors, nor were there any jams of the compactors. When establishing the pilot program, the City set forth two main goals; (1) increasing service levels while also reducing staff time to collect trash in the downtown area; and (2) reducing the emissions from City vehicles involved in downtown trash collection by reducing the number of times per week trash receptacles needed servicing. Currently, there are one hundred and fifty (150) open trash compactors in the downtown area. If funded, the City plans to purchase twenty (20) Big Belly compactors which will 2 Funding Proposal to Coachella Valley Air Quality Advisory Committee September 25, 2007 replace sixty (60) existing compactors. The City of Palm Springs will work to replace all existing trash compactors with the Big Belly compactors over the next three (3) years. (d) The cost of each self-contained solar-powered unit, including applicable taxes and shipping, is $4,270. The total cost of twenty units is $85,400. To help offset the cost of this program, the City of Palm Springs is asking for air quality funding for one-half of the initial purchase cost, or $42,700 for the first twenty units. The City intends to cover the balance, as well as the additional costs to purchase the remaining units in the second and third year of the program. (e) The City is asking for funding in the amount of $42,700 and will match that amount to purchase the initial twenty (20) Big Belly Trash Compactors. (fj Currently, the City is the sole participant in this project, but we have spoken with the State of California about possibly funding a portion of this cost for future purchases of additional Big Belly units to be placed in the downtown area also. Submitted by: ro L. Butzl�ff, P�sistant City Manager 3 Coachella Valley Air quality Enhancement Projects Technical Proposal Summary In response to the Coachella Valley Air Quality Enhancement Projects Request for Proposal (RFP) from the County of Riverside, the City of Palm Springs, California, has prepared this Proposal to install and operate a renewable energy project that will enhance air quality in the Coachella Valley. Our proposed project involves the use of anaerobic digester gas as a renewable energy resource. Use of this currently wasted renewable energy resource will enhance air quality in the region in two ways; 1. The project will reduce the City's dependence on public utility electrical generation thus eliminating a proportionate burning of fossil fuel in local generation stations and 2. It will remove contaminants from the digester gas and more efficiently combust the methane gas in on-site pumping systems and future cogeneration facilities. The proposed project will involve the design and installation of a gas treatment system to purify the anaerobic digester gas(ADG) produced via the solids treatment processes at the City of Palm Springs wastewater treatment plant(WWTP). The City will select a gas treatment system vendor to provide the design, fabrication and installation of a biogas processing system, which will be installed downstream of a new biofilter and be designed to provide further removal of H2S, along with additional treatment for the removal of moisture, particulate, siloxanes and trace organic compounds commonly found in ADG. The ADG treatment system will make it possible to use the anaerobic digester gas in existing plant systems, including two internal combustion (IC) engine-driven pumps and the digester heating boiler. Raw gas quality precludes the use of ADG in the existing IC engine-driven pumps, both due to air emissions Issues and equipment maintenance issues. The ADG is occasionally used as a fuel for the digester heating boiler; however, without treatment, its use can result in increased maintenance and repair on the boiler. A description of the background of the project, major project elements and key design criteria is provided in the subsections which follow. Background The City of Palm Springs owns a 10.9 MGD secondary wastewater treatment plant, located at 4375 Mesquite Avenue, Palm Springs, CA 92264. The main wastewater treatment processes at the plant include primary sedimentation, secondary treatment using trickling filtration, secondary clarification and discharge to percolation ponds. The processes used for solids handling at the WWTP include gravity thickening, anaerobic digestion and dewatering using sludge drying beds. Currently, about 85,000 cubic feet of anaerobic digester gas is generated daily. The ADG is used in the digester heating boiler, when feasible, with the balance burned in a waste gas flare Continued growth in the service area and other factors are expected to increase daily ADG production to about 110,000 cubic feet within the next five years. The energy value of the ADG is currently about 185,250 therms per year. The digestion process only requires about 69,500 therms per year; therefore, only 37.5% of the ADG is needed for the digestion process and 62.5% (116,750 therms per year) is diverted to the waste gas flare. As a part of the trickling filtration process, the WWTP has both electric motor-driven and internal combustion (IC)engine- driven pumps available for use. In this particular application, the electric motor-driven pumps are less efficient and overall plant energy management is enhanced by preferential use of the IC engine-driven pumps. At one time,the ADG was used as the primary fuel for these pumps; however, the lack of proper pretreatment of the ADG resulted in maintenance problems with the engines and fouled the Catalytic converters used for NOx emissions control, making it impossible to reliably meet the AQMD air emissions limits for the