Ridgemont Stormwater Reuse Planning Overview

This set of flashcards covers key vocabulary and concepts from the lecture on Ridgemont's stormwater reuse planning, highlighting important definitions and processes involved in the project.

Stormwater Reuse

The process of capturing and treating stormwater runoff for fully treated water reused for approved non-potable purposes.

Management Category 2 (MC2)

A classification level that indicates a system is designed to remain within a moderate level of complexity and operational burden.

Truck Fill System

A Town-managed centralized method for delivering reused stormwater to users, ensuring controlled access and operational simplicity.

Phased Approval Pathway

A structured approach for getting approvals in stages to manage risk and avoid premature commitments.

Public Health Guidelines

Framework set by Alberta Public Health to ensure that the treated water is safe for the specified end uses.

Operational Monitoring Plan

A plan outlining how to monitor and manage the operations and safety of the stormwater reuse system.

Biological Treatment

A part of the treatment process that uses natural processes to treat stormwater, often involving constructed wetlands.

Controlled Discharge

Carefully managed release of treated stormwater into specific areas, like golf courses, to ensure safety and compliance.

Exposure Controls

Safety measures put in place, such as signage and controlled access, to minimize public health risks associated with reused water.

Developer-funded Infrastructure

Water management systems financed by property developers to support community needs without burdening Town resources.

Conceptual Approval

Initial agreement to proceed with planning before detailed designs and final operational approvals are granted.

LRT Targets

Guidelines set for the acceptable levels of pathogen reduction to ensure water safety.
