II. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
In conjunction with a private development, the City had an evaluation completed to review
options for splitting the Hidden Valley Lift Station service area into two service areas. This
would include installation of a new Valley Center Lift near the intersection of Valley Center
Drive and the Valley Center Spur Road. The analysis was incorporated into a Technical
Memorandum (attached) and submitted to the City Commission for approval as an addendum
to the current (2015) Wastewater Collection Facility Plan Update. The approved alternative
was for the new Valley Center Lift Station to be designed to convey a peak flow of 1620 gpm,
have an inlet pipe size of 15" and a 12" force main. The City is the contracting agent for the
project. The project will be paid for using ARPA funds supplemented by City funds if necessary.

Re: City of Bozeman (Wastewater Collection Facility Plan Update)
Baxter Creek Drainage Basin Analysis
Date: December 19, 2022
1 PURPOSE
The City of Bozeman (City) is currently experiencing heavy development pressure within its
existing service boundary. As a result, a number of proposed developments have recently
inquired to the City about developing in future service areas that are located just outside the
City's existing service boundary. These particular areas have been identified and reside within
the City's long-term buildout boundary, are in the county, and currently do not have the required
City services or infrastructure necessary to meet City standards or support development.
Although the City fully anticipates to eventually build regional services to support these parcels
that could annex and join the City, immediate capital planning needs generally focus on areas
within the existing service boundary and may not meet the immediate needs of developers.
Therefore, new parcels that annex into the City and want to develop in the short-term are
generally told two options by the City. The development can either wait for the City to build the
necessary regional infrastructure or build the necessary infrastructure identified within the City's
facility plans utilizing their own funding sources.
Typically, these facilities are identified in the City facility plans and include regional lift stations,
force mains,pressure reducing valves, transmission mains, and other large scale infrastructure to
name a few. These particular types of projects can be cost prohibitive to the developer as well as
technically challenging.

RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System
Baxter Creek Drainage Analysis
December 19, 2022
Recognizing the challenges associated with development near the City's service boundaries, the
immediate need for additional housing, and the large upfront costs associated with regional
infrastructure, the City requested AE2S to analyze future lift station alternatives, explicitly
within the north part of the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin.
The City's existing wastewater facilities collection plan (June 2015) had identified the need for a
single large regional lift station to serve the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. Figure I shows the
Baxter Creek Drainage Basin, which is approximately 1,300 acres and is directly west of Davis
Lane and north of Cattail Street. Most of the property located within the Baxter Creek Drainage
Basin comprises of large unannexed vacant parcels, in which local developers have been
inquiring to the City about annexing and ultimately developing.
The focus of this analysis and technical memorandum is to evaluate future lift station alternatives
within the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. Specifically, servicing the drainage basin with two
smaller regional lift stations vs a single large regional lift station, future considerations of two lift
stations, and ultimately whether two lift stations is a practical approach for the City to consider
in their long-term facility planning.
The final recommendations (Section 7) from this technical memorandum amend the adopted
2015 facility plan and will be utilized as a basis of planning for the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin
moving forward. In addition, the results will be incorporated into the City's wastewater facility
plan update, which is anticipated to be completed spring of 2023.
The following sections provide a technical discussion of the analysis performed as well as the
final recommendation to the City.
2 MODELING PARAMETERS
The City's wastewater collection system model (InfoSWMMv.14.7) was used to assess the
collection system under wet weather full-buildout conditions. The Draft Bozeman Wastewater
Collection System Facility Plan Update, hereafter known as the BWWCS, established the
following design and wet weather analysis criteria based on requirements from the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the City, and recommended industry standards.
• Design Storm for Wet Weather Event:
0 25-year, 24-hour
o Storm Depth: 1.99 inches
o SCS Type I Distribution
• Minimum Velocity for force mains:
Page 2 of 13

Technical Memorandum
RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System

