Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
The Jones Point Pump Station is a 1.43 Million Gallon Per Day (MGD) capacity pump station located at 5840 Cameron Run Terrace, Alexandria, Virginia, 22303. This pump station was originally constructed in 1972, with rehabilitation completed in 1997. The nearby screening and odor control facility is located approximately 200 feet north of the existing pump station and screens the transmission line wastewater before it is siphoned to the Alexandria Renew Enterprises sewer system and treated at the Alexandria Renew Water Resources Recovery Facility. As the existing pump station, force main, and screening and odor control facility age, improvements and new infrastructure are needed to overcome operational issues associated with aging equipment. Significant maintenance challenges have been noted in previous concept studies performed for the pump station and the screening and odor control facility.
This project includes replacement of the existing pump station and force main and rehabilitation of the existing screening and odor control facility. Construction challenges presented by the Huntington Levee and operational issues at the existing pump station location are too great to complete an in-place rehabilitation. Therefore, the new pump station will be located on existing property owned by Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and a small amount of existing property owned by Fairfax County Park Authority. The new pump station and force main piping will be sized to accommodate anticipated flows until 2045 and potentially beyond. Therefore, the new pump station will have a slightly higher capacity of 1.48 MGD. An access road is proposed that will provide access to the pump station and to serve as an alternative access to the Huntington Levee access road. Permanent and temporary easements will be required for this project.
This project will apply Envision sustainability framework, with Envision Silver verification being pursued for this project. Envision was developed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure and is a tool for evaluating and rating projects based on social, economic, and environmental benefits. More information about Envision can be found at the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure website. The project is currently in the 35% Design phase.
The rehabilitation of the existing screening and odor control facility will occur entirely within the existing facility. No increase in capacity is necessary for the screening and odor control facility. Work will include interior structural repairs and replacement of existing mechanical and electrical equipment that has reached the end of its useful life.
