Project Experience Sand Canyon Zone A Pump Station and Filtration Facility, Irvine Ranch Water District, City of Irvine, Orange County, California. Project Manager for preliminary design of the recycled water pump station expansion and replacement of pressure filtration facility. This project included a benchscale chlorine residual testing and analysis to determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite required to achieve a 5 parts per million chlorine residual. This was required because the Sand Canyon Reservoir is an open earthen reservoir with aquatic plants and animals and thus forms hydrogen sulfide. The preliminary layout of the facility was comprised of a 10-cfs vertical turbine booster pump station, pressure type rotating screen strainers, a screenings backwash lift station, a sodium hypochlorite which housed 4,000 -gallons of sodium hypochlorite, metering pumps, controls and appurtenances and a new motor control center. North Trumble Recycled Water Storage Ponds, Eastern Municipal Water District, Riverside County, California. Project engineer for design of (9) 150 -hp vertical turbine floating pump stations, (5) pressure sustaining, flow control, and flow metering inlet facilities to the (5) ponds, and (5) outlet metering stations. The project entailed multiple connections from the 24 -inch inlet piping and 16 -inch outlet piping to the 36 -inch and 48 -inch recycled water transmission mains. Extensive coordination with SCE to provide electrical service for the (9) floating pump stations was also required. Pump Stations Design for 82 -Acre Habitat Restoration, City of Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange County, California. Project Manager for design of a 15 -hp vertical turbine floating pump station and secondary 10 -hp in-line booster pump which provided recycled water for the 82 -acre restoration. Each pump station ws equipped with a hydro -pneumatic tank, variable speed controller, isolation valves, a strainer, and a flow meter. Santa Maria WWTP Percolation Ponds Expansion, City of Santa Maria, San Barbara County, California. Project enigneer for design of a 20 -MGD, secondary effluent variable speed operated, vertical turbine pump station and (2) flow diversion structures which consisted of multiple 24 -inch and 20 -inch manually operated sluice gates to route flows to the various percolation basins.