December 19, 2022
0 2 feet per second (ft/s) (MDEQ standard)
0 3 ft/s (City standard)
• Maximum Velocity for force mains:
o 8 ft/s (MDEQ standard)
• Maximum Gravity Sewer Flow Depth d/D:
o 0.75 (City standard)
• Minimum Pipe Slope:
o Per MDEQ and City Standards.
• Base Groundwater Flow:
o 550 gallons per acre per day(gpad)
• Domestic Wastewater Loading:
0 1,270 gpad for Urban Residential growth areas.
0 2,100 gpad for R4, High Density Residential (20 units per acre) growth areas.
3 SINGLE REGIONAL LIFT STATION
In both the adopted facility plan and the Draft BWWCS, a single regional lift station, referred to
as the Hidden Valley Lift Station (HVLS) was identified to serve future development within the
Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. Figure 2 shows the HVLS location, facility planning collection
network layout concepts, and the overall Baxter Creek Drainage Service boundary area. In
addition, the figure also shows a small portion of drainage area located within the Baxter Creek
Service boundary that could possibly gravity drain to the east into the adjacent Cattail Creek
Drainage Basin (Davis Lane). The gravity drainage area shown in Figure 2 is strictly for high-
level planning purposes, facility planning sizing considerations, and ultimately to provide the
City staff with a general understanding of topological conditions in the planning region. The
final collection system layout for the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin is highly dependent on future
development within the basin, utility and infrastructure layouts, tie-in locations, and site specific
grading.
It should be noted that the City strictly prohibits wastewater flow transfers into
neighboring basins or commonly referred to as "basin jumping". Maintaining long-term
drainage basin integrity and allocated modeled capacity must be preserved. As such, the
City has maintained a strict policy on drainage basin integrity.
Although this analysis has identified portions of the Baxter Creek Drainage area that
could potentially gravity flow into the adjacent basin,facility sizing is based on the entire
drainage area. Based on discussions with the City, any new developments that could
potentially gravity drain into the adjacent basin would need to be reviewed and analyzed
on a case by case basis.

Think 83g.Go Beyond. www.ae2s.com
Technical Memorandum
RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System
Baxter Creek Drainage Analysis
December 19, 2022
The conceptual layout for a single lift station would require a minimum 15-inch trunk sewer
main on Valley Center Rd to service the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. The 15-inch main would
collect wastewater flows from the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin developments and covey the
flows to the HVLS. The peals wet weather flow into the lift station was modeled at 2,230 gallons
per minute (gpm). Wastewater that enters the regional HVLS would then be pumped via a 14-
inch force main to the existing 27-inch interceptor sewer on Davis Lane near the intersection of
East Valley Center Road. At the connection point in Davis Lane, the wastewater flows by
gravity across the interstate into the City's Davis Lane Lift Station and is finally pumped to the
City's wastewater recovery facility(WRF). For this facility planning level analysis the size of
the regional HVLS was based on the growth area being primarily Urban Residential with a
domestic wastewater duty factor of 1,270 gpad established in the Draft BWWCS. As the City
moves towards final implementation of the lift station, the wastewater duty factors should be
revisited and verified against proposed zoning to ensure adequate capacity exists for future
development.
4 CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIFT STATION ALTERNATIVES
As stated previously, recent development requests have identified the need for City provided
services in the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. The most recent facility planning efforts have
identified a need for a regional lift station in the northwest corner of the Baxter Creek Drainage
Basin that would service the entire basin. However, given the location and easement
requirements, a single lift station for the drainage area could be difficult to implement in a timely
fashion. Furthermore, regional concepts that the City is currently studying could possibly reduce
the need for the HVLS in the long-term.
Therefore, to expedite sewer utility service in the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin, the City
requested an evaluation of future lift station alternatives. Specifically, servicing the Baxter Creek
Drainage Basin with two smaller lift stations vs a single lift station.
Lift station and collection system concepts were evaluated based on lift station capacity, future
service area, and overall feasibility based on the following criteria:
• Groundwater Considerations:
o Propensity for Inflow & Infiltration (I&I). Portions of the City's wastewater
service area experiences high ground water which results in high infiltration in the
City's collection system.
■ Discussions with City staff concluded that the alternatives should consider
that shallower sewer is preferred due to high ground water and I&I within
the region.

