4~ OCTOBER 9, 1984 TUESDAY Completion of the Public Service Authority Marrowbone Plant and Interceptor and Purchase of Public Service Authority capacity in City Plant 3 Years following Authorization by City and Public Service Authority Phase II City's 2 mgd Share in Expanded Marrowbone Plant 1992-1994 As stated earlier, other alternatives were examined. However, due to exces- sive capital cost associated with some alternatives and uncertainty as to available capacity in county facilities 7 to 10 years hence in others, the options available were significantly reduced. It is recognized that a critical feature of this alternative is that, if pursued, it would take approximately 1~ years longer for the City to achieve an additional 2 mgd capacity than it would have if the City expands its own plant. For this reason the interim diversion to the Upper Smith River Plant at Koehler is an integral part of this alternative. This will allow for up to 0.75 mgd of additional City capacity in the interim. The diversion feature also gives treatment flexibility to both jurisdictions after the City achieves its additional 2 mgd. In order to achieve the diversion within 6 months as well as begin design on the line and plant at Marrowbone, the City, Henry County, and the Public Service Authority should endorse the plan as soon as possible. The author- ity needs to know the City's intention before authorization can be given for the Jones Creek diversion and the Marrowbone improvements, after which an amendment to the 1974 Wastewater Agreement can be drafted and executed by all parties. -- Immediately upon authorization, the state regulatory agencies should be consulted so that the necessary discharge permit requirements for the Marrowbone Plant can be satisfied without delaying the design or con- struction of the project. The Authority, with assistance from the City as needed, should immediately proceed with this following the acceptance of the plan by all parties. Respectfully submitted: City of Martinsville Don R.
