The minutes of the regular meeting of November 5, 1979 were approved as recorded. As had been advertised in the local newspapers, Mayor . Ratcliff advised this was the time and place to hold a public hearing PUBLIC HEARING ON TOWN'S FACILITY by the Town Council on the Facility Plan for the Town's Wastewater PLAN - STATEMENT BY CONRAD DODL OF Treatment Facilities, and called on Mr. Conrad Dodl for his report. WILEY & WILSON, CONSULTING ENGRS. Mr. Dodl advised that he was sure the Mayor and Council were familiar with the federal Water Pollution Control Act and its amendments thereto, and stated that Section 201 of the 1972 Amdne- ments requires the preparation of an areawide Water Treatment Management Plan referred to as a Facility Plan. Mr. Dodl stated the rules established by EPA for implementation of the Clean Water Program defines three steps to be followed in planning and con- structing wastewater treatment facilities and specify that the eligible portions of each step are to be funded by 757 Federal Grants from EPA. Step I is the preparation of the Preliminaty Waste Management Plan or Facility. Step II consiste of the detail engineering design and preparation of plans and specifications, and Step III is the actual construction of the treatment facilities. November 20, 1979 Q~a53'2 Mr. Dodl stated the preparation of the Facility Plan for the Town of Pulaski is now in the final stages, and EPA regulations require that prior to submission of the Plan for approval by the State Water Control Board, a public hearing must be held to permit concerned citizens an opportunity to express their views on the alternative proposals presented in the Facility Plan. Mr. Dodl advised that in an effort to improve the water quality in the Pulaski area, the Town of Pulaski in 1960 built its existing wastewater treatment plant. Even though the treatment provided by the existing plant is more than most municipalities were DODL~S STATE- required to provide, it does not meet the new water quality standards established by the more recent legislation or the stream standards MENT CONTINUED established for Peak Creek by the State Water Control Board. In addition to removal of the normal pollutants referred to as BOD and suspended Solids, Mr. Dodl advised, the stream standards require a high level of treatment to remove nutrients, particularly phosphorus, to reduce the growth of algea in the Feak Creek arm of Claytor Lake. Because of the development of a large area surrounding Pulaski in the early seventies, the Town of Pulaski began giving con- sideration to improving and enlarging the wastewater treatment plant, and an engineering agreement was negotiated for an engineering study to determine the size of plant needed and the facilities required to meet both capacity and treatment requirements. Soon after this it was learned the Town might be eligible for federal assistance for expansion of its plant under Public Law 92-500 and a decision was made to delay the study while an application for a federal grant was submitted. As a result of this application, the Town of Pulaski was placed on the priority list for a Step I Grant in the fiscal year 1974-75. Studies and investigations for the Facility Plan were divided into four major parts: an infiltration/inflow analysis; and infiltra- tion/inflow evaluation survey, an engineering study and an environ- mental assessment. Since much of the treatment capacity of a waste- water treatment plant can be taken by water leaking into the sewer ~Q6533 November 20, 1979 system, a determination was necessary to see if there was ex- cessive infiltration or inflow into the sewer system, and whether it would cost more to repair the sewer lines to rmove the extraneous water or to provide capacity to treat this water. These studies showed there was excessive entrance of ground water into the sewer system and a determination was made as to the quantity which could be removed cost effectively. Following these studies and reports from Wiley & Wilson work was then started on the basic Facility Plan. A number of alternatives for wastewater treatment and STATEMENT points of discharge were evaluated during the work on the Facility Plan, and after all items including the environmental effects were considered and the alternatives were discussed with the State Water Control Board, the alternative consisting of secondary treatment at the existing Pulaski Wastewater Treatment CONTINUED Plant and discharge of the treated effluent through a discharge pipeline to the main stream of Claytor Lake was selected as the most feasible alternative. The Facility Plan, based on this alternative, was completed and submitted in April, 1976, bud when an application was made for a discharge permit, considerable objection on the part of local residents developed to this plan. When the matter was discussed with representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency this agency also opposed the dis- charge of effluent to Claytor Lake. The results of a more detailed investigation of the alternative of participation with the Radford Study or planning area in the development of a wastewater treatment plant to serve both planning areas, was presented in a supplement to the Facility Plan, dated Janaury, 1978, which study confirmed that the plan originally selected was still a most cost effective plan. It was determined after further discussion that wastewater treatment which included high level phosphorus removal would meet the water quality standards for discharge for treated effluent to Peak Creek, and a second supplementary study was made to evaluate this alternative in more detail. Mr. Dodl stated the cot}clusions reached in the' November 20, 1979 