He stated that modifications to the plant are based on the allowable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. Major issues to be addressed by the Council include: A) Local versus regional issue in such areas as 1) Sludge management, 2) Laboratory work, and 3) acceptance of outside septage; B) Growth factor; and C) Payment of modifications based on area benefitted. He suggested that an Advisory Committee be formed to discuss the feasibility of regional district with a boundary that could be different from the Urban Growth Boundary. 0697 Daria Wightman, consultant from CH2M Hill, reviewed the proposed Facilities Plan document. She stated that the DEQ requirements are based on the Clean Water Act and DEQ enforces the EPA regulations. A major concern of DEQ relates to removal of storm water from the wastewater process. As of this date, DEQ has not issued the TMDL for the City's plant. However, once the TMDL is issued, the City has 90 days to provide a draft facilities plan to DEQ. The plan will encompass a 30 year planning period which exceeds the DEQ required 20 year plan period. Discussion was held on various options the City could elect such as modification of the present site or building of a another wastewater plant. Modifications to the present plant would still be required if a new plant is built, however, initial cost estimates indicate that it may be less expensive to build another plant. Staff was directed to contact other local agencies and Agripac regarding the concept of a regional district.