Think Big.Go Beyond. v) 'j AIF�S www.ae2s.com
Technical Memorandum
RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System
Baxter Creek Drainage Analysis
December 19, 2022
■ A higher base groundwater infiltration rate was assumed given the
location and measure wet-weather inflow information at the WRF.
• Constructability:
o Construction located within the City right-of-way (ROW): Deep sewer(i.e., 20-
ft)requires wider trench width and may require installation within the road.
Deeper and wider trenches also require higher restoration efforts and costs.
o Availability of maintenance equipment and access to infrastructure: The City's
maintenance equipment currently supports sewer depths of approximately 15 ft.
Deep sewer will require additional maintenance equipment or external contracting
to complete maintenance and system repairs. In addition,the depth requires a
larger excavation and easement area,which could be difficult to obtain.
■ Discussion with City staff concluded that deep sewer should be avoided
when other feasible options exist.
• Consideration of Davis Lane Service Area:
o A portion of growth area has the potential to gravity flow to either the trunk sewer
in Davis Lane or to the future lift stations within the Baxter Creek Drainage
Basin. Each alternative was evaluated with and without the contributing flow for
the portion that could gravity flow to Davis Lane for planning purposes. Given the
high uncertainty for future development as well as allocated capacity within the
system, facility sizing is recommended for the full contributing area.
o Gravity service connections to the Davis Lane trunk sewer are highly dependent
on grading and the layout of future developments. Recommend sizing is based on
full contributing sewer shed area and modeled demand allocations. Any future
connections would need to be evaluated and approved by the City on a very strict
case by case basis.
5 LIFT STATION ALTERNATIVES
Two lift station alternatives were identified and further evaluated for delaying or replacing the
regional HVLS identified in the Draft BWWCS with smaller lift station options. The alternatives
include a second lift station within the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin,which would be located on
the south side of East Valley Center Road located east of Stubbs Lane near the East Valley
Center Spur Road intersection. This location is advantageous for the City given its location
within the sewer shed, location near a future City collector intersection (Ferguson Road), and
suitable drainage area topography.
For the analysis, both alternatives are located in the same area within the hydraulic model;
however, varying lift station depths were considered for each evaluation. The varying depths can
Page 5 of 13
Think Big.Go Beyond. www.ce2s.com
Technical Memorandum
RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System
Baxter Creek Drainage Analysis
December 19, 2022
increase the overall service area of the lift station and is an important factor for lift station sizing
as well as maintenance. The two alternatives considered include:
Alternative 1 -The first alternative considers a shallow lift station (<15 feet service depth)
Alternative 2 -The second alternative considers a deep lift station (>20 feet service depth).
For planning purposes, both alternatives 1 & 2 will be referred to as the Valley Center Lift
Station (VCLS). Both alternative 1 & 2 hydraulic analyses are discussed and summarized in
more detail in the following paragraphs.
5.1 Growth Area Sewer Shed Delineation
The growth area topography was reviewed in detail utilizing City provided LiDAR information
to determine possible sewer shed delineations between the Davis Lane interceptor, the regional
HVLS, and the proposed VCLS. The growth areas are summarized and broken down into the
following five sewer sheds.
1. Area within the drainage basin that could flow by gravity to the HVLS.
2. Area within the drainage basin that could flow by gravity to the VCLS.
3. Area within the drainage basin that could possibly flow by gravity to the Davis Lane
interceptor(adjacent sewer shed).
4. Area within the drainage basin that could flow by gravity to either the VCLS or the Davis
Lane interceptor.
5. Area within the drainage basin that could flow by gravity to either the VCLS or HVLS.
Figure 3 provides an overview of the conceptual sewer sheds within the Baxter Creek Drainage
Basin. Table 5.1 provides a summary of serviceable sewer shed acreage relatable to the
identified growth area within the drainage basin. Review of the sewer sheds indicates that the
VCLS alternatives have the potential to serve between 623 to 774 acres. As stated previously, for
lift station and infrastructure planning, it is recommended that the City assumes all flow that
could gravity drain into Davis Lane be contributed into the VCLS. The final service area will
largely depend on the lift station depth and final layout of the sewer network with future
developments.

