    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, intends to acquire the Presby Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES) Wastewater Treatment System for the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in Hawaii. This system is required to treat pre-treated wastewater influent ranging from 5,000 to 67,000 gallons per day, ensuring compliance with Hawaii's effluent discharge requirements, specifically maintaining biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and total suspended solids (TSS) levels at or below 60 mg/L. The procurement is critical for maintaining environmental standards and operational efficiency at military facilities, and firms that believe they can provide an equivalent system are encouraged to submit a capabilities statement by January 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time. Interested parties should direct their submissions to Jennifer Ko and Christie Lee via the provided email addresses.

    HAR 11-62-26.pdf
    This document outlines regulations for wastewater effluent disposal systems and treatment works, focusing on design, monitoring, and reporting requirements. New systems must include primary and 100% back-up disposal components, each capable of handling peak flow determined by county or Honolulu standards. All systems need provisions for operation, maintenance, and inspection, with subsurface systems and injection wells requiring purging and chemical "shock loading." Treatment works must meet specific effluent requirements, including biochemical oxygen demand (BODs) and suspended solids limits, with monitoring frequency depending on flow rates and system type. Owners must submit lab data semi-annually. Additional monitoring includes dissolved oxygen, pH, settleability, chlorine residual, and total daily flow. Logbooks are mandatory for operational records. Disinfection requirements are specified for R-1 and R-2 recycled water, including CT values for chlorine disinfection. The document emphasizes compliance with EPA regulations and allows for more stringent requirements by engineers if warranted.
