SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES
FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF
INTERIM "PACKAGE" WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FACILITIES
In addition to the "Local Guidelines for Installation and Operation
of Interim 'Package' Wastewater Treatment Facilities" titled "Interim
Sewage Treatment Plant Agreement for City of Delray Beach, Florida"
approved by City Resolution No. 14-73 on March 26, 1973, the follow-
ing Supplementary Guidelines are provided for the information and
compliance of all concerned. These Supplementary Guidelines are in-
tended to assist in the implementation of existing Guidelines and to
modify same in certain respects.
1. Before applying for permit to construct new interim waste-
water treatment facilities, the applicant must exhaust all possi-
bilities for negotiation with other developers or builders in the
same general area, for possible joint development and use of existing
or planned wastewater treatment facilities. It is most desirable that
the number of such facilities be kept to a minimum insofar as possible.
2. No wastew~ter treatment facility shall be so located as to
constitute an unreasonable nuisance to neighboring properties by
reason of noise, odor, or any other cause. Suitable buffer zone must
be provided to suit the conditions of each individual installation
in order to minimize the probability of such nuisances.
3. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to notify
appropriate neighboring property owners of his intent to install
wastewater treatment facilities in sufficient time for said property
owners to register any objections thereon to the City Engineer prior
to the granting of a permit for installation of said facilities.
4. The following guideline specifications will apply to all
interim wastewater plant designs:
a. Plans and specifications must be prepared, signed and
sealed by a Florida registered Professional Engineer,
qualified in sanitary design.
Upon completion of the installation and prior to
acceptance by the City, the engineer of record will
provide a certificate of completion in accordance
with the approved plans and specifications, or certified
record drawings showing any "as built" modifications.
b. When an interim wastewater treatment facility requires
the installation of a temporary pumping station, a
common power source and control center will be provided
for the treatment plant and pumping station. The control
panel will be equipped with an emergency power receptacle
conforming to the City of Delray Beach standards. In
addition, a portable emergency power generator of
suitable size and capacity will be supplied to the City
for use with each interim plant and its temporary
pumping station.
However, in installations of small treatment plants, not
requiring pumps for continuous flow, the provision for
emergency power will not be required.
c. An alarm transmitter compatible with the City's leased-
wire system will be provided for each treatment plant-
pumping station installation.
d. Ail treatment plants will be provided with sludge-removal
facilities and suitable vehicular access roadway to
accomplish sludge removal by motor vehicle.
e. For some installations, a comminutor may be required,
subject to the service capabilities and requirements
and at the option of the City Engineer.
f. Each treatment facility requiring monitoring of sewage
flow will be provided with a meter with 7-day recorder
chart and totalizer at the option of the City Engineer.
g. In those installations requiring recirculation of sludge,
a sludge flow meter and variable controls will be pro-
vided, if so required by the City Engineer.
h. If at any time during operation period, the need for
chlorination arises, in the opinion of the City Engineer,
the Developer shall provide the stipulated equipment
without cost to the City.
5. When the facilities are completed and ready to be turned
over to the City for maintenance and operation, the Developer will
arrange for a "start-up test" to be conducted by the equipment manu-
facturer's representative, accompanied by the Developer's engineer
and the City Engineer or his representatives.
6. Prior to acceptance by the City, the following will be pro-
vided by the Developer:
a. Manufacturer's manual of operation and maintenance.
b. An appropriate list of parts and equipment that may be
required for proper maintenance.
c. A supply of spare parts or equipment items of a sensi-
tive nature, based upon the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
d. A certificate of warranty or guarantee from the manu-
facturer and Developer for a minimum period of one year
from the date of acceptance by the City.

7. The monthly operation and maintenance charges to be paid
to the City by the Developer for all plants of less than 10,000 gallons
per day design capacity shall be as follows:
At least 9,000 gpd but less than 10,000 gpd $270.00
" " 8,000 gpd " " " 9,000 gpd 240.00