engines using ADG as the primary fuel. Accordingly, the use of ADG as fuel for this equipment was ceased and purchased natural gas became the primary fuel. The IC engine-driven pumps have been operated extensively over the past several years and continue to be used when possible, fueled by purchased natural gas. Based on the observed total plant natural gas consumption, the estimated heat rate of the engines, the pump curve and the historical operating schedule of the IC engine-driven pumps, it is estimated that the total natural gas purchased to operate the pumps is about 85,750 Therms per year, based on the plant operating data for the period from August, 2005 through July, 2006. Operating schedules for these pumps will vary from year to year, but this appears to be a reasonable average utilization rate to use for future projections. During this same year, total purchased natural gas was 117,900 Therms; therefore the remaining plant thermal loads were 32,150 Therms per year. Fuel for the IC engine-driven pumps represented about 73%of the total purchased natural gas during this particular year. Since current ADG production is about 185,250 therms per year and the digester boiler only requires Coachella Valley Air Quality Enhancement Projects Technical Proposal 69,500 therms per year, it would appear that the net ADG that is currently wasted (115,750 therms/year) would be sufficient to fuel both IC engine-driven pumps. This is generally true; however, digester heating requirements vary somewhat on a seasonal basis and there may be times during the coldest winter months that there may be a slight deficit in ADG with regard to simultaneously meeting both energy demands. We estimate that the completion of the proposed ADG Treatment Project will result in a net reduction of purchased energy at the WWTP of approximately 72,500 therms per year at current ADG production levels, growing to a reduction of about 85,750 therms per year in the next five years This represents a reduction in the total amount of fuel (purchased natural gas plus ADG) that is combusted on-site annually, which also reduces the attendant air emissions from the combustion of untreated ADG in the digester boiler and the waste gas flare. Anaerobic Digester Gas Treatment System When utilizing ADG,there are critical process areas that must be addressed to ensure proper operation and longevity of the process and equipment. The most important area is in properly processing the gas before combustion. Most of the problems observed in the field with equipment and systems using ADG are not associated with the technologies of the ADG users. Instead, most of the problems are due to improper fuel processing before combustion. Since ADG has many constituents that are detrimental to rotating equipment, combustion and power generation equipment, it is essential that these constituents are identified and the fuel processing equipment is designed to ensure proper removal of these harmful contaminants from the gas to levels appropriate for the technology of the ADG users. ADG contains many contaminants, with the largest being a significant amount of entrained water in the gas which must be removed prior to compression and supply of this gas to the users. One of the other major contaminants is siloxane, which must be removed to a very low level prior to being used to fuel any type of internal combustion engine, microturbine or fuel cell. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can be problematic due to it mixing with water in the gas and forming Carbonic acid, which is extremely detrimental to most process equipment. There is also H2S(Hydrogen Sulfide, an acid) in biogas which needs to be removed prior to the fuel processing and compression. Without treatment, virtually all of the H2S in the ADG is emitted as SO2 when the ADG is combusted,either in an engine, boiler or flare. Generally speaking, treatment of ADG begins with a process to reduce the H2S to an acceptable concentration, as most H2S removal processes are designed to operate on wet gas streams. A variety of technologies are available for this purpose, including biofllters, iron sponge media filters and others. Depending on the initial H2S concentration, a combination of two processes may be appropriate. Initial gas testing found the H2S content of the digester gas to be about 1,900 ppm by volume. Based on these results, we propose to install a two-stage system, including a biofilter followed by an iron sponge to reduce HZS to levels less than 40 ppm by volume. Based on current ADG quantities, we project that the installation of the proposed treatment system will reduce combined annual SO2 emissions from the digester boiler and flare by about 9,400 Pounds of SO2 per Year. Within five years this SO2 emissions reduction is projected to increase to about 12,200 Pounds of SO2 per Year. This reflects an average reduction in direct SO2 emissions of from 4.7 to 6.0 Tons of SO2 per Year within the next five years, increasing thereafter as ADG quantities continue to increase due to service area growth and other factors. To remove the entrained water it is critical that the dew point of the gas be lowered significantly prior to the gas entering the gas compression cycle and then ensuring that this dew point is not approached until after the compression cycle is complete. Once the compression cycle is complete it Is important that the dew point be further lowered to ensure all of the water is out of the gas prior to the gas being sent to the filtration system where the rest of the detrimental constituents are removed. For optimum performance, the gas is often preheated upstream of the