WASTEWATER
Project:
Wastewater/Reclamation System
Client:
Infineon Raceway
Brelje & Race provided preliminary engineering, permitting,
design, operation and maintenance manuals, and construction
management for Infineon Raceway’s wastewater pumping, treatment,
and reclamation system. Infineon Raceway is located in
southeastern Sonoma County very near the San Pablo Bay. Events
at the Raceway can have over 100,000 spectators on race day. In
1998 the raceway planned a $50 million infrastructure expansion
that would produce upgrades to every part of the raceway and
spectator facilities. Fresh water on the site was in short
supply. The upgrade included a new wastewater treatment plant,
effluent storage reservoir, and irrigation system and well as a
complete potable water system that required surface water
treatment. A master water balance for the two systems were
integrated together to answer combined water and infrastructure
needs. Landscaping upgrades were limited to what could be
accommodated with recycled water. A unique zero discharge
wastewater system was devised that accommodates extreme peak day
flows and provides the necessary water for racetrack landscaping
while offsetting potable demands. Brelje & Race provided
comprehensive planning, modeling, design and contract
administration services for the duration of the project.
Brelje & Race provided preliminary engineering, permitting,
design, operation and maintenance manuals, and construction
management for Infineon Raceway’s Water Reclamation System. This
project was unique in that the flows to the treatment system are
highly variable, requiring a staged design of the influent pump
station and three treatment ponds. Flow rates to the treatment
system vary from 10,000 gpd for a non-event day to 100,000 gpd
for a large event. One hundred percent of the reclaimed
secondary wastewater is used at the raceway for irrigation
purposes.
