DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Secondary Treatment
Public Works Director Pittis summarized recent meetings with DOE regarding
secondary treatment, specifically noting items DOE is concerned with: (1)
accelerated repair of diffuser; (2) SEPA compliance; (3) limitation on
consultant contract to 8.8% of construction costs versus our current contract
at 12.5%; (4) denial or reimbursement for planning costs incurred by Port
Angeles; and (5) pump station 4 re-construction moved to 1995.
Administrative Services Director Wolfe discussed spreadsheet analysis of
moving pump station 4 and resulting impact and rates.
Public Works Director Pittis told the Committee that EPA does not expect
a completed and reviewed design by September 30, 1990, the Consent Decree
date, only a completed design by the City. Also, EPA is reviewing and may
change the acceptable BOD levels before fines are levied.
Jeff Rosbach stated that any letter should state that we want higher levels of
BOD because the plant was not designed to handle these. We should also
document in the letter our maintenance effort and plans on pump station 4.
Utility Advisory Committee

Secondary. Treatment (Cont.)
Staff will prepare information for the Council agenda regarding the pump
station reconstruction, the appeal of the design reimbursement rejection, and
supporting increased reimbursement percentage level on design contracts.
Staff will also keep the Council informed on BOD levels.
B. Stormwater Management
Rick Schaeffer, of Brown and Caldwell, updated the Committee on the
stormwater plan. A draft document will be done by November, with a
presentation to the Council and a final report by the end of the year.
C. Landfill
John Hordyk updated members on the background of solid waste activities
back to 1968. The Committee discussed alternatives to eliminating receipt
of solid waste from outside Clallam County. City Engineer Gary Kenworthy
noted that waiver of a closure date is tentatively approved. Cost is up from
$3.5 million to $4.08 million. The methane problem has increased the cost,
along with construction management fees. Administrative Services Director
Wolfe briefly discussed financing options on the landfill.
The Committee consensus was to report to the Council at the second meeting
in November.
V. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 A.M.
