1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,740
The 630, 1 p.m., we'll call the agency to submit the workshop to order. First item, only agenda item, 2 a state reviving fund loan discussions.

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,280
We have staff, you know, the Tracy Mercer, are you representing or someone else?

3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,340
Jith Westerges.

4
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:19,260
All that choice, Jith Westerges.

5
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:19,720
Jith Westerges, Michael.

6
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:27,720
The minister with utilities.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,820
Department and Natalie is going to do the presentation.

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,360
She filed the application for this state.

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,220
Long revolving fund for utilities.

10
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:41,990
Good evening.

11
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:46,090
And this is a public meeting to allow for a common

12
00:00:46,090 --> 00:00:49,350
comments and questions from the public, as well as yourselves.

13
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:58,210
So this is for the wastewater facilities plan, the wastewater improvements, and I'm

14
00:00:58,210 --> 00:00:59,870
Natalie with recent nearing it.

15
00:00:59,950 --> 00:01:03,250
I've been working in post coordination with tracing on all of these decisions.

16
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:08,570
So these are the, if you can see on the screen, these are the main items we're going to talk

17
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:09,130
about today.

18
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:13,530
We're just going to go through the purpose of the project, the alternatives we evaluate

19
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:20,990
which is required by FDEP, the cost analysis, the alternative we selected with the city, and project.

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:31,440
So the main purpose of this is to address the consent orders that were issued by DEP over the last year and a half or so.

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:41,820
The consent orders, they're a wide variety of them, so it touched on several areas of the waste bar plant, including reclaimed water storage and pumping,

22
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:52,720
Where the flow comes in, and flow equalization, biological treatment, so where the treatment actually occurs,

23
00:01:53,740 --> 00:01:57,180
and then what weather just flows on where you put the treated wastewater at the end.

24
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,500
We call that recline water.

25
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,680
And the other purpose of this is just to hold a public meeting to allow for public comment.

26
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,200
So on the recline water storage and pumping, this is a graphic showing

27
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,140
It's an area of view of the current percolation storage pond that's at the site, and you can see it's really green. There's a lot of algae in it.

28
00:02:17,660 --> 00:02:25,680
What happened? It comes out of the glass jar there. That's what it looks like when it comes out of the chlorine contact tank. It looks like a regular glass of drinking water.

29
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,420
By the time it sits in the pond, it gets algae and debris in it.

30
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:36,580
And so we're looking at adding a storage to keep that because if you take sunlight out, you don't get the algae growth.

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,300
And it keeps the debris out obviously.

32
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:43,200
And then at the current headworks, there's been overflows,

33
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:47,120
96 have been documented at the headworks.

34
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:50,080
And so we're looking, we looked at the alternatives

35
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,400
to address that issue.

36
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,760
At the biological treatment,

37
00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:57,060
they have two Kruger Biodine show.

38
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:58,200
That's the brand name.

39
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,400
So you'll hear that a few times.

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440
If two of those oxidation ditches,

41
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,380
and so we looked at improving the aeration capacity

42
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:06,760
to get better treatments.

43
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,880
because there's been a few times a year when lowings are high coming into the plant that the

44
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,080
treatment didn't quite meet to use requirements.

45
00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:21,400
And then the other thing we're looking at doing is expanding the rease capacity.

46
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,620
So spray filled sites, wrap-in infiltration basings, there's a wide variety of things we can

47
00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:32,180
do that beneficial to use this waterfall for irrigation purposes.

48
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:40,380
So the first alternative that we looked at was actually doing nothing, and so no action.

49
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:45,480
We as the engineer for the city would do not recommend this, it will result in increased

50
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,940
fines and more consent orders and ultimately the state can do far worse.

51
00:03:54,020 --> 00:03:57,580
So, and you'd have continued challenges with your reclaimed customers.

52
00:03:57,580 --> 00:04:01,360
you have eight or nine customers now, you'd have a heart

53
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,780
on maintaining those customers long-term.

54
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:07,520
I keep in that the confidence and the customers

55
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,840
to want to buy well-requined.