*Acreages are approximate.
**Given the topography in this area,the analysis assumes that all sewer flows from this small 19 acre area would gravity drain into Davis
Lane.
5.2 Alternative 1 —Shallow Valley Center Lift Station
Alternative 1 evaluates a shallow VCLS. Figure 4 presents the sewer shed delineation for the
shallow VCLS. Note that the shallow VCLS has the potential to serve 623 acres, which includes
the area identified that could be gravity fed into the Davis Lane interceptor. The modeled peak
flow into the lift station under this condition is 1,620 gpm. The recommended force main size
for this flow rate is 12-inch flowing at a velocity of 4.6 ft/s. The recommended trunk gravity
sewer entering the lift station is 15-inch sewer with an approximate invert elevation of 4,587 ft
which is estimated to be about 14 ft below grade.
Depending on the final design, the shallow VCLS pump size could potentially be reduced to as
low as 1,230 gpm if more service area connects directly to the Davis Lane interceptor. However,
the recommended force main would remain as 12-inch which would flow at a velocity of 3.5 ft/s.
The recommended gravity sewer size is unchanged.
Table 5.2 provides a summary of the major infrastructure components required for the shallow
VCLS. The table also provides size considerations for flows with and without the Davis Lane
service area.

Alternative 2 evaluates a deeper Valley Center Lift Station (deep VCLS). Figure 5 presents the
sewer shed delineation for the deep VCLS. Note that the deeper VCLS increases the potential
service area to 774 acres, which includes the area identified that could be gravity fed into the
Davis Lane interceptor. The modeled peals flow into the lift station under this condition is 2,015
gpm. The recommended force ).Hain size for this flow rate is 14-inch flowing at a velocity of 4.2
ft/s. The recommended trunk gravity sewer entering the lift station is 15-inch with an
approximate invert entering of 1,481 ft which is estimated to be about 20-25 ft below grade.
The deep VCLS pump size could potentially be reduced to as low as 1,625 gpm if more service
area connects directly to the Davis Lane interceptor. The recommended force main would
remain as 14-inch which would flow at a velocity of 3.4 ft/s. The recommended gravity sewer
size is unchanged.

The deep lift station for Alternative 2 increases the future service area within the Baxter Creek
Drainage Basin accessible to the lift station, however, this concept requires sanitary sewer to
reach depths of greater than 15 feet (around 20-25 ft). Given the high groundwater within the
drainage basin, increasing the sewer depth would create greater susceptibility for I&I and
increase maintenance/access costs due to equipment needs. Based on discussion with City staff,
existing excavation equipment can access mains around 15 ft in depth. Lastly, increasing the
sewer depth proportionally increases the necessary trench size required for deep sewer. A very
high-level cursory review of available right-of-way (ROW) along Valley Center Road showed it
would be difficult for the City to keep construction within the ROW. Thus, potentially requiring
off-site land acquisition and additional equipment for long-term operation and maintenance
(O&M).
6 CONSIDERATIONS FOR BAXTER CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN FULL BUILDOUT
As the northwest growth area fills in and development continues to push the existing City
boundary, future development will require construction of the HVLS. The City has
infrastructure sizing to consider for the buildout of the HVLS network with regard to the VCLS
alternatives. City considerations for full buildout of the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin and
associated lift stations is discussed in further detail below.
• Alternative 1 -Shallow VCLS: The first alternative for the VCLS included a shallow lift
station. The shallow VCLS provides two options for the City to consider for the buildout
of the HVLS and associated sewer network.
o Option A: The City could decommission the shallow VCLS at some point in the
future and re-route wastewater flow that typically would go to the VCLS to the
Page 9 of 13

