Council Minutes of 5/17/$3 -4_ 5) Environmental Control Committee met again on Monday, Ma.y 16th, with President Boehmer, Councilmen Bierman, Petrigac, Wilamosky, McKay, Mayor, Service Director, City Engineer, Superintendent Crider, and Mr. David Pizole of Dalton, Da2ton, Newport in attendance. Mr. Pizole presented a report on the Sewer Evaiuation System Survey in the North Olmsted service area; primary topie being the infiltration and inflow of water in the sanitary sewer system. The study is mandatory if federal funds are to be used to upgrade the Wastewater Treatuent Plant. Dalton, Dalton, Newport conducted the SSES in North Olmsted and Olmsted Township. Alexander Kanareff and the Fairview City Engineer made the study for the portion of Fairview Park that is involved. The lead agent for obtaining the EPA grant will be North Olmsted. The Treatment P1ant does not have the capacity to treat all of the wastewater and infiltration and inflow during periods of peak wet weather. Untreated water does flow into Rocky River and is not desirable. Infiltration and inflow is the storm water that finds its way into the sanitary sewer system through defective manholes - the covers, frames, corbe18, walls and aprons. Also responsible for I and I are mainline sewers whieh can have broken pipes, leaking joints, and iinproper connections. The amount of wastewater being treated would be redueed by 10,000,000 gallons per day if repairs were made in these areas. Also recommended was the upgrading of the Treatment Plant to accommodate a peak flaw of twenty-two and one-half million gallons per day. Construction of a relief sewer plant from Ward 5 in Fairview Park wouid be very desirable, financed by Fairview Park and grant money. This would eliminate 60% of the burden on the sewers in the Esther Avenue area. If constructed, this would eliminate the 227th street pump station; reduce the chance of overflows at the Sherwood pump station; and eliminate the flcrw meter that meters the water from Fairview Park. At the present time, this meter restricts the flow. A storage basin would be constructed at the North Olmsted Treatment Plant to hold the excess flow so the water could be treated over a longer period of time. 6) The Committee also discussed legislation No. 83-50, 83-55, and 83-56 and has no objection. Ordinance No. 83-49 will be held in committee for further dfiscussion. This is regarding the water being supplied to North Olmsted by the City of Cleveland and its cost. Mr. Wilamosky and Mrs. Petrigac discussed the removal of the flow meter which meters the water from Fairview Park; how will North Olmsted get an accurate accounting of exactly how much of their wastewater is flowing into our Treatment Plant? Mr. McKay stated he would get a recomwndation from Dalton, Dalton, ATewport as to the best method of measuririg the flow from Fairview Park, prior to the next Environmental Meeting. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Coimaittee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Streets and Drainage Committee met on Ma.y 16th with Service Director Corrigan in attendance. Drainage problems in the Edgepark/Woodpark area were diacussed. Mr. Corrigan has contacted a contractor, who has provided an estimate, however Mr. Corrigan has not officially passed the information on to the residents since the contractor was to go back and look over the area again. A year ago, the residents were advised that the City would try to get a cost estimate for them but the pro3ect would be done at the residents' expense. Mr. Corrigan will be contacting the contractor and then the residents in the near future. 2) Committee discussed the status of various undedicated subdivisions, many which go back two and three years or more. Once again, would ask the Administratian and the Engineering Department to undertake some action to have the deficiencies corrected by the developers; where there is a total lack of progress, and performance bonds are intact, ca11 those bonds, get the subdivisions up to code and remove the deficiencies. Committee does not recommend accepting the Brendan Circle Subdivision. The developer has made some repairs to the concrete in the eircle area., however it is believed the repairs were basically experimental and with the past mild winter, they have not had to stand up to severe weather conditions. Committee would request a current update on the status of various subdivision not yet accepted for dedi cation, along with a
