Document Description
The proposed project involves a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the development of a city facility designed to provide advanced treatment for Title 22 quality recycled water produced at the City of Escondido's Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility (HARRF) for agricultural uses. The facility would utilize membrane filtration [i.e., microfiltration (MF) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes] and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies sized for a total production capacity of 2.0 million gallons per day (mgd). The project consists of two separate buildings (approx. 14,440 SF Chemical Storage Building and an approx. 21,775 SF MF/RO Process Building) to house a variety of equipment, pumps, and electrical, control and storage rooms. The MF/RO facility would be designed to accommodate the installation of future equipment to provide an additional 1.0 mgd of production capacity. Underground storage tanks (90,000 gallon feed tank, 163,000 gallon inter-process tank, and a 970,000 gallon product storage tank) also would be installed, along with various above-ground pipes and holding tank(s). Primary access would be provided from E. Washington Avenue, with secondary access to El Norte Parkway. The perimeter of the site would be secured by a combination of new, six-foot-high masonry walls and decorative open fencing. the project also include a 1,500 kW emergency backup generator.