56
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,860
The second alternative, I won't go through all this text.

57
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,720
There's four main unit processes.

58
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:19,180
So we went through those same four that I've kind of outlined.

59
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,660
So we claimed water storage and pumping,

60
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,560
and I'll go through with photos in a second,

61
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:49,820
Headworks, Flow EQ, Biological Treatment and Weather, and so I'll start in with, so the first unit process on this alternative to, we looked at an onsite storage tank, onsite at the wastewater treatment site, onsite compensation, and this option has already been approved for swift mud grants funding almost 4.4 million.

62
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:58,260
The second alternative, I'm sorry, it's the same alternative to the second process, is to address

63
00:04:58,260 --> 00:04:59,480
that head works overflow.

64
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:07,640
So actually, Jones Edmonds has proposed this as part of their design, is to do two new screening

65
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:15,620
structures and to flow into these two tanks here, and it will actually allow more peak flows

66
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:16,940
to come in without overflows.

67
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,000
And the screens would look something like this,

68
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,720
this is a picture of another facility,

69
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,000
and they'd be up high between those two tanks.

70
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:28,540
And then the third unit process for this alternative,

71
00:05:28,540 --> 00:05:31,000
we looked at where the yellow box is,

72
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:32,620
where it says anoxic rearrangement,

73
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,820
we looked at a post-anoxic post-rearration.

74
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:37,500
And what this will address,

75
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,160
it will allow the operators to take down a rotor.

76
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:44,120
There's a lot of equipment inside this tank.

77
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,520
allows them to maintain that, because that has been the source of their problems.

78
00:05:51,210 --> 00:05:53,590
Also, we're going to add additional erasian.

79
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:58,630
So that's a picture of the type of erasian we've looked at for the city and with the operators.

80
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:06,190
The fourth unit process, we'll call it is the disposal.

81
00:06:06,590 --> 00:06:10,910
So what happened to the city a couple years ago is the city has lost up big customers,

82
00:06:10,910 --> 00:06:17,090
It was Resnick property, about 150 acres, and about the last couple years, the city's really

83
00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:20,690
struggled with where to put that water, and they've had overflows from the percolation

84
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:29,290
pond, and to a drainage ditch, and the city's been paying fines on that as well, and so

85
00:06:29,290 --> 00:06:33,850
what we were supposed to do in this alternative is to get a larger portfolio of customers,

86
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:39,750
high schools, middle school, and all along, where you currently have 24 inch-pithane reclaim

87
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:44,590
And then we also looked at some smaller rapid infiltration

88
00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:48,910
basins at seven genes, a couple of churches.

89
00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:52,150
So that's pretty much that one.

90
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:54,490
I'll turn it three, same unit processes.

91
00:06:54,670 --> 00:06:56,750
I'm going to click through photos, make your life

92
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:57,610
a lot happier.

93
00:06:59,090 --> 00:07:01,750
So we looked at two offsite storage tanks

94
00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:03,750
instead of onsite at the wastewater plant.

95
00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:07,350
And then pump stations to keep the system

96
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:10,990
pressurized, just like you're a potable water you need to pressurized for irrigation

97
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:12,730
has to pop open and everything.

98
00:07:14,110 --> 00:07:19,330
And then for the headworks overflowing, we looked at, for this, taking the existing headworks

99
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:25,190
structure, raising it up with cranes, elevating it, changing out some piping, so it's a larger

100
00:07:25,190 --> 00:07:30,850
piping allowing more flow, and also using those flow EQ tanks as well to damp and peak

101
00:07:33,970 --> 00:07:43,670
And for the the erasian basin, the two ditches that we have now, we looked at adding just a third identical as an option, which would absolutely work too.

102
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:54,740
And then for the off site, whether storage we looked at doing two breads sitting on property off of 544.

103
00:07:54,740 --> 00:08:00,480
It's about 30 acres and doing two risks there at that location,

104
00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:10,240
so we basically crunch the numbers for these two options and the third option, which is do nothing which is not recommended.

105
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:19,160
There is a cost to that to the city to do nothing, in fact you know, some deep ramifications there.

