( Alderman Solinger arrived at the beginning of this hearing. ) A Hearing on the Facilities Plan for Solids Handling Improvements at the Water Reclamation Plant. Wishing to be heard was Kim Erickson of CH2M Hill. Mr. Erickson presented slides on the capacity of the Treatment Plant over the next'20 years and also included alternatives to the problems for council consideration. The alternatives are attached. Alderman Bluhm questioned Mr. Erickson on whether or not anyone had contacted him before our current plant was built and if they had, did ne provide any information. Mr. Erickson stated that he had not been contacted but the industrial waste breakdown was not available at the time the plant was built and they did not have information regarding the quantity of solids produced in the treatment of wastes. Alderman Hunziker questioned the future use of this plant if an alternate is chosen. Mr. Erickson responded that 20 years would be the maximum projection using only resident growth. If a major plant came to town that used this process more then the average, the capacity of the plant would not be as great. Wishing to be heard was Tom Mullins of the RAEDI organization. He wished to convey the message that the treatment plant allow for some industries to move to Rochester. He stated that the figures and projections were only extended to residents. Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President Selby closed the hearing. The recommendation is to accept the $13.6 million dollar expansion at the current plant location. This recommended solution would spread the sludge in liquid form on farmland. Alderman Solinger sated that he would like to see the plant be able to handle future growth in the City by both residents and industries. Mr. Erickson stated that with this recommended addition, the current plant is up to capacity in additions. Further expansion would be very costly at that point. A second treatment plant could be considered also. Alderman Strain mentioned that if pre-treatment is done with the RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA Agenda Item B-4 1 Adjourned Meeting No. 24 - February 6, 1989 waste before it enters the sewers, this would result in less discharge. It was mentioned as a possibility in case new industry was considering moving to Rochester. Alderman Bluhm stated that he thinks the City of Rochester is putting themselves in a precarious position - Mr. Erickson stated that if industry is added then the potential life of the treatment plant woul be cut from 20 years to possibly 10. This would of course depend on the usage and the growth of residences. Alderman Strain wondered if the projected growth included cluster housing (annexation) being added. Mr. Erickson stated that it had not, only projected people currently in the City and the pop- ulation growth. Mr. Roger Plumb, Public Services Director, stated that not all industries would be bad for the city because of limited capacity at the treatment plant, only those with the high strength waste. Wet industries :, would of course, be worse because of the high waste strength. Alderman Strain then stated that he agreed,:. alternative 1 is the lea costly but he was still concerned about the capacity level. -I-t was noted that administrative staff of the City recommended Alternate No. 1. Hunziker moved, Bluhm second to approve alternate No. 1 but to recommend that the future projections of the City be studied further so that this type of situation can be eliminated: Wishing to be comment was Marvin Skodje, Manager of the Water Reclamation Plant. He stated that the plant has two different types o treatment. 1. Liquid and 2. Sludge. This design of the sludge. improvements will bring the sludge treatment up to the the liquid capacity. He stated that expansion of the liquid is the most costly to• -handle. He would urge the Council to look at this in 10 years or sooner if Alternate No. l is accepted. Vote was taken at this time.
