Background/Discussion As discussed on May 7, 2018, staff continued to finalize details for the extension of the public sewer system along the Great Northern Trail (GNT) to accommodate a permanent connection of a leachate pipeline from the Elk River Landfill to our sewer collection system. This permanent connection is required to be complete for continued disposal of landfill leachate from the Elk River Landfill to Elk River's public sewer system as detailed in their current Special Discharge Permit. Being the project will extend a year beyond the end of the current Special Discharge Permit expiration,we are seeking a one-year extension of said permit. The project will install a new publicly-owned lift station near the intersection of the GNT and 221"Avenue and associated forcemain installed to the existing collection system located near Meadowvale Elementary school. It will further include a parking area off of 221"Avenue that will serve the new lift station and support 10 public parking spaces for GNT users. Elk River Landfill will extend a private leachate pipe line from their site directly to the new public lift station near 221"Avenue. This pipeline will also be placed,via utility permit, along the GNT right-of-way. The agreements set for approval are the required documents detailing the responsibilities for Elk River Landfill to deliver the project. Upon approvals,improvements will begin in early June 2020 and last through the summer of 2020. Pipeline construction will require closing of segments of the GNT during the summer. We will work with the contractor to minimize closures and use our communication channels to notify users. Financial Impact All improvements will be paid by Elk River Landfill,Inc. Details in the Utility Installation Agreement identify reimbursable costs. The SIU agreement further details the Sewer Access Charge to be paid over a 5- year period. The 2020 rates for leachate treatment are established in the attached Special Discharge Permit between Elk River Landfill and the city. The rates for treatment in future years have been established in the SIU agreement and will be reflected in the Master Fee Schedule.
