Not maintainingWTD'soutfalls can result in permit violations and fines. The collected data and information will inform infrastructure planning such as the CSO plan, System plan and climate adaption work to address outfall condition and salt water corrosion through projects and plans. Saltwater intrusion monitoring and tracking will also be part of this position's responsibility. Saltwater intrusion is increasing overtime due to sea-level rise and other infiltration. Overtime, saltwater intrusion increases corrosion and hastens costly repairs in the conveyance system and atWPTP. Monitoring and tracking the saltwater intrusion is an important element ofWTD'sclimate adaptation strategy and capital work. Comprehensive Planning will use the data collected to inform capital planning projects so that saltwater intrusion into the WTD conveyance system can be reduced. In addition, this position will support the H2S Corrosion Program with liquid and atmospheric H2S sampling, and modeling sulfide generation in some parts of the collection system with the results expected to generate recommendations for sulfide reduction strategies for these systems. A data management system will be developed and maintained to better manage, understand, and trend the existing and future H2S sampling data. Effective management of H2S generation in the collection system is essential to maximizing the useful life of our conveyanceassets.