filtration system. The City proposes to use a Bio-Spark Biogas Processing System The Bio-Spark system uses a design and process flow which has proven to remove harmful contaminants down to non-detectable limits. Each Bio-Spark system is designed and built specifically for the particular site conditions (after a complete gas analysis) and is sized to carefully match the output and generation technology used 0 -- - - - - - - -------------- -- Coachella Valley Air Quality Enhancement Projects Technical Proposal Program Schedule The City anticipates that this project, as described in the technical section will require a minimum of six to eight months to complete. There will be a four-week period during which initial project engineering and additional ADG sampling and testing is conducted. An initial meeting will be held during this time frame with the County of Riverside to review technical and cost information as well as to gain approval of the planned project management and administration process. The quarterly and final report outlines will be submitted for approval at this time. The South Coast AQMD will also be contacted relative to re- permitting of the existing IC engines for operation using ADG. Following that meeting, permit applications will be prepared and submitted. We are projecting about 12 weeks for detailed design, fabrication and delivery of the ADG treatment system, during which time permit processing will take place Once the equipment is on site, we expect that all construction, start-up and testing will be completed within a period of about 8 weeks. Following that, we have allowed an eight-week period for preparation of final project documentation and close-out. Project Organization As discussed at the start of this section, the City of Palm Springs Is the Proposer and will subcontract with technology vendors and constructors to implement this project. Veolia Water Constructors, Inc., is a California-licensed contractor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Veolia Water North America-West, LLC,the operations, maintenance and management (0&M)services provider to the City of Palm Springs for their wastewater treatment Plant.

The team of Veolia Water and Calpwr is uniquely qualified to provide the services required for this project on behalf of the City of Palm Springs, and they bring a wealth of experience in wastewater treatment plant operations, energy management and cogeneration system design to this project. Veolia Water has many years of experience operating the City of Palm Springs wastewater treatment plant and is fully conversant with all aspects of the proposed ADG treatment system and its integration into the operations at this plant. Additionally, Veolia Water and Calpwr have previously worked together on the engineering design, construction, installation and start-up of an ADG treatment and 400 KW cogeneration system for the wastewater treatment facilities at Gresham Oregon; a client for which Veolis Water provides contract operations, maintenance and management (0&M) services under a long-term agreement. Moreover, the Veolia Water project team members have worked together with Calpwr to evaluate ADG treatment and cogeneration systems at several other Veolia Water 0&M project sites, including: Richmond, California, Great Falls, Montana, as well as their work with our City. The team structure that the City of Palm Springs is proposing, as discussed throughout this Proposal, provide for the City as the sponsoring agency (Proposer), and Veolia Water, teamed with Calpwr of San Diego, to provide the design, fabrication and installation of the Bio-Spark Biogas Processing System. The detailed design, supply and construction of the system will be by Calpwr, who will also provide ongoing operation and maintenance support under a five-year contract, with provisions for annual renewals thereafter. Veolia Water has worked with Calpwr in similar projects and has found them to be eminently qualified in the area of anaerobic digester gas treatment system design and fabrication Calpwr will be responsible for the detailed design of the gas treatment system, including: sizing and selection of equipment; procurement of system components and equipment items; assistance with air permitting efforts; system fabrication, delivery and installation. The design of the initial H2S removal stage (biofilter) will be completed jointly by Calpwr and Veolia Water and integrated into the overall system design by Calpwr, including procurement of system components and equipment items; system fabrication, delivery and installation. To accomplish field erection and installation, Calpwr may subcontract portions of the work to qualified local construction contractors licensed in California. System start-up, testing and initial operation will be provided by Calpwr, working in conjunction with the Veolia water project and operations team personnel. Calpwr will provide an extended guarantee and long-term maintenance agreement covering full service, repair and media replacement during the initial five years of system operation, with options to extend the maintenance contract to ten years. This will assure that the system will be properly maintained and that system performance and up-time/evailability will be maximized. The City's Team may employ other local California registered specialty consultants where required to prepare project documentation, such as design drawings, air permit applications and/or to provide specialized testing services, such as gas analysis or soil testing, as appropriate. It is not anticipated that these services will constitute a significant portion of the project budget.