106
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:27,920
The second alternative costs rent at $14 million, the third option costs rent at $17.5 million.

107
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:34,140
And I'll turn it at $2 with the $4.4 million of swift mud cooperative funding.

108
00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:37,080
It brings it to $9.9 million.

109
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,200
So we recommend, let me go back to that.

110
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:47,120
So, Reese's recommending option to, as the most cost-effective option to address these

111
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,840
consent orders.

112
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,380
And then the project impacts funding impacts to customers.

113
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,440
So, a state-revolving loan is from the state of Florida through FTEP.

114
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,840
That's such one a year loan.

115
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:07,780
They're almost for hand-city will be under one percent of what they expect, and the exact

116
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:10,240
percentage changes the data closes.

117
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,320
PRMG, not RAPTELUS, they completed the finance and fiscal

118
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,520
sustainability plan for you.

119
00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:22,020
And the project loan repayment will be funded through the utility

120
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:25,380
revenues that were identified in the 2018 rate study.

121
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,360
And what that means is that the proposed rates are necessary.

122
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:32,680
I'm just going to read this work for Tracy Hillman with this.

123
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,460
But the proposed rates are necessary in the 2018

124
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:40,640
the proposed rates, they're necessary to provide the adequate net revenues to pay the

125
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,300
principal and interest payments on all existing and proposed debts of the utility system,

126
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
including the principal and interest payments on this.

127
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,700
So if you have questions on that, you can ask tracing out of that.

128
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,760
And that is our presentation.

129
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,000
So I'm going to open it up to any public question from the question.

130
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:10,760
Sharon Garrett, I don't know if Carl Bizarre is right. You said that some of the water from the reclaimed water when there was too much of it.

131
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:16,360
The Resonate property was shown on where the Resonate property is.

132
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,780
It flows into a ditch. Where is this ditch?

133
00:10:23,860 --> 00:10:26,080
The ditch parallels Johnson Avenue.

134
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:34,560
Pleasant to Johnson? Correct. Okay, but then that doesn't really go much anywhere just the long jumps and then come

135
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:43,060
Cool, right. It does flow towards the southeast, but it takes some thought to it. So then it flows through the wetland

136
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:44,800
It's in the pastures

137
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Okay, so when you're on the other side of hints and then you're diving along that road

138
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,360
There's a canal that they run the minzi nut machine suit all the time

139
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,180
And I think that canal goes all the way out to Lake Mary and so some of that water going that way.

140
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,980
I'm not sure exactly where you're talking about.

141
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Well, but it sounds like yes.

142
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:06,220
It does go towards Lake Mary and so.

143
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Yes.

144
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,740
If you go back now, thanks.

145
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,060
And I was going to go along and say, did I do a certain thing?

146
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:14,780
And I say, no, that's not me.

147
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,060
Okay.

148
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:20,340
And it's right when we pass that canal.

149
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,420
And it happens several times, and it's not necessarily after a rank.

150
00:11:27,780 --> 00:11:29,900
Part of what this project was about.

151
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:39,860
It should, I'm not 100% sure where the smell is coming from, but it will stop the discharge into that.

152
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:56,520
I have a question, the swift mode for unavailability would that not be available for option 3?

153
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:09,440
No, we went tracing and I went through several iterations with the swift mode board members and they had us do a separate alternative analysis for just that portion of the projects

154
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,460
And they were not interested in that.

155
00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:20,980
We did verbally talk about it and they guided me on to which and alternatives they were most

156
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:22,000
interested in as evaluating.

157
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,860
And then the option that we've selected here that has received the grant funding, the City of

158
00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:35,160
Signed the Agreement for, that one is the one that they approve of.

159
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:35,660
Scott.

160
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,200
And the reason I'm asking is because my fellow seatmates are about to undergo something

161
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:49,140
very similar to what I did when I was newly minted like they are, for some of it even predates

162
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:50,440
commission of West.

163
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:58,180
A rate study that said you can't rates, couldn't pay back the loan that you need to get that type of

164
00:12:58,180 --> 00:13:00,140
thing, then they're done that.

