do I really have to partner with someone?
“The issues we face are so big and the targets are so
challenging that we cannot do it alone. When you look
at any issue, such as food or water scarcity, it is very
clear that no individual institution, government or
company can provide the solution alone."
-Paul Polmen, CEO of Unilever (also Chairman of the World Business Council
for Sustainable Development)
![Page 7: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
so you want to do a reuse project…
Where do you start?
working with another organization, permitting, legal
agreements, finances…
![Page 8: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
general process for water reuse projects
Step 1- Identification of project and possible partners
Step 2- Do your homework
Step 3- Engage possible partners and build the project team
Step 4- Project feasibility
Step 5- Project Definition
Step 6- Execution, Construction
Step 7- Operation
![Page 9: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
matching sources to end uses,
sometimes in unexpected places
Step 1- Identification of project and possible partners
Look around…
• If you need water: Where is there abundant water?
• If you need to get rid of water: Who needs it? Who uses a lot of water (billing records)?
• What is the quality of the proposed source water?
• What is the water quality needed for the proposed consumer?
• What needs to be done to “fill the water quality gap”?
• Starter project: biggest bang for your buck
![Page 10: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
background on your possible project and
partners
Step 2- Do your homework
• Does the organization have a sustainability policy?
Water Stewardship:
Clean water is elemental and essential for life. And meeting increasing global water demand with a diminishing supply is one of the world’s most pressing issues. We continue to work toward reducing our water consumption and toward releasing fewer pollutants in the water.
-Excerpt from 3M’s Sustainability Policy
• Have you interacted with them in the past?
• Do they know what a water reuse project is? How much education will they need?
• What pressures and worries are they feeling in their organization now? In the future?
• What would motivate them to partner with you?
![Page 11: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
different motivations are fine if the “machine”
moves together to support the project
Securing a sustainable water source for our City
Good Public Relations, Fewer Discharge Permits Needed
Investment that aligns with our Mission to protect
groundwater
Sometimes these partnerships involve
organizations that would on the surface
appear to be at odds.
“Collaboration between different types of
organizations can produce previously
unimagined solutions.”

![Page 12: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
initial conversations with possible partners
Step 3- Approach possible partners and build the
project team
• Education on benefits of reuse projects (bring photo examples)
• Why your public organization wants to do this
• Why this partnership would be mutually beneficial
• Listen to their business constraints
• What would they need to go forward
• Who makes the go/no-go decisions?
• Who is the lead organization? This may take some time!
Be a good communicator
and be patient…
![Page 13: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
initial conversations with possible partners
Step 4- Project feasibility
• Identify infrastructure needs
• High level capital and O&M costs
• Regulatory and permitting issues
• Future capacity and demand
• Funding scenarios
• Identify who will own “it” and who will maintain “it”
• Legal agreements, easements
• Identify deal breakers
This may take some time!
Be a good communicator
and be patient…
![Page 14: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
engagement techniques to inform design and
build consensus
• focus group meetings
• one-on-one interviews
• public presentations and open houses
• design charrettes and workshops
• small group discussions
• “dot-mocracy” priority ranking exercise
• “brain-sprinting”
• community walk-abouts
• citizen photograph surveys
• social media updates
• web-based communication (crowdsourcing)
communicateStep 5- Project definition
![Page 15: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
and then the rest of the work follows…
Step 1- Identification of project and possible partners
Step 2- Do your homework
Step 3- Engage possible partners and build the project team
Step 4- Project feasibility
Step 5- Project Definition
Step 6- Execution, Construction
Step 7- Operation
Step 8- Tell the story of your success!

project drivers
Evaluated options:
• groundwater – only available for back-up
• surface water – poor and variable water quality
• potable water – limited availability
• wastewater – effluent from City of Dickinson, needed to create a partnership
![Page 19: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How was the partnership created?
• The City of Dickinson was in the process of
upgrading their wastewater treatment plant
• DPR and Dickinson had a conversation at a regional
water meeting, came to an understanding
• Determined financial and ownership agreements,
where the transfer of responsibility is, who was
paying for and constructing what, timelines, etc.
• DPR purchases treated wastewater from Dickinson
![Page 20: New Wastewater Stormwater, Rainwater, or Industrial Water Reuse · 2014. 12. 23. · presentation outline ... final design Target Field Design-Build by Knutsen Construction and Perkins-Eastman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071218/60511c2718a6ea16f91b7d7b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
selected water source
City of Dickinson wastewater
effluent was selected as the
source for industrial water.
water will be used for:
• cooling
• boiler feed
• fire fighting (backup)
• washdown
• general, non-potable
uses

lessons learned: Target Field Station (The
Interchange)
• if partners are interested enough, fast track
reuse projects are possible
• involving permitting and granting agencies
in the design and review of the project
(early in the process!) can be helpful
• be sure to talk to the folks who will have to
operate your project!
• a “good stewardship story” is valuable

had identified that large impervious surfaces
were a problem for Kohlman Lake.
• Maplewood Mall is a large impervious surface.
• RWMWD approached the Mall in 2007 with the
idea of partnering on a green infrastructure
project
• Relationship was strengthened over the course of
many years

lessons learned: Maplewood Mall cistern
• Take time to really understand “the business”

conclusions
• Partnering is essential for
many reuse projects
• Look for grant funding
opportunities to help
• Tell the “story” and take
the opportunity to
educate
• There are many tools to
help you imagine and
design reuse projects
