I will address each terms that I think person. r of these elements,individually in should be understandable to the lay 1. ODOR: Because of the nature of the material being handled in the long force main (causing sewerage to become septic) it is recommended that the following modifications be made: A. That the plant itself, be moved into the Southwest corner of the property, thereby increasing the distance to the St. Edward's School property. B. That the inlet into the plant (inffulent) be submerged in an area having a high DO (dissolved oxygen). C. That odofus be i.,- injected upstream from the plant to minimize odors. 2. NOISE: A. At present the blowers and generator are housed in the mechanical room at the West end. The generator and radiator, etc. vent out through the North wall at the set -back line. It is suggested that rotating the building at 90 degrees counter- clockwise will place the noise source further a- way from the school property and living quarters. An additional advantage would be two masonry walls which "would be between the noise source and the school property. 3. AEROSOL EFFECT: A. The relocation of the plant into the Southwest corner, as recommended earlier, has the benefit of locating that section of the plant, which pro- duces the greatest amount of aerosol, the fur- thennost distance from the St. Edward's School property within the site plan. It is suggested that a heavy undergrowth of trees, shrubby, etc., be placed between the school property and the plant to inhibit the aerosol drift onto the school property. I think it should be brought to everyone's atten- tion that the plant itself is some 12 to 13 feet high and very difficult to conceal. 4. AESTHETICS: Aesthetically, it is very difficult to hide a wastewater treatment plant, but many things can be done to minimize the effect on neighbors. A great deal of planting in the area would disguise or shield the elements of the plant, i.e., equipment , office. The further these elements are from the property line the lessor the impact will be, due to the fact that it provides more room for planting, etc. The other elements of the plant, filters, mudwell, etc., are nominally low profile and produce little or no noise and have minimal odor problems and shall be placed between the noise producing elements and the abutting property. In the writer's opinion, these recommendations and the re -orientation of the elements as suggested by Hutchison Utilities, Inc. would minimize the impact on the adjacent property. Sincerely, R49eF.