165
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:11,500
The concern I think that they will be facing is without this, most of the activity that they have seen

166
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:17,700
In the last few years old, we'll see in the future comes to a bit of a screeching hole.

167
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:29,260
This is a big piece of the backbone that goes with, I mentioned the other night when somebody over there in the corner was talking about what fiscal standing we are,

168
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:35,640
is there really is no surplus in our budgets.

169
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,040
There's just things we haven't gotten to yet.

170
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:44,220
This right here, if it's ignored, becomes a bigger problem.

171
00:13:46,270 --> 00:13:49,290
Being the new kid on the block back then, when I mentioned,

172
00:13:50,510 --> 00:13:55,770
even having a facility that treated wastewater to a point where you could.

173
00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:11,330
I knew that was going to slowly dissipate because the cow faster is going to go away.

174
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:14,250
And, you know, going to work.

175
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:19,770
So, the ability to reuse that reuse war and keep it to a level where

176
00:14:19,770 --> 00:14:24,010
because the Muzag is interested in purchasing it,

177
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:27,050
is vital to the overall system by building.

178
00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:32,010
It's the same they wouldn't put that for me

179
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:37,170
on something better because option 2 is kind of like a band-aid

180
00:14:37,170 --> 00:14:38,730
on a soul.

181
00:14:39,490 --> 00:14:41,430
It's not going to fix the problem.

182
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:45,330
It's like ground storage tank or the...

183
00:14:45,330 --> 00:14:46,790
option 2 period.

184
00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:55,010
Yes, that means that we back to this table of wrangling with that all too soon in the end.

185
00:14:56,010 --> 00:14:59,970
We do, well, the plant has a limited permitting capacity of three inches.

186
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:11,100
A very closely, especially with the grounds going on. So this will allow you to operate up to that 3MGD capacity.

187
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,600
It's been very difficult for the operators to stay in compliance with the current plan as it is.

188
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:23,560
The strength of the wastewater coming in. So you have a lot of low flush toilets and it gets more and more concentrated.

189
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:31,160
it, the plant was designed in 1995, our friend Mike Clyburn, and that at that point in time

190
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,700
the strength of wastewater was different. People used a lot more water, so now it's

191
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:36,940
more concentrated, it's harder to treat it.

192
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,700
It's not how you look at it, but in ways, it's

193
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:51,000
just, it's not a disadvantage, but I would, because you're also getting to the point of water

194
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:59,560
supply issues too, so I would definitely say, conserve your water absolutely. It's going to

195
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,640
of the time.

196
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:11,470
How many LGD does new plant will be able to obtain the hold within itself?

197
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:15,350
This allows you to keep your current permanent capacity.

198
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:19,770
I think I heard Ms. Gary from Northward.

199
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:22,650
We're redumped in our reclaimed water now.

200
00:16:22,930 --> 00:16:27,070
So right now, you have southern dunes as your biggest user.

201
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:32,950
And they have been very kind and been taking extra water more than they need to help the

202
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:35,010
operators in our area.

203
00:16:35,290 --> 00:16:36,070
What's that?

204
00:16:36,070 --> 00:16:37,350
Don't think you're asking me.

205
00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:38,370
Don't think you're asking me.

206
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:39,250
What are you using?

207
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:49,590
I wanted to address the mayor honor of the years, but yes, so there's a couple emergency

208
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:50,190
spray fields.

209
00:16:50,350 --> 00:16:56,170
We've set up to try to keep you out of the bank and send orders and that is on some

210
00:16:56,170 --> 00:17:00,930
the own properties. The 20 acres light is at the wastewater plant. We started the future

211
00:17:00,930 --> 00:17:10,170
cemetery, sign, and then the Melbourne Avenue for Larry Perish. I sit on the water carpet

212
00:17:10,170 --> 00:17:17,150
at board, and the biggest problem that I have is to take not reuse water, just water, and

213
00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:23,110
dump it back on online, anywhere, even in a residential pool. I think even residential should

214
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:28,150
be using reuse water when they're taken in and put it back on their lawn because I think

215
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:34,430
it's just with the upper aquifer about dry and we've got to go into the little aquifer

216
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:39,250
now to get water and we're taking that water that could be used and dumping it all along.

