Esthetic, and then Energy Recovery as well. I also wanted to show you this just to provide you a snapshot from our actual design model because we did design it in a bama 3d model to get you to appreciate the complexity. I showed you the pretty aboveground structures. I want you to see what the contractor has to face. Basically when you look at this, all the different colors represent different waste streams, whether its treated and untreated sludge, wastewater, chemicals, all being laid adjacent to each other. Remember, im connecting to the existing Wastewater Treatment plant and i also wanted to point out you see those vertical looking piles on the bottom of each buildings, those are piles and based on the last count i got theres 132,000 piles to go along with the 220 cubic yards of soil that are going to be excavated. Remember the digesters in the buildings are 65feet tall, but theres probably about two storeys of infrastructure and pipe galleries and equipment below those. Again, 22
Student. It really encompasses a community effort. School districts has made a number of security updates including cameras gates fencing scattered along the perimeter of the campuses. Tune in tomorrow for more of our special backtoschool coverage. We will introduce you to bay area teachers and students moving into a brandnew 100 million facility after spending several years in portable classrooms. A journey is about to start the triplets and their brother. They are all attending university of southern cal at this fall. Amy johnson was there for their move in day to learn about their inspiration. Reporter in a sea of more than 3000 students moving into usc a certain for some stands out from the crowd. It is crazy. We are going to live in the same residence hall. If we need anything we can go back and forth. It is pretty easy. Reporter 17yearold triplets are incoming freshmen. 19yearold brother was in a transferring sophomore. That is how the cookie crumbles. We all applied to a variety
Some of americas first climate refugees. Mireya villarreal is showing us what is being done to save them and the way of life on tonights eye on earth. When i was six or seven years old. Steve is a member for almost two centuries his people fished, hunted and farmed. Now the land is in danger of being lost to climate change. Salt water did all of this . Salt water did all of this. Rising sea levels and the intrusion of salt water from the gulf of mex destroyed much of the islands gnarl prote s natur barriers. There is only one way on or off the island, and you are looking at it right now. When major storms blow through the area anyone can be washed out. Even a relatively weak category 1 storm like hurricane barry which hit here in early july could have devastating effects. It is barry that brought the most water compared to the larger storms. It is so much of my upbringing and so much of my identity from who i am to where i live. Soon, all he will have left are memories of the island wh
Good afternoon. Im carolyn shoe and im the senior project manager for the biosolids digester facilities project. So the biosolids digester facilities project is the largest project in the sfip. Here is an aerial of the southeast plant. As you know, it is a critical portion of our infrastructure, providing treatment for close to 80 of the citys wastewater and stormwater, but also one of our oldest facilities. So the purpose of this project is to completely replace the aging facilities and construct new facilities adjacent to the existing plant as shown here in the blue outline. Basically through this project were rebuilding one half of the southeast plant. So with this project we have a rare opportunity in front of us to really build from the ground up, basically start off a blank page for these facilities. So basically were you know, we went through a robust planning process where we identified and addressed future and longterm operations and regulatory needs. We had applied modern, mo
So that we hope that will cover all this stuff that we didnt really know about at 35. Then if we go to 65, we can assess were we close when we start identifying things. Then the same thing for 95. So that is we can actually present the risk because i think thats important of how do we manage risks. The other thing i want to point out is that were starting to move away from programming of like a program other than the water program, wastewater program, Capital Programs, and power Capital Programs. So i dont think were going to have a Sewer System Improvement Program or a water System Improvement Program and identify a subset of water projects. I think what were going to do is treat all water as one program. As part of the the capital tenyear plan we will put money aside in a contingency for all water. So were trying to figure out how to treat these enterprises as one Capital Program versus having a subset, because theres other construction thats going on in water and wastewater other th
