Regular Council Meeting <br />October 21, 1996 <br />Page b <br />1Vlr. Klunzinger said he will prepare something. He said the picture shows fully mature trees, but it <br />won't be too far down the road. <br />Dr. Parker asked if it is functioning now-or when will it be functioning? <br />IVIr. Klunzinger said it can be functioning in a passive fashion within aboug two weeks. Everything <br />is installed now except the final instrumentation and controls. The two facnlities at Euclid and Crreen <br />and Richmond and Ridgebury are passively taking air right now. You can go over there and literally <br />stand on top of the bed and there is not a hint of an odor. <br />Dr. Parker said a resident has expressed to him that in walking by that facility in the past week or <br />two that there was odor there. <br />Mr. Klunzinger said there will still be a little odor escaping from the County system. They are still <br />pumping to the street. They have sealed everything they can think of to seal, but it will still sneak <br />out on occasion. 'Those odors from the discharge of the pumping station will be drawn to the <br />biofilter instead of escaping through the sewer system. <br />1VIr. Kritzer said he went out there one day and they did not have their cover over the pipe so some <br />of the gases got into the air. <br />Mr. Klunzinger said having heard that if anyone notices any odor-they should call them right <br />away. There is a little wisp from the County Pumping Station but if there is more than that, it could <br />be something like Marc just described. <br />Dr. Parker asked if they won't even have a wisp of an odor after the biofilter is on line. <br />Mr. Klunzinger said that is correct. <br />Mrs. Hoenigman asked if they have landscaped other people's properties. <br />1VIr. Rlunzinger said they landscaped the church because the church did nof want to seIl them the <br />property, they just gave them an easement. <br />Mr. Marquardt asked how long this type of biofilter has been in use. <br />1VIr. Rlunz%nger said biof lters as a concept have been in use for hundreds of years. The oldest of the <br />modern biofilters is 12 years old. That one has held up without any replacements needed. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Marquardt asked why replacements would be needed and how bacteria is controlled.
