Public Hearing MINUTES

January 2, 2007

Call to Order:

The Monday, January 2, 2007, Hearing called to order by Mayor Clifford “Kip” Allen at 6:45 P.M

Roll Call:

The following Council members were present: H. Robert Cannell, Robert Cogan, Jean Davis, Mary Ann Horne, Clifford Allen, and Greg Lucas. Member absent was Dr. Dennis Travis. Also in attendance was Manager T Jemetz, Code Enforcement Officer Dave Zamierowski, and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were Melissa Beno, Edinboro News; Jayne Szymanski; Kathy Janson; Ginny Jamison; and Bob Jamison.

Introduction:

Mayor Allen read the advertisement for tonight Hearing. It was noted that the property was posted and the notice posted was read.

Communications:

Letter from the Edinboro Planning Commission recommending to Council the following:

1. All plans, maps and petitions are to be reviewed by the Eire County Planning Department.

2. It is strongly recommended, that if approved, and a County Library becomes a resident, a sidewalk be constructed from the Maple Drive, 6N West intersection to the proposed new library site.

3. It is recommended that if approved, all parcels within the proposed site be joined into one parcel.

4. It is recommended that if approved and during the permitting process a detailed elevation plan view and landscaping plan be submitted to the Design Review and Shade Tree committees.

Letter from the Erie County Planning Commission stated, “ The submitted request involves the rezoning of three parcels located along Plum Street bearing Eire County Tax number (11) 12-30-2, (11) 12-29-3.01, and (11) 12-39-4.01 from I1 Industrial to C-2 Periphery Business District. Based on our review, it appears that this proposed amendment is consistent with the Erie County Comprehensive Plan, as adopted. The extension of the current C-2 zoning is accommodating to the future use of said parcels and we concur with the recommendations set forth by the Edinboro Planning Commission.”

There is hereby imposed a surcharge upon the owners of, and the users of water in or on, all properties discharging or permitting to be discharged or infiltrated into the public sanitary sewerage system abnormal industrial wastes, which surcharge is intended to cover the additional cost to the public sanitary sewerage system from the treatment and disposal of such abnormal industrial waste. Such surcharges shall be in addition to the regular sewer service charge and shall be payable as hereinafter provided in the amount hereinafter provided.

The strength of any industrial waste, the discharge of which is subject to surcharge, shall be determined monthly, or more frequently, from samples taken either at the manhole or at any other sampling point established by the Borough. The frequency and duration of the sampling period shall be such as, in the opinion of the Borough, will permit a reasonably reliable determination of the average composition of such wastes, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface and ground water. Samples shall be collected by the Borough in proportion to the flow of wastes, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, and composite for analysis in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage as published by the American Public Health Association. Except as hereinafter provided, the strength of such wastes so found by analysis shall be used for establishing the surcharge or surcharges. The Borough may, if it so elects, accept the results of routine sampling and analyses by the producer of such wastes in lieu of making his own sampling and analyses.

A. B.O.D. SURCHARGE

In the event any industrial waste is found by the Borough to have a B.O.D. (B.O.D. shall designate the "Biochemical Oxygen Demand" shall mean the quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation of the organic matter in sewage or industrial waste or industrial waste under standard laboratory procedure in 5 days at 20 degree Celsius, expresses in mg/l by weight) in excess of 300 mg/l, the owners of and the users of water in or on, the property from which such wastes are discharged shall be surcharged an amount equal to the product of :

(1) The actual volume of wastes in thousand gallons per billing period, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, discharged to the public sanitary sewerage system; and

(2) The "B.O.D. surcharge rate". The B.O.D. surcharge rate" shall be determined by the following formula:

Rc = 0.00834 P (C-300)

where Rc = the B.O.D. surcharge rate n cent per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged.

P = the average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of treatment processes per pound of B.O.D. received at the treatment works, including chlorination.

C = the average B.O.D. of the industrial waste expressed in mg/l as determined previously.

The figure 300 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum B.O.D. permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert parts per million to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having B.O.D. less than 300 mg/l.

B. SUSPENDED SOLIDS SURCHARGE

In the event any industrial waste is found, by the Borough, to have an average suspended solid concentration in excess of 250 mg/l, the owners of, and the users of water in or on, the property from which such wastes are discharged shall be surcharged an amount equal to the product of:

(1) The actual volume of wastes in thousand gallons per billing period exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, discharge to the public sanitary sewerage system; and

(2) The "suspended solids surcharge rate". The "suspended solids surcharge rate: shall be determined by the following formula:

Rs = 0.00834 x B (s-250)

Where Rs = the suspended solids surcharge rate in cents per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged

B = the average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of the sludge digestion, sludge drying and sludge disposal operations per pound of suspended solids received at the treatment works.

S = the average suspended solid concentration of the abnormal industrial wastes expressed in mg/l.

The figure 250 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum suspended solids concentration permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert parts per million to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having suspended solids concentration less than 250 mg/l.

C. CHLORINE SURCHARGE

In the event that any industrial waste is found by the Borough, to have a chlorine requirement in excess of thirty (30) milligrams per liter, the producer of said waste shall be surcharges an amount equal to the product of :

(1.) The actual volume of wastes in 1,000 gallons per billing period discharged to the public sanitary sewer system; and

(2.) The "chlorine requirement surcharge rate". The "chlorine requirement surcharge rate" shall be determined by the following formula:

R = 0.00833 P (C-20)

where Rc = the chlorine requirement surcharge rate in cent per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged

P = the average cost of chlorine to the Borough in cents per pound.

C = the average chlorine requirement of the industrial waste expressed in milligrams per litter as determined in accordance with the Borough Sewer Usage Ordinance.

The figure 30 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum chlorine requirements which is permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00833 is the factor to convert milligrams per litter to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having a chlorine requirement less than 30 milligrams per litter.