217
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:44,530
And I just think that going for it, if somewhere in a city can get online and take that reclaim

218
00:17:44,530 --> 00:17:50,130
water and start connecting to somebody's relative home and start using it all along.

219
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:53,350
I don't know if that's feasible, that's possible, and it helps us.

220
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:55,070
And that's a lot of what Tracy.

221
00:17:56,550 --> 00:18:00,970
That's a lot of where we're headed, especially with each new development.

222
00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:08,270
If they don't do Florida-friendly landscape, which ultimately would be the least cost to the city,

223
00:18:08,490 --> 00:18:13,170
to not use any of that water, and to actually use your reclaim to recharge the aquifer.

224
00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:17,630
So you don't buy as much expensive water, that's really your lowest downturn cost.

225
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:20,710
But you're right, I appreciate you saying that.

226
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:25,350
So that question is these other two locations you mentioned,

227
00:18:25,850 --> 00:18:32,450
where the new cemetery is, and Larry Parrish.

228
00:18:33,390 --> 00:18:33,410
Yes.

229
00:18:33,490 --> 00:18:39,210
So that's the area between Johnson and Melbourne.

230
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:40,670
That's exactly right.

231
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:41,330
And Melbourne.

232
00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:44,250
Yes, where the ball field is located.

233
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:50,250
And we understand that eventually the city may use that for soccer fields or something.

234
00:18:50,490 --> 00:18:54,050
So for now, we're using that to keep from just staying compliance.

235
00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:56,050
Otherwise, it goes through this emergency outfall.

236
00:18:56,870 --> 00:19:05,070
And it's, you know, with the rain, we're still not at a point to having enough sites to 100% stop that this year.

237
00:19:06,010 --> 00:19:11,290
So the smell that Ms. Garrett was mentioning as far as the canal area,

238
00:19:11,290 --> 00:19:16,770
the residents in these other two areas or we haven't got any complaints as far as

239
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:17,620
smell from it.

240
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,340
Melbourne and right, Johnson and Melbourne, that's what I'm thinking.

241
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:35,700
I've smelled it too.

242
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:36,960
Also,

243
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:45,710
the back side of Larry Pierce Park, there's a little area and I think there's

244
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:52,170
can now, it comes out the back side of that, and that feeds into that marshy wetland area

245
00:19:52,170 --> 00:19:56,390
that should eventually feed into that canal that I'm sort of complaining about.

246
00:19:56,990 --> 00:20:01,590
But we're not just holding that rectangular, yeah, we're not just charging in place near

247
00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:02,090
that.

248
00:20:02,110 --> 00:20:07,190
What you have in marshlands, you have a lot of organics, and those smell in itself, if we

249
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:11,770
discharge nothing from the wastewater treatment plant, reclaimed water, anything is still

250
00:20:11,770 --> 00:20:12,270
going to smell.

251
00:20:12,270 --> 00:20:17,690
because it has a lot of organics and organics has the same type of gas that your sewer has.

252
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:20,130
It gives off and so you're going to smell it.

253
00:20:20,290 --> 00:20:23,390
I live in a marsh. My marsh does not smell like that now.

254
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:28,270
Okay, my mom lives over here in a marsh. We've always had a slew on one side.

255
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:33,370
I live, there's a creek that comes in and around my house and goes to a bayhead and there's a bayhead

256
00:20:33,370 --> 00:20:36,550
on the other side and there's swamp, it kind of swamped very behind it.

257
00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:38,750
They don't smell like that.

258
00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:44,530
So some storm drains or some storm water going into the swamp and things like that smell.

259
00:20:44,850 --> 00:20:51,270
And when I say that it's wetlands and it is decaying materials and so you're going to have some smell to that.

260
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:54,550
I think our council has a question.

261
00:20:54,930 --> 00:21:01,310
I was going to say in Tracy has been very bold in this over the last several months.