06~~4 second supplementary study and presented in a second supplement to the Facility Plan were that the high level phosphorus removal alternative was slightly less costly than the retional alternative, but because of local opposition to continued discharge to Peak Creek and opposition by the Environmental Protection Agency to discharge the wastewater to Claytor Lake, the Town Council selected to regional alternative. Mr. Dodl stated a summary report has now been prepared which gives a description of the selected plan, the .reason for selection, and environmental assessment of the selected plan and other data re- quired by the EPA regulations for completion of a Facility Plan for the regional alternative. Bob Green stated the selected plan calls for incorporating STATEMENT the wastewater flows from the Town of Pulaski into the regional waste= CONTINUID water treatment system planned for the Radford Area Cluster. The only facilities proposed for the Pulaski Planning area are those required to transport wastewater from the Town of Pulaski to the Town of Dublin, These include: Pump station modification, an emergency generator, and abandoning all the existing treatment plant except the pretreatment facilities. According to the selected Plan, the Pepper's Ferry Regional Alternative, the Pepper's Ferry Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, and associated wastewater collection and transportation facilities will be constructed to provide an effluent which meets Federal secondary effluent limitati ons and which removes wastewater effluents from the Pulaski service area. The only facilities required by this plan to be built within the Pulaski service area are a force main to Dublin and accompany- ing pump stations. Mr. Green presented the following analysis: EQUIVALENT ANNUAL C06T Capital Equivalent Annual Cost Cost a&M Total High-Level Phosphorus Removal (Discharge to Peak Creek) $5,540,000 $564,400 $1,052,000 Pepper's Ferry Regional Wastewater Treatment Auty. $10,638,000 $498,000 $1,435,000 For Pulaski Planning Area only. 6 J ~~ November 20, 1979 PRESENT WORTH QOST ANALYSIS Present Worth Regional Plant at Pepper's Ferry Site $ 35,462,000 High-Level Phosphorus Removal at Pulaski and separate treatment facility at Pepper's Ferry $ 34,875,000 Present worth cost analyses shown high-level phosphorus STATEMENT alternative and the Regional Alternative to be within 10 percent of each other.

ASKS FOR in the ref erenced planning report, indicating its intent to take the EXECUTIVE RE: ADOPTION OF necessary steps to implement the recommendations set out therein. Mr. RESOLUTION Moore suggested that an Executive Session be held at the conclusion of other business before the Council in order that he could more fully explain the legal terminology contained in the Resolution. As there was no one from the public who wished to be heard, Mayor Ratcliff called for Committee reports. ~oss~~ November 20, 1979 Councilman Brockmeyer had no report for the Recreation Committee, and advised that the Downtown Renovation Committee would DOWNTOWN RENOVATION be meeting on the 27th and it was hoped to have a report for Council at its next meeting. Councilman Wallace reported that elevated entrances are OVERTON DR. REPORT being installed for .each driveway in the Overton Drive controversy. Councilman Johnston reported the Land and Building Committee had met for the purpose of considering the Peak Creek cleaning project, and it was felt the project is moving along as well as had been ex- pected. Mr. Johnston stated that because of the nature of the project REPORT ON PEAK CREEK it was impossible to project the cost of same to the corporate limits, CLEANING and it was now necessary to consider additional monies for the completion TFR. OF of the project. He stated the Finance Committee had met on this aspect $25,000 TO ' PROPER ACCOUNT of the project and felt the Chairman of the Finance Committee would AND $20,000 have a recommendation to the Council on this. APPROPRIATED Councilman House stated that Council acted on the use of $25,000 from the Downtown Improvement Fund, and perhaps this should be in a separate account.. Councilmam House moved that $25,000 be trans- ferred to Account ~~9345 - Peak Creek Dredging from previously budgeted Account ~~9340 - Downtown Improvements.

On October 29, Q65s~~ November 20, 1979 1979 the same gentleman again inspected the landfill and listed some seven (7) items that did not meet with his approval and stated that the rating would be unsatisfactory "due to lack of equipment and operator". Councilman Boyd advised that in light of this he would recommend, in the form of a motion, to the members of Council that the Town Manager be authorized to draft a letter to RECENT RATINGS Dr. Gilley, Director of Solid Waste and Vector Control, with a ON LANDFILL copy to go to Mr. Olin B. Willis, inf orming him that the Town has OPERATIONS QUESTIONED spent some $300,000.00 in the purchase of equipment at the landfill letter to be sent to Dr. along with other work that has been done in trying to provide a Gilley very satisfactory operation. Councilman Boyd stated that it seems rather unusual that from one month to the next a satisfactory rating is received and the next month an unsatisfactory rating is received when there have been no changes in the equipment at the landfill for several months. Councilman Boyd moved that Town Manager Marshall be authorized to write Dr. Gilley requesting that he make a personal visit to Pulaski in order that we can show him the operation and what we have done over the last several years to bring the landfill to acceptable standard of operation. Motion was seconded by Councilman Brockmeyer, and carried.
