Mr. Brown's report, in its entirety, is herewith made a part of these minutes, as an addendum thereto. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown reported, his recommended polymer feed is subject to approval by the State Water Control Board; however, in order to expedite procedural phases and to comply with Water Control Board mandates, it was deemed appropriate by Mr. Brown and City Attorney Worthy that they, on behalf of the City, execute a Consent Decree in the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, Virginia, agreeing that the City will follow a compliance schedule, identified as "Appendix A", and will comply with effluent limitations and monitoring requirements set forth in appendices "B" and "C", as made a part of the decree and order.