RE: Bozeman Wastewater Collection System

west. Flow from the VCLS would enter a new gravity sewer that would run west
(18 inch trunk main) along East Valley Center Road. The City would then
construct the Regional HVLS as originally conceptualized in the 2015 facility
plan and Draft BWWCS. On the other hand, if a regional option becomes viable
the City could still decommission the shallow VCLS at some point in the future
and re-route the wastewater flows to the west towards a regional facility. Thus,
eliminating the need for lift stations to service the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin
altogether. Figure 2 provides a general overview of regional HVLS or regional
option.
The concept for the shallow VCLS keeps the lift station relatively shallow. This
concept addresses City related concerns around O&M, higher than average
groundwater levels, and considers future gravity flow to the west. Again, by
keeping the station at higher design elevation the sewer hydraulics would allow
the station to be decommissioned to either gravity flow to a single large lift
station or a regional facility at a future date.
o 0j2tion B: The second option is to keep the shallow VCLS in service for the long-
term and construct a smaller HVLS to support the entire build-out of the Baxter
Creek Drainage Basin (Figure 4). This option addresses the immediate need of
providing sewer service to the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin as well as the long-
term buildout of the service area if a regional solution or single-lift station does
not become a viable option.
While this concept would result in two smaller City owned and operated lift
stations, it does provide the City with smaller upfront infrastructure costs and
greater build-out flexibility when compared to the single regional HVLS concept.
• Alternative 2 -Deep VCLS
o Under this concept both lift stations would remain separated into the future and
removes the option of decommissioning the VCLS (Figure 5) because of depth.
The primary consideration between a deep VCLS and shallow VLCS is that the
overall lift station depth plays a critical role in the sewer layout and long-term
hydraulics in the basin. A deeper VCLS eliminates the option to gravity flow to
the west at a future date, thus making the lift station a necessity for future
planning scenarios. While this concept results in two lift stations and provides a
level of flexibility in near-term as well as a larger service area. The concept does

not address flexibility for long-term planning needs and operation concerns
highlighted previously.
A summary of the buildout of the major infrastructure components for the HVLS network is
presented Table 6.1. The table provides a summary of HVLS infrastructure required for VCLS
Alternatives 1 and 2. Alternative 1 also considers sizing both with and without the Davis Lane
service area as it impacts the total flows to a regional lift station concept.

7 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on feasibility criteria, City input, and modeling results, AE2S recommends the
construction of the shallow Valley Center Lift Station (Alternative 1). Alternative 1 provides the
City with a near-term solution to expand sewer utility service in Baxter Creek Sewer Basin while
providing long-term planning flexibility and satisfying City O&M issues. Additionally, the
location of the VCLS is near a major City intersection and transportation corridor, which is
advantageous when laying out future sewer networks and necessary support infrastructure, such
as force mains.
The recommended infrastructure for the shallow VCLS is as follows:
• Peak Flow: 1,620 gpm
o This assumes most of the area (or 623 acres)west of Davis Lane and east of
Stubbs Lane would contribute future wastewater flow into VCLS.
o Base Groundwater Flow= 550 gpad.
o Domestic Wastewater Loading= 2,100 gpad.
• Force Main Size: 12-inch
• Trunk Sewer Size: 15-inch

o (approximate invert: 4,587 ft or about 15 ft below grade)
The final recommendations from this technical memorandum amend the adopted 2015 facility
plan and will be utilized as a basis of planning for the Baxter Creek Drainage Basin. In addition,
the results will be incorporated into the City's wastewater facility plan update, which is
anticipated to be completed spring of 2023.
The City requested an AACE Class 5* cost estimate be developed for the recommended
alternative which is attached in Table 7.1. The Class 5 cost estimate for the shallow VCLS is
$5.2M. The lift station cost estimate includes a wet well with submersible pumps and building to
house force main flow metering, backup generator, and associated appurtenances similar to the
Davis Lane Lift Station recently constructed by the City.
*The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering(AACE)provides guidelines for the general principles of estimate classification to
project costs estimates. The Class 5 cost estimate serves to provide high level guidance for strategic planning and concept screening for projects
with a wide accuracy range with construction costs ranging from-50%to-20%below the estimate to+30%to+100%above the estimate.