262
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:05,870
We've been negotiating with a large, very large property owner.

263
00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:14,170
the disease, the hand-city for a spray field, which would be basically a safety valve for

264
00:21:14,170 --> 00:21:21,250
reclaimed water. And I would like to say it is imminent that that will be in front of you,

265
00:21:21,290 --> 00:21:28,110
and I think it is imminent that will be in front of you. But that's one of the things that we've been working

266
00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:29,650
on for quite some time.

267
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:39,850
other remark I'd like to make too. No matter how much a reclaimed water that we have available

268
00:21:39,850 --> 00:21:46,770
for use and for customers when it's weather like this nobody's taken it so we still have to

269
00:21:46,770 --> 00:21:54,530
have some place to put that and so that's part of the problem too so I think we'd have every bit of it

270
00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:59,490
going out and dry weather and then it went weather when nobody takes it because they don't need it.

271
00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:02,450
I don't know more will be able to take any of it.

272
00:22:02,450 --> 00:22:04,650
I don't think we have any pipes.

273
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:06,670
We don't have pipes going to the end,

274
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:08,230
some of the potential customers.

275
00:22:08,670 --> 00:22:10,650
And we lost that's not only stated earlier,

276
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:12,770
we did lose a couple of years ago.

277
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:15,650
A large development that was taking it.

278
00:22:16,150 --> 00:22:18,070
And so what Tracy and Fred have been working on,

279
00:22:18,190 --> 00:22:19,410
I think will help us to,

280
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:22,250
because we have to get rid of this water.

281
00:22:22,650 --> 00:22:24,890
And it's tough, especially it's raining now.

282
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,410
Southern doings don't want to put that much water on their golf course.

283
00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:30,170
And so those are things we're working on.

284
00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:31,690
Because of all of these consent orders,

285
00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:34,190
it is essential that we move forward this

286
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:35,950
and through the resolution and the right settings

287
00:22:35,950 --> 00:22:39,230
that you all look at in January, it will help us

288
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:40,310
to move this forward and something

289
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:41,830
you'll be bringing back at the commission meeting

290
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:42,710
to approve this.

291
00:22:43,210 --> 00:22:45,730
And the consent orders, the key thing that's making us go

292
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:49,150
this direction and trying to find these additional locations

293
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:53,530
that I can say that if we do get this developer

294
00:22:53,530 --> 00:22:56,870
to participate in a partner, a lot of that,

295
00:22:56,870 --> 00:23:02,410
we'll be going there, but that's the mayor stated, and Commissioner West trying to get lines

296
00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:07,930
out to those areas for reclaimed. So as developments come in, Mark Bennett and Richard Greenwood

297
00:23:07,930 --> 00:23:11,830
and April, they're working with them to say how to get reclaimed water in your subdivision.

298
00:23:11,950 --> 00:23:15,970
So we won't have this problem just going, trying to find a location for that water to go.

299
00:23:16,210 --> 00:23:21,310
How much are we discharged in the water a day and we claim water to this location?

300
00:23:21,310 --> 00:23:21,990
It's

301
00:23:24,670 --> 00:23:25,130
not patient.

302
00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:26,630
It's not.

303
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:28,550
It's running to a certain location.

304
00:23:29,070 --> 00:23:31,190
Are we just charging so much per day?

305
00:23:32,810 --> 00:23:40,590
And I'll say, in line with Swift mud or how much we allow to send to this remote location.

306
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:42,910
I think we'll see the manager referring to you.

307
00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:45,630
That's the 100-acre site that we're talking about.

308
00:23:45,650 --> 00:23:45,990
You're right.

309
00:23:46,610 --> 00:23:46,690
Yes.

310
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:50,970
I think it's going to take about one and a half into the number.

311
00:23:51,170 --> 00:23:52,850
But it'll take quite a bit.

312
00:23:52,850 --> 00:23:54,870
Okay. All right.

313
00:23:55,070 --> 00:24:08,890
And actually DEP is pretty lenient on changing the facilities plan that if you decide you want to use the money for a different wet weather project that is they made that pretty clear to me when we're doing this.

