~ TUESDAY JUNE 9, 1970 holds from the Daniel Creek Water Company, inasmuch as--in keeping with the County1s and the Authority's plans to provide water and sewer service to areas of the County--the Public Service Authority proposes to acquire said water system. Upon agreement by Mr. David W. Davis, President of Daniel Creek Water Company, (who was present), to extend the purchase option, Council agreed not to exercise said option or take action in any way thereon until its forthcoming June 23rd meeting. - Council acknowledged receipt of the following letter from the State Water Control Board and, upon being advised by the City's consulting engineers that the schedule set forth by the Control Board (for secondary sewage treatment) can be met, directed City Manager Noland to so indicate to the Water Control Board: The Water Control Board in 1967 adopted quality standards for all the waters of the Commonwealth. Subsequently, you were notified of your responsibility to submit an implementation plan and schedule to provide waste treatment facilities adequate to meet the stream standards. Our records indicate that the plan you submitted did not comply with the requirements of the Water Control Board. .- At its April 7-8, 1970 meeting, the Board adopted revised water quality standards, and, as part of the implementation plan to achieve the revised quality standards, all waste discharge owners must submit a detailed schedule for the completion of the necessary waste treat- ment. systems. The deadline for completion of adequate facilities is July 1, 1972. Further, the State Water Control Law as amended by the 1970 General Assembly provides that all waste discharge owners in the Commonwealth must provide a minimum of secondary treatment or its equivalent unless the owner can demonstrate that a lesser degree of treatment is consistent with the purposes of the Law. The Board directed that the compliance schedule be prepared and submitted by June 15, 1970, and should contain intermediate dates for completion of a preliminary report, completion of system design, advertisement for bids, and beginning of construction. An example of a satisfactory schedule Preliminary Plans Submitted Final Plans Submitted Construction Under Way Construction Complete would be: September 1, 1970 April 1, 1971 July 1, 1971 July 1, 1972
