FACILITY TOURS Attendees who purchased tickets will enjoy one of these tours on Friday morning. Tours will depart at 8 am from the Fort Worth Convention Center on Friday, April 12.

Tour of Bureau of Engraving & Printing’s Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth The Western Currency Facility opened in 1990 in Fort Worth as the first government facility outside Washington, DC, to print United States paper money. The facility serves the currency needs of the western half of the nation and acts as a contingency operation in case of an emergency at the DC facility. The facility was recently named Industry of the Year and additionally earned a Pretreatment Partnership Award and Pollution Prevention award in their sweep of 2019 City of Fort Worth Environmental Awards. The production of U.S. currency is not an easy or simple task, but one that involves highly trained and skilled craftspeople, specialized equipment, and a combination of traditional old world printing techniques merged with sophisticated, cutting-edge technology.

NOTE: The BEP is a secure facility. Visitors are subject to security screening prior to entering the Visitor Center.

Please leave cell phones, laptops, iPads, iWatches or any electronic devices, electronic equipment, backpacks, cameras, weapons (including knives, pellet guns, mace, etc.), explosives, food, and or drinks back at the hotel or on the bus. They are NOT allowed on the tour.

Schedule: 8:00 am: Leave from the Fort Worth Convention Center 8:30-9:00 am: Arrive at Western Currency Facility and go through Security 9:00-11:00 am: Tour of production room floor (Self-guided tour) 11:00 am: Depart Western Currency Facility 11:30 am: Arrive at Fort Worth Convention Center

City of Fort Worth Westside Water Treatment Plant The Westside Water Treatment Plant started operating in 2012. It is the newest and smallest of Fort Worth’s five water treatment facilities. The Westside WTP is the utility’s first, and currently only, water plant to use membranes. The plant started with a capacity of 12 million gallons a day and has since been expanded to 15 MGD. An expansion to 18 MGD is in progress.

Ozone is used for primary disinfection, mainly for taste and odor control and treatment preconditioning.

Secondary disinfection is with chloramines, using sodium hypochlorite and liquid ammonia sulfate. The plant has full conventional treatment in front of the low-pressure membranes. Hard infrastructure was constructed for a 35 MGD facility. This allows it to be easily expanded without major construction activity. It just requires adding plate settlers to sedimentation basins, filter media to filtration basins and membrane racks to existing empty

22

slots as the need for more capacity occurs. Fort Worth operates a blended system, but the water from this facility is primarily used on the city’s rapidly growing west side and by the cities of Aledo, Hudson Oaks and Willow Park.

In early 2024, improvements related to winter weatherization will be operational. This includes backup power generation using two 2.5-megawatt generators and enclosing the high-service pump station. These improvements are part of the utility’s efforts to comply with the requirements of SB3.

Schedule: 8:00 am: Leave from the Fort Worth Convention Center 8:30-9:00 am: Arrive at Westside WTP and check in 9:00-11:00 am: Tour of the Facility led by City Staff 11:00 am: Depart Facility for Convention Center 11:30 am: Arrive at the Fort Worth Convention Center

Trinity River Authority CRWS Thermal Hydrolysis Process Facility The Trinity River Authority Central Regional Wastewater System provides wastewater collection and treatment services to all or portions of 21 jurisdictions in the DallasFort Worth metroplex, as well as the DFW International Airport. The Solids Management Program included significant improvements to the plant’s solids handling facilities and incorporated a Thermal Hydrolysis Process to produce a Class A biosolids product. Thermal hydrolysis is a process that heats and pressurizes sludge in order to break down sludge cell walls. This enhances digestion and solids destruction; and consequently, reduces the amount of solids to be moved offsite, thus reducing transportation costs. Biogas production is also enhanced.

When used in combination with downstream mesophilic digestion, the process generates Class A biosolids. One of the primary benefits of THP is the ability to decrease the digestion reactor volume required, since the digesters post-THP can be fed at almost double the solids concentration when compared to typical mesophilic digesters.

THP treated solids followed by mesophilic digestion will meet or exceed EPA 503 Class “A” biosolids requirements.

The final product exhibits excellent properties for soil blending and land application with low odor biosolids.

Schedule: 8:00 am: Leave from the Fort Worth Convention Center 8:30-9:00 am: Arrive at THP Facility and check in 9:00-11:00 am: Tour of the Class A Thermal Hydrolysis Facility led by TRA Staff 11:00 am: Depart THP Facility for Convention Center 11:30 am: Arrive at the Fort Worth Convention Center

Reporting hours will be done through an online form— you will not have a paper form to turn in (except for competition hours; read more about that below).

Before you leave a technical session, make sure a Texas Water official has scanned your badge. You only need to have your badge scanned if you will be requesting TCEQ credit hours.

Take note of which sessions you attend in your program (mark/circle the ones you attend in the grid) - you are ultimately responsible for keeping track of your attendance. The program will show which sessions count towards w = water, ww = wastewater and w/ww = water and wastewater credit. Each technical session counts as .5 hour.

After the conference, complete the online form via the link below or scanning the QR code at right with your smartphone:

Completing this online form is your way of “turning in” your hours. We will check the hours you enter with the scan report from the sessions and report the total hours to TCEQ. The deadline for submitting the online form for hours is May 10, 2024. Please allow up to six weeks for processing hours to TCEQ. Hours will not be processed until payment for the conference is received.

Engineers may also receive licensing CE hours for attending on a self-reporting basis (please note: we will not have Engineering forms on-site and you do not need to complete the online form; it’s up to you to report your CE hours). The Professional Ethics Workshop for engineers course offered on Thursday satisfies the Professional Ethics requirement.

WEAT’s Operations Challenge competitors can receive 14 hours of wastewater credit and Top Ops competitors can receive 4 of water credit. Paper forms will be available to record competition hours (competitors do not need to complete the online form).

Scan the QR code to be taken to the online form.

Please only complete this form one time after the conference.

www.txwater.org/tceq_creditform_2024.cfm You only need to submit this form one time after the end of the conference. We’ll need your contact info, license number(s) and the total number of hours you are seeking.

TEXAS WATERTM 2024

The science of seeing what others don’t.

We see the bigger picture.

We see more in water—more than the science, more than the planning, and more than the design.

We see the families and communities we serve, and the increasingly fragile ecosystems we must protect. For over 90 years, we’ve been inspired to safeguard the quality of life for all communities, developing the most innovative solutions in the water industry. It just doesn’t get any bigger than that.
