Problem Definition
Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) Permit Must
have a MPDES permit to discharge wastewater The City of Glendive
was issued a new MPDES Permit
in December 2007 Permit contains many new monitoring, reporting and
Permit contains many new monitoring, reporting and
recording requirements Compliance schedule to meet future permit
limits
Problem Definition
Wastewater Disinfection Currently no disinfection of discharged
effluent
Exposed Biosolids Vector Attraction

Evaluation of Existing System
Existing and Design Flows Design Flow with West Glendive 1,100,000
gpd Design Flow without West Glendive 800,000 gpd
Evaluation of Existing System
The Collection System comprised of 22 miles of pipe, manholes, and
5 lift stations
The Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) consists of a three-cell
facultative lagoon system with discharge to Glendive Creek
Collection system installed between 1906 and 2007 - Mostly before
1930
Lagoons originally constructed in 1959-1960 Upgraded in 1976 and
1996
Evaluation of Existing System
Facultative Lagoon 3 cells (21.1, 24.1 & 25 acres) Aeration
transfer structures Discharge to Glendive Creek No effluent
disinfection
Evaluation of Existing System
Identified Deficiencies Existing Treatment can not meet some
existing and
future permit limits Collection (Minor)
Gravity sewer lines have some O&M issues such as slow flow,
root problems, and flat slopesflow, root problems, and flat
slopes
Lift Stations (Minor) Backup power to two lift stations, SCADA
system to tie all
together, possibly new pumps at Husky
Collection and lift stations are minor deficiencies compared to the
treatment deficiencies
Alternative Screening Process
Irrigation Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Package
Mechanical Treatment Plant Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)
Mechanical Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) Mechanical
Treatment Plant Lagoon/Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor
(Lagoon/MBBR)
Storage & Irrigation
Storage & Irrigation Advantages & Disadvantages
Avoids ammonia toxicity & WET issues Avoids nutrient & TMDL
issues Currently no discharge permit required Future regulatory
permitting? Limited expansion capability Water rights (New
Legislation) Large land area required
New SBR/BNR Site Location
Advantages & Disadvantages Change point of discharge to
Yellowstone River Meets ammonia toxicity & WET permit limits
Provides greatest treatment of all alternatives Pending nutrient
& TMDL Can be upgradedCan be upgraded
Lagoon/MBBR Site Plan
Lagoon/MBBR Reactor Layout
Lagoon/MBBR Hybrid
Advantages & Disadvantages Change point of discharge to
Yellowstone River Meets ammonia toxicity & WET permit limits
Provides greater treatment than existing lagoons Pending nutrient
& TMDL Easy to operateEasy to operate Can be upgraded into IFAS
system to meet future
regulations but expensive
