WEST EUGENE TRUNK SYSTEM (Background information distributed) Mr. Allen gave an update of the joint sewer prograr.l being planned in cooperation with Metro Wastewater Management Commission. He alerted the Councilors to a public hearing June 24 for alternate routes for the West Side Sewer Trunk System. One alternative is to piggy-back on a proposed new pressure line to West Irwin Pumping Station. Because the headworks of the Eugene/Springfield Metropolitan Wastewater treatment plant will be 15 feet higher than the existing headworks, the West Irwin Pump Station capacity will be decreased 25 percent when e the treatment plant goes into operation. There are problems currently with infil- tration and inflow. The West Irwin station is operating above its capacity. Growth is expected to add more sewage. During peak wet weather flows, this sta- tion is overloaded 30 to 50 percent. In the new proposed system, they are provi- ding for future capacity to serve River Road and Santa Clara. A new pumping station is being proposed for construction, possibly at Terry and Barger. This sewer project is eligible for Federal funding. Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) is in charge of the local Environmental Protection Agency Grant program, the contracting agency for Federal money. The City will contribute funding for the City's share of the growth areas in the Urban Reserve. The Department of Environmental Quality will determine eligibility for various portions of the project and the funding priorities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funds the programs, approves grant eligibility, and approves the environmental impact statement. On June 24, 1982, there will be a public hearing on the four alternative routings of the pressure line. On July 8, 1982, MWMC will select an alternative route. On August 3, 1982, the Planning Commission will be asked to request the Boundary Commission for the extra territorial extensions involved. On August 23, 1982, the City Council will act on the Planning Commission's request. On October 7, 1982, the Boundary Commission will act. The recommendation is to include the capacity for River Road/Santa Clara (Federally funded). e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 14, 1982 Page 1
