US -92 -03 -ED <br />Presently, the West Regional utility site is able to dispose of only <br />0.77 MGD of effluent water during the dry season. The incoming <br />connections of mobile home parks in the area create a deficit in its <br />capability to dispose of toe production of effluent from the plant. <br />The present irrigation on this type of soil shows a very small <br />amount -of effluent disposal on the 230 acres of land. The <br />Department seeks other alternative methods to"increase efficiency <br />for the said site. <br />ANALYSIS <br />FBased on•'the interpretation of an underground investigation,' the <br />study recommended to the County as the primary effluent disposal <br />Isystem would have to adhere to the Department of Environmental <br />,Regulation rules, County ground recharge ordinances, and other <br />i.regulatory agencies' related rules. The system should=.meet the <br /><<following criteria: <br />i8. Most cost effective (the most economical cost for effluent <br />disposal). A construction cost comparison',is expected from <br />.=f <br />other alternative methods. <br />r <br />';b. Most efficient system. A system which will be able to dispose <br />of the most gallonage on the 230 -acre County utility site. <br />Ice Permittable by any regulatory agency. A conceptual letter or <br />permit from regulatory agencies is expected. <br />;The funding.for this study will be funded from Sewer Impact Fees. <br />.RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve. the advertisement of an RFF for "the <br />subject study. <br />26 <br />