314
00:24:09,390 --> 00:24:11,210
So we have that flexibility check.

315
00:24:12,030 --> 00:24:18,050
So I sit on the legs advisory committee with a group and they're trying to figure out how to get water and little like Eva.

316
00:24:18,050 --> 00:24:24,310
is there not a way to take this extra reclaimed water and put it into Lake Eva? Is it you

317
00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:29,770
don't have the piping or piping is not near there or what? It seems like that would answer

318
00:24:29,770 --> 00:24:33,450
your question. I mean, solve your problem on raising Lake Eva.

319
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:38,170
Lake Eva is an impaired lake and they won't let us put any nutrients in it and reclaimed water

320
00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:43,830
has nitrogen phosphorus. Oh, okay. And so that's they call it the anti-degradation

321
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:45,490
for surface water if it's impaired.

322
00:24:46,350 --> 00:24:48,430
So can you go to Tracy if it's not impaired?

323
00:24:49,030 --> 00:24:49,430
Or else.

324
00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:50,890
Potentially.

325
00:24:51,770 --> 00:24:55,150
But your best bang for your bucket to raise the lake

326
00:24:55,150 --> 00:24:56,930
Eva and to raise your aquifer

327
00:24:56,930 --> 00:25:01,050
and defer on high-cost water that's coming down the line

328
00:25:01,050 --> 00:25:02,450
as long as you can defer that.

329
00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:03,570
That's probably your neighbour's doing.

330
00:25:05,050 --> 00:25:06,890
If you take that reclaim water

331
00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:09,150
and you put it in Lake Tracy, Lake Elsie,

332
00:25:09,390 --> 00:25:10,010
and it's toxic.

333
00:25:10,430 --> 00:25:12,510
You could learn on the fish in that water, could you?

334
00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:16,270
That's the problem that you're going to probably have.

335
00:25:16,490 --> 00:25:17,590
We don't want to have.

336
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:25,870
Great plain water is it meets secondary water standards and within a couple of things,

337
00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:30,330
a couple of parameters that you've made, drinking water standards, so it's not toxic.

338
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:34,150
So it is still drinking water standards, just don't recommend drinking it.

339
00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:39,710
I was asking the mayor a question and maybe you guys, I know you probably looked at

340
00:25:39,710 --> 00:25:40,070
the possibility.

341
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:43,090
What about boomerang, like boomerang?

342
00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:47,270
We have a project with boomerang if that project goes.

343
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:50,970
We will be supplying reclaim water to restore that.

344
00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:52,030
We can take it all.

345
00:25:52,330 --> 00:25:56,550
It's not a matter of doing it.

346
00:25:56,690 --> 00:25:58,150
We also have one in Lake Eva.

347
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,070
But we have to move far enough away from Lake Eva.

348
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:04,450
About two million, two and a half million,

349
00:26:04,610 --> 00:26:08,670
we can raise it by about a foot and a half.

350
00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:13,170
So we have those projects, we're studying and looking at those projects.

351
00:26:13,370 --> 00:26:14,850
Well, you're a nod.

352
00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:19,990
I'd like to see you push as much in the point ring, because you still call it late boomerang,

353
00:26:20,050 --> 00:26:20,730
but it's a drive.

354
00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:21,390
Yeah, that's right.

355
00:26:21,710 --> 00:26:23,310
So it's like to come back.

356
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:25,510
Yeah, that'll be a good project too.

357
00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:27,930
Thank you for that presentation.

358
00:26:28,290 --> 00:26:29,910
We look forward to resolution and going from there.

359
00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:30,670
Thank you.

360
00:26:31,610 --> 00:26:32,670
We're bringing that forward.

361
00:26:32,970 --> 00:26:33,670
We appreciate it.

362
00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:34,930
Any questions?

363
00:26:34,930 --> 00:26:40,910
comment said I will close the workshop where we are reconvening about one minute for

364
00:26:40,910 --> 00:26:41,810
the City Commissioner,

365
00:26:45,010 --> 00:26:47,250
they're right, they're a good point, it's a good point.
