Motion carried unanimously. Marl arris, cil resident ATTEST: Sandra R. Perry, Clerk-Trea er September 28, 2009 The Mooresville Town Council held a Public Hearing for the Wastewater Treatment Expansion on Monday, September 28, 2009, at 6:30 P. M. at the Mooresville Government Center. Town Council members present were: President Mark Harris,Vice President Jeff Cook, John L. Clark,Ryan Goodwin, and Tony Langley. No members were absent. Attorney Tim Currens was present. Chris Gale and Jennifer Brewer, HNTB,presented the plans for a wastewater expansion project to take the capacity from 1.5 million gallons per day to 3.5 million gallons per day. The PER has been prepared and has been in the Clerk-Treasurer's office for public viewing for two weeks. It will be there for five more days to receive any public comments. That time period will be up on October 4, 2009. HNTB looked at a twenty year plan period and had to snake projections that included industrial users also. That is how they came up with 3.5 million gallons per day. Currently we are at 1.56 million gallons per day and technically IDEM could put us on a sewer ban because we are over. The proposed improvements for the plant include: Install four new raw sewage pumps to provide a firm pumping capacity of 7.5 MGD. Construct new 20 inch piping between existing raw sewage head tank and headworks (screening/grit removal) facility to supplement existing pipe and allow for demolition of decommissioned grit equipment. Construct new vertical loop reactor(VLR)to provide aeration for biological treatment and adequate process redundancy. Install new flow split structure to distribute effluent from the VLR to the four secondary clarifiers. Construct two new secondary clarifiers to supplement the two existing secondary clarifiers. Install new pump in the existing effluent pump station to provide a firm capacity of 9.0 MGD. Construct new sludge pump station for sending sludge from the clarifiers to the VLR and to the waste sludge storage tanks prior to disposal. Construct four new sludge storage tanks for storing sludge prior to disposal. Construct new Blower Building to house blowers and electrical equipment. Construct new Sludge Building to house blowers, sludge transfer pumps, and electrical equipment. Convert existing primary clarifiers to equalization tanks for temporary storage of excess bet- weather flows. Widen and extend the plant drive to allow easier access for sludge tanker trucks. The sludge loading station will be relocated to provide access from the drive. Install a new standby (emergency) generator and electrical service to the plant to provide power for the new and existing equipment. Provide SCADA(supervisory control and data acquisition) equipment throughout the plant to improve process control and monitoring. Demolish existing structures that have reached the end of their useful service lives to snake room for new structures (e.g., digester, and digester control building, oxidation ditch, etc.).
