Strategic Plan about 540 million gallons (1500 acre-feet) of storage and a peak disposal rate of about 6 mgd. Because the present peak possible demand is only about 3.7 mgd, it would not be practical to store and dispose at a higher rate. Based on this, reclamation is only possible for a part of the effluent produced. EBMUD estimates that only an average annual amount of 1.18 to 1.35 mgd can be reclaimed; however, this reduces the amount requiring advanced treatment from 4.5 mgd to 3.1 mgd. Any reduction in the amount of flow discharged is attractive because it will reduce the operating costs of meeting the more stringent effluent limitations. Currently no additional treatment is given to reclaimed water used at the Lew Galbraith and Alameda golf courses. This is because these courses have restricted access by the public with little contiguous residential development. Under Title 22, these facilities would require no further wastewater treatment prior to discharge. Staff at EBMUD predict that reclamation for the Tony Lema Golf Course and Oyster Bay Shoreline would require full Title 22 requirements including filtration and 90-minute chlorine contact time. This additional treatment would be required because these facilities have unrestricted access and/or contiguous residential development. Projected costs for expanding reclamation to the identified users is given in Table 6-7. For the purposes of this analysis it is assumed that additional treatment would be provided at the WPCP and an additional reclaimed water pump station and force main would be required for use at the Tony Lema and Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline. Storage will not be required because facilities are proposed to meet peak demand. To fairly compare treatment strategies the costs of each strategy must be developed. Table 6-8 shows costs developed based on meeting the new effluent limits in the recently adopted San Francisco Bay Basin. Under this scenario, both EBDA dischargers and EBMUD will be required to add high lime treatment facilities. 00142.001 6--8 MIKIRMI
