~// City of Elk -~ River REQUEST FOR ACTION To Item Number Ci Council 6.1. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Public Works A ri16, 2009 Tex Maurer, Public Works Director Item Description Reviewed by Approval of Wastewater Disposal Permit for Great River Peter Beck, Ci Attorne Energy Peaking Plant Reviewed by Action Requested.. Approval of the attached Wastewater Disposal Permit for the Great River Energy Peaking Plant. Background/Discussion The peaking plant currently being built on the Great River Energy campus will collect rainfall and runoff from the peaking plant footprint and contain it in a tank on site. Great River Energy is proposing to discharge the tank when full to the wastewater treatment plant. The attached Wastewater Disposal Permit, which is modeled after a similar permit Great River Energy has with the City of Cambridge and has been reviewed by the city attorney, requires that the discharge to the city's treatment plant be tested prior to pumping. The permit also lays out a series of flow parameters that must be tested for, generally on an annual basis. There will be a flow meter installed at Great River Energy's expense that will monitor the flow for billing purposes. Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator of the treatment plant, Peter Beck, City Attorney and I have all reviewed this agreement and recommend approval. Financial Impact There will be no financial impact to the city, as Great River Energy has paid for all installations required and will pay for flow discharge to the treatment plant. In addition, they are paying one Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) for the benefit of hooking up the peaking plant discharge to the city's treatment plant.
