Excerpt from City of Calgary document at

"Calgary is the largest city in Alberta, Canada, with a 2006 population exceeding 1,000,000. The City of Calgary
owns and operates two municipal wastewater treatment plants, Bonnybrook and Fish Creek, to provide
treatment to Calgary wastewater prior to its discharge to the Bow River (Exhibit 1). The Bonnybrook Plant is a
biological nutrient removal tertiary treatment plant with a design capacity of 500 ML/d (Exhibit 2). The Fish
Creek Plant is an oxygen activated sludge treatment plant with a design capacity of 72 ML/d (Exhibit 3). Both
primary and secondary sludges are produced at the two treatment plants. After undergoing adequate treatment
with the anaerobic digestion process, digested sludges are regularly pumped to the off-site Shepard Sludge
Lagoons for storage and gravity settling to separate sludge solids from the clear supernatant. The Shepard
supernatant is continuously returned to the Bonnybrook Plant as a recycle flow."
