l»rag commented that he had been hired to prepare a
treatment price" to deal with liquid tccai coliform bac-
teria effluent before it tv disc barged into Chtlderv Creek
rhe convultant mdKated that DEQ wanted Kiefer to
address both the fecal bacterial issue and low oxygen
levels before wadewatei is pumped intoChlldcrv
l*rag indicated machinery to a chlorinate the vewage
to kill bacteria and anothci system to remove the chlorine
Ide chkunule) the wastewater would he required Also
a process would he required bn adding oxygen to the
ueek bound discharge liquid
Oxygen levels could be increased by building adding
a cascade aerator to the sewer plant
All cascade aerators add 02 by encouraging the
water to splash The aeration actum is similar to a fast
running stream flowing over rock* Splash arras air err
ated bv plac mg blocks across an incline splashing the liq
unJ as gravity camev the flow downhill
l*rag stated it would take several numthc to put togelh
ct a survey, evaluation, specific at ions and to complete
drawings
(.rants to help defray costs with the mandated sewer
plant upgrades are being vHight through the state water
re sc Hire cs hoard and the Indian Nations Council of
Governments
"We will need a convent order and timeline executed
bv the Puhlu \ki*lv Board next month Prag vauJ
In addition DEQ will require construe turn permits he
submitted by June 1.2013 Prag tabbed a timeline of nine
months to upgrade or re build the vewer plant lift vtatum
anew In addition he sax! that DEQ would require mom
uirtng effluent over a six month stretch
Pumping stations in sewage collection systems, also
called lift stations, are designed to handle raw sewage
that tv fed from underground gravity pipelines
Sewage is fed into and stored in an underground pit
commonly known as a wet well When the sewage levc
rises U> a predetermined point, a pump will lift the
sewage to the treatment plant
In Kiefer‘v case sewage goes to >M *f ’'-‘f
sewage lagoons located just off lexa* K-sad ru>n!; ol
town
Pumping statnmv are used to move waste to higher
elevations Eailure trf a pumping station, can lead to a
sanitary sewer overflow resulting in the discharge ot ta»
sewage into the environment
Prag told board members that to upgrade Kiefer -
year old lift vtatum would coat an estmutex) tl.AOflU
meet DEQ specific alums
In addition DEQ would requirr a stanJbx cmci. uy
natural gac fueled generator on site to avoid pump f
ures during power .ullages
However Prag nrconunended that the town construct
an all new lift statnm estimated to cost JITSJM** tuning
that an all new system would cost just S2A t*** more than
an upgrade of (he old
After the informational barrage Public Woric
approved a motion to enter into a contract with RJN to
continue further with steps to survey and design an
updated sewer waste statum
